http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_images/378/70011378.jpg

on Amazon there are 27 glowing reviews for this 2.1 system and no place has them cheaper than $34 (Amazon.com). Buy.com also offers Free Budget shipping for this item. Bought 3 myself

[Geofferson]

Nice deal...thanks!

[heavywear]

I have these and for xbox or computer games they sound great. Picking up another pair now, thanks

BTW, I paid $49.95 for mine at Media Play B&M

[D.Pham00]

thanks!

[animalmystic]

Will these work with a computer or are they strictly for TV/DVD watching on a home system? I would love to upgrade my current computer speakers on the Dell. Thanks

[heavywear]

I use mine on my Mac no problem. Just plug into the speaker port. Even used them with my iPod

That's funny that they are advertising it as the deal of the day, I bought these 5 days ago at the same price...

[Josh H]

Will work with any thing with a headphone jack or line out (same plug).

Just need to pick up a male to male wire at Radio Shack and it'll work with your PC. I think it's 3.5mm or something like that. I got this for my brother for Christmas and he loves it.

[gmal2003]

Just picked mine up :up:. One question, how does it connect to your XBOX or TV.

[Crate Diggler]

i ordered them as well for the PC. hope they sound as good as you guys say. I figured for $20 and free shipping, you cant go wrong.

[psxfan2]

they do sound great my brother found these at target b&m earlier this year at closeout for $9.99 why he did'nt let me know boggles my mind.

i just bought two pairs for the boys, i did get them a pair of cyber acoustics ca-3090 for xmas, i'll be taking them back.

[pdutta2000]

super deal on these...I went to CompUSA and tested them out and they sound incredible. Can't wait for them to arrive. Thanks for the heads up...my girlfriend's tv is in serious need of some speakers.

[Ozzy's Bat Head]

Thanks for the great deal! I finally figured out how to sign back into this forum just to say thanks! Too bad I'm so cheap I went for the free 7-9 day shipping, but hey, I'm all about the bottom line! cheers

still available at new link: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10322733&loc=101&sp=1

still free shipping even though it doesnt say it anymore.

i ordered yesterday using 7-9 day free shipping. Shipped out yesterday estimated date of delivery Jan 4th. Not too shabby for budget shipping!

[jw2299]

Thanks for the deal! I ordered these to upgrade the speakers in my Mame cabinet.

[GnX18]

Also ordered one of these, hopefully it comes through!

[Luddy]

Would this work with a port. MP3 player?

[Roy28]

Can any of you guys who have these tell me if the satellites have a keyhole-type slot on the back (in other words, are wall-mountable)?

A few weeks ago, I purchased the Creative Inspire T3000 (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10377681&loc=101&sp=1) 2.1 system for about the same price after 2 $10 rebates. The sound is ok, just doesn't have a lot of power - I think the problem is I'm coming down from a more powerful Boston Acoustics 5.1 system that I just didn't have room for anymore.

Anyone have any opinions on how these compare to the Creative speakers I have now? For $20 shipped, I'm probably going to pick these up anyway, even if they aren't wall-mountable (they seem small enough to fit on my desk), but If I won't see much improvement I won't bother.

Thanks for any info,

Roy

if they have a mini plug, if not just get a hold of some composite to mini plug adapters would also work with any boom box or potable cd player.

[Crate Diggler]

i ordered these 2 days ago, and they just arrived. they KICK ASS for $20. They go very loud. i love em. in order to hook them up to my computer i needed a Y plug. Red and White female AV plugs on one end, and a 1/4 inch (headphone male jack) on the other end. I already had one, so i plugged, and BOOYAH,

great deal, thanks to everyone in this thread who said they were good, and to who posted this.

[ylomnstr]

I assume I'll need something like this to hook these up to my iPod/laptop?

There's an auxillary connection to the bass, which is what a lot of PC sound cards would use to connect to it. It would use the same wire that connects your regular PC speakers to the sound card. Just need the 1/8" jack on both sides of the wire. That's how I hooked mine up, no Y adapter needed.

[pdutta2000]

Just set these up last night....AWESOME!!! World of difference compared to the crappy tv speakers. For 20 bucks you can't get better. The subwoofer is a little big, but I hid that behind the lounger, so now you just hear the bass but don't know where it's coming from. Been watching season 1 of 24 and it sounds amazing and the USC game last night sounded awesome as well.

[mugwump]

I'm late to the party but they're still offering them for $19.99 with free shipping just not through the Deal of the Day link. I needed new speakers for my Mame cabinet and these should do nicely. Thanks.

whats a Mame cabinet?

[digitalfreaknyc]

Twas given to him by his Auntie.








;)

[gmal2003]

Just got mine and set it up- sounds amazing

[ylomnstr]

I got mine yesterday. Had to buy a splitter so I could hook it up to my laptop, but it does sound awesome. The sub is definately bigger than most computer system subs. I was definately surprised by the size of everything. You can't tell, but from the pic they look small. My brother now ordered one, and I may order another for my job :)

whats a Mame cabinet?

An arcade cabinet running MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator).

where do you get one of those interested in maybe buying

[kenbuzz]

There are still a few in stock, and free shipping is still available. I just ordered one for $20.99 delivered (incl $1.00 MD sales Tax)

[lordwow]

I just bit on these. Can't go wrong considering I have a brand new TV and DVD player in my dorm room without any speakers. I've always wanted a 'woofer :)

[Dave C]

Thanks to the OP for pointing those out. I finally took the plunge. I had the Xbox plugged into the TV before and these rock!

TV sounds a lot better too, especially on those DVDs where the sound wasn't loud enuff for listening at 5MPH or greater on the treadmill.

[lordwow]

I got mine in on Saturday. Superb quality. The woofer is huge, but It fit nicely under my bed in my dorm room. All and all, probably the best $20 I've spent in a while.

[The Exister]

Ordered one today - price is still 20 clams. Thanks for the heads-up! :)

[LurkerDan]

my compuer sounds much better now...

[The Exister]

Got mine yesterday and they sound great (especially since I've just been using the TV speakers!)

[baloux]

I got the XA 3051 (5.1). I bought it last year and I'm very happy with it. I think I got that for $69.99.

[beavismom]

FYI they are 17.99 through the 31st of January and still qualify for free shipping.
