I bought these speakers because I was tired of the pathetic ones that came with my PC. I got them home, uncrated them, and, just to give them a test, plugged them into an old CD Walkman. A month later, they're still hooked up to the Walkman and I'm contemplating another pair for the PC!
I was really suprised by the power this system pushes. The documentation is a bit sparse, but I'm led to believe that the whole system produces less than 40 watts. However, the sound is massive, largely in part to the 8" subwoofer which, at times, threatens to overpower the satellites. Not just loud, but clean sound, breaking up very little at top volume.
The only complaint I have is that the satellites are a bit bright and a bit weak in the midrange. Mostly I listen to reggae, so antually this sound works well, but I haven't found listening to jazz or classical as fulfilling. Still, you can't beat them and with a cheap Walkman CD player, I now have decent sounds in the bedroom.
(5 out of 5)Great Speakers for a great price
This Labtec set amazed me. For (price), I did not expect the kind of quality I got. I compared this set to my old speaker system, a... Creative Labs FPS1000. Well I can safely say, although the price of this labtec is a little less than double the creative, its about 8 times better.
The subwoofer is built well, its heavy, in a strong wooden case to eliminate distortion. The base is extremely powerful. The only problem it suffers is that at some volumes, it tends to overpower the satellites. But this can be fixed by adjusting the level of the base.
The Satellites are very lightweight, sometimes, i wonder if they are too lightweight. But anyway, they sound great, very clear. There is a power button, volume control and headphone jack on the satellite, very convenient.
There is only one slight problem with this system, it comes with a flimsy manual. But, that isn't too much of a problem because it is very easy to set up. Thats why I give it 5/5 Stars.
(5 out of 5)Best fifty dollars I ever spent
Run, don't walk, and buy the Labtec Pulse speakers now! I am continually amazed at the sound quality from these babies. For the price, you'll be blown away. The subwoofer is distortion free and produces taut, powerful bass. The power supply is contained in the subwoofer, so there's no big power brick to plug in. The fit and finish on all components is quite good, and the subwoofer even has a real wood enclosure.
The satellites are excellent as well, and include a headphone jack, volume control, and power button. There's no treble or bass control, so you have to adjust them in software, and the subwoofer volume control is inconveniently located on the subwoofer itself.
What are you waiting for? Buy them before Labtec decides this price is a typo!
(5 out of 5)Best speakers around.
The Labtec pulse system is amazing, beats the hell out my old Cambridge Microworks system which was $150. I strongly advise you to get a pair.
(5 out of 5)Great value for the money
These are great little speakers and the sub-woofer is a powerhouse. Unless you are trying to fill a very large room these are probably all you will need. They are very convenient also because of the headphone jack on the speaker which was important to anyone living in an apartment or sharing space with others.
