   I just want to complain about the price.
   
   Yesterday, I bought it in the price of $41.16 but today the price goes down to $32.35.
   
   Oh my god, what happens here?
   
   Why Amazon do like this to me?

   I’m your customer for a long time, buy many of your things.

   However, if you want to buy this thing or other, I recommend you just wait to make sure that Amazon does not play this trick to you all again.

   i just got those speakers and the sound isn’t good at all,if it weren’t for the BASS,those speakers would sound like a pair of cheap $4.99 speakers.they also feel cheapish .
   
   i own also the LOGITECH X-230 which sounds much better and is also cheaper.
   
   get the LOGITECH instead!!!!

   I bought these about five months ago to replace some nice Creative Lab stereo speakers.
   
   Pros:
   
   Stylish, strong (for its size) sub, clear sound. good(ish) for gaming.
   
   Cons:
   
   1. Sub woofer controls on the floor.
   
   2. Do not get loud. I’ve read reviews where people described these as having a good loud sound. They sound terrible when turned up loud. The volume nob only goes about half-way around its rotation before the sound turns to total garbage. This is true to varying degrees with ALL types of music and sound environments. The amp has the power, but the speakers can not handle it.
   
   3. Bad grounding issues. Plug in your headphones and expect a nasty thump or snap. Given my 180 dollar sennheisers, I don’t trust these at all.
   
   Resolutions: Don’t know… Don’t buy these. For any price. You will be disappointed if you know good sound. They look nice, but won’t fill a room.

   Gawd these are awful. Yes, these are cheap and they do look neat. I have to say that my disappointment grows month by month. I’ll admit that I’m spoiled by having a very strong home theater system which squashes these pathetic diseased banshee-speakers, but I would not recommend these to anyone.
   
   I’m afraid I can’t give any recommendation for GOOD computer speakers. It looks as though good computer speakers will cost you as much as a good low-range home theater system. If your have the room/setup for it just integrate your theater and PC sound. Otherwise just give up or by an old amp and some weak pawn shop speakers for the same price. I’ll bet you’ll be happier.

   Gave them to my brother. Now they don’t bother me any more.

   I bought these speakers with the idea of using them in the US and also take them to Europe. But when I opened the box and took the subwoofer out I saw that it requires AC 120V voltage. That restricts their usage to the US so I won’t be able to take them to overseas (unless I use a voltage converter with the waste of energy that implies). That was disappointing. In part, it is my fault for not having checked previously, but neither the product web page at Amazon.com nor the official product web page at creative.com specify anything about the required voltage.

   The speakers themselves sound great. The set includes a 17W subwoofer, that is more than enough for my needs, and two 6W satellites. Each one includes a central speaker that sounds really good and one tweeter. In my opinion the tweeters make a big difference: guitar sounds are delicious. This is a really good point for these speakers compared to the Logitech X-240, which satellites include only one 5W central speaker.

   As a summary, 5 stars for the speakers, 1 star for the lack of information. That makes the 3 stars in my review.
