Customers like the sound quality of the speakers. They say it has excellent sound, adequate low range bass, and more than ample highs. The subwoofer provides very good lows, but the midrange is mediocre. The speakers are great at high, medium, and low volumes, and the sub-woofer booms while the sound is crisp and clear. Customers also mention that the sticks are very musical and balanced.

Customers are mixed about the volume control. Some mention that the volume on the speaker is convenient to adjust the sound levels between the "steps" of the volume up/down, bass adjuster and power button. However, others say that the control is stupid, awkwardly placed, tiny, and annoying.

I read through all 298 reviews before deciding to purchase this item. I wasn't even really planning on buying speakers for my desktop, but these speakers just popped into my mind from seeing an advertisement for them a long time ago, and I started googling "clear computer speakers" and such, and found these babies. I don't consider myself an all out audiophile, but I do have a 5.1 system for my hdtv/ps3/hi-def dish network, and an extensive stereo system in my automobile to boot. I ordered these with overnight shipping since I wanted to enjoy them during the last weekend before school starts up again. : ( : ) It was around 145.00 with overnight shipping. (looks like the price just went up after I ordered them!) Upon unpacking the items, I was pleased to see that the satellites were nice and sturdy, and looked amazing in person. Then I unwrapped the strange jellyfish looking contraption, and was awed. Truly a work of art. A little bit bigger than I expected, but that is fine. Looks perfect underneath the desk. (Please look at my uploaded image for reference to size, it is sitting next to a simplehuman trash can which is9.8x8.4x13. I followed the simple instructions and had the system set up in a couple of minutes. (Most of these were spent routing wires in a cable track that I have set up to conceal the wires going from the floor to the computer) I opened up itunes and itunes froze up on me. I restarted Itunes and cranked through a couple of tunes, and was amazed at the fact that I was not dissapointed, especially after reading through all the reviews hyping these up. These are truly fantastic speakers. A couple of songs that I played were "Just like Heaven" by the Cure, "Deep into the Night" by Hiromi (Fantastic Jazz pianist), "In a Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, "This Modern Love" by Bloc Party, "What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake, etc. High quality sound from both satellites and the sub. The soundstage was very good as well. I remember playing "Now We Are Free" off the Gladiator Sountrack, and it was amazing! Simply put, I was ready to cry tears of joy. I would recommend this system to anyone who wants to enjoy clear vibrant sound from their computer. My friend also came over and went through my library of rap songs on Itunes (a genre I don't listen to as much anymore, but still enjoy) and they all sounded good as well. I didn't dare crank it up all the way as I rent a room and don't want to disturb my landlord too much, but I'm sure it could crank up very high. My room is 16x15 and the sounds is more than adequate for my room. As far as the looks go, I've included some pictures and can say I am 100% satisfied with the sleek look of this setup. I only gave it 4 stars because it lacked a power button. Why they wouldn't include a power button on a system as refined as this perplexes me. I'm not too sure how my sleep will be affected by the blue jellyfish, but hopefully I will be having serene dreams about the Deep Blue Pacific and sea creatures for many nights. UPDATE: slept last night with the blue jellyfish on full glow, did not keep me up one bit. : )
