Labtec ARENA 685 27 watts RMS 5.1 Speaker

 

the bass really pumps, and is adjustable. you can really feel it with your foot in front of the sub.

very nice, epically for the money. can barley tell I paid $xx for these. The cables are plenty long

Almost can't fit them on my desk, the volume is on the back of the sub, not too much of problem, I adjust with my keyboard anyways

Labtec ARENA 685 27 watts RMS 5.1 Speaker

 

for those who don't know, the wattage rating is how loud you can turn the speakers up before you get distortion and cracking. guess what those speakers that cost so much more have? yep, higher wattage rating. and better sound quality. these things are...

dirt cheap positional audio. wattage rating is o.k. as long as you don't like to shatter windows with your sound

sound quality is alot lower then the phillips 2.1 speakers i had before these (costed roughly the same price). i think i would rather have the phillips speakers then these ; oblivion sounds TERRIBLE. you have to turn the bass way up to hear a spell...

Good, but you get what you pay for

 

I recently replaced these speakers with with logitech's even though these were a fraction of the cost I still don't notice much of a difference in sound. All in all they are great speakers with only a minor problem. They sound much better than the...

Excellent Sound

 

Recommend it highly. Newegg shipped it to me in 1.5 days when I payed for 3 day shipping!

Excellent sound quality. Extremely easy to set up. Get very loud for it being so small, I play games with the speakers practicly off, mabye 1/5 turned up max

So far none, but you never know how long cheap systems last

I'm no speaker snob, but these sound great to me. The surround sound is cool in games, and the subwoofer makes explosions so much better.

Very impresed.

 

I do professional audio/visual installations for a living. I have a high end Sib Cub 5.1 dolby system with my main setup and im still impressed by these little things. Incredible sound for such a price.

BEST hardware buy I ever made

 

Everything about this speaker set is QUALITY. They won't shake the windows at 45 watts, but sound better than my Onkyo system.
