Summary: Good little set of speakers
Review: Creative's SBS 350 2.1 speakers are sufficient. They're easy to set up and use, but lack frills that could make them more attractive.

Two little speakers and a subwoofer are included. The speakers produce a relatively rich sound, with a low noise floor. There's no hum or hiss when they should be silent. The sub is basic - fairly rich, but nothing to write home about.

My last set of Creative speakers was their 4.1 set by Cambridge Sound. That set had a power block with a cord, which I half expected to see here as well, but this time they went with a standard 'wall wart' transformer. It gets the job done, but I find it less convenient.

The speakers connect to the sub with a standard 8mm jack. Each speaker connects right at the jack with its own wire, rather than attaching to each other, so this may limit how far away you can put the sub. The volume knob is attached directly to the sub. The audio wire that connects to your computer is also attached to the volume knob. In the Cambridge Sound that I had, there was only one wire coming out of the control knob - having two makes it a bit harder to place.

The cords are relatively long, but could use another foot or so to really be convenient. Due to the layout of my computer room, I have my tower on one side of the desk and the subwoofer on the other side of the desk - the cords are long enough (barely) to allow me to put the volume knob next to my monitor.

The volume control has an on/off switch as well as a wheel to control the volume. This is nice in that it lets you shut off the speakers without losing your volume setting. Two sticky pads are provided to allow you to stick the volume control to the desk, monitor, or other surface.

All said, they get the job done. They sound good, and at the end of the day, all the ease of setup in the world wouldn't matter if they sounded bad. These speakers have yet to disappoint me.

Review: Hello,
Let me say that this is one of the best purchases I have made in my life. When i got to the computer store to purchase the system in-store, i did not know that there would be so few left. I had to look in a corner in the far upper shelf needing a cart to get to to actually find a remaining system.
After I got the system, I was pleased that it was so nicely packaged and well protected in its case. I was not expecting the subwoofer to be so large.
When i opened the package and actually used the system, I found the sound was truly fascinating and incredible. In the next door, my friends cup of water shook similar to that of Jurassic park with the intermittent beats of some good bass.
This is truly heaven, thank you oh lord, and praise the heavens for this amazing piece of equipment.
I have a complaint - the subwoofers may just rock TOO much as my feet experienced slight agitation!

Review: I bought these speakers for my mp3 player, as opposed to the traditional desk setup for a computer. While I was surprised at the power these little speakers had, I often found the bass overpowering the satellite speakers. Obviously, this was due to the fact that the subwoofer was on the ground along with the satellites, but this problem could have been remedied if there was a separate control knob for the bass.

For a traditional desktop setup, I don't think you'll find this as problematic, but even so, the bass often felt way too strong.

Review: I bought this system based on what I read here and in my usual skeptical suspicions thought that what I read was so well written it must have been written by some marketing guy at the manufacturer or at amazon.com.

The speaker system arrived today and saw the dimunitive size of the system, my heart sank and thought my skeptical suspiciouns was right. I plugged the system into my Mac G5 and my jaw literally dropped. After assembling my face I wanted to put this system through some compositions I made with my GarageBand music software. Bass, highs, clarity, channels, and volume differances came through amazingly well.

I never write reviews, but I'm so impressed. This system replaces my Labtech system, though Labtech was adequate, it falls short of this little giant of a system.

Summary: Great for $26 BUCKS
Review: I got the Creative lab SBS 350 2.1 for my Toshiba 2600 portable dvd player hooked them up, and a nice rich balanced sound came out those tiny speakers! I got more then what I paid for....

These speakers are great for portable dvd player....

PS. SBS 350 kicks a_s, and the bass was strong enough to be felt!

Summary: Wow!
Review: I just got these speakers, and I'm very impressed. I can't honestly tell you how loud they can get, because I was only able to get them up to about half volume before I was worried about my neighbors complaining. The sound is powerful and clear, and you can't beat the price. If you want good quality speakers for cheap, you won't be disappointed.
