3 piece speaker set

 :: The Box Contains
  • 2 satellite speakers
  • 1-10" subwoofer
  • Remote (controls Master volume and Bass)
  • The system runs at 110 watts-RMS(continuous power)

So you like "bumping" to thousands of your Mp3's with your little speaker set that came with your Dell or HP machine. I use to be that way too until I found these sweet speakers at my local computer store.

The store had these on display and the one thing that attracted me to them the most was the woofer. I was shocked to see a 10" woofer for a computer setup. I just happened to have my mp3 player in my pocket and I asked the sells person if I could try my mp3 player on them. He was very willingly to let try them out. When listen to them I played a wide range of songs on them, from AFI, to DMX. I was convinced that these were some very nice speakers. Everything seemed to sound great on them.


I started to look more closely at them and I noticed that the remote has a headphone jack on it so you can plug your headphones into it, so you don’t have to unplug your speaker plug in the back of the computer. What’s nice too, is that the controller light is a bright blue so it can be seen in the dark really easily. On the controller there is 1 button and 2 scroll pads. There is the ON/OFF button, the 2 scroll pads control, the master volume, and the other controls the subwoofer.

 :: What the 110watts of RMS power means
The RMS means that these speakers run at a continuous 110watts. This means you are able to get those higher frequencies with the low ground shaking frequencies at the same time while listening to them at a higher volume. Some speakers that you listen too have a lower power rating and you are able to hear this because when you listen them at a higher volume the music or whatever becomes a lot more distorted. With these speakers you don’t get that much at all.

Overall
These are some great speakers to get, especially at the price (around $75). They are perfect for listening to music and they work great for play games also. I loved using them when playing Quake 3, Splinter Cell, and Battlefield 1942. They also sound good for watching DVD's on them. All in all, these are some great speakers that sound awesome, look sleek, and don’t break your budget in the process.
