Stunning. No other way to put it. Murder Bose equivalents.
I bought these speakers expecting only fairly good quality,seeing [...what] I was spending, which isn't a huge amount when it comes to speakers. However I give my highest recommendations. Having listened to Bose Companion 2s and 3s, I have to say these speakers are better. Companion 3s would only have an edge if your main concern was loads of bass. Apart from that I think these are better, and [...] cheaper. Creative have pulled out all the stops on these, and hence give them their highly acclaimed GigaWorks name.
Sound wise, unless you are planning to pump out droves of bass, these speakers are amazing. They have crisp and clear high ranges, clean and strong mid ranges, and a great amount of base, the level you would set your sub to for rock and classical music. Not overpowering but distinctly there. They are the best 2.0 for bass I have heard. 2.0 in my opinion is what to go for at this price level, as the subs you get in 2.1 sets around £50 are either a waste of space or give a disproportionate output and muddle up the mid ranges. As with all good speakers, there is about a day long "breaking in" period, so initally they will sound fairly good, but will later astound you. The speakers are best at about 30 to 70% volume, after that (which is higher than you would really use), they become a little harsh. The speakers are best with classical music and other soft music like Jazz and Pop, followed closely by rock. I tested bass output with Overseer's "Basstrap", and the bass gets better and better as you turn up the volume. You dont get a huge amount at lower volumes, but it's the kind of music you crank up anyway, and at the high volumes you get loads.
Cosmetically they are top notch, with excellent build quality and sturdy controls. Size-wise they are at about the limit for portability. They won't fit in your briefcase with your laptop, but if you have a rucksack you should be fine. They are also great for with an Mp3 player, with a convenient audio in port at the front of the speakers, as well as a cable for connecting. Of course if you are buying them for a desktop then this isn't a concern.
All things considered, you cannot find better speakers for [this price]. You can move 'em around, and they are built to last, and I will be amazed if you are not 100% satisfied.
Wonderful Sound - no need for 2.1 cables and clutter.
I read all the reviews here which are very accurate, these speakers produce a crisp, clear, accurate & well rounded sound with ample depth and richness for the audiophile in me. I have listened to Jose Gonzalez - Veneer, his voice comes through warm yet uncoloured and the guitar is so clear, then I tried out Philip Glass' - Violin Concerto the speakers handled the vioins and base well. The day before I bought these I tried some Altec Lansing VS4121 - 2.1 with a separate base box, I used Tri-State "Can't Sleep" as a reference as everyone seemed to imply may be issues about hndling base when choosing this type of speaker, they were awful, the base just boomed, it was best to turn it to the lowest setting, which made the base inaudible.....so I switched to the GigaWorks and nothing is drowned out. Don't be put off by the proce tag, or the fact they don't have a separate base unit, they'll look good on your desk. My only niggle is that the blue LED is a bit distracting, I intend to colur it out with a permanent marker.
The best 2.0 speakers you can buy - - really!
Everything about the new gigaworks t20 speakers is excelent, exactly what you'd ecpect from creative. All the connectors are gold tiped for the best conductivity, they work brilliantly with any mp3 player (i use a zen vision) and work equally as well with all other aidio devices, i use them with my laptop now also.
They aren't the smallest 2.0 speakers you've ever seen 24x19x9cm ,but that's understandable because of the amazing integrated woofers in each one. There is a second line in port in the front along with a headphone out.
The main top (bass) speaker is made from yellow fibre-glass and looks cool with the cover off.
I now use them instead of my hi-fi AUX in for listening to music because the sound is so incredible.
These guys (T20) will fill a medium sized room with with very loud sound, but the main beauty of them is the clarity and size of them (without the need for a woofer!).
These are definatley the high quality replacement for your laptop or office or as long-trip-away travel speakers. The only warning ill give is that the power cord is a bit short.
