Home > Consumer Reviews > Creative Gigaworks T20 Series II Multimedia Speakers

I bought these speakers on some recommendations from Amazon previous buyers of the older T20 series I. Thinking the Series II would be as good if not better. I was very happy with these speakers, the sound from it is brilliant. I'm not into 2.1 setup or the full 7.1 setup that my computer can handle, simply because my daughter will just mess up the wires anyway. I simply wanted a good solid set of speakers that will sit nicely next to my monitor. These were a fine choice. However....
....What annoys me the most is the power adapter which is so loud it can be heard above my computer and unless I turn the volume pass half way I can hear them BUZZing away!!! This problem was in the series I but I stupidly thought they would have fixed this by now. I'm surprised the others with reviews have not heard it or just put up with it. Also it is so big it blocks adjacent sockets to be used, stupid design flaw.

Lastly Creative Lab recommends that the power adapter should be unplugged after 4 hours without use, I think this is indication that they recognise their power adapters are not the right ones to use.

Overall, I would have given this a five star and must be set of speakers if you are wanting just a pair, but dropped it to 3 star due to the annoying power adapter. Creative Lab do something about it, buy in a better component that runs silently at least!

I wanted a good pair of speakers which didn't have the added subwoofer for my pc. Having owned Creative once before I wanted to get them again and I am not disapointed. These speakers look great in their gloss back casing, and the yellow speaker cone look very smart through the cloth. The sound quality is excellent for the size, great bass responce which you think could be a bigger pair of speakers at times. Treble is handled very well too making easy work of any music you put to it. I would highly recommend these for good pair of speakers which will last a lifetime!

I've recently bought these and set them up and they're fantastic. I bought them to connect to a new Pinnacle Soundbridge Home Music stick thingy (wireless streaming of internet radio and itunes playlists) and they work flawlessly. Sound quality is better than the Harmon Karden soundsticks I used to have for my Mac. These days the bass isn't cranked up like it was when I was in my teens because I like to listen to the mids and trebles these days, and these speakers really are nifty for that, but the bass can be wacked up without loss of quality if that's your bag.

I also use them plugged into the headphone jack of my ipod, and they connect to my Mac fine too.

I've not noticed the annoying hum/buzz that others mention (something which my ears normally pick up, believe me), nor is the adaptor too big either - although it does get in the way of a regular plug socket switch, but I use a multi-gang extension surge protector anyway so I just turn that off when I'm not using them.

One speaker has a line-in and a headphone jack, and that speaker also has the treble, bass and volume on/off nobs. Both speakers feel solid and weighty enough not to be knocked over too easily, look good and take up little space.

I'm so impressed with these (especially for the size) that I've now ditched my Denon Hi-Fi separates in favour of these and a pinnacle/ipod combo.

Excellent speakers with loads of bass and great sound quality. Well made a good looking as well as being easy to set up and good control features via the three knobs on the front. There is no buzzing noise from the adapter and now instead of having the plug built into the adapter they are now separated by about 2 foot of cable, this means that it no longer takes up two plug spaces. Definitely would recommend.

I've had these for a day and already I can't believe how good they are. This would be the fourth pair of creative speakers this household has owned (none have broken - they just belong to different computers at different universities) the sound is amazing. They handle everything from Beethoven to Rammstein perfectly. There is no distortion, the bass is brilliant, especially for such small speakers, they look great, feel strong and sturdy and they go VERY LOUD. This makes me happy. I look forward to watching films with them.
