1 Good
They are sort of good at least they work but not varry high good sound I would get better speakers.Good for $50.00
2 excellent but it would be better
Never imagine i could get it so soon. I think the soud effect is satisfactory. But if the manufacturer were considerate enough to encase two Y-plugs, it would be better. The customer always wanna get a best sound effect. But for the moment the speakers can not brought into a full display , what a pity!
I have to go to War-mart to get two. sigh
3 Superb Sound Quality! Highly Recommended!
When I got a new computer several months ago, with DVD compatability, I got rid of my television. Now I only watch movies on the computer. But the speakers which came with the computer were horrible to say the least.
When I finally purchased this particular speaker system, I was amazed at the sound quality. I'm not an electronics guru or anything like that, so I am easily intimidated by stuff like this. But the setup was very easy, straightforward, and self-explanatory. Very little instruction was required. One thing which was required (and is not included in the package) was a Y-plug. This may be required for most computers. If you end up needing one and don't have one, you can still enjoy quality sound from two of the four speakers. But Y-plugs are very inexpensive.
I highly recommend this system.
4 great 4.1 surround!!
if you want every dollar to count go for this 4.1 surround sound system. I searched best buy and circuit city for an adaquate surround system for under $65... could only find 2.1 for $50. so i went to walmart and saw this 4.1 surround system. wat do u think when you purchase any electronics at walmart? no so great, 66watts didn't seem so great to share between 4 speakers and a sub huh? hahaha well i was wrong i use this to play all my music (ditched my sterio) my games and any other multimedia experience. the sub delivers clear and sharp frequencies and the the speakers deliver clear sharp sound... don't hesitate you can't to wrong. also the adjustable master volume is very useful for adjusting volume without having to click on ur desktop... love it, wat more can i say
by the way this i am using a 16 sound card... wait till i get my new sound blaster 24 bit!! ")

6 Great Sound for the Buck
I play 3d games, listen to music, watch DVDs, and just about anything else that uses sound on my PC. These speakers were a great, and cost effective, sound solution. The bass is plenty for a 1 person room it also has adjustable bass knob. The treble is very crisp for the dollar. You have inline adjustable master volume so you don't have to switch to the desktop from your favorite games when you hear the phone ring. I give it 5 stars for the price & quality combination. I was not expecting these speakers to perform how they have so far. Trust me, listen to the Eagles, Hotel California (Live version) on these speakers and you will be impressed.
(If you've ever listened to the live version you know that you need good treble and bass to appreciate the song)

WOW!! great sound and i just have 2 speakers and the subwoofer hooked up
8 Great Sound From Small Speakers
I use this product and am very pleased with the sound I
get from the speakers. I am not an audiophile but I know
the sound I get is great on every genre of music I have
played. It is so good that my Wife asked that I buy them
for her PC.
The only draw back is the lenth of the cables to the remote
speakers. I would prefer them to be longer but that is
because of the shape of my computer room.
When you buy them, I hope you are as pleased as we are
with the sound.
9 Cheap and decent
People, listen up, if you want absolute power and value get these. 66W of power(41 RMS). I was hesitant at first but I got them and they rock. The wired remote is soooo cool.
10 Magnificent
This speaker set is well worth the money. The sound quality is better than anything I've heard before, and best of all -- it's cheap. If you're debating whether or not to buy this set, go for it.
11 This was one of those "Yeah, but ... " purchases
If there was anything that I hated about my previous speaker system (a Cambridge SoundWorks PC Works 2.1), it was having to crawl under my computer desk & reaching in the back of its subwoofer just to turn the damn thing off. With the Creative Labs SBS 450 4.1, I just reach for the on/off switch on its wired remote control (which I installed right next to my keyboard) to do that. I was surprised, though, that this system didn't come with any velcro strips, speaker stands or brackets, which would give you numerous speaker placement options. And other than a drawing on the back of the box (it tells you how to place the speakers) and a diagram on a flap at the top (that tells you how to connect everything), there's nothing resembling an instruction manual to help you out at all. This system, though, gives you great sound at a fairly reasonable price. And if you've had similar systems before, you should be able to set it up fairly quickly.
12 Very good for the price!
Although very cheap, these speakers deliver great value! Crystal clear audio and great bass, these speakers are perfect for just about any use. The Corded remote makes ajdusting the volume easily acessible. The power switch is a little smaller, and more out of the way, but you can get used to it. To experience the full 4.1 surround sound, you need to have a creative sound card, or one that supports the 4 chanel output. otherwise you're limited to 2 front speakers. Overall, its a fairly decent set of speakers, and very good for the price!
