Recertified, but like new

Excellent entry level 2.1 speaker system. Frequency response is quite flat with maybe over-emphasis on bass and under-emphasis on mid-range. Not good for large rooms: 5 watts for sub-woofer and 2 watts for satellites is marginal. Would have been nice to have included a bass volume as well as master volume control: Bass distorts easily at higher sound levels.

Recertified quality is good: Boxed as if new, no mars or dings. Only lacks registration card and user manual.

by TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

Alright but could stand greatly to be improved.

A good value. But no bass adjustment knob and doesn't seem to have consistency in its bass response seemingly limiting its potential power. Only has a volume knob and no secondary aux input which is useful when wanting to plug in a phone or something without having to keep finding the aux port for your tv for sometimes just 1 song. When turned up all the way they fuzz out and become extensively limited almost being of no sound at all. But if turned to about 50 percent, they can perform enough to be relatively nice, but without a bass adjustment, or amplification, the subwoofer practically doesn't work at all and sound of overly dense treble. Making it sound generic and lacking. But with a better amplifying system in place giving it the power it SHOULD be working with, the satellite speakers wouldn't have to buy turned up so high and not providing the subwoofer the proper, this system upgraded would perform outstandingly.Read full review

Small 2.1 speaker system, small price, huge quality sound!

This little 2.1 speaker system with a more than affordable price delivers huge quality room filling sound which is clear, detailed highs and even has a pumping bass woofer to boot.

Clear Quality

Really enjoy the A250 vs. other speakers in its class. The 2.1 sound is clear & provides quality depth for the price. The bass is rich enough to rival speakers at 2-3x the price. it’s not quite a stereo system, but it’s also only $30-40

my one complaint is that the 1/8” aux cord is native to the device. I would rather have an aux input to the speakers. in the event the cable goes bad, the speakers will be unusable.

Great big sound from a small package...

I will be brief-this little system puts out big sound for such a small package. Easy to hook up, plays everything just right no matter if it's The Beatles, a symphony orchestra or the Cowboy Junkies and the one-touch volume control works perfectly. Love it!Read full review

Good cheap 2.1 speaker system!

Great speaker system for the $25 or so I paid refurbished, I would NOT buy these for more though. I have two Altec Lansing systems that are very similar, but have bass, and mid-range controls, plus volume. This system, is too bass'ey, but I can't control the bass or mid-range.Read full review

Save your money for a better sound system

Bass overdrives and there's no control. Moderate level volume overdrives the satellite speakers. Underdriven mid-range and treble, while bass overdrives. So the desk shakes from the woofer, but it's hard to hear the melody in mid and high ranges. Also, cannot handle volume as it creates a fuzzzz sound from overdriving the satellite speakers.

HOWEVER, it may be perfect for boom-boom video games for teenagers, since you don't really need mid and high ranges, and teenagers don't yet appreciate sound fidelity.

Fabulous speakers

I had been looking for a sound system for my computer to use in school. The sound was never enough. This system is fabulous sounds like in the movies. The sound is clear and very loud. It is very easy to set up. My students are super happy.Read full review

Nice set of inexpensive speakers

I bought these to replace an aging pair of Altec Lansing speakers I had purchased at a thrift store. The Altec speakers never really impressed me. They sounded muddy and the volume control was failing. These Creative A250 speakers actually sound good. They were refurbished (no box or instructions) but that is OK. I did cut a piece of 7 inch square hardboard and paint it flat black to go under the subwoofer since it sits on carpet. Theoretically that should increase the bass (which is decent). All in all, less than 30 dollars well spent.Read full review
