PC Loudspeakers

Dont be put off by the unknown brand

Advantages: Sound quality/volume is brilliant
Disadvantages: There are better quality/stylish speakers out there (but for double the price)

The JBL Radial Micro... the fact that this speaker dock was available from my local tesco store really did put a few doubts in my mind for paying a high amount for this. However my worries were put to rest when i brought this home. The sound quality is impressive, however more importantly is the volume it reaches without distortion. Being the typical teenager, these speakers have been a life-saver for house parties, easily filling the downstairs ...
...a fantastic range too allowing for track change, play/pause functions as well as volume control. This is paticularly useful for when the bad song of the bunch comes on. The pictures dont paticularly do it justice as it does look quite stylish sitting on a table xD Dont be put off by the relatively unknown brand. These speakers are more than what you need for your ipod! ...

Review of JBL JBL Radial Micro

Harman Kardon Soundsticks, awesome sound quality...

Advantages: Rich sound, super clarity, deep base, look great, robust, high quality
Disadvantages: Simply none!

My Harmon Kardon Soundsticks are plugged into the back of a Mac and have certainly livened things up. I haven't needed to upgrade soundcards or do anything technical whatsoever in my pursuit of fantastically rich sound quality. Firstly, these sound better than anything else on the market within the price bracket. The sound is rich and deep with ample adjustment for either volume or base. The two sticks and base unit come with an instruction manual, ...
...can throw the manual in the recycling bin. The speaker set simply plugs into the jack socket of your PC/Mac/laptop and have their own power supply which connects to the base unit. Seperate cabling attaches the sticks to the central base unit. Once plugged in you get a cool blue underlit main unit which looks really stylish. The sticks themselves are mounted on adjustable rubber hoops which keep them firmly planted to your desk with adjustment to ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

Logitech X 230: Fantastic buy and fantastic value!

Advantages: Excellent Sound Quality and Value
Disadvantages: None

I bought these speakers to replace a set that I had had for a few years and had finally packed up. I ordered these from the internet for £29.99, not a bad price for a set of computer speakers. At this price I was expecting passable sound as long as I didn't put it too loud. When they arrived I plugged them in at the back of my box with ease and turned my computer on. The attachment on the wire going into the speakers give you the control to turn ...
...through your computer, very handy. I tried out my new purchase with a couple of songs, I was pleasantly surprised! Even at full volume the sound does not crackle or loose any quality. I would recommend this to anyone who wants mid-range speakers that really do deliver! ...

Review of Logitech X 230

JBL creature - model ;)

Advantages: Look great, sound better
Disadvantages: Only play as low as 50Hz

I have the white pair, and i'll start from where i started at choosing these, they look great don't they? the alloyish trim over the speaker and curvy body really is attractive. The volume is controled by a touch sensitive receptor on the right speaker, which doesn't ever stop working. Aside from the looks they also sound great the two small sattelites(speakers) give out superb high frequency sound, very clear, very crisp. Now to get that full rich ...
...of the same design and looking great has two knobs which control bass, and treble for the whole system which is a handy and useful touch (not only decorative). The sub though does add the warm sound of bass to your music and it does this very well, the sound is not rattled, or distorted as you may find from many cheap subs. However where i was disappointed was its frequency range only playing as low as 50Hz, the human ear can here as low as 20Hz, ...

Review of JBL Creature II

Logitech Z 5500 5.1 Surround Sound System

Advantages: Reliable, excellent value for money, loud.
Disadvantages: Can get warm during playback.

I purchased these speakers from Amazon a few years ago and they have been all round excellent. They are incredibly loud,stylish and in my opinion great value for money. What sets these speakers apart from any others are the fact that they are adaptable to so many different media centres. For example, you can plug these speakers into not only a TV, but also a computer (some laptops may even be capable of doing so) or you can plug and iPod or any other ...
...outdated TV's/PC's/iPod adapters, to simply buy a connecting lead adapter which I have seen on Amazon UK for ten pence. Addtionally, there are different settings for different media. i.e a mode for watching movies, a mode for music etc. You can easily control the amount of bass and assign a volume to which set of speakers you want to. Also included is a guarantee. P.S The subwoofer (for the bass) is absoultely earth shaking! (but can be turned down ...
