Creative SBS 380 2.1 Speakers

These are good speakers for the price. This time, I found the price on Amazon even less than Ebay. So, if you have tight budget like me, go for it. The competetion for me was between logitech R20 which are still cheaper. I am traditionally a logitech fan but i saw some bad comments on Amazon for R20 so I went with these.I have a good home theater system and expensive Klipsch 2.1 speakers. These speakers are far less quality than them. But then I remember that I paid hundreds for them and these are less than $30.The speaker clarity is acceptable. The Bass is little too hi than I require and there is no control for that. But there is a neat master switch and volume control on right speaker. My Klipsch speakers has master switch on the sub-woofer which makes it tough to operate. But, although cheap priced, creative has not made such dumb mistakes. The volume is good for a small room. If you are not a gamer or listen to music on your pc these speakers will serve you well. Note that I am using these speakers only 2 months and I hope they take me at least one more year.

I bought these speakers thinking that the bad reviews were probably just that--bad reviews. Unfortunately they turned out to be spot on. There is way too much muddy sounding bass produced by the subwoofer, and there is no way to reduce it except by using an equalizer such as through Itunes. And the satellite speakers, besides sounding tinny, produced very little sound. With everything turned to max that could be maxed, the volume was moderate--forget about cranking it up a bit for a song that you like. In this case you really do get what you pay for.

There isnt enough power to drive the powerful sound that is desired from this 2.1 system. There is much left to be desired with the low bass notes as well as the mids and trebles as they only sound good with an optimal volume and song type. The subwoofer adds almost no additional elements for appreciation

I was looking for a cheap yet decent sounding pair of speakers and came accross the rave reviews for this one, so I decided to try them.For some reason, the sound cut out in my right speaker occasionally. I fiddle with the plug and it works fine, and it works fine listening to it over ear phones. Strange little hiccup! I am cheap and don't want to pay or wait for a replacement, so I deal.The sound quality is clear, and the price can't be beat.

These speakers were really just a whim, plus I needed to add a few bucks for free shipping with another item from Amazon - in Hawaii we love Amazon's free shipping! They had to fit in my desk cubbyholes. The originals I was using were really tinny, but as I only use sound for internet stuff and occasional CD music I don't care much. If I want to seriously listen to music or see a film I have a decent home theater system. There is some justification to the complains of too much bass (and no balance controls) which I solved by stuffing the tube in the subwoofer with part of a duster pad (cut to size). For the price and size I'm happy as a pig in slop with these.

Realized my pair of reliable harmon kardons at work were dead mid day dec 28th, and looked on amazon for a set of speakers that are at least upto par with the previous. didnt' really want to spend too much money so this set seemed like the best in the price range. There's even a rebate for 10 bucks (which I will hopefully get). I placed the order with regular shipping and amazon estimated delivery Jan 4-8, but when I came home on the 29th it had already been delivered!This is by far the best shipping I've gotten from amazon, and they have been pretty good in the past too. Save money and use regular shipping, its' "hella fast"!These speakers are pretty good. I doubt you can find anything else with this quality for the same price. I can safely say, these speakers are almost as good as the $[...]+ harmon kardon speakers I had before.

It is not great but enough for laptop. If you want to turn on the music and go to kitchen to wash the dishes it may not be enough though. But if you think of the price, that is more or less what you would expect.

It is not good enough. There is only one volume control, no bass control.I am kind of not satisfy with the bass effect.
