This improved it immensely. Bought because our kitchen TV built in sound was anemic.
It is a great investment. Much better deal. The sub is small and the bass distorts. Buy these and you're out $25, and you still have to get new ones. The satellite speakers crack with high pitched sounds and sound terrible without the sub. I bought these speakers at the local store because of the price.
But these are just awful. Spend the extra money on the sound for your music. They are really terrible. Spend $80 and get the Boston Acoustics Horizon MM226 2.1. I have said my peace. I have owned cheap desktop speakers before, by Logitech, and thought they worked fine for the money.
There is also no control over bass level.
The 14 watts is much better than most other speakers that sell in this price range and the subwoofer really does enhance the sound. They get quite loud with a nice rich sound.
I liked them so much, I bought an extra set a couple of weeks later. Friends walk in a room I have them playing on and they can't believe I bought them for under twenty dollars.
I'm not an audiophile and I am on a strict budget; otherwise, I doubt I'd be buying twenty dollar speakers (I actually paid fifteen). No, the speakers might not do for an outdoor party and yes, if you turn the volume on the speaker and on all your computer volume controls all the way up, you might get some distortion, but if you treat these speakers reasonably, they do just fine.
I've had these speakers for four months and haven't had a problem out of them. These speakers are better than speakers that come with the typical desktop computer or laptop.
I love jazz and americana and the sound coming from these guys is just fine by me.
The bass is remarkable from such a small set of speakers, and the aural placement of the music, or whatever, is tight and natural.I doubt they would adequately fill a large dance hall with sound, but they will sure raise the intelligence of the sound for your computer.I also have these on my desktop.You can't go wrong. Regardless of the make, I have never heard decent sound from a notebook computer.For around $20 that can be rectified.
I listen to music as I work on the computer, and I don't play games, so the sound quality is just fine for that.The only problem I've experienced is a spontaneous buzz from the woofer, whether I'm using the speakers or not. It sounds good, which is all I ask from it. It's not a big problem, just an annoyance. I was looking for a speaker set with a box woofer, so I could set my monitor on top of it; plus, I don't have a lot of acreage on my desk (table, actually). This system fit the bill.
