Creative Inspire T3100

Advantages: Cheap for what it is!
Disadvantages: n/a

These speakers are absolutely brilliant for how much they cost. From my experience, I know enough to say that they produce some pretty decent audio and only for around $40.00!!! That is a bargain price for such a cool and sleek looking pair of speakers. They have a nice black design with some cool ring designs around it which will really spice up the look of your room next to your computer when you set the lot of them up! They are very easy to ...

Advantages superb sound quality across a wide range, cool speakers, subwoofer, cheap
Disadvantages none unless you play around with the manual settings

...When I upgraded my monitor recently I was given the option of buying a speaker bar that attached to the top of the screen and I was assured rather unconvincingly by the spotty teenager at the shop that a speaker bar was the future and the model he was trying to flog was the best thing since sliced bread. Before venturing further, what was the best thing before sliced bread? Answers on a postcard please! The nerve of the guy, trying to sell me a speaker bar for £55 when at home I have the Creative Inspire T3100 speaker system. Known to me as “the mothers" for these are the reason I laughed heartily in the shop assistants face. He wanted £55 for a poxy 5w speaker bar when I paid only £25 for 2 speakers that produce 6w of power output each, plus a 17w subwoofer, all of which not only look the proverbial dogs, but actually well outperform...

Advantages Great sound quality, compatible with just about anything
Disadvantages Could be louder

...The Creative Inspire T3100 speakers, are a great addition to any PC or laptop. They have suberb sound quality, and allow users to experience whatever they are viewing on their laptop. The subwoofer is great for watching DVDs and movies on you computer, and you can get a really good volume out of the speakers. The great thing is that these speakers will work with anything with a headphone socket. I have used them with my Ipod, MP3 player, TV and even PSP. They aren't just for PCs. They also look really stylish, and all the connecting cables are long enough for you to be a fair distance away from a power point or plug. Definately worth the investment, just for the enhancement of music and films alone.... Read review

Advantages Rich sound, adjustable bass, well made.
Disadvantages Lots of wires, subwoofer is very large.

...Having used only my laptop's in-built speakers for about a year, I thought they sounded great. Then I happened to hear some 2.1 speakers in action and after that my laptop speakers just sounded tinny, quiet and lacking in bass. It's funny how you don't realize how good something is until you see/hear it for yourself. Deciding that I must have some, I scouted around on Amazon for bit looking for 2.1 speaker systems (2.1 meaning two speakers and one subwoofer). I thought 5.1 (five speakers, one subwoofer) would be overkill for my needs and in general were substancially more expensive. I looked at Logitech, Labtec and Creative branded speakers as I did not really know what to look for and I recognized them as being major brands. I chose the Creative Inspire T3100 speaker system as it had some very good reviews saying that the sound... Read review
