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...

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

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.
