The sound affects pressed, hard and dirty. Compared to my bisherigem 2.1 system are here many, many worlds, while this was many years ago just twice as expensive. The 3D effect one should forget, this has other than a further deterioration of sound with me no effect (neither music nor during gaming). The boxes are fixed to each other, but the cable is long enough. The power cable is, however, a little too short.
Fortunately, you can connect his headphones directly to the speakers and I anyway mostly listening through headphones, I will keep the boxes. I do not exclude that I judge here unjustly, is possibly more with a 2.0 system simply no longer there, that I can think of but somehow not.
Conclusion: those like me who uses mainly headset is served acceptable, who really wants to take the boxing purist must already be (also to gamble). Who has desk space and good sound will, which should be from a 2.1 system around times.
