JBL Soundsticks II Audio Speaker System

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Speakers
from: JBL


Santa has just bought me the HK Soundsticks to go with my iMac and to say I'm a little exited is putting it mildly! The sound is great, once you set up the your preferred music type in the iTunes equaliser, and the looks are just .... well just incredibly beautiful! I admit it took me a little time to figure out the where the volume sensor on the RH speaker was as the design is so aesthetic and ergonomic I didn't spot it at first. You just touch the sensor with your finger and and magically the volume changes. Well worth the money if you are looking for something that oooooozes class and sounds fantastic!

Altec Lansing Premium speakers for PC & MP3 players with built-in dual subwoofers

When I first saw these speakers on the internet, I just knew I had to buy them. I liked their appearance and the specifications looked good too. After reading a few reviews online, people did not rate them very highly, I thought I'll take a chance anyway because they just looked so great. Well, I got them today (thank you Amazon for the quick delivery and a huge saving on the RRP) and they sound fantastic. They look even better in real life and the sound quality is decent too. Obviously you are not going to use these for a party in the Royal Albert Hall, but next to my PC, playing iTunes music and online radio stations, the music sounds deep and well rounded. I'm really impressed and will recommend them to anyone looking for good looking, good sounding ... Read More:

Sony SRS-A27 Battery Operated Speakers with Volume Control

I like these because you have 3 choices: passive, batteries or mains. It's nice and flexible I think you'll agree.

The sound quality is great for the price. Great for travelling or if you don't want all your gigabytes of music slowing down the computer!

Creative I Trigue T7900 Speakers OEM

Customer Service - nil point

My wires got damaged when some bloke broke into my house and messed things up. He damaged the wires, the jacks. Odd speakers don't work now.

I tried very hard, but the customer service lines were never answered, and emails sent were never replied to.

Actual performance of speakers - 3/5

That was a long time ago. I am now desperately trying to find some speakers that are better rated. Performance wise the speakers are good! Although quite tinny sometimes, you barely notice because they are so loud. They're nothing classy but good enough.

Conclusion

Buy some speakers that aren't made by creative.

Creative Soundworks 705 TableTop Radio Black

Thank goodness for the trend towards simplicity which some electronics manufacturers are now following. This could not be more basic. Just FM and AM wavebands, mono, manual tuner, on off switch, a simple tone control and that's it. Just tuning it is almost a sensuous experience. With the help of tuning indicators it's quick to find the right spot on the dial.
On switching it on, I could hardly believe my ears. From such a small box came this wonderful sound. It is a joy to listen to, whether it's speech or music. I could not detect any colouration - no 'boxiness' or horrible resonance you get with other radios of this type. Turn the volume up and it will comfortably fill your living room with practically no peak distortion. Bass is solid but not boomy ... Read More:

Just as the others say this cheap and nasty item belongs to a pound shop. It would get NO stars if Amazon provided the option for it!
