Creative Inspire T10:
Boxes meticulously crafted, connectors and controls sound. 1x volume control, 1x tone controls. Front with piano finish is a matter of taste. Volume can be turned up without the speakers booming or rattle. Bass surprisingly round and rich in detail, however, highlighted a bit exaggerated. Middle scarce. Ups act by something placed and poorly integrated in the overall sound, but otherwise quite clean and precise. Suitable as PC speakers and for games. Music sounds a little hollow right to bass / treble-heavy, language. Overall, however, a decent box for the price.
Compared to the Creative T12:
Introduced as the successor to the T10. Approximately 10 euros more expensive, very valent impression. Less than the T10, no protective screen in front of speakers, no tone control (!), No separate tweeter. For the new, so-called. Bass Flex system, ie entire back of the box swinging. This bass for this little box, although "impressive", but even more over-emphasized, dull and not as detailed as in the T10. In the middle even less, treble somewhat softer than in T10. Only suitable for Styler and casual gamers, for music. -> Not bad, but T10 cheaper and better.
Compared to the Creative T20 II:
Bass and height distribution similar to the foregoing. Middle withdrawn, but still present. Thanks to separate Bass and Treble controls can be readjusted depending on your taste. Tip: Bass knob all the way to zero, treble to about "Elf Clock" - is the "natural" Headphone sound closest. -> Overall balance-art sound of all three. Those looking for better 2.0 boxes, especially for listening to music on the PC, which has been more likely to continue looking for studio monitors.
Conclusion:
T10 at best, sound okay
T12 smallest sound a bit dull and not regulated
T20 audible most balanced, no hi-fi speaker, but music
