You get what you pay for.
By Vince
Price-wise, this is a good 2.1 computer speaker system. Despite the fact that I knew better, I went ahead and bought this system through Amazon before listening to it first. The sound from the satellites is very tinny sounding, for lack of better description. I have tried to get them to sound decent using the EQ in iTunes, but they still sound pretty poor. I would have returned the system, but shipping was too much to warrant, especially considering what I paid. If you want a cheap system that looks funky and plays loud, but only sounds OK, that is what the Creature delivers. Do yourself a favor though, don't make the same mistake I did. Go listen to these locally before buying.

JBL Adequate sound though not their best product
By Bernardo F. Arbelaez
For the price I got on this speaker set, worth the money. I`m a fan of JBL products and have had surround speker systems from the brand with excellent performance, not so the case with this product, a liitle disappointed. Now for the details .. Conectivity a 4, realtively easy to hook up. Sound a 3 because speakers don`t seem to be shielded, for example these were purchased to use with a Macbook and they are set close to the monitor so you get interference & crackling noise, moved from location a little farther (as much as I could due to space restriction) and still got some noise in them. Volume level is ok. Appearance a 4, the silver model is very cool looking. All in all an ok purchase for the money, they are recommendable, Note: make sure yo have enough space to locate far from the monitor.

Great sound, size, price
By Wade Armstrong
The Creature 2 is priced reasonably. It's also pretty small -- the two satellites are tiny, and the bass unit is manageable. Out of this very practical size/price combination comes sound that is awfully darned good. It fills the room, and you can hear all the detail. The Creature 2 is loud enough to listen to the punk rock I like, but the sound quality is also good enough that I can appreciate the cool jazz I enjoy when it's time to slow things down. I get Creature 2s as gifts for all my good friends and they love and are impressed by them too.
