Manufacturer's Description
Creative GigaWorks G550W wireless speakers are the THX Certified solution for ultimate 5.1 audio on the PC. Ideal for gaming, home theater, PC use and MP3 listening, they offer maximum convenience by eliminating untidy surround cables to the rear satellites. They then add the extra flexibility of a wireless remote that can even control key functions on popular Creative MP3 players! Sound quality is outstanding, thanks to high-efficiency, full-frequency satellites and a wood subwoofer with a dual ported design for aggressive bass - great for games and movies. Satellites and subwoofer are finished in black, with metal grilles for a distinctive look, and the design includes a headphone output for private listening.

    Expensive and useless1
    I bought this set of speakers about 6 months ago, and after about a month of use they began to switch themselves off. This began to happen more and more frequently until I contected Creative for a replacement, which they did so. It's been another month and now my new pair have began to do the same thing. DO NOT BUY THESE SPEAKERS! This is a very common problem, just check the Creative Support Forum and you'll see masses of complaints about this issue.

    G550W over heating and switching off manufacturer fault 1
    I purchased these expensive high quality speakers not knowing that there is a common fault with them. After a couple of weeks they will start to turn off intermittently, until eventually you won't be able to switch them on at all. Also if you have a wireless network the signal from the speakers will knock out you wireless signal from the modem. All of what I have said can be verified by going on to the Creative forum. Creative do offer an RMA service where you have to pay for the item to be shipped back to them in order for your problem to be rectified.

    My advice is do not buy these speakers they are over priced and there is a very good chance you will encounter problems with them.

    Do not buy these speakers!!!1
    I am currently on replacement speaker set number 5. I am now having problems with no wireless speaker operation with this set. All previous sets failed and like the other reviewers speakers, mine turned off too because of overheating.
