Previously had the T40 II from Creative that I have returned due to a technical error. Had I but known how much are the phonetic differences, I would have chosen equal to the devil. Very remotely comparable!
Clear and audible; Stereo effects significantly; silky highs; frequency response; then something flabby in the bass, but decent for the size! (By Equalizer well adapted)
I suspect that it is probably no truly comparable desktop speakers. The absolute recommendation for those who buy as music on-line and listen effectively beforehand want to get a more realistic impression.
But not cheap! I was thinking whether I therefore depart a star. But they are worth the money - why not deducted :-)!
