Not too shabby for the price

Pros: 7.1 surround sound!

Cons: Speakers blow easily

Review: I thought these were the greatest when I first bought them, but they do blow easily. If you don't turn them up too loud they sound pretty good. I had some troubles with the sound "echoing", but I also didn't have them spread out how they should be. I'm going to buy another set and not turn them up all the way this time

Very Nice. Great for small room entertainment system.

Pros: good design. Remote volume control, headset, aux input

Cons: Subwoofer weaker than I like.

Review: Best PC line speakers I've owned yet. IMO the Creative DDTS-100 is a must for these speakers. The combined units are incredible, music in DTS NEO:6 is only beat my true multi-channel audio. Plus, moving the decoding of the audio out of the PC seams to improve the "crispness" of the sounds. I say the subwoofer is weaker than I like because I'm use to duel 12" woofers on my main entertainment system or the duel 10" woofers in the car, that have a more solid or "felt" hit to them. Note: I have no 7.1 devices for these speakers so I use the 5.1>7.1 upmix for gaming with analog outputs from the Audigy Platnium. The rest of the time the digital audio or AC3 is sent to the DDTS-100 which is then sent though the 6.1>7.1 upmix.

Great for gaming and movies, but they won't replace your stereo.

Pros: 7.1 in all it's glory! Great sound that puts you in the middle of the action. Lots of base and plenty of volume for the medium sized room. The little volume control comes in handy.

Cons: You still need some quality Stereo speakers if you are an avid music listener. These might get you by but they're definately missing some of the presence of high-end speakers.

Review: I'm very happy with these for what they are really good 7.1 computer speakers.

High Performance in 3D Gaming

Pros: 1. Excellent High Frequency in front three speakers with tweeters. 2. Balanced and Deep Bass level. 3. CMSS up-mix feature for 5.1 & 6.1 sound card. 4. The best performance of this system is in GAMING.

Cons: 1. Poor mid-frequency at high volume, especially in Voices. 2. The strength of side and rear speakers is not the same of three front speakers. 3. To achieve the best performance of this system, at least 5.1 sound card is required.

Waste of speakers

Pros: Lots of Stuff in a Box Looks Very Pretty Black coloring is in this time of year.

Cons: The instructions? Does it have instructions? NO Just a diagram of what goes where. Plugging wires into each speaker with little strips on the tips scares me because I don't deal with this all the time. How do I hide these long wires going around my roo
