Great speakers, low price
December 2, 2008
These speakers are a really great value. Low price and the sound quality is very good. The sub woofer also works great. Good for a dorm room where you can't turn the volume up super load... The speakers are great at low to mid sound range, but they do lack the punch for higher volume.
Good inexpensive speaker system

I am glad I purchased the S220 2.1 system to replace a set of older JBL speakers. The separate on/off switch w/volume control, which I have placed on my desk, is very handy. Well worth the money for an inexpensive set of speakers.
great sound for a modest price

I came from a set of $80 speakers, so take my review in that light.
My first impression was that the mids were lacking and overall the sound was pretty flat. After a bit of tweaking of the EQ in my media player, it sounds pretty decent, but I can tell the quality is a bit lower than my other speakers. I'm not sure I like the detached volume control; I'd prefer it on the main speakers, but that's not that big of a deal. You can crank them pretty well too. I think they sound better when they are louder (but doesn't anything?).
For what I paid for these I am happy with them. I would imagine they are a big improvement from any stock set.
Great speakers for a great price.

I am very happy with these speakers. These are a huge improvement over my monitor speakers. The volume control module has convenient microphone and headset ports.
