Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Headset Owners' Thread

Well the subwoofers are supposed to provide the bass not the other 6 speakers. Sounds like what is happenning is when a sound goes to the front left/right channels, the sound is also passed to the subwoofers and you get bass, but when a sound goes to the rears, for some reason it isn't passed to the subwoofers.

Dunno whether that's by design or a fault. It could even be something to do with the soundcard redirecting the bass to the bass channel (which the Medusas don't use). It's a while since I used my Medusas so I can't remember quite how they sound. I think the rears on mine were a little 'tinny' but not hugely so.

As the Medusa_USA guy is pointing out, the rears are smaller cones so that could explain why they don't go quite so deep.

That thread you linked to is nuts btw :D

my left front blew out today, still works but it makes a horrible crackling sound when it has to play loud sounds :o ill check out the box to see if theres any warranty left on it, else i'll have to buy myself another set :mad: not sure wether i should go for the usb version this time though as my onboard sound is pretty pap, maybe the usb would be better.


sounds like how mine went, still works all righ thte speakers, but horrid when u get BASS :(

ive disconected mine from the amp thing and just use stereo works fine, at least i dont get any interfearance with my mobile phone now :p

Just got my progamer medusa's today and VERY gutted :mad: :(

They are one of the faulty batch, the bass volume control (vib vol) does not work and the rear speakers are VERY tinny with no bass.

Apparently this is because they are wired up wrong.

I have sent an email to ocuk asking if they can replace them (with a working pair)

Gutted.

not a great link, that thread justifies the tinnier sounding rear speakers!
