Hercules XPS PC Speaker System 2.0 10 Watt (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Price and performance are almost perfectly with this 2.0 speaker system. The design is beautiful and pleasing and the sound - for speakers in this price range - in order. However, there is a criticism that I can not accept, even with speakers of the 5-Euro class: Remove nearby mobile phones cause clearly perceptible the usual noises (humming and crackling). Close this means to me, if the phone is on the same desk. Only from a distance of about 1 meter are no longer hear the noise. On my mobile phone is an iPhone 3GS, which I also use as a player (on the iPod function) (the cables are long enough to place the iPhone outside the fault zone - only the tables are not ever big enough)

If you look over it (which is difficult for me) you get a low price a nice speaker system with sufficient power for small to medium-sized rooms - or as speakers for the office to Webcasts and listen to the radio.

Details:

+ Low price
+ Appealing design
+ Sound quality that matches the price
+ Headphone and microphone jack on the front
+ Combined on / off switch and volume control with blue status LED
+ Small footprint
+ Built-in power supply
+ Magnetic Shielding (emission-interference eg screens)

- Not shielded from mobile phones
- Fixed cabling
- Piano black finish susceptible to scratching
- Risk of tipping by sleek Hochkantformat
- No symbol / lettering on the plugs (only color coding)

Normally on PCs the inputs and outputs for speakers and microphones are color coded, so that normally manages the correct cabling right away. When connected to an MP3 player or other playback devices, it may be useful to know that the green plug for the speaker / headphone output is determined and the pink plug for the microphone input.
