Definitely a high ranker in budget buys, awesome speakers. Read the tin.

They are fantastic. The sub woofer is maybe a tad overpowered but only in a way that you might feel conscious about your neighbours. They fill a room with sound really well, but it is best you get all the speakers working as it can sound a tad tinny without the full body of all five speakers. The reason I stipulate to get all of them working is that it has a slightly annoying 3-way split cable. Each jack is a separate section as it were, with one being the front speakers, one being the centre and subwoofer and the other the rear speakers; at least I think that's the grouping. This means that you need a 3-way splitter to unify the 3 when using a single Audio out jack. It's a minor grievance but a grievance nonetheless and I think an adapter should have been provided. However, my set was second hand so maybe that part was missing; this doesn't seem to be the case though as many have had small frustrations on the matter. Thank you Google.
If you have a simple in the bedroom setup for TV, gaming or movies or whatever, then this is perfect. In an office? Still great!
Replacement for your expensive 5.1 Hi-Fi system? No, don't be silly; this is an awesome budget buy. If you have the money to have more than one big Hi-Fi system in your home then ignore this product. Otherwise, trussssssst in me and buy a set ;D.
I'd like to thank the guy I bought these off again, I love 'em!

Loud and clear!!

Excellent set of speakers, quite loud though (good thing!!) so make sure the kids don't deafen the neighbours. Only down side is the right hand front speaker has a serial connection so the cable for that one is quite short and the volume for the bass bin is on the rear. For the money though, this system is awesome!!

Excellent speakers

The speakers came fast and were well packed. The sound quality is astonishing, and the connection is very simple. I highly recommend them for gaming, music, and for home theatre!

Excellent

Hooked up these bad boys to my gaming PC and immediately started playing farcry2. I was surprised to hear sounds i had never heard before, the branches of bushes and plants brushing past your shoulder, bullets whizzing past your ears, the rustling of the canopy above in the wind and you always know where your enemies are with full surround sound :) You wont be dissapointed with the quality, I played some dubstep and forgot that the subwoofer was on full volume and it woke my parents up for sure, playing deadspace with full bass is very dramatic and movie-like :) Buy these speakers if you want an affordable and good quality surround sound set.

Like a Volvo - boxy but good

For the money they're "okay" - the base unit is good, the satellites kind of work and the sound quality is good, but there's no separate controls for bass, treble or how the sound is distributed to each speaker - which invariably means the satellites at the end of the food chain sound disappointing. If you want guaranteed volume with no distortion - move on and spend £300 on Bose, but for gaming and interim music they're pretty good.
