Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

Nice system especially at this sale price. Really can't go wrong. Was considering another system from an audiophile name brand but didn't think it's price of $149 was going to give me 4X better sound and convenience as the 42W GigaWare 2.1.

Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

The bass isn't too bad for 34 bucks but I was expecting a little more. It isn't awful but it isn't great either. It is just, decent. It has great sound quality along with the decent bass. Lots of wires-very long and unneeded.

    Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

    Bought, setup, tuned.

    do not listen to those who say the Bass is weak. Place the subwoofer between the speakers but on the floor, and turn off your EQ through iTunes etc, and let it control it. The bass is great for the price, still bothers my mom >:3 Mids and highs are pronounced. Very well built so far. I highly recommend. would've 5 stars if longer cord. only grope

      Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

      Bought this to run audio for a presentation from a laptop at work. The speakers did a great job and we're very pleased with the quality for the price. Was worried about interface with a MacBook, but no worries - it was plug and play. Great value. Would recommend and may buy some for home.

      Looks Good, Sounds Great, but is Junk

      Cons

        Best Uses

          Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

          I purchased a set last year and within 2 months the volume control stopped working. The sound quality decreased and only 1 speaker worked.

          I returned it and exchanged it for another set. Well, the volume control on the replacement set also went out; same issue.

          For 2 sets to stop working in less than 1 year, is clear evidence that the quality just isn't there.

          I would not recommend this product.

          You get a bit more than you pay for...

          By Moab Mank

          from Back of Beyond, Utah

          About Me Constant Music Listener

          Pros

          • Manageable Sound Quality

          Cons

          • Wiring Limits Flexibility

          Best Uses

          • Mp3 In A Smaller Room

          Comments about Gigaware® 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speakers:

          Firstly, keep your expectations in check. The sound quality can be managed thru the volume adjuster with a basic bass +/- dial. You then need to manage the sound further on your devices EQ adjuster to broaden the sound range some. As mentioned elsewhere the wiring setup/volume controler is kinda goofy. Overall the sound can be quite good, within limits. Get it on sale(occasionally) on Radio Shack.
