Rating: - ok sound
Others had given this speaker set a good review so I expected a great experience. I'm not sure if the problem is the speakers or my settings, but I can't get them to have a surround sound. The side/back speakers are too soft and I can't hear them, but when I turn them up I lose the center speakers sound. And I can either have the center or the front speakers dominate but not share the sound equally. The bass sounds good during music and tv, but is way too loud for windows computer sounds and I can't find a compromise between the two. I do like the control pad next to my keyboard so I can control the volume easily.
Rating: - Best system for Your money
This is the best system for anyone who wants more than just regular speakers. this system has so many different ways to listen to great sound. and the remote that comes with it is such a pleasure to have, so you dont have reach for the sub wofer to turn it on. when you purchase5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 as i have, triples the output of sound. Overall you can plug and play this thing with ANYTHING! So far i have played it with DVDs Animes iPOD PS2 even my Gameboy. The speakers are mountable anywhere, even upside down which is what i have done underneath my loft bed.
this is a lifetime purchase pending i take care of it like everything else i do.
Rating: - Great Product, Cheap Speaks with a Semi-Cheap Sound
First off the bat I rate this product a 4 because of the price, not the sound.
The system is completely missing the mid-range of the spectrum. You can make up for it somewhat by using your sound cards graphic equalizer. Make no mistake there is a problem in that area.
As other reviewers have noted, the back cords are way to short. We hung ours from the basement ceiling so that wasn't a problem.
Also most of the software out there does not support 5.1. Some do and for those programs is sure can be a lot of fun!
The speakers look nice, heck fact they look, well kind of cool. They also work good for the price and if this is your budget, consider this system. But for goodness sakes if you can spend more money get something else.
Good luck and don't forget as Red Green says, "if the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy".

Rating: - Sounds great
Great sound, short wires. Works great with my pc onboard sound. The wires could have been a bit longer, but you can always add on easily. I have the speakers around my desk so I really don't need a lot of length. mp3's sound great.
