Pros: Spectacular sound!! Bargain price!!
Cons: None

It’s a sunny March Saturday morning in coastal Maine, and here I am... buckled into my jet-black Lamborghini Countach, blissfully flying along this country road at 137 miles per hour. The gorgeous coastal scenery whizzes by as a fuzzy gray, blue, and...

Pros: Inexpensive price, typical speaker
Cons: Bass and treble leave a lot to be desired, typical speaker

Thinking of speakers for your computer? Planning on buying a new system and looking at what is available in the speaker universe? I would not suggest the Cambridge Soundworks CSW PCWorks speakers for most people. I will explain.

First of...

Pros: Awesome Sound For the Money!
Cons: On/Off and Bass Buttons Not Easily Accessible

Why can’t PCs come with speakers like these as standard equipment? I guess to get the bottom line cost down they give you “functional” speakers and if you want to upgrade you can do so at your additional expense.

I bought a new HP Pavilion...

Pros: Small, great sound quality, inexpensive....more bass for the buck.
Cons: There are "better" speaker sets out there, but these are great for the price.

I have owned this set of Caimbridge Soundworks PC speakers for about 2 years now and honestly I didn't think they would last this long. I have over 600 MP3's and play many computer games with the speakers turned up loud. They have exceeded my...

Pros: Satellite speakers have a small footprint, sound quality is excellent.
Cons: None

Rich vibrant, crisp sound, dynamic bass response, and a surprisingly full, loud, but clear mid-range make the Cambridge SoundWorks CSW PCWorks a must have for those with limited desktop space.

My old Altec’s (may they rest in peace) were...

Pros: Great sound quality and bass
Cons: Cheap remote control

I got these speakers for my computer about a year ago to replace the cheap speakers that came with the computer. Wow, I was impressed. These speakers pack quite of punch. The speakers come in two colors, either black or white. You don’t have to be...

Pros: Can be connected to other devices. Small size, economical
Cons: Lots of twist-ties

I've never been much for expensive computer speakers. My first set was a little $12 jobbie that were self-powered by the current running from your soundcard. After blowing out one of them due to their pathetic treble/bass handling I then moved up to a...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, even better value
Cons: there are none.

Thirty clams. What can you buy with thirty bucks you ask? You can land this three piece set of Cambridge Soundworks speakers for you PC, and you will absolutely be amazed at what you get for your money.

Let's put things in perspective,...

Pros: Small satellite speaker and convenient wired remote control, price.
Cons: Confusing sound. The theory of the speakers are wrong.

The Cambridge/Creative SoundWorks PCWorks speakers system by Creative is a step above “tin can” computer speakers. It is solidly built, easy to install and is very pleasant to listen to. They are inexpensive and if you can live with a couple of...

Pros: Cheap, Good Sound, Small
Cons: Boomy Bass, Volume Control Cord

Purchase History
My brother was shopping for a computer speaker for his new laptop. As a student, he had tight budget for around $50 to spend on this.

I have been reading great review for the PC Works years ago when it first came...

Pros: Extremely cheap, Sounds great, Can rock your home.
Cons: Finding optimum volume balance can be time consuming, Velcro pads don't work

The market for subwoofers have been severely reduced in price. This system costed me $30 at Amazon.com. Obviously, this was my main motive for the purchase as there were no other systems near this price (most of the others were over $40)

...

Pros: Easy set-up, great sound, good price
Cons: no headphone jack

Cambridge Soundworks have been around for a very long time, and they have carved out a dolid reputation for themselves with regard to the quality of their products.

I have owned my PC Works speakers for several months now, and I am very...

Pros: Inexpensive, great quality sound, inexpensive.
Cons: Wire connections getting old, better but more expensive speakers out there.

The Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks are probably the best set of speakers under $50. At www.shopper.com, you can purchase them for a paltry $34. The sound pumping from these speakers, however, is worth much more than $34.

These speakers come with...

Pros: Cheap amazing sound.
Cons: None.

I spent a lot of time listening to mp3's on my computer's crummy tinny built in speaker. There was only one speaker, and it was the manufacturer's built in one. You can only imagine how excited I was when I visited Best Buy and saw that this world...

Pros: powerful despite the size, nice control, leaves a lot of desk space
Cons: design isnt as nice to look at as Altec Lansing

In a world where people boast about their 400 horsepower automobiles, 1000 megahertz computers, and 4 megapixel cameras, we find a product that defies the belief that size does matter. What product am I referring to? Why, I'm talking about the Cambridge...

Pros: Compact, inexpensive, great sound
Cons: Not a theater surround sound system

A few months ago I built a computer for my significant other. I knew that I would need some external speakers for her new PC, but as she was not a heavy computer user, I did not want to spend a fortune. With the purchase of these Cambridge Soundworks...

Pros: Great sound, small and light, long wires included, fantastic price
Cons: None

I am extremely satisfied with my Cambridge Soundworks speaker/subwoofer set up. Unlike most users I do not have them attached to my computer. Instead I have them connected to an external CD-ROM drive which I use to play my CD's - in this manner I have...

Pros: Exceptional sound quality, nifty volume control
Cons: A tad over-bright, subwoofer becomes overdriven at moderate volume

First off, I should let you readers know a bit about my background... I am used to very high-end equipment. In the past three years I have built a competition-level sound system in my car as well as an audiophile setup at home. I poured over $6000...

Pros: Great Sound
Cons: Picks up radio interference, unshielded cables that cannot be replaced

I wanted to get a new set of speakers because my cheap, old ones were dying. I figured that I would find something inexpensive and yet good.

Most of the reviews on this set of speakers have been very positive, which led to my purchase...

Pros: inexpensive; enough bass.
Cons: insufficient midrange.

These speakers can be plugged not only to PC, but to any head-speaker output of audio equipment. Actually , I used them as a stereo pair for my TV set.

Bass is sufficient, and surprisingly loud for their size. But it's not "deep", and...

Pros: long cabling, accessibly volume control, wide bass range
Cons: none

Overview
For $49.95 these speakers have a great range of sound and are easy to set up.

Quality
*Not cheap plastic
*The tweeters have nice stands to sit on which gives them less bass sound
*The bass itself works in almost...

Pros: Great sound, great price.
Cons: Sound suffers at high levels

I had just come back from computer camp and had learned the joys of mp3s. As soon as i ran the mp3 player i was disappointed with the sound coming from the speakers i had gotten with a CD player. I had heard about cambridge soundworks and decided i was...

Pros: Tiny! Tunes, Bass, Volume Control audio cable style
Cons: Hard to adjust sub, Power cord and no Auto off, not really shielded, short

Ever heard the 1812 overture live? With Cannons? Well those cannons are expensive! But, they do produce massive bass. So do these speakers, and for a tiny miniscule fraction of the price.

If you need some new or better speakers for your...

Pros: clear speakers, deep booming bass, inexpensive
Cons: power button hard to reach if placed under the table

I was pretty amazed at these speakers are so powerful once I brought it home for a test drive. Well maybe not pretty amazed, I was blown away! Being the thrifty person that I am, I don't really like to buy really expensive speakers.

When I...

Pros: Small size, impressive sound
Cons: Power switching, difficult to adjust balance

After having good experience with the design of Cambridge Soundworks stereo/surround speakers, I purchased this to replace the woeful original equipment speakers that came with my H-P Pavilion. The diminutive size and sound that these very small powered...

Pros: Sound great, small desktop footprint: AWESOME VALUE
Cons: Cheap-looking plastic enclosure for the subwoofer

It's been a long Windows journey for me: I've just spent the past few days building a new PIII 500Mhz rig from scratch --a Christmas present to myself.

After having spent more money than I wanted to on parts, I finally realized I needed to...

Pros: Small, powerful, quality sound
Cons: Only a three piece system

When I was putting a custom computer system together, it was recommended to me that I should but something from Creative Labs or Cambridge Soundworks, because they produce some of the finest speakers on the computer market. I searched a little on the...

Pros: Sound, Inginiuty, Price
Cons: None

I ask the question "Where is this great sound coming from?" time and time again when I turn on these speakers. You look at the box, or see them sitting on the desktop and think to yourself "Eh, tiny speakers, tiny sound." Wrong you...

Pros: Great Quality for good price and compact size
Cons: Somewhat ugly compared to the sleeker newer ones? Not really a con...

SDDS as most of you know is the surround sound unit manufactured by Sony used in almost every theatre across the nation. It stands for, well, I'm not too familiar with all these modern acronyms, but I think it stands for Sony Dynamic Digital Sound...

Pros: Long wires and amazing sound quality.
Cons: NONE

This product is a sure keeper. When i saw this in the store i thought to myself that there must be a hidden rebate or something , but i was wrong these speakers have the best sound quality that you can get for just $49.95!!!!. Wow! now that i think of...

Pros: Sound quality, volume control, price
Cons: Only two speakers

I purchased the Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks speaker system two years ago, hoping that its output would justify the $75 I exchanged for it. Needless to say, it was one of the best upgrades I have ever made to my computer system. The PCWorks delivers...

Pros: Great Value, Good Sound
Cons: Won't replace a home stereo

When I bought my computer, it had those cheap, hollow-sounding speakers that reminded me of communicating over a string between two tin cans. I had to upgrade them, but after buying my computer I was looking for a bargain, and after reading many reviews...

Pros: awesome sound, great price, small
Cons: none

These speakers are hooked up to my PC's sound card in my home-office which is about an 8X10 room. These could perform just as well in a room twice as big. I have nut fully crancked the volume yet as it has not been necessary, at 40% volume the bass is...

Pros: Excellent value, portable, awesome sound, simple
Cons: None

When I was building my second computer I was unsure of what speakers I should use. I asked my cousin’s advice and he suggested that I demo the Cambridge SoundWorks line of speakers. At the store (which by the way is basically a showroom for all the...

Pros: Amazing value!
Cons: Absolutely None!

In reading other peoples opinions of these speakers, I cannot believe some say the bass is lacking. For the price I would not expect to be hearing 20HZ! Let's just say, it blows the pants of most original equipment speakers hands down!!!! And most other...

Pros: Good quality for low cost, reliable.
Cons: Bass is hit-and-miss, wiring could be better.

I should start off by saying I have two sets of PCWorks speakers attached to my system, and these speakers weren't really designed for that. But...if you happen to have the Montego II Quadzilla and were wondering about these speakers and four-way sound,...

Pros: Amazing value!
Cons: Absolutely None!

In reading other peoples opinions of these speakers, I cannot believe some say the bass is lacking. For the price I would not expect to be hearing 20HZ! Let's just say, it blows the pants of most original equipment speakers hands down!!!! And most other...

Pros: Good value
Cons: Not for listening to music

This speaker set tends to get rave reviews, mostly for its very good price/performance ratio. Unfortunately, I've seen some reviewers get carried away, and praise it excessively. Maybe they read the text on the box, and mistook marketing hype for...

Pros: Great bass, crisp sound, very inexpensive
Cons: Amp can highlight imperfections of low-quality sources

I purchased the PC Works at a computer show recently to replace the $5 specials that came with my PC. The PC Works is a two satellite/subwoofer package designed by Henry Kloss (founder of Advent, KLH, and Acoustic Research before founding Cambridge...

Pros: Ok sound easy to use & hook up, cheap.
Cons: volume limits, hard to reach controls, subwoofer not needed greatly

This is my first review on epinions so be kind!

I bought these speakers for about $40 at a local street store and was after some sound as my previous speakers were a bit broke.

Opening the box you get
-two small speakers
...

Pros: Excellent value, great sound for the price, renders subwoofer-less systems obsolete.
Cons: don't expect too much from a $50 speaker set, power button inconvenient, finicky volume control.

While this set isn't the most powerful and doesn't have the latest features, this is you bread and butter speaker set with a surprisingly good sound. Expect to pay about $40-$50 on these speakers. Nothing in this price range even comes close except...

Pros: Great sound, beautiful sound distribution, excellent bass output, low price.
Cons: Needs it's own power source...separate outlet.

I was looking for a small speaker combo w/a subwoofer to bring out the sound that came from my laptop. After purchasing the Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks speakers, my laptop created a whole new personality for itself! Before the PCWorks speakers, I...

Pros: Easy set up, Excellent sound
Cons: Can't buy more "just tweeters"

I knew I needed to upgrade from the $20 pair of speakers I currently owned. I did some sound testing research at the local computer stores listening to whatever they had available. I knew I wanted a three speaker set up and was mostly interested in sound...

Pros: Inexpensive, great sound, small
Cons: Large power adapter.

These speakers are small. The package comes with attachments to mount the speakers on a wall or mounting tape to attach to a monitor as an example.

Aside from the the attachments and size, let's get down to what everyone wants to know. The...

Pros: VERY bad sub distortion
Cons: Low price...but NOTHING else

I bought these speakers mostly because of the low price, but also because I couldn't find any really negative reviews...this was a mistake. These speakers are NOT worth the money I paid for them (which was only 38.97). I don't know what I expected from...

Pros: Sounds quality Volume for price
Cons: Looks Cables too long

I had these speakers for about a year before upgrading and buying proper hi fi equipment.

I think the most important thing to say about these speakers is that they are a nice, inexpensive upgrade from the usual free ones which come with a...

Pros: Small footprint, incredible sound
Cons: None

I've had a computer since 1983. I remember even when the PCjr came out, and could have multiple sounds playing from it's little internal speaker at the same time. And since 1983 I've been looking for the best balance of price and sound out of a set of...

Pros: Sound quality, price
Cons: very minor - stupid placement of some controls, high end a little weak, sub gets boomy

I got tired of my old cheap speakers, so I went out and bought these for myself. I got them for $40 at Best Buy. I bought them because I listen to a lot of music, and my old speakers weren't cutting it.

The subwoofer on this thing can move...

Pros: Great bass, crisp clear sound.
Cons: Nothing!

I purchased a Philips MMS203 speakers for 42 dollars. I was disappointed a the subwoofer and the quality was bad. "Line In" Jack was loose and the sound skipped.

After 2 days I came across this site and heard many good rumors about...

Pros: Cheap, Small
Cons: Bass too overpowering at high volumes

This set of speakers is rather old, but now marketed under the Creative Labs name. For its age, this set of speakers performs well.

What you get out of the box is a simple, 2 satilight configuration, with a Shoeboxed sized sub. Setup is...

Pros: Great Sound, Inexpensive
Cons: none

These are absolutely the best sounding speakers for the money. Don't hesitate - go directly to your local Wal-Mart and buy'em. You will not regret it.

My only problem was to decide weather I wanted the 4 or 2 speaker set. I settled for 2 - I...

Pros: Quality
Cons: None so far

I purchased this product for my computer at home. ANYONE can benefit buying this product. I chose this product because the quality was GREAT. Overall, I recommend this product, because it is awesome. Definitely purchase this product. The sub-woofer is...

Pros: Price
Cons: They pick up radio and static noise

I received my set of Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks Speakers, I installed them, and I found that, even without connecting the speakers to my computer, I can hear some noises (in fact, the radio) in the speakers.

I called their technical...

Pros: great sound; good design
Cons: none that i know of

This powerful little package is one of the best 3 piece systems I have seen. It is very well designed, with the volume control you can attach to your keyboard. The speakes themselves, offer good, powerful sound, and with the subwoofer, it makes this...

Pros: Wonderful computer sound for money; cheap; can move easily
Cons: Not an audiophile system; made in china

For the money these little babys rock. For $50 you can turn a $30 cd player into a hi-fi system that most will not believe. Plug the line into a headphone jack and your off! In addition they make great computer speakers: nice detail, balanced sound, and...

Pros: Great sound quality, elegant, good price
Cons: Not the best of the best about bass

This speakers have a terrific sound quality, the sound is very clear, bass is good, not the best, but it's good, they are excellent for gaming over all, and if you like to hear music while you work, it will sound good with these speakers.

Some...

Pros: Low price, good sound quality, built well
Cons: Boomy sub

"Gee whiz!" is what you might say after hearing these awesome little speakers. This is full impact sound in a small and CHEAP package. I replaced my old Yamaha speakers that I bought before most PCs even had sound cards. The Cambridge system puts them to...

Pros: Compact, Powerful, Cheap
Cons: Reliability Issue

I love the Cambridge PC Sound Works! These are the best computer speakers that I have ever owned. They're compact, powerful and cheap.
The only problem is that I have been calling their customer service hotline a lot. The subwoofer is pretty...
