Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: 2 years of faithful service, then.... WHAM! Comment: I bought these speakers a couple of years ago (a little over 2 I'd say) and they really worked great. The sound was decent and I never had any issues with them until today when they inexplicably died. I just moved across the country so it's possible something happened to them in the move though. I have a Macbook Pro and these things really worked great with it: good sound and good VOLUME (I was able to really crank them). For the time they worked I'd give em 4 stars, but for longevity/durability only 2. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing Speakers, for those who can push connectors Comment: This is an amazing speaker set, which to me, has great sound quality and looks for a PC speaker system.
Minor Snag-
The tiny speaker connectors have a triangular socket/key shape just near the metal pin. So if not aligned well the connect doesnt go in completely. So it is required to push the connectors well and deep , with a bit of twist.
Secondly, the stereo input connector from PC does not need the full push (at least in my set.) This connector needs to be pulled out a bit. This fixes the no-sound in right speaker issue which few users have faced. (its actually no-sound or very low sound in right one.)
Looks like they missed the finer details of those connectors.
Since the right one is also a volume control speaker, I think they put the key on connectors, in case the user misses the color codes. but now the slotted keys alignment.
Otherwise great sounding and looking speakers, for that price. And those soft touch keys to control volume still impress anyone who sees them first time.
5/5! Customer Rating: Summary: Very good sound Comment: I got these speakers now for a number of years. Over this period I have replaced my computer a few times but my speakers have remained the same.
The speakers give a very good sound under all conditions. Normally small speakers tend to 'scream' a bit but in this case that has not been the case.
With pleasure I can listen to music and spoken word without getting annoyed of the sound.
I have not used these speakers with games as I am probably one of the very few that does not use his computer for gaming. Actually I do not do any gaming.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Speakers Comment: I was in the market for computer speakers and found these on sale. I bought them based on price and name brand. Turns out I got a better deal than I thought. I paid $35 and they retail over $100, and they look cool. The sound quality is fantastic and I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to sound quality. Even at a higher price I would still highly recommend these. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for a little while Comment: They weren't too bad when they were new, but after a year they are horrible. They've taken all the joy out of listening to music.
