I've had the original T20's for several years now, but as the drivers are the same, i am reviewing the newer version listed here.For the size of these speakers, the sound is VERY GOOD. i design and build my own speakers, so i am quite impressed with these little speakers. THe bass is tight and adequate, the mids and highs are smooth and detailed, all frequencies are represented nicely. The bass-reflex tuned ports work well, but collect dust on the top. The internal amp is also very good with more than enough power, good transient response, and low distortion. Love the seperate tone controls and power/vol pot on the front as well as the front and back inputs. They are a little top-heavy and can tip over if you're not careful though. Although i havent heard them, i would imagine the newer T40 design to sound even better with the MTM configuration, but the T20s are a very good sounding speaker for a reasonable price and small form factor. I actually use mine as completely portable speakers as well, running them off several battery packs (i have a velcro strip on the back of the powered speaker to attach a rechargeable battery back with a jack adapter to the power input). Disclaimer: They work very well off battery power, but i do not recommend doing this unless you know what you are doing with electronics, and i'm sure you would void your warranty. I use 11.1v Lipo and 12v NiMH packs from RC models, and the speakers and a battery fit perfectly in an old padded case i have, making them great-sounding small and truly portable speakers.

I use these speakers for listening to music off my laptop and they're way better than I thought they'd be. My BF likes them so much, he's getting his own set for Valentine's Day.

Speakers were fine for a while. They had decent tone and a nice look on my desk. After a year and a half of reasonable use (warranty is for 12 months), any movement in the volume knob now creates hissing and loud popping in the left speaker. Dissatisfied with spending $100 on this junk.

I bought this after getting another 2 speaker system, and returning it. That one cost about 30 bucks, and sounded like crap and you could only put them about 2.5 feet apart. You get what you pay for, this one is worth every penny. Everything about it well made, thoughtful and well done. It's a great product and it sounds amazing for it's size, and for it's price.Buy this, you can't go wrong.Note: One of the reasons I got this was because it uses a standard RCA cable to attach the two speakers, I needed them to be further apart then the included cable provided, but for 2 bucks I got a extension and the problem was solved. Most of the cheap ones have a built in cable you can't extend. Just another reason to get this one.

As usual when I start looking for something like this sight unseen, and without actually listening to them, I read many reviews. I also compare reviews of many different ones such as Bose, JBL, Altec Lansing, and others. Most of the reviewers seemed to be very impressed with these. Let me tell you, I am also very much impressed with these fabulous little speakers. These things sound great! They aren't much larger than my old Infinity units, that don't hold a candle to these. I am loving my office right now. Way to go CREATIVE!!

I get great sound from these speakers. Not the very deep, floor shaking bass you get with a subwoofer, but deep bass none the less. I am extremely please with these. I use them on my Mac Pro 2009.

I got a pair of these refurb a few years ago and they continue to perform flawlessly. Pristine highs, solid mid-range, and excellent bass response. I live in a 1000 sq ft apartment and these speakers are more than loud enough to fill the space with power to spare, and without coming close to breaking up. I use them for my TV, iPod, Computer. They're all around great!

I bought these speakers to replace a cheap set with a sub woofer. The bass from the former speakers could be heard unpleasantly all over the house which disturbed my wife and I didn't like that sound either. I bought these thinking I would sacrifice some bass but be able to play them louder. To my pleasure I have not sacrificed any bass and the mid-range is perfect for me. Allows me to play them as much as I want without disturbing anyone.I am really looking forward to running my MP3 player into them, I wonder if I could take them into other rooms with that feature. I will have to try it.In short any review under a 4 is either comparing them to regular speaker systems from a large receiver or is a suspicious review because these are as good as can get for the money and purpose.

These speakers more than met my expectations. I would have liked about 10% more bass but I have to remember they are 2.0 not 2.1. Clear clean sound and nice volume. I highly recommend these speakers.

Bought 2 sets of these - one for work and one for home. Love them both. Takes some time to "break them in" but eventually the sound smooths out and becomes rich and bold. I highly recommend them if you have the time for the "break in".

At first they were great! All the great things you've read about in all of the other great reviews. WATCH OUT FOR QUALITY though! I've lived in the same place for the last 2 years and I purchased these speakers after hours of research - looking for a speaker that had a fuller sound, was compact, and had separate adjustments for bass and treble - and they have not moved from my desk since the day I received them. Thus, they've never been dropped, they've never been listened to at a loud noise volume (one reason why I wanted the separate controls is because I have a brain condition from a car accident that means that I can't listen to deep basses nor listen to loud music). In essence, I've been the 'perfect' user.Over the past several months, the speakers have gotten quieter and quieter. Presently, this pattern has accelerated and I now have the volume knob at full blast and the computer volume settings are also on full blast. The volume is so low that I can't hear the speakers unless I'm sitting directly in front of my computer.So realizing all of this, I emailed the company.Their fixes, you ask?Buy another set of speakers from them.What?!Wow, I can't believe how poor build quality is now.Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed.I spent more money than I should have on these speakers, assuming that paying more would mean that they would last longer and have a nicer quality...I'm regretting that assumption now.I would be curious to see what others experiences have been for those users who have had these speakers for a few years.Oh! And yeah, that 1 - year limited warranty is no joke. The next speakers I'll buy will be from a place like Costco in case something like this happens again.

These speakers work quite well & replaced a 10 year old pair. Time will tell how well they hold up under normal playing. If you have a desk more than five or so feet long and want to place speakers at ends of desk, you will probably want to use an extension, as cords are not very long.

I was looking for a set of speakers with good sound, but since I live in an apartment, I didn't need something that would shake the house. These speakers do the job quite well. They have good bass sound, and are just loud enough for my needs. Easy to set up and a great price are a couple of extras. I would recommend them to friends.

Sound quality is good but volume is hard to control it either to loud or not loud enough. Don't like the big bulky power supply.

These are good speakers-- well suited to listening to music while sitting at your computer. They are not miracle boxes and cannot fill a room with sound, so do not expect them to be a substitute for bookshelf speakers.In my case, they replace a comparable set of Klipsch computer speakers that crapped out after a couple of years, and they do a good job. You can coax even better sound out of them if you are willing to play with your graphic equalizer a little bit. I listen mostly to classical music at work, and after dialing them in I am very happy with them.The price went down significantly right after I bought them, so I feel a little ripped-off price-wise, but that is what happens sometimes. They are definitely a good deal in the sub-$70 range.No judgment on durability yet, because they are new. I'll be back if there are any problems.

In terms of value per dollar these speakers IMHO sit at or near the top of the very crowded PC speaker market. Of course you're not going to get room shaking bass from a ported 3" (thereabouts...don't have the exact spec handy) driver. Instead, there is a pleasingly ripe little mid-bass bump which is entirely appropriate for these sorts of speakers. And yes, I guess the midrange is a bit recessed compared to some other PC speakers. Depending on your point of view one or the other will sound more "neutral." All speakers at this price point are a m?lange of various tradeoffs and it's here where I think these speakers deliver brilliantly; good bass/treble and low distortion that stays low with more output. If that sounds good to you then buy these speakers with confidence. I personally have not had any of the quality issues mentioned by other readers but I don't doubt them either. Another point in their favor is their tolerance (in my experience) of varying levels of line-in voltage. By that I mean you can either plug them into a motherboard's PC-out jack, a sound card or the headphone jack on a laptop and they sound great in all three situations. I've even used them plugged into a cable converter box and they can easily fill a living room with low distortion sound.All in all you will be hard pressed to find a better buy. Think twice if you want to hear Margo Timmins breath into the microphone or are leery of Creative's somewhat suspect customer service.Cheers.

I've spent several frustrating hours testing both the Bose Companion 2 Series II and Creative Gigaworks T20 series II. These are two very different sounding sets of speakers, with their own strengths and weaknesses. I am well aware of the major limitations of such small speakers, but even taking this into account neither pair is satisfactory, with both being disappointing for different reasons. I expected bass response to be an issue, but it really isn't for either, although the Bose did exhibit a small amount of distortion with some material. The problem with these speakers is with everything else!The T20s have clean, clear highs, and plenty of undistorted bass, but their midrange response is severely lacking. Vocals often seem distant and swamped by other instruments. The overall result is a bright warm sound, but with a very noticeable lack of detail and presence.The Companion IIs on the other hand are very mid-range heavy, pushing vocals right out to the front. Sometimes too much, making spoken word material sound boomy. Unfortunately Bose have managed to do something remarkable, in that the Companions II sound both muffled and bright at the same time! I attribute this to the "TrueSpace" processing, which actively changes the sound to make it seem more spacious. Whilst it does achieve this effect, it also does weird things to the dynamic range, and overall these speakers sound too forceful and not very natural. What is really amusing is that Bose put a note in the box claiming that that, unlike other manufactures, their speakers do not introduce artificial effects to make the speakers sound more pleasing ( I kid you not!).OK, so on the positive side, The T20s have tone controls which allow one to tweak the sound to a certain extent (but they don't fix the mid-range problem). The Bose `s dynamic compression make them sound better at very low volume levels, and so would probably sound OK if you just want quiet background music whilst you are working, or of you plan to use them in an environment with a lot of background noise. Oh, and it would appear that Bose have taken note of peoples comments about the lack of a power button. The volume control now has an off position!Neither the T20s nor Companion IIs are deserving of their high recommended retail prices. They really should always be priced under one hundred dollars.I'll be returning both sets tomorrow. My search continues :-(

I got these on Tuesday and I am returning them on Friday. Some of the reviews were mixed, but I just wanted "decent" speakers for under $100. There is nothing decent about these. The mid-range is not "bad", it is none existent. They sound like tin. The free speakers with most computers are not much worse than these. I have purchased in the past M-Audio speakers for about $100 which blow me away, but I needed something smaller for a new space. Not sure what I will get. Do NOT buy these if you have any kind of discerning ear.

I agree with others who have complimented the bass and treble and been disappointed by the midrange. The bass is thumping but you can totally lose vocals especially at high volumes. That said, overall I was pleased with the sound from these. You would believe they were 2.1 rather than 2.0.My complaint is with the customer service. There is a loud clicking noise when you turn these on and off (by twisting the volume nob to and from the off position). It sounds like some switch is being flipped. The off-click on my speakers has always been there, but the on-click became very fickle, and eventually totally stopped. For a while if I tried long enough eventually I would get an on-click, but now it has stopped entirely. And the speakers only turn on if there is a click. They became totally useless after 5 or so months.So I tried to get them serviced via Creative's website (too late to return to the store). Unfortunately they make it extremely difficult to even contact customer service. You have to enter your product information (including date of purchase) to be able to contact the service department at all. I fortunately had my receipt, but I was repeatedly told that my information was invalid (I did this many times--this was not a typo). Of course they would not let me contact them to tell them that my product information was not being accepted.The warranty is now up, and I am sick of trying to resuscitate these speakers. Upgrading to Logitech Z623's. I doubt I will buy from Creative again in the future. Great if they work, otherwise don't be surprised if you are SOL.
