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

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

Small, cheap and very good!

Advantages: small, wide volume range, low distortion
Disadvantages: cant plug headphones into them

...little distortion thanks to special JBL technology. One disadvantage is that you can not plug headphones into them. So unfortunately you cant listen to their great sound quality in silence! On the whole i would say that these speakers are very good and they do not cost much, about £30. For this reason they are affordable to anyone so i would recommend these to evereyone. ...

Review of JBL Duet

Harman/Kardon stylish sounds

Advantages: Superb design, excellent sound, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Some dubious build quality issues.

Harman/Kardon seem to be taking the multimedia market seriously by releasing a speaker set that wouldn't look out of place in a modern living room/study. With a design that is a welcome change from drab beige boxes, you are sure to attract admiring glances from your friends. These speakers really do look the part with their slim stands, contoured driver enclosures and the imposing black-grey finish. The subwoofer is a neat round cylinder that can ...
...The setup of these speakers is very easy. Every plug is colour-coded to the corrosponding input on your sound card, and the speaker plugs are even shaped so there it's impossible to connect them the wrong way round. The speakers themselves tend to slide around on smooth desks, but its nothing a small blob of Blu-Tac wouldn't fix... So far so good. Fired up Windows Media Player, picked some songs from my MP3 collection and off I went. Immediatly i ...

Review of Harman International PC multimedia speaker system

shake the room !

Advantages: loud good quality sound
Disadvantages: none

Got these off ebay for £30 and what a bargain as they normally cost about £50 ! The Creature II are a 3 piece speaker system, which connects directly to your PC with a 1/8-inch audio jack. They come with a pair of small speakers and a fat subwoofer which is a kind of dome shape. It has an amzing sound when connected, really solid. It can also be connected direct from to your Ipod which is very handy. The subwoofer has plenty of bottom end which ...
...The Chronic. But the mid and high ranges are also crystal clear, so you are left with a well rounded sound. The right speaker has a couple of buttons to adjust the treble/volume while the subwoofer has a bass adjustment button. These are the best speakers I've had for a computer before and felt they performed far better than the Creative system I last had. Very good quality, I love em ! ...
