Yamaha YST-MS50 Speaker System

Pros: Excellent sound, solid construction, easy to use, auxiliary input, conservative styling
Cons: Conservative styling

I have had the Y amaha YST-MS50 for more than a year. Normally it sells for about $120, but I was able to get it for about $52 after a rebate from Buy.com. The YST-MS50 is a 2.1 computer speaker system (but can ...

Pros: Awesome bass, superb sound
Cons: none

I have had this subwoofer speaker system for almost 6 months now and am thoroughly enjoying the supreme bass experience it is providing me with. I primarily listen to mp3’s when I’m on my computer, but busting out the old HP Media Rack on the Start Menu...

Pros: high quality sound, good price, booming bass, no wall wart!
Cons: cons? you're kidding right?

For the longest time I have wanted to get a high quality speaker system for my computer. I finally found what I was looking for with the Yamaha YST-MS30 3 piece system. You see, I use my computer for a stereo, DVD player, TV and gaming, among other...

Pros: Audio fidelity, headphone jack, powerful
Cons: Hidden power switch

I have been using these Yamaha speakers for quite some time now, and I am as pleased with them now as I was when I first installed them last year. I was using a set of Altec Lansing speakers that served my audio needs for about four years so I needed a...

Pros: musical overall sound, good bass and midrange clarity
Cons: midrange-to-treble integration a little rough, treble a little tinny sometimes

I consider myself a fairly serious audiophile, being a musician at one time and having built and modified my own gear. As such, I think my perspective on computer speakers is probably a bit different from the average computer computer user. Although the...

Pros: Superior sound, plain and simple.
Cons: Fabrique en Chine / but then what isn't?

My living room stereo is vintage Fisher (only 50 watts total) with large 3-way speakers which have 16" bass reflex woofers. They move an unbelievable amount of air (blow out a bic at 3 feet) and at 25% volume threaten windows in a large room. In...

Pros: Amazing power, Great bass
Cons: subwoofer is a little big

The sound that these speakers emit are just amazing. How can computer speakers which are designed for multimedia purposes sound so beautiful? Just listen to your favorite song through these speakers and you will be truly amazed.

Yamaha is a...

Pros: Cool Design, Great sound
Cons: Subwoofer control

Nice speakers for $20!?! Yamaha offers a series of multimedia speakers with their "Advanced YST Technology" in 3 different power units. This is probably more of a marketing effort than a technological breakthrough though. Nevertheless, these...

Pros: front headphone jack, great price, good bass
Cons: Only 2 speakers, not digital

I bought a set of these back in January and they work great! I was looking at 80W+ computer speakers, and these were the only ones I found with this low of a price AND they also have the front headphone jack. The jack comes in handy late at night when...

Pros: Plenty of punch. High volumes without breakup. Headphone jack. Well made.
Cons: Small main volume control. Bright highs. Rear mounted subwoofer power switch.

I bought these after reading online user reviews. My cost was $126 Cdn.

I listened to several models before taking a chance on these. Taking a chance because no one had them in the city and they had to be special ordered. Of the Altecs,...

Pros: great sound
Cons: subwoofer takes up considerable space

Our trio of PCs each sport their own subwoofer speaker set - my machine has the Platinum SWX 1600 system hooked up (see review under Platinum), the server has a nice yet relatively inexpensive system by Boca (I'm told these speakers are sold under a...

Pros: rockin speakers for the price
Cons: if you want louder, spend more money; small volume control

i did a lot of research on computer speakers. i read an article in a magazine that gave a 2/5 rating on these speakers, and so i decided to search on the internet. i read the opinions of a bunch of speakers on this site, as well as other sites. this was...

Pros: Great sound, reasonable price, quality manufacturer
Cons: Large size of subwoofer

I have worked with computers for over ten years and I have to say that this speaker system beats any other system I have personally owned or had. I once had one of the four-speaker systems from Creative Labs ($200 or so) and this system blows that out of...

Pros: very affordable, great sound for the money
Cons: none

The first thing I have to tell you about is the price for these speakers. The list price for these speakers is about 130. After a little searching, I was able to find them for 105 at a local computer store. That price is a great deal on these speakers....

Pros: Great sound quality, unbelievable bass effect
Cons: wish it also comes with a remote control

I used this speaker as an upgrade of previous Creative Lab Inspire 2.1 speaker set. The sound quality is aweful and the 80W output is quite enough for PC use. The bass from subwoofer is much better than the Creative set and the Logitech set I used befor ...

Pros: two inputs and a real subwoofer.
Cons: sound isn't exactly warm. digital, what can you do?

The local music store has these hooked up to all their display keyboards. I have coveted them for a while. Fortunately, they were out of stock the day I finally made up my mind to buy. I came home and found them on Pricetool.com for half the price...

Pros: Small size, exellent sound. Headphone jack, two inputs. Bass volume knob. Good price.
Cons: Main volume knob really hard to turn. Subwoofer doesn't hit the really low frequencies.

I've had these speakers for many years now. I have the white ones, which kind of sucks, but i guess i could always paint them if i really want them to match. Anyways, they have a very small footprint, but such a huge sound for their size. Very ...

Pros: Good powerful bass, and high quality!
Cons: Subwoofer is a little muddy at times...

The YST-MS50 is a great analog 2.1 speaker system. I like it because you do all the simple cable connections, and you turn it on, you know you got quality speakers when it doesn't hiss at you like a rattlesnake, like the ADA880 of Altec Lansing.
...

Pros: Small size & price vs. BIG sound. Several inputs. Good quality and looks.
Cons: Split controls and occationally "booming" bass for some audio sources. Incredibly protruding rear plugs.

- Plus:
Small price (at about $120.00 US) and impressive "big sound" performance. Despite a compact size, it provides a surprisingly big "HiFi sound". I have several audio inputs and "LOOKS" if you also have a conservative taste like me.
