Good but not great
By SirStinky
I bought these off a friend for $20 to use on my laptop computer.At first I was a little disapointed by the lack of power (the satellite speakers are just 2 watts each, the subwoofer is 20 watts), but after listening to them for several months, I am pleased to say that despite being somewhat low-powered, they sound pretty good.These are 2.1 type speakers so there's two satellite speakers and a subwoofer. The two satellite speakers have just a single driver that's 2.5 inches in diameter (about the norm for PC speakers), and a subwoofer totally encased in a box. It's interesting that the subwoofer is front-firing, but totally enclosed, which is unlike most subwoofers on PC speakers (or regular speaker systems). Even the lower-end and high-end models like the Klipsch ProMedia X2.1's and the Holy-Grail of 2.1 PC speakers, the Logitech Z-2300's have either rear-firing or downward-firing subwoofers, and I feel these give better bass response, intensity, and quality.Why Sony chose this configuration is beyond me. It causes a bit of distortion in the lower ranges, and the bass isn't as crisp and not as pronounced or powerful as some other speakers. You can help this out by moving the speaker outlet away from you, but it's still somewhat muffled unless you crank the volume up. This could also be helped by the addition of a bass and treble adjustment, but nothing is adjustible on these speakers (except the volume).The mid-ranges and highs are good and come out clean and chrisp, but there is room for improvement in the sound quality for speakers costing $50+. I listen to a lot of music on my computer, so that's mostly what I use these for. For music, these are just fine, even if there is room for improvement. I have watched some movies with them, and was disappointed in the sound quality. I compared these side-by-side with some $20 speakers made by Accent Acoustics, and as far as I could tell, there's not much difference between the two. The Accent speakers had less wattage (15), but the bass sounded more pronounced, powerful, and chrisp, probably because they had adjustable trebel and bass.The price is an issue. It's not for me, because I got these for $20, but I'd have never paid full-price for them when there's better models out there for about the same price as these.The good: Sony quality, good mid-range and upper range response and clarity, 3.5mm headphone jack, easy connectivity (the speakers can unplug from the subwoofer).The bad: Weird front-firing fully enclosed subwoofer design, muffled and distorted bass; weak bass response for 22 watts, fragile speaker bases, no remote, and no adjustments for the bass or trebel.Overall, if you are looking for a set of 2.1 type PC speakers, look elsewhere. You can find a comparable or better set for cheaper, or a really nice set (like Logitech's Z-4i's or X-240's) for about the same price as these.

By Princess
There is NO bass control which I found a little odd. I really think these need to be 20-30$ speakers. Had I tested this in a store I would have rather spent the extra money for the logitech ones. Since I am in a small room anyhow these speakers are sufficient and haven't had any issues yet.

Pretty good
By Mark Fellows
These speakers are pretty good. They have a single driver in the satellites and one front firing sub woofer. Despite the single driver in the smaller satellite speakers, I find that they produce a pretty good range of sound, slightly tipped toward the highs, but pretty good midrange also. You will hear a little bass distortion if you point the front firing speaker toward you.Point it away from you are even better point it away from you and push its opening right up against one of your interior walls(drywall and 2 by 4 construction) and you will get great sound.I find the overall sound pleasing with good although slightly sharp bass, decent midrange, and very crisp highs.These speakers will work great for me as my glass computer desk upstairs is only about as large as need be to fit my 19" wide and just a little more. These small speakers fit just fine.I am pleased with these as long as the quality is there and they continue to sound good without distortion.Probably a good speaker system for adults who want them for listening to music, not gaming. Meaning people who have older taste in music like perhaps jazz, blue eyed(Basia), 80s, house, etc. Probably not good for rap listeners, but still good for Inner City "Big Fun" and Rhupaul which have good tight bass but not all lows and distortion.Amy Winehouse sounds good on these also.
