Sony SRS T100PC

Sony SRS D211

Advantages: Price, sound quality, looks, ease of use & set up
Disadvantages: speakers feel alittle too light for my liking but are very good none-the-less

I bought these from PC world to replace an older 2.1 yamaha set. The difference is amazing; the bass is deep and the higher notes are clear & crisp. I have tried it out with music ranging from Jay-Z to Mozart so far and I have been very impressed. £33 very well spent! My only concern is the satillites feel very light and plasticy... They sound good and feel quite well made but I like a heavy speaker but I guess thats neither here nor there. Setting the speakers up were straight forward, never even opened the instructions... The volume control is easy to use. And the subwoofer is a nice and chunky. Buy these if you want a good set of music speakers that can handle films and games (there are way better ones for those obviously...) But these will make any home audiophiles who havent won the lottery very happy indeed ...

Review of Sony SRS D211

A good, cheap set of 5.1 surround sound speakers.

Advantages: Cheap, fair sound quality and build, good for gaming and films on PC
Disadvantages: Few flaws such as stand not standing up, problem with sub.

I brought this not really knowing what I was getting, I couldn't find many reviews about them, and wasn't really 100% sure about buying them. I went ahead anyway, and I don't regret buying them. They are a good set of speakers for gaming and films, I also use them for music, but really, to get the most out of your music you need a good HiFi, as these speakers don't have the best sound quality going. So, if you want a good set of surround sound speakers for your PC, these will do nicely, and won't break the bank. The sound isn't all that bad though, the subwoofer produces fair bass, which plays the lower frequencys nicely, though the driver is on the small side a bit and they make a strange noise when you put them up too high, like the speaker is hitting the casing, so not too well designed there... The mid range and highs are good ...

A SOUND INVESTMENT

Advantages: Amazing sound, good price
Disadvantages: Heavy

There is little doubt in my mind that computers and the internet have revolutionised the way in which people listen to music. MP3 music files can be downloaded in just a few minutes with a broadband internet connection, computer games have replaced the few mandatory beeps and chirps of yesteryear with full bodied music and character voices, and there is now the option of listening to virtually any radio station in the world with just the click of a mouse button. Of course, the sound you hear when participating in any of those activities is only ever going to be as good as your computers speakers will allow, you may well have the fastest most powerful computer in your street with the latest sound card installed, but if your computers speakers are not up to the job you might as well have saved your money. ●Why I chose Sony SRS ...
