Advantages: Very cheap price, solid, powerful
Disadvantages: Location of power switch, no headphone socket, distortion when loud

...I picked these up in Asda about a week ago, simply because they were so cheap at £11.74. There were to go on the wee mans computer as I nicked the original ones! I have had Trust speakers before and found them to be average to good in quality but always of a high spec and at reasonale prices. I have to say that these are pretty good. Hardly likely to rock your World or, for purists, they are not exactly up there with Wisdom or Kharma! Mind you, those speakers can go for ten of thousands of pounds so a sub £12 bracket makes them extremely good value. The look is simplistic but clean. They consist of a reasonably large sub and 2 satellites. They are in a wood construction with black fabric over the speaker units themselves. The sound is average but does distort is you crank them right up. They are rated at 24W and can... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Quality sound, No USB required
Disadvantages: Lots of wires and leads

...Trust are fairly recent and have taken over the PC World and Asda they are JML’s answer to PC’s Ok these speakers are great well they are not just great they ooze superior sound quality compared to most of the speakers I have used in the past. They play on all PC’s through the headphone port so it will not take up any of your USB ports. They are a stylish black design and are quiet flat the whole design is appealing they curve from bottom to top and side to side. The sound quality for a speaker of their price is good the loudness of the music is really very very loud and they don’t crackle and are very rugged and durable they can be stored on a table or on a slim shelf. Like most Trust products they are quite cheap and can be found in Asda. However I advise people that the downside to Trust are the cheap web cams don’t get... Read review

Advantages: LOOKs, Slim & Clear CLEAR sound :)
Disadvantages: lack of bass (uuummph) & Cables

...Hiya people, Happy New Year! hope everyone is doing great!.. anyway about these speakers. Trust 500P stereo speakers. The speakers are all plastic bodied, and for the price they are well made, the feel of each unit and weight is very good. The sound is very crisp and clear, unfortunately there is hardly any bass.. (if you want more base with these speakers please look at the TRUST 2500P, they are the same speakers but include a subwoofer to make it a 2.1 set) The Maximum Volume of these speakers is good, and yes it still retaines the clarity when turned to max. The cables (power adaptor & 3.5mm stereo connector) are a tad bit short, but you can always get extensions from places like Maplin. The two speaker units have three rubber pads under each, and actually are very good at preventing the speaker from falling... Read review

Advantages: Good design and sound quality, fair price
Disadvantages: none so far

...I bought this set of speakers a few weeks ago from Amazon.co.uk. It cost me about 16 pounds, which I think is fair good price comparing to the price. Basic features This is a compact design 2.1 speaker set which contains a wooden subwoofer and two satellite speakers. The subwoofer is designed with aluminum front and bass reflex. In front, there are volume control button, bass control button and power button. The volume and bass control buttons are metal and the power button is plastic. The rest of subwoofer is wooden and in black colour. The two satellite speakers are in black colour with silver edge. Personally I think the shape of design is very good as show in the product picture. This speak set is suitable for desktops, laptops and TVs. It is designed as magnetically shielded for positioning near monitor or TV... Read review

Advantages: 5.1 sound anywhere you like
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy & cheap, lack of internal mic support?

...undoubtedly this was due to the cheapness of the laptop rather than the complexity of the speakers and i'm pretty sure more expensive laptops, and nearly all desktop pc's have the appropriate sockets. Not mine however. And this is where I finally get to the point. The lack of appropriate sockets on my laptop, despite already having 5.1 sound lead for the need of the Trust 510EX, or as it is sometimes known the Trust SC-5500p. As I have previously mentioned, I chose the trust over the offerings from the like of SoundBlaster purely on price. Whilst i'm sure the more expensive rivals may beat the 510 on quality, they can't hold a torch to it on price, and in the grand scheme of things, under £20 to pay for portable 5.1 sound on whatever computer/laptop you plug this into, is very reasonable indeed. Getting it out the box you're immediately... Read review

Advantages: USB Connection, Fantastic looks and style, decent quality sound.
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy.

...be clear on this one - If you have a modern soundcard, it'll operate and work perfectly through USB ports, not just your bog standard sound port. I came across the Trust Soundforce 2012 USB when browsing the guys display. They looked rather snazzy in their stylishly modeled box, infact it was their streamlined, rather snazzy apperance which pretty much clinched the purchase actually. The price was 14.99, which is fair for a pair of USB speakers, thus I bought them without hesistation. So How Were They? Upon swiftly plugging the 2012's in the USB port, they worked immediately after the PC detected them as a "USB Audio Device" (we were running XP). Thats all it really takes to install a 2 speaker system. The speakers worked in conjunction with the Soundblaster 24 bit card perfectly, and require no updating/software changes to function...

Advantages: very stylish, nice sound, trusted brand, Award winning
Disadvantages: slighty expensive and that it!

...Trust meI do! I predict a bloody riot...Why?....Because your neighbours will bloody hate you with the performance these puppies give off! Imagine them as a really decent set of hi-fi speakers attached to your computer! Now theres loads of different types of speaker kits you can buy varying in price and performance. Low end users or should I say basic PC users may only want speakers for windows sounds or basic internet use so would opt for a set of £9.99 ones from your local PC store, ideal for them! People like myself who use there PC for listening to music, gaming, watching DVD's, or watching TV, may want to invest in something a little more expensive and get a hell of alot more perfromance. THE SIENCE BIT.............. The Trust 3600 is what they call a 2.1 system, basicly its 2 speakers and a subwoofer with built in amplifier... Read review
