These are a decent pair of basic computer speakers. Subwoofer is tiny and way underpowered (only 6 watts). Flat panel speakers themselves are ok, not great. Sound is not as crisp as a regular set of Altec Lansing speakers. Labtec sells an identical pair of these flat panel speakers but with a much more powerful subwoofer. For less distorted bass I would suggest those instead.

I also purchased these speakers for my brother for Chritmas, and when I hooked them up for him, I felt terrible. The subwoofer, and the other flat panel speakers can not handle anything with base. If you plan to listen to music through them, keep searching, because you will not be happy. When you slightly turn up the volume, the speakers vibrate, and move on your desk. I am returning them. Please do not make the same mistake.

I bought the Benwin BW-2000 Flat Panel Computer Speakers for my brother for Christmas. I was impressed with the design and looks of the product. It's kinda cool to have speakers that are less than an inch thick. Here's the problem. I was not impressed with the small subwofer, also at high volume the speakers distort too easly. These might seem like little problems, but if your looking for good sound and for a speaker system that can sustain that good sound at higher volumes, this product cannot deliver! One more thing! Maybe theres something wrong with my set of speakers, or maybe it's in all of them, but when you turn on the speakers it picks up an AM RADIO STATION! These speakers act like some kind of antenna, to a local AM radio station here where I live. It's allways there, you can turn down the volume or turn it up, and it has no effect. Also when you place your hand on the subwofer, the radio station volume gets louder! I've never been a human radio amplifier before! So, I did what anyone else would have done.. I returned the item..

Cool looks, but thumbs down from me, and my brother!

While the speakers were alarmingly thin, their sound meshes well with the sub-woofer. The sound is full and dynamic, with a nice range. While, you can't crank the volume, it does give a fairly loud performance with little or no distortion. I, too, was a bit surprised at how small the speakers were--slightly larger than my open hand, but a quick listen dispelled my fears. And, they look awesome!

Benwin flat panel speakers are great. It gives great sound output. Powerful enough for desktop computers. The sound is great. It also made my desk looks very "futuristic" with its super thin speakers. It's just wayyy COOOLLL~!
