| FlyingBlind13's Full Review: Creative Technology FPS2000 4 Speakers |
Just recently I got a new computer that can handle games like Unreal Tournament and Half-Life and my old ISA sound card just wasn't cutting it any more. After I bought my new Sound Blaster X-Gamer Live! I was still disappointed when I didn't see much of an improvement because I was still using my old desktop speakers. After reading the box of my Sound Blaster I saw an ad for these speakers. After I bought them, I was amazed at the digital four-point surround sound that would go so loud it felt like I would be knocked out of my chair.
Unfortunately I've found two downsides to these speakers. First, the small plastic stands that they come with are weak and fragile, I prefer to hang them on the wall. Second, with the digital sound there's almost no noise coming from the speaker when there shouldn't be, even at highest volumes (White noise). Normally this is not problem however, I have almost scared myself to death countless times after turning on the computer and hearing the start-up sound on full volume. These are excellent speakers and I would recommend them to anyone no matter what they are to be used for.
