Creative Gigaworks T40 2.0 Speakers

Bigger and louder than the much lauded Gigaworks T20s, but are they an improvement?

Just like the Gigaworks T20s, the T40s are a superb set of speakers for the price. Excellent clarity and a wide sound makes listening to music a joy, bringing the subtleties of all kinds of music to life. Gaming and film performance was also impressive...

Creative Gigaworks T40 review

A quirky 2.0 speaker set for you to feast your eyes (and ears) upon

Superb sound quality

Lack of bass ; Not enough of an improvement on older model

Despite a good sound performance, this speaker set doesn't really do enough to justify investing in it

Creative GigaWorks T40 PC Multimedia Speakers review

Creative offers an impressively wide range of PC, iPod, and multimedia speakers--at least 20, by our count. But we were drawn to the company's GigaWorks T40, a set of unusually tall (12.5 inches) stereo PC speakers that retail for less than $150. The...

Stylish mini-tallboy PC speaker with high-quality dual midrange drivers; easy access to volume, treble, and bass controls; headphone jack; provisions for optional iPod dock.

May be too tall for some tastes; rear power switch and overly bright power light mar an otherwise slick design; no option to add subwoofer.

The Creative GigaWorks T40 is a good choice for those looking for larger than average size and sound in their PC speakers.

Creative - GigaWorks T40

When you look at pictures of Creative's GigaWorks T40, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they're small. Without anything to size them against, they look a bit like the kind of satellite pair you get with ...

The GigaWorks T40s are well made and easy to use, with a standard connection for most audio sources. Their sound is good, but not as full or open as a 2.1 set-up with separate bass amplification. Putting bass ports in comparatively small speaker...

Expert Review

The Gigaworks T40 speakers are a great product. Creative has managed to produce some great quality audio for a very affordable price. As with most of Creative's range, they probably won't appeal to true audiophiles, but for everyday use they excel.

Powerful and clear mid-range, deep and well defined bass, great volume levels with minimal distortion

Treble can be slightly overshadowed, the very lowest frequencies aren't as well represented as they would be with a dedicated subwoofer

Creative GigaWorks T40 Review

On their own, the T40 are a solid set of computer speakers that won't eat up too much space on your desk.

Creative GigaWorks T40 Speaker System Review

The Creative GigaWorks T40 speaker system is a great solution for people looking for an upgrade to the lousy stock speakers that came with their PC. With a street price of around $125 in many

excellent highs and midrange performance ; very cool looking desktop speakers ; small footprint

small drivers limit bass response ; does not play as loud as some systems ; low level from the headphone jack

Overall I really liked these speakers. For the money I would like to see a little better low end, but with the slim design of the cabinet and the 2.5" drivers, it just ain't gonna happen. I think this also limits how loud the system will play (although...
