This is the purchase of the year so far! I read all the reviews and researched each choice, for the price this set had the best comments and ratings! I totally agree and thank you to everyone that posted in the reviews prior! This little set is absolutely incredible! The sound and bass are unbelievable. I consider myself to be a bit picky and rather sensitive to the quality sound a speaker produces and I give the bad boys a two thumbs up! You would never know it is coming from something so small, and the sub produces a serious amount of thump and deep thick quality sound. There is no rattle or tinny noise you would normally get, and I couldn't even come close to turning them all the way up without it being way to much for my apartment!My friend stopped by and I flicked on my iPhone with a nice thumping song and he was astonished at the volume and quality and then I had to point them out for him to be able to find the little speakers sitting out in the open. It was a little confusing on the connecting to multiple devices and the instructions come in two different sheets with like 8 languages. The setup is self explanatory, however I recommend finding and reading the install sheet several times before you start and forget about any other devices until you have done your laptop or computer if you plan on using it with one of those, otherwise you don't need the dongle which DOES come with it so DON'T buy the second one! They sold it to me and I was supposed to get the price taken off at check-out as part of promo but that didn't happen and I didn't need it anyway!Still it is a terrific little set and a great value considering the other choices!

All of the photographs for the Creative Inspire S2 Bluetooth Wireless Multimedia Speaker System show the speakers without any wires at all. However, there are indeed wires, two about five feet long connecting each little speaker to the subwoofer plus a two-part electricity supply cord with a power adapter for the subwoofer. "Wireless" refers only to the audio transmission from the computer to the speaker system which is accomplished by a Bluetooth USB dongle. The permanently-attached wire from the subwoofer to the right speaker (where most of the controls are) is very thick: one-quarter of an inch in diameter, like a heavy-duty extension cord. However, I was not expecting them to function magically and I do prefer wires to batteries.The system was very easy to set up even without reading the instructions. The only issues I had were finding the USB Bluetooth dongle (which was in a little box of its own inside another box with the wires in the main box, which was itself sent in a shipping carton) and also figuring out that the system sound settings on the computer have to be changed to output to these external speakers rather than the built-in speakers. (I am used to just plugging in headphones or my bookshelf speakers without having to change any software settings.) Other than these minor issues, there were no problems at all getting the speakers up and running, even with my older Mac laptop. The blue LED lights signal everything is working fine and the Bluetooth transmission functions perfectly up to the twenty feet or so over which I tested it.There is a bass control on the back of the subwoofer plus an on-off button, volume controls, and headphone-out and audio-in ports on the right speaker. The volume controls on the speaker change the software volume setting on the computer so it can be adjusted either way. There is also a button on the Bluetooth dongle that will stop the sound immediately.I have to keep these speakers on low volume and the bass turned almost all the way down because I don't like loud music, especially bass, and I live in an apartment with neighbors. I was truly shocked at how loud these little speakers are and how much vibration the subwoofer can make. At reasonable volumes, the sound quality is very nice.Besides the presence of wires on a system that is described and depicted as wireless, my only complaint is that the speakers are white and angled with rounded edges while the subwoofer is black and more of a cube with sharp right angles and fat feet so aesthetically they don't seem to have been designed as a set--although they are certainly attractive considered separately. The little speakers remind me of the space ship in "2001: A Space Odyssey" while the subwoofer makes me think of the alien monolith.

I tried this on my HTPC. I set up the connected right speaker and subwoofer, and connected the left speaker using an RCA jack (with an extension cable I provided). I was surprised that it is not completely wireless: The wireless component is only between the music source (computer) and the speakers. I plugged the AC adapter in. Next, I plugged in the USB BT dongle onto one of the rear USB connectors on the computer. Windows automatically installed the driver for this dongle, and a blue light on the right speaker lit up (the speakers are now wirelessly connected). The whole speaker system was set up within minutes of unboxing.The sound quality is very good, and a lot better than I anticipated. The bass is decent though a bit lacking for my taste, and rather more punchy than deep. I read somewhere that the subwoofer does not play frequencies lower than 40 Hz (?), which would deliver the deep bass response. I've lost the bluetooth connection a handful of times while watching HD movies, but enough times to remember that the BT connection can be a bit buggy.This looks a lot better than the older beige speaker system I had previously (which is now sitting on the curb). It occupies a small space, especially with the subwoofer hidden underneath the desk and not taking up precious desktop real estate.I did not try to pair this with other bluetooth devices, since I will be using it only on my HTPC. I have a jambox that connects to my iPhone and iPad, and other BT-enabled music sources. I may try this on an older iPod Touch, just to see how it pairs. I am hoping that the dropped BT connection is limited to my experience, but having read a few other reviews it seems that it is not an isolated incident.Overall, a very good bluetooth-connected sound system, if the wireless connection sticks.Disclaimer: As noted above, I received this product through the Vine program in exchange for an objective and impartial review.

The speaker(along with the woofer) is good enough for a medium sized room. I think it was as good as the Bose companion 2 speakers.Further it was better than bose because it has its own woofer to cover the lows.But or Butttt pain is that the main chord that joins the right speaker to the Woofer came loose after about 28 days. When i press the chord into the woofer on the back the woofer would work and as soon as i release it, it goes off. So had to return it. I don't know if I should exchange or go find something else.I refunded it to TigerDirect. They refunded just the price of the product to my card. Shipping charge was not refunded. So I paid 8 $ for the product that i dont have. :(Also disappointed that the usb/dongle for wireless playing did not come with the set. Only amazon sells it it seems for around $40.

These speakers sound okay for just listening to music or what have you but the problem is with the Bluetooth. They were a little difficult to get synched up in the initial installation but once that was done they remained in synch. The problem is that the audio skips. I can be listening to music online and the music skips for a solid 45 seconds. I tested it to make sure that the internet streaming was not the issue by playing a song that was on my hard drive during the skipping and it also skipped. Its very annoying when it does it about 3 times an hour. So I decided to return these wireless speakers which technically aren't completely wireless and get a wired pair. I hope I have better success with them.

Out of the box, I knew I'd like these. The packaging is very nice and secure. The easy set up manual leaves no question unanswered--the thing sets itself up (I use a Vista program on my Dell PC, and iTunes for my music).I have wanted speakers in my kitchen, but didn't want wires all over the place. This took care of that problem in 10 minutes. So, a quick set up--1) unbox everything2) hook up all the speaker parts (wires from the bass to the right, from the left to the bass)3) plug the speakers into an outlet in the same general vicinity to the computer4) plug in the USB bluetooth device into an available USB outlet (I use a hub on top of my computer tower for all of my bluetooth USBs) *at this point, the blue light will flash on the USB. It is setting itself up. Do NOTHING. The directions say that it should activate a dialogue box on your computer--mine did not. I had no visual indicator of the success of setup*5) turn them "up" and listen to be sure it paired properly.6) move the speakers into the room you want them (mine is through two walls into the kitchen, and has other bluetooth devices to deal with, plus a wireless phone, wifi system, etc. but so far so good)7) after you move it, it might take a few seconds to "find" it again, but it will...just turn on iTunes and listen away.*if you find that no music is played, go to your START button, then to CONTROL PANEL, then to HARDWARE & SOUND (NOT view devices and printers), then to SOUND (click on MANAGE AUDIO DEVICES). All of your sound outputs will be there. Find the new speakers and set them (Creative Bluetooth Audio D1) as your default. (You can rename them, too. I renamed mine "bluetooth speakers".As far as sound quality, they are decent. Not Bose, and not 9.1 DTS, but you're not going to get that quality for this price. But decent. If you have a conflict, they can be fuzzy--just move them to another spot in the room. (I moved mine to the top of the china cabinet.) I was looking for quiet background type music speakers for my blues/jazz during dinner, and these were perfect.

I'm a medical transcriptionst, and I work from home. Since I'm alone during the day when I'm working, I choose to play the voice files through my speakers rather than use headphones all the time. These speakers were fairly priced and deliver as expected. They don't distort the sound, and they don't sound tinny. After looking at many other speakers in all price ranges, I settled on these because of the classic shape, the price, and the reviews. I'm not an audiophile and I don't use these for music or anything other than work. I don't regret this purchase and would recommend this set to anyone who needs a decent set of speakers at an affordable price.

I was a little leery that these speakers would not perform as well as my wired speakers. I have to admit that I was very pleasantly surprised by the rich, full sound of these speakers. As a result, my wired computer speakers are waiting to be sold at our next garage sale.A few things you should be aware of:· These speakers can apparently only be used on a computer. I hoped I could plug the transmitter into a USB port on my TV and use the speakers to amplify and improve the sound of my TV. The speakers did not work when plugged into my TV.· The transmitter must be plugged into a USB port. You obviously need to have a free port to use these speakers.· Although there is no wire running from the computer to the speakers, there is approximately six feet of wire that runs between the speakers and the sub woofer. As a result, you are limited as to where you can place the speakers.· The speakers require an electrical outlet.· Computer controls (including "mute") have no effect on the volume. Speaker volume is only controlled by (+) (-) buttons on the left speaker. This can be very inconvenient.· Although the speakers have an on/off button, every time I turn the speakers off I have to reset the system (unplug the transmitter from USB jack, and then plug it back in) to get the speakers to work. I'm not sure if this is by design or if I received a defective product.

Hiya,Decided to rewrite this review.THE GOOD -- these speakers sound MUCH better than their small size. Perfect for smaller rooms or nearby travel even.THE BAD -- there are more wires than you'd expect, but it's better than having batteries in everything. Or a recharging unit that dies.THE UGLY -- the included directions to these speakers were printed in 2009. This means nowhere in or outside of the box do you get the following CRITICAL directions on how to wireless set up your iPhone or iPad --a. find the power button on the white speaker and turn speakers off. You know they're off because there's no green light on the front of the speaker (center bottom)b. with speakers still off, lean on plus volume button and wait for a blue light to flash (where the green one was)c. at this point (on Apple devices) go to GENERAL > SETTINGS > BLUETOOTH > TURN ON (if not on) > WAIT > WATCH INSPIRE APPEAR IN DISCOVERABLE > SELECT (by clicking center of said bar, not the right hand thingee) > enter in FOUR ZEROSNone of what I just posted is anywhere on the package. Or on the Creative Website. Or is there any way to call Creative. Until they post said directions on their site, I'm treating these four star speakers as three, because I know most people will never find these directions until after HOURS of fury and frustration.

PROS: Easy to set up. All I had to do was plug the included Bluetooth wireless device into a USB on my Toshiba Windows 7 netbook. Soon I had the pleasure of listening to Youtube videos and my iTunes library through a thumping subwoofer and two speakers.If you don't expect BOSE quality-like sound, a decent set of speakers for the price. At high levels the sound does get a little tinny, but still represents a major improvement over the sound of the typical speakers provided with a PC. The set is particularly useful if you're throwing a party in your small apartment and want to use your iTunes library as the source.CONS:The title of the product is misleading. It is not a true "wireless" device in the sense that the subwoofer and speaker are wired and have to be plugged into an outlet. However, I didn't mind this as many truly "wireless" devices often require batteries or have to be recharged at some point.Do we need such a big fat subwoofer/speaker? It looks weird being sandwiched between two little ones. The trio takes up a lot of space and is awkward to store. I would rather have had two moderately-sized speakers with good bass. Also, the right speaker is permanently wired to the back of the subwoofer, while the left one is detachable. I would have preferred two detachable speakers.The instructions are poorly laid out. Instead of having one or two manuals (i.e., one for a quick set-up, one with more detail), the manufacturer chose to scatter the instructions across several small booklets. One had a diagram showing how to connect it with an analog connection while another little booklet showed you how to connect wirelessly. Yet another listed the customary safety warnings and warranty. A waste of paper.

I had problems at first pairing this speaker system up with my iPhone. First of all, pairing devices to these speakers is not ideal. The instructions are printed in very small font, get out your magnifying glass. If you have more than one Bluetooth device paired to your iPhone/iPod etc. it won't work, you have to unpair the other thing first. Once I finally got it, and used it a few times, I realized that these speakers were making my iPhone's audio and sounds turn off. I had to do a hard reset of my iPhone in order to get it to work again. That means no audio on my phone worked, and I couldn't hear my phone ring (because it couldn't!) because of this glitch. Once I used the speakers, I thought, successfully, but then I put my iPhone on its charging dock and it makes a sound, and I didn't hear the sound. Sure enough, I had to reset my phone three times before it was back to normal. That was the last straw with using my iPhone and these speakers together.On to the next victim. I put the speakers up in my daughter's room for her to use with her iPod Touch. The set up in there is more ideal, with shelves and places to put the little speakers. I do wish the cord for the speakers was longer. I believe the cords are 6' long, but 8' would be better. Plus the cords attaching the speakers to the subwoofer is really bulky, not small at all. The speakers sound great, but it's sort of a deal to get the music going. The audio on my daughter's iPod didn't get affected, so at least we can use these speakers somewhere.

These little speakers sound great, I bought them to have on the patio for get-togethers...very easy to set up, and they are loud enough to hear over the pool waterfall, and they are at least 30 feet away from the pool. They don't play well through the exterior wall, I had them hooked up to my pc in the living room, and put the speakers just outside the patio door, and they cut out, so I just use my smartphone and play the Pandora app. They connect easily to any bluetooth device, or you can hard wire them by plugging into the jack on the side of one speaker. To connect to your bluetooth device, turn the speakers off, then hold the volume up button for 2 seconds and the light on the front of the speaker flashes blue, then sync using the code 0000. I turn the speakers all the way up and use the volume control on my samsung epic smart phone. Don't forget about the base control on the back of the woofer, I have it about half way up. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because I did think they should be able to play through the exterior wall, the speakers were set only 10 feet away from my pc, with two large windows which should have made it easier for the connection, but they cut out.

These speakers coupled with the small USB Bluetooth adapter included with them are a steal. The sound is very full even though the satellites are barely 4" x 3" (10cm x 7.5cm). I use them with my laptop in my bedroom, and found they're awesome for music or even streamed movies or even Blurays - audio sync is spot on, the bass is powerful, and the tonal quality is very impressive, IMHO, and fills a decent size room. I keep the subwoofer volume knob in the middle of it's range is it does get a bit muddy at higher volume levels if you crank it, likely because it weighs barely 3 pounds. Appearance-wise, Creative did a great job with these - the grills are of quality fabric, and on mine were applied flawlessly - no wrinkles, pulled thread, etc. The cabinets are plastic (or plastic-laminated wood for the subwoofer) but are very high quality. I've paid (much) more for less.I also found that the Bluetooth adapter (that requires no drivers, at least under Win 7) will link to Bluetooth headphones, which is a nice bonus. And of course, the speakers work fine with Bluetooth devices like my Fascinate.That said, they do have a few weaknesses. First the obvious: these are not meant to supplement your 55" TV in a 600 square foot room - they're "bedroom/office" speakers, and while they could damage your hearing from 4' away before the sound starts to deteriorate, they won't replace the need for a full stereo in a large room. Second, the tiny satellites are obviously not full-range -- they give minimal bass output. Fortunately the subwoofer (perhaps more correctly, the "woofer") more than makes up for this, but this means you need to place the subwoofer such that it is directed towards you, and not on a corner on the floor. Almost as if to force this, the cable between the right speaker and subwoofer is a proprietary cable (allowing the controls to be on the satellite, while the amp is in the sub) and is only ~ 5'8" (1.75m) long. Last (and least) of the issues is that the subwoofer volume control is a knob and not a button, so it can't be adjusted through Bluetooth - it must be done manually. Again, not a big deal, as odds are you'll set it once and never touch it again, but it's there.BTW, I've had my set for over 8 months, and have no regrets!

Bought it on Christmas Eve. Price has gone up and down but not as low as when I bought it. Great sound. No chance for motherboard cross talk and other interference or distortion like a hissing when volume is low.Takes some fiddling with pairing to get sound. Green light when on and not paired, blue when paired and connected. Was green when I first plugged it in and the blue tooth dongle. Came with the blue tooth dongle which was one of the reason I bought it. Also you have to change playback device by right clicking on the speaker icon at the status tray.Has three buttons. +(plus), -(minus), and power. Using the volume button changes the Windows main volume. The lowest seems to be 2% or 3% which can still be very loud. Not sure how loud it can go. It's already very loud at very low setting. Next to buttons are a Head Phone and an Auxiliary In port. Good for head phone and other non blue tooth sound devices. The problem is if you use a head phone and mic.These speakers can be paired with other blue tooth devices. A pin code found on the manual must be entered. It can be clumsy to switch between two devices though. You have to pair to the blue tooth dongle again.There are no drivers needed which can be good or bad. There are also no software too. So there are no control panel to connect, pair with name of the device, or disconnect like you do on smart phones.The speakers are good quality. Made of some type of ceramic. It's small, smaller than the cheap speakers the it replaced. The right speaker is hardwired to the sub woofer and can be tricky to position on your desk. The sub woofer seems to be made of wood and have feet so it is not sitting on the floor. It's about an inch off the floor.

Pros:Connection quality is reliable, sound doesn't suffer from the wireless layer. Works with the dedicated BT-D1 as well as with built-in bluetooth from smartphone or laptop.Sound of the speakers is balanced and very good considering the entry level price.Build quality is good.Cons: They omitted the connection button, not smart for a wireless speaker. Gotta use a on/off + volume combination now to establish a new connection.These are neither Bose nor Bang & Olufsen but you definitely get what you expect and then some.

I am a very picky person with audio. I never before bought audio online without having listened to a dozen or more products in a store before choosing just the right one. I took a plunge this time and clicked. When the package arrived and I opened it, I saw the tiny size of the speakers and though "this is why I don't buy audio online". I set them up, tested them and WOW!!!! These speakers produce a deep rich bass and clear / crisp highs. This was a leap of faith order and I couldn't be happier. If you are a fussy audio buff like me, have no worries - this audio package does not disappoint. The set up was a snap too.

Granted, my other set of "computer speakers" are a set of M-Audio powered studio monitors, but they cost about the same as this and have *much* better sound reproduction. There's no reason for speakers this expensive to sound so mediocre.Basically, the only reason to get this is the Bluetooth capability, and it doesn't even work very well with my MacBook Pro running Mac OS Lion. The problem is that the Bluetooth connection drops after a while of inactivity, and then next time I go to play music, the Mac whines it can't talk to the speakers and I have to re-pair them again by pressing the button on the side of the right speaker. Maybe this works better on a PC with Creative's own Bluetooth dongle, but for my situation, I really can't recommend it. The whole point was to avoid having to plug / unplug my Macbook to my speakers every time I put it into lozenge mode on my desk, and having to reach up and hit the pairing button every ten minutes or so is hardly less intrusive than simply plugging in the speaker plug into the side of the Macbook.

Hi,I purchased the Creative Bluetooth speaker system to use in my college dorm. Acording to the product description, the speakers are quite small and they are. Set up has never been so easy. All I had to do is simply plug in the included USB adapter, and the speakers instantly began playing. At first, the speakers sounded as if they did not output any base. When glancing through the enhancements for these speakers, I noticed there was an option that said Bass Boost. I checked that option along with loudness equalization, virtual surround, and room correction. The second time that music came through the speakers, it definitely sounded a lot louder. Bass response is average for a speaker system of this size. At college though, I didn't want to make my neighbors across the hall irritated. So far, so good. It is my ultimate dream, set the speakers near my bed and have a wireless keyboard. No need to see the screen, as I am blind. I didn't have anyone sighted to help me hook this system up either. The main reason for me not rating this item with 5 stars is that the bass response isn't that good, and I don't actually know how far I can set the speakers away from the transmitter, and still hear sound clearly. Overall, Creative has done an excellent job with this set of speakers. I wish they would have added a port for an audio out connection in case the transmitter stops working. Do any of you know if there is one on the speaker system? Anyway, I think it was a great purchase, and look forward to listening! Oh yeah, one more feature I enjoy is the touch volume controls! If you are looking for a nice pair of speakers with bass, try Bose or Logetech's Z623.

Purchased these speakers a little over a year ago. They quit working recently and wasn't able to get support for these speakers. The speaker BT/wireless connection quit working and they won't stand behind their product. I would have to pay for repair or take a 10% coupon off some other speaker system. This is crap, the sound quality wasn't that great. I thought they would be good for the price and the fact they were wireless. POS! Don't buy!

Exciting Reviews couldn't wait for them to arrive. Then like a kid on Christmas morning I couldn't wait to be consumed by these tiny but great sounding speakers (According to some very misleading reviews). What a DISSAPOINTMENT! Holy cow these things don't even approach mediocrity. Trust me this is not the sound you are looking for. I've got a pair of speakers that came with an old HP desktop that sound much better than these over priced, disappointingly bland bookends. I am a fan of SoundBlaster products but these need to be renamed to Creative UNINSPIRED!I listened for a couple of hours just unable to comprehend that these things wouldn't finaly breakin and suddenly or even gradually sound better... It ain't happening'... and these "speakers" ain't happening' either. Total trashy sound... do not buy at any price over 5 bucks because that's what they sound like, a pair of muddy K-Mart blue light special 5 buck speakers. What a waster of my money.
