Rating : - Don't settle for less in this case!
My first impression of these speakers was they might be mediocre for the price even if they are a little ugly in their cosmetics. I found the blue power light on the sub distracting and too large and bright for its purpose. The sub speaker it's self is a cheap flimsy item that is screwed into the bottom of the box and is unguarded by a grill of some kind. But cosmetics aside I found the fact that the volume is controlled by varying the input astonishing! The volume remote also lacked a headphone jack on it which is a large inconvenience and somewhat uncommon for computer/multimedia speaker systems. Once powered up and going they sound good on the surface but only compared to your grandmother's clock radio. While the satellite speakers hit high tones loudly they were extremely bright and distorted. The sub does its job in terms of "thumping" rap music but was unable to carry sustained low tones from bass vocals and guitars. You can hear an obvious cut-off between the satellites and the sub which does not help the sub sound omnidirectional. As for the mid ranged tones they reflected the poor construction of the boxes and sounded toneless and cold. I found a couple of people in my dorm with this speaker set to compare mine with and my set was not a fluke; they all sounded the same even from different sources. Because of these reasons I cannot recommend these speakers to anyone with a tuned ear, even for the price.
