Supersaver shipping took only four days!!! The sound is amazing, and the sub thumps like a madman!!!

THESE SPEAKERS R AWSOME!!!! i bought them for $80 from my mall. i thought they were gonna be good but... THEY WERE GREAT! the only problem is that i needed 2 buy a new sound card because mine only supports 2/5 speakers. the head phones wen put in do not work as u would expect. the nob for adjusting volume duznt change the volume for the headphones. but... in the back of the subwoofer there is a nob that can let u turn down the bass boost to be lower or higher. THEY R GREAT!

The setup is easy and is sounds great. The sound is not the crispiest, but the subwoofer delivers true bass and not just pounding noise. They can be mounted on the wall. They look just great as advertised online and on the box. To get a better surround sound, turn the front speakers down a little and turn the rear speakers to max. I am a very happy customer.

Speakers sound fantastic, up to a certain volume level, at which point they begin to show deficiencies in bass and mid-range response. They do a pretty good job filling a small room, but if you like your music loud, you'll find yourself maxing out all volume level controls, wishing you could go one notch higher. I have yet to watch a movie in 5.1 surround (remember, you'll need a sound card that supports a 5 speaker set-up), but I'm sure they'll handle quite well.

Certainly a good value, but if you are truly looking to upgrade to "the next level" like I was, you may consider spending a bit more money.

I bought a set of these from Amazon to replace a 4.1 Altec Lansing set I've had for a while. I set these speakers up, hooked them up correctly to my SB Digital Live 5.1 sound card, and verified all speakers worked. When I began playing MP3 songs, I was certainly shocked at how muddled the sound was.

Negatives:
-Speakers cannot be adjusted. The sound was muddled unless the speakers were pointed directly at me while I was sitting at the desk; and there is no way to adjust them up and down, while the speakers have an "upper angling" to them
-Mid tones were not present. The bass was fine, the treble was okay, but the mid levels were non-existent, resulting in hollow sound.
-Subwoofer is HUGE, I mean for a thing that big, there should be a lot more bass coming out of it.

Positives:
-Speaker set looks nice
-Not TOO bad for the price, all considering.

I have had a Labtec 2 speaker set that sounded better than these. After a couple days of fiddling around with them, I returned them to Amazon and set back up my Altec Lansings.

All in all, I gave it 2 stars because while the sound is horrible, you get what you pay for. For those interested in extreme gaming, I would recommend the Klipsh 5.1 pro media. The extra cost is worth it.
