Genius SW-V2.1 1250 review

 

A cheap and cheerful 36 Watt 2.1 gaming speaker system

Cheap ; Solid build ; External control box

Not the most powerful speaker system out there ; Highs and mid ranges not as good as the low bass frequencies

The Genius SW-V2.1 1250 is never going to compete with a 300 Watt monster such as the SonySRSDB5002.1, but at almost half the price it's not a bad buy at all if you're on a budget.

Genius SW-V2.1 1255 Multimedia Speakers

 

This 2.1 speaker system for PC usage is quite a looker, even if the sound leaves a bit to be desired.

Great Speakers!

 

The pros of these speakers far out weigh the cons. I do recommend that you get longer cables if you are using more than one monitor for these things. They use regular audio cables so this is a $2 fix. The light was not bother to me (it bothered my...

The audio quality in these speakers is incredible ; I do not think you will find better sounding speakers for this price ; Amazing bass ; Satellite speakers have great quality as well

The hub box is kinda big ; The power light is REALLY bright ; The cable were really short

Better Quality Than You Think...

 

If this price fits your budget, BUY THESE SPEAKERS - you will not be disappointed. I did need to tweek my Equalizer to get the perfect midrange I was looking for. Without the tweeking, the sound was a little light on the midrange frequencies.

You will simply be amazed at the audio quality of these speakers. The Bass is solid and clean. If you like thumpy bass then you will love these speakers. If you like boomy bass, you may need to crank the bass down pretty low to get that ; The main...

Short Cables - you may want to consider buying some extension cables if you plan on placing some distance between the speakers

Good, Cheap, Effective.

 

Blows my generic speakers away, however I still use them for a 4.1 setup as you don't hear much from the behind. If your a gamer and/or listen to Dubstep or techno these are perfect. Dramatically different listening to music and playing games. It's...

The bass is pretty strong for being un-powered. The satellites work great as well. You can turn both up to max and no vibration, just clear sound. The control box is nice and seems to be high quality. So do the speakers and the sub

The LED on the control box is actually quite bright. I put something over it. Doesn't affect the quality of the set but can be a problem if you have it on your desktop. The cords don't reach far. I almost couldn't get the sub connected and this is me...

Good System

 

I use these for my pc and my xbox 360... let me just say that explosions sound awesome! I definitely recommend these speakers, especially for their price. Good buy.

Good deep sound. The sub woofer is absolutely amazing, and it can handle getting pretty loud. The speakers come with nail holes in the back so that they can be mounted on a wall. Independent treble and bass level control nobs

Now, all of these cons aren't that big of a deal. I'm just listing them so whoever is reading this knows more about the system. The system has two audio inputs, a 3.5mm jack and a left/right RCA jack. When you are playing something through both inputs,...

NOT BAD FOR THE MONEY

 

in this case size dosent matter . relaced my logitec X 530 that stoped working with these . not bad for a 2.1 system . the price is good . shipped in 2 days . the 20 hz sounds as almost as good as my home system. in this case you get your moneys worth....

better sound than expected . the bass is deep and crisp even at max level volumes. the tone controls are adjusted easily to make any audio to your liking .this system can be hooked up to anything. all the proper cabling is in box 3.5mm + RCA cabling

the neighbors have no problem hearing this system at high level play . well not really a con for me

Sub woofer failed after about 3 months

Genius SW-V2.1 1250 36 Watts RMS 2.1 4-piece Gaming Speaker System

 

You can't go wrong for the price!

The unit is small, but don't be fooled, the sound is fuller than what it looks to be able to deliver. Although the bass does not get too loud, it's crisp and not muddy. I bought based on the reviews and was not let down. The mids and highs are easily...

The cloth like material used on the satellite speakers seems to be very weak. I really can't say this is too much of a con because it's probably used so that it does not deflect the highs in any way, and really you shouldn't be poking at it anyhow. I...

Perfect

 

Satellite speaker cables are short, but they use a standard cable input that you could buy extensions for. This system is not meant for large spaces. I use it in a dorm room. It is perfect for throwing small dance parties. This can be connected to...

Perfect for Dubstep. I bought this specifically to take advantage of the 20hz minimum so that acceptable levels of infrasound would come across accurately. This is the only product on the market that goes that low. The 400 dollar systems are usually...

Can never have enough POWER. These are "small", but perfect in enclosed locations. The bass is amazing, it will extend through brick walls ; Some people hear extra noise coming through their speakers as they use their computer - this is due to the...
