Very good sound + = Keep quiet noise!

I ordered the boxes as part of an offer on another platform, but it involves the direct purchase through hell. Before I came to enjoy a more favorable stereo system for the PC, and indeed, these were about the Creative T20 II, which was but returned fairly promptly after purchase, since it was able to meet my high expectations in any way. I must say that I primarily listen to music on headphones (mainly products from Sennheiser) and I am therefore spoiled sound and it is very hard, similar services to elicit a desktop system. The system is not really cheap, but I decided to buy - go wrong I could not because I can return back there, if something is wrong, or it is not fair to my expectations. The construction went quickly and easily; neither a USB cable was available, not a jack -> cinch cable, why is practiced at a firm like hell, is beyond me - because with me also pulls no argument that due to the different requirements of buyers there is no makes sense to settle cable. Especially with this system in which mandatory at least one USB cable is needed, it must be accompanied with easy. Anyway, I leave it connected via jack to my sound card (Auzentech X-Fi Forte), connected to the input AUX and once act some music for me. I'm hard to be inspired by something and am, as already stated, computing fussy and critical, but the sound of the system is from the first moment convincing and I can therefore follow various reviews, which testified that the system does more than what you expect has. For me, a perfect, analytical tone that covers even the low end, without being hollow, bumpy or undifferentiated. Sonically to find something in this price range, which sounds similar or better, I can not imagine - if so, then it's more in the field of near-field monitors, which, however, hardly (for a similar price) the depths so covers how these boxes devil.

The other side is the thing with the background noise of the boxes, which is definitely there; But to speak of a real hum is exaggerated. The noise is present, no matter what connection, no matter what volume is adjusted. It audible, but only when the computer is off and no music is playing and that is in my case, not at all the case. If I do not use the boxes, then they are turned off, and then the background noise is no longer audible. When I sit with the head at one meter distance of the pits, it is difficult to perceive even in complete silence; the ear must be already aligned close to the box, if you really want to perceive noise. Moreover, it is in any case not as psychologically meaningful consciously to focus on this noise, since it is thus perceived much stronger. When the system is used normally, one does makes about no head, you will perceive it as good as not.

This is to be my personal view on the issue and can finally even for this price, issue a buy recommendation. Who is predisposed audiophile and a clear, analytical and direct sound in the form of 2.0 preferred is the place to go, or need to poach in higher price regions.
