...and is the trend with Creative the Creative Inspire 500A does not deviate from the expectations. Beside the flash and pomp of its look the price tag is absolutely unjustified. Paying £35 (inc VAT) for this system is totally uncalled for. That is paying too much for jazzy and frivolous looks. The performance of the system is abysmal; it is a good show-piece in your drawing room. I really wonder why Creative, having created a good niche for themselves ... ...the store is stuffed with Creative Inspire 500A. Such trendy looks, but that’s all it has to it.

If you, however, ... ...even think about it. That's my mistake though.
The watt and Hz frequency range is what makes this sound system mediocre. If you're gonna use this system for moderate sound experience, and you can't even hear the difference between 45hz-20khz and 33hz-20khz; then this system is probably perfect for you.
But if you're looking for a quality system to give your movie and music experience a little "oomph", just pay the extra bucks and get a better system ...

Advantages: sleek design, good volume Disadvantages: hard to figure out
I purchased this product thinking "oh, these are going to be amazing" because they looked the part. Yes i think that they have got the design right, they look slick but unfortunately thats the best part. you see this is a 5.1 system and my computer will accept upto 8.1 but for some reason only two of these speakers work at a time??? what was the point in me upgrading from my original 2.1 speakers? aside from that they do give off a nice sound and ...
