Bit of a bargain...

It's hardwired, the left speaker plugs into the right via a phono-like connector though.

I am sure you could cut the wire and solder in a female 3.5mm jack easily enough though.

Thanks for the info, want to hook it up to my 360, will pick up a male to male adaptor

Do they all come with the US power plug?

A high street electronics store used to/possibly still do sell these or the same speakers but with a different brand. The did sound reasonable for the price, better than you'd expect

. Occasionally had them for £15, my staff price would have been about £11 :eek:

US power plug on mine, but they sound good! Light on the bottom end but nice and punchy.

If they sound as good as they look, I expect they are good for the money.

The drivers look like quite quality units.

The tweeters are pretty cheap and a bit on the bright side. For £18 though can't really complain

I'm looking to get some new speakers, and these seem to fit the bill perfectly, for those that have already bought them:

I'll be playing a lot of FPS gamse through them, I guess most will have them just sat on their desks besides your monitors like I will: are you feeling the bass quiet punchy and well 'good enough' ??? I see the OP states perhaps lacking bass, but then 4" driver and all, will they do meaty explosions justice?

/edit, and do they have a volume control wired in or is it all done through the PC? Looking to use headphones too, so would need a fly for that too =/

Not very impressive explosion wise I don't think, my logitech 5.1s (cheapo ones) do better as the sub is purely for bass. I'll give them a try now and check

Minstadave · 27 Aug 2008 at 21:37

They don't go low but turned up they're very clean and punchy. Volume control is on the back, as is the bass control.

Are these going to be better or worse then a 2.1 system with a sub?

Raikiri · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:41

That's a bit vague... they'll be better than a £20 2.1 set but if you spend £40-50 on something like the Logitech Z3 they'll be worse.

NickM · 29 Aug 2008 at 23:54

Ah thanks, well I was looking to spend £20-40 on some cheap speakers for my laptop so looks like its either these or the Z3?

Any chance of a picture of the backs of them ?

Raikiri · 30 Aug 2008 at 17:44

Sure;

DavidB · 31 Aug 2008 at 17:11

Thanks very much, think i'd manage to use them with the xbox fine...hmmmm
