Review on Enhanced GigaWorks T20 Series II Multimedia Speaker System by Creative Labs with BasXPort Technology by Amar Amar ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

The speakers would be great if not for the sleep mode. It's not just turning off the speakers when idle - it's turning off even if something is playing, but with insufficient volume according to the speakers! You sit in the evening, listen to some podcast and bam - everything died out, the speakers decided that it was impossible to listen so quietly. At the same time, the volume is not the lowest - 20% on the windows volume control. Moreover, if you do not immediately revive them by turning the volume up to 100% for a few seconds, then they can turn off completely, and to turn them on, you will need to unscrew the volume control on them to a minimum and back. They go out of sleep mode for a few seconds, so you have to rewind what you listened to for these seconds. It seems that the speakers are designed to bring users to white heat. I understand that this is a requirement of the European Union to add such power-saving modes, but provide some inconspicuous function to turn it off - it's just a mockery. If someone has schemes on how to unsolder this mode from the speakers, I will be immensely grateful.

Pros
  • - Compactness - Appearance - sound
Cons
  • - Sleep mode - No separate button for on/off
