Customer Review: Cheap speakers
Summary: 2 Stars
I needed extra speakers immediately for a last minute project and had to buy these at Radio Shack because they were the closest store that was open. If I had had the time to shop around I would have purchased something much better.
The sound quality is so-so and about what you expect for low-end computer speakers. They need an isolation filter and better shielding. The light in one speaker started flickering 3 weeks after purchase and went out completely 2 months later. The lights serve absolutely no purpose other than to let you know the system is powered on, so it is not a big deal. The blue lights are kind of unattractive and cheap-looking anyway.
The connector to the subwoofer is very poorly constructed so that it generates significant noise whenever the wire is touched. If you have the wires lying around unprotected or dangling off the back of the desk, you are likely to have issues with noise and static.
The worst part is that the speakers are sensitive to cell phone signals. Anytime a cell phone call comes in or goes out and the phone is within 15 to 20 feet of the speaker, there is a extremely loud clicking signal passed through the speakers. Also, anytime the cell phone is pinged by the phone system, this noise occurs - you don't need to have a call coming in to have it happen. I have no other speaker system that has this happen to it. I've had the speakers for about 8 months now and would have replaced them if I used them more often, but I don't. I don't have the time to open up the subwoofer and the satellite speaker to fix the shorting issues, so I can't say if the problems are even repairable. I assume they are, but they never should have been so poorly made to begin with.
The good thing is that these speakers are pretty cheap. It is hard to find anything much cheaper than these and sometimes that is all that you want -- something that puts out sound and not necessarily of good quality. So if you want to take the chance to buy them and they don't work out for you, you aren't going to be out a lot of money. On the other hand, there are much better speakers for about the same cost, so you shouldn't have to throw away good money on these when you have other alternatives.
