Very good, I would have payed more.
(5 out of 5) by Bigfatguy6969 on Nov 26, 2005I got these set of speakers, the day after thanksgiving sale at office depot for only 13$ us.
They are pretty amazing, even though it has only has a max output of 26 watts. The bass is rich, and the treble released by the two flat panel speakers are rich. I don't even have a good sound card, im using on-board audio. Im amazed, that my on-board audio could be this good!
With a good soundcard these speakers could be alot better.
They also look pretty nice. The two blue led lights on each flat planel speaker are pretty cool, especially with a gaming PC. The two flat panel speakers, look sweet. They also take up hardly any room.
The size of the subwoofer is pretty small, yet I'm surprised by the quality of the bass. Good things come in small packages =)
The install, and setup of these speakers toke me 2 minutes. Plug and Play at it's best.
I would definatley recommend these to anyone from, speaker experts to beginners.

Thumbs Up
(4 out of 5) by Mr. B on Dec 30, 2005 (Texas)Purchased 2 sets @ Off/Depot for $13. High quality sound for the price. Originally intended for home computers but also can be used for external devices like Ipods..
Cheap (in a good way) Sound!
(4 out of 5) by SirStinky on Nov 7, 2008 (Vancouver, WA USA)I picked these up at Office Depot for $19.99 on sale, and at first I thought it was going to be one of those "you get what you pay for" deals.
I was skeptical that anything costing $20 would compare to more expensive systems, but I'm happy to report that they do hold their own. I had a set of Sony multimedia speakers (2.1 type, 2 satellites and a subwoofer) that cost $50 new, and I swapped them out for these ones because they sounded better! Deaspite being lower wattage (15w compared to 22w for Sony), these had good sound- chrisp highs, defined lows, good midranges, which is surprising in a $20 speaker set. they sounded better than the Sonys, especially in the bass department, partially because of the adjustible bass output.
The satellites have 2.5 inch drivers on stands with nifty blue power indicator lights on each. There's an on-off switch, bass level adjustment, and master volume control on the right speaker, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. The subwoofer is a downward firing unit with the bass port located underneath the enclosure, which is interesting because this is the first subwoofer system I've seen to have this feature. The enclosure has legs which put it about an inch off the ground because the bass driver is not enclosed, and can be seen on the bottom of the enclosure, along with the bass port.
This configuration must work, because the bass is good, not muddy or weak like on some systems, and it does this with just 15 watts of power.
Overall, i'm very pleased with these. They were cheap (the good kind of cheap) and they do their job very well. They've got features found on more expensive units, and the blue lighting is very cool (matches my HP laptop's lighting). If you don't want to spend a lot of money to get a good 2.1 multimedia speaker set, get these! These don't compare to a Logitech Z-2300's or Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's, but for what they are, they do a great job.

You get what you pay for
(2 out of 5) by Kenneth Shed on Mar 6, 2007 (New Hampshire)What the reviewer below me said is correct. These speakers do seem to be very sensitive when adjusting the volume control. The sub woofer does not seem to have any issues, but towers do. When I just adjust the volume knob it can suddenly have a sharp, static noise come in and out. I have checked the connections as well as various volume controls within the Windows XP and Windows Media Player volume controls. Despite trying different adjustments they just are not "smooth" in any sense of the word. Fortunately I did not spend a fortune on them. Shop around and look for another alternative, because if you are like me and like to at least listen to some tunes when working at your computer, these are not the best option.

Pretty, But Useless
(2 out of 5) by Shane Dorman on Feb 10, 2006 (CA)The only reason I gave two stars for these speakers is because they have pretty blue lights when they are turned on. However, the blue lights sometimes flicker and dim for no reason, or extinguish completely.
The volume control is useless- move it the slightest bit to either side and the volume is either at the maximum or minimum. There is no in-between.
Another problem I'm going to list is that static is a constant factor, and every couple minutes there's a loud popping noise and the blue lights flicker.
This is a very bad product!! Don't waste your money!!
