Customer Reviews

SOUND AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK!!
After reading numerous good reviews of these speakers I recently purchased a 2nd hand set off of eBay as my Creative I-Trigue 3200's subwoofer mysteriously packed up having had very little use. When these arrived (in mint condition) the setup was instant & all the 3 plugs colour coded for easy guidance. Note:for best sound from the 2 satellites, if the speakers are placed below ear level, position them upwards for full & clearer clarity. After moving the speakers around to find their best position I was absolutely amazed at the crystal clear sound quality & stereo imaging listening through my itunes music library. These blow away the I-Trigue 3200's & could even give my Technics hifi separates costing nearly £2000 a decent run for their money. The hifi could seriously become redundant, I kid you not!!

As others have mentioned, the bass can be very top heavy, but with some tweaking on the remote control you can get a finely balanced sound with great but not overbearing bass which will easily fill a large sized room let alone a small one. These can go loud, very loud. When it comes to listening to music of any genre (I have a very wide taste in music & over 16,000 songs in itunes), for me, great sound quality is a must and these speakers produce a very pleasing & satisfying sound. Easily a 5 star recommendation!!

*IMPORTANT* NOTE TO ANY POTENTIAL BUYERS: having owned these speakers now for around 7 months,the sub has a low pitched hum which is only noticeable late at night "IF" listening at a low level. At higher volumes you won't hear it!! Because of this low hum i now rate these as 4 stars as I am still happy with them & they are good sounding speakers for the price along with their stylish looks.

Great product!
These speakers definitely provide a LOT of sound....and good base as well. The remote is a nice addition although it does not have a long range, like you find on most Hi-Fi's and DVD players. Still better than getting up to change the volume every time (I use my speakers for my DVD player). Overall I am very happy with my purchase....would buy it again if I had to! Great speakers...

Wireless 2.1 speaker system
Arrived on time, packed very well, easy setup even for someone who has no knowledge of these sort of things. Excellent sound reproduction, as good as some 5.1 systems. Speakers have adjustable angles (up/down).

Only complaint is the size of the remote control, so small and easy to misplace (have lost it twice already). If you did lose the remote then you only have controls of on/off and loudness on system it's self.
