Summary: No Problems Here
Review: I have had the gray/white ones for almost 4 years now and have been extremely happy with them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy they will stop working!
Review: I received these speakers with my PC and the sound was good (never great) for the first couple of months. Then they became bass heavy and muffled. It was like listening to music under water. Luckily I had a service agreement that covered them, so I got a new pair. After two months, the same thing happened. These speakers are a hastle.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bought Them 14 Months Ago, And I'm Shopping For New Ones
Review: I'm part of the group that has had no luck with these. They worked in the beginning...then something fried inside the sub...returned them, got new ones...Same thing happened...now they are unuseable. They start to go when you hear the light crackling...then it moves into the bass distortion mode...now they just hum loudly with intermitent loud crackling. I'm now shopping for new speaker and when I saw that they were still available I just wanted to see what other folks were saying about them...WOW, I'm not alone! They look cool but they have a quality issue for sure...hit or miss I guess, a gamble for sure!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Looks great, sounds great but lacking durability
Review: Like many others, I ordered these speakers with my new Dell. They look great with the PC and I was very pleased with the sound...that was for about 9 months. I don't think I 'overworked' these speakers but the left speaker is blown. It hisses with most songs but oddly goes away sometimes.

The other (smaller) annoyance is that it's fairly easy to knock the speakers over. They are front-heavy. They need more weight on the back of the base.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good Sound... For Three Months
Review: The sound was very good when I got these speakers and were for about three months. Then the bass started creating a horrbile muffling sound that would sometimes go away for a bit if you hit (I'm not making this up) the top of the speaker in just the right way. Nine months later the speakers just stopped working. Do NOT get these speakers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: These speakers look and sound GREAT!
Review: The sub has output to below 35Hz, which provides a dramatic enhancement to your movies, music, or gaming experience. In addition, it is one of the very few subs that looks cool enough to show off on your desktop, rather than sheepishly hidden away under your desk like so many others.
The sats play loud and clean, plus they look fantastic. I've gotten many, many complements and questions about these speakers, both from their appearance and their sound quality.
Two thumbs up--way up!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Impressive for their size
Review: There are a couple reviews that say these speakers sound tinny or thin, but I do not have that problem. Once you set the equalization on your sound card, audio player, and speakers, you can get a very even, clean, and bassy sound from the HK-695's.

The tiny subwoofer had me scared at first, but as soon as I heard it play its first notes, I was set at ease by its solid and room-filling bass. The champagne-glass-style satellites put out extremely clear highs with just enough mids. EQ settings can be adjusted from thet top of the subwoofer, including bass, treble, and surround (which is basically mids).

Overall, the HK-695 are impressive and stylish speakers that are a worthy upgrade for any "stock" computer speakers.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: static problems don't buy
Review: There is so much static interference that i cannot use the speakers. I cannot find them on the Harman Kardon website. So there is no customer help. My advice: don't buy these speakers, Sjoukje

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: don't buy it
Review: these are good speakers for low volume, once you crank up the volume the sounds of different quality can appreciated. and i'm sure they originate from the speakers. the only good thing is that, i paid $30 for the set.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't let the atractive apperence fool you
Review: These speakers came with the last computer I ordered and I hate these so much for many reasons. The first annoyence is the volume control, it is a touch button on the top of the speaker which means if you start up the computer and the volume is loud you can't just hit mute or turn the dial to prevent a loud sound, the only way to turn it down is to press these incredably annoying buttons rapidly. Secondly volume is the only external control these speakers have. There is a treble and bass control on the subwoofer but it is way to inconveniant to use and it does next to nothing. Lastly the subwoofer is horable maybe a better model would have a better subwoofer, but this one is bad. I just swicthed these speakers and subwoofer for my old speakers and subwoofers. My old speakers constantly have a low fuzz and are not very pretty, however the volume control and subwoofer is so much better I can learn to live with fuzz. These speakers are probably fine if you dont use your computer a lot, but I am on about 6 hours a day always listening to music and they are horable. Don't let the atractive apperance fool you.
