I have done extensive research on numerous computer speakers, everything from the simple 2.0 to 5.1 surround sound configurations for the past 6 months. I ended buying these Gigaworks Series II 2.0 speakers. Why? Because I couldn't have spent my $100 on anything else better.Delicated tweeters for your high notes, midrange drivers for your mids, and the BasXport on top of the speakers for them lows, and all in a small 2.0 system! A lot of speakers do not allow the user to adjust their treble and bass, these do. Not a bass person? Dial it down to 0 and turn up the treble, or max out on both and anything in between. That's what the dials are there for, because not everyone is content with preset one-off factory settings.There are users who complaint about the bright blue light glaring at them when it is on, I don't think it is that bad unless you are sleeping with them on. Some users also said that the speakers don't do too well at high volumes, as in the sound start to become unclear/muffled. I say it is true somewhat, just try not to turn it up past 75% and you should be good. Even at that level it is loud enough to be heard in my entire house, you're not running a nightclub in your house afterall.

I wanted 2.0 speakers for travel. I am dissappointed with the sound quality and volume. I do not know if it is possible to make a speaker with better sound in a compact case. Perhaps they would sound better with a larger speaker in a square case with less depth.I would not buy these for home use. I have heard the "Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 200-Watt 2.1 Speaker System" which would be excellent for home use.

Just got these today and I'm totally amazed. These things have awesome dynamic range and the bass is very crisp and clear. I listen to a lot of 'hard to reproduce accurately' classical music and these speakers did a great job of reproducing the sound quality. I could hear things I just haven't been able to hear on most other speakers.My gold standards to test with are Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla and Chorovaya Akademia's Ancient Echo's for starters and they came through very nicely.Highly recommended.

Creative Labs GigaWorks T20 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort TechnologyI purchased these speakers for my wife so she could listen to and watch a portable DVD player in the kitchen while she prepares food (the built in speakers on the DVD player were tinny and no depth of sound). I just received the Creative 2.0 speakers this morning from FedEX and we were both blown away with the sound quality of the speakers. They have a nice response through the entire frequency spectrum and they do have punch and plenty of volume with no noticeable distortion for this setup. I encountered a little problem initially when I hooked the cable coming from the ear phone jack on the DVD player to the Audio Input in the back of the speaker and got terrible humming distortion. Then I read the instructions and moved the plug to the correct location, the Aux Input on the front of the speakers and it works perfectly. The Audio Input in the back is for an analog input source. I highly recommend these speakers for using with any portable device such as DVD player, iPod, laptop, etc. They are not battery powered so you need to have an outlet nearby.

I researched these online as speakers for my desktop and an analog turtable that I use to digitize vinyl. They are great. They fill the room with sound at 2/3 max volume with no distortion. I also chose them because they have separate base and treble controls.

Best small computer speaker in the market hands down.I purchased this on Feb 8th in Best Buy in Iselin N.J. with my new H.P.! These babes really shine WHEN properly Equalized with Windows Player E.Q.! My second option was Klipsh 2.1 w/extra bass, but I really preferred these two speakers. Very well made Glossy Black!

I bought these for use with a desktop MacPro; I occasionally use them for music, sometimes for spoken word, usually just for "system sounds". They have functioned very well in that role. I have not "stressed" them by attempting to play loud or intricate music/sounds, so cannot comment on their upper limit of fidelity.

These speakers were the best alternative to improve the lousy sound on our 22" Samsung LCD flat screen TV set. My alternative consideration was Bose Companion bookshelf speakers, which were less expensive, but didn't have an ON/OFF switch and it would have been very inconvenient to unplug the Bose speakers when I wanted them turned off.It was extremely easy to connect the Creative speakers to the TV, just plug the cord that was provided with the speakers into the TV's earphone jack, and the sound was excellent.

I searched all over the web for speakers for my netbook. I wanted a real stereo sound. After about three weeks of searching and comparing reviews I purchased my set of T20's from amazon.com for the incredible price of $80.00. Set up was super simple around 10 min from opening the box to set up. Went to my favorite music sight, set up the volume and base how I enjoy it, and WOW...crystal clear music, great highs and outstanding base. The music filled my whole condo which I was impressed with. In my oponion Creative Gigaworks puts out exactly what they say, Outstanding speakers at a very good price. I'm more than sure this wont be my last purchase from them.

Pleasantly surprised by these speakers. After reading so many positive reviews I can say I am most definitely not disappointed. Very powerful speakers for the price and the size, and the sound in fact gets better the more you crank up the volume. Exactly how it always should be!I do have a gripe - connecting my headphones into these 2.0 speakers results in a surprisingly noticeable drop in audio quality and definition. I cannot blame the headphones though, since the audio quality plugging the same set in was fantastic using my old - and awesome - Creative 2.1 system.In any case, these speakers majorly kick butt. From Michael Jackson to Metallica, these puppies hit the high and low spots beautifully, even without the subwoofer. I tried these against the Bose Companion 2 Series II and can say confidently - go for these instead.

It seems that I've read a lot about this product and a lot of the problems seemed to be regarding a cracking sound. The sound quality is great for a sub-less 2.0, however after purchasing one then getting a replacement, the cracking sound persists. After playing a few types of music, the cracking sound seems to persist at the 11 o'clock position at about 40% volume with mostly rock and techno music. If you are primarily a rock/techno listener, please beware!

I am honestly surprised Creative Labs doesn't seem to be making 7.1 speaker sets anymore (unless I missed something?). That being said- this speaker set is one of the best things they have ever done. With Blu Ray drives being available for computers- and many titles supporting 7.1 audio- I am really surprised nobody has taken up the slack.If you are into movies or video games- these are some of the best speakers to buy- hands down. FPS titles especially- it makes a world of difference to know exactly where someone/something is coming at you based on sound alone.

These speakers stopped working after four months -- sound just stopped coming out of them. Clearly under the warranty period, I contacted Creative and received no response.

These speakers are an excellent value. I was going to get the BOSE 2.0 computer speakers but opted for these and am very glad I did. They sound just as good (if not better) than the BOSE and are louder. Overall an excellet pair of speakers at a reasonable price.

Replaced my Bose Companion set with this (main subwoofer unit died) and chose it mostly for the price point. Decent sound but definitely not on par with the Bose in terms of quality. Good value for the price.

The speakers look nice. They sound better than the freebies that came with my system but the sound quality will not be enough for a discerning ear. I'd be happy with these speakers at $50.

I bought these for my brother to use with his new Sharp Aquos lcd tv as it (the tv) is a fantastic tv but does not have a headphone plug-in. These speakers plug directly into the tv's audio out then plug your headphone into the speakers. They were easy to set-up, sound great, and solved his problem. I am now ordering second set for my pc to listen to my music library while surfing the net.

As a bonus, I can play my iPod music thru the speakers directly and bring it outside or where ever and enjoy the music with great sound. They have great base and great quality sound even at the loader end of the spectrum.

I was looking to replace my aging Logitech PC Speakers, so I tried these, they have tons of Bass, the the clear tones sound very Tinny. The Bass overpowers the Trebile. Cool Style, but sound is the deal breaker on any speakers.

This system replaced a Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 (original/not Ultra) system. The Klipsch system died (for the second time), and I used the warranty money to purchase this Creative system.I actually only wanted a 5.1 system, but could not find a product I liked more (summer of 2006). I considered the Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System (I think), but I liked how the Creatives had separate tweeter and mid-range drivers (though I don't know enough to know if that makes a big difference). I also didn't like how the Logitechs looked, but I think the Creatives are pretty uninspired there, too.Everything, including the stands, is made out of plastic, but in some cases it feels really good, like how the grills slide out of place.The remote/control pod is boring. I miss the analog-ish knob of the Klipsh remote: the Creative remote makes you mash the buttons for quick changes in volume. The volume-level indicator is also in discrete increments, but depending on the volume being adjusted (main, center, side, sub, treble), each LED level indicator might have several levels with in it, which are not shown. (That is, the indicator light might take a dozen presses to add a new light, even though the volume is increasing with each press.)The upmix feature was a nice surprise, though, so I could get sound out of all the speakers with only a 5.1 sound card. I have no idea how well the propriety "M-Port" works.A total negative: The multi-channel that came with the system was only a 3-4 and not a 4-4, so one end didn't have the gray plug. wtf is that, Creative?It would also be nice if the system had a battery to save my volume settings (from the control pod) so I could flip the switch on my surge suppressor without losing them.One of the dust caps on a tweeter in a satellite came with a dent in it. I spoke with a customer service person and they said it would not affect the sound and so I did not push for a replacement.In retrospect, I probably would've purchased the Logitech system instead. I think it's volume knob, song-display, and wireless rear satellites win me over.
