Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Black Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology - 2.0 for Enhanced Multimedia Experience by Pin Mu Lin แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I understood one thing, no matter how many reviews you read, you can still make a mistake (I understood it using the example of the mumbling Edifier R-2022 boxes). I heard these speakers in the store more than once, that's why I took them. I believe Creative had the speaker cabinet in mind when designing it, as the sound is really dynamic, I would even say "live", despite the plastic housing. 5 cm speakers play bass! Of course, not as much as we would like, but itโ€™s stupid to demand a complete buildup from such kids (this is my yamaha hitting the chest, but thatโ€™s a different class). The phase inverter, brought up, works very well, and thanks to it the bass becomes voluminous (but if you plug it with your hand, the bass disappears altogether, and the mid becomes very muffled and barely audible). The suspension is soft. The middle in general and the voice in particular are reproduced very well (I listened to the concert of the Turetsky Choir and rejoiced!), The high ones also pleased us: the tweeter is powerful, but soft, it does not hurt the ears. The built-in two-band equalizer allows you to adjust the sound. When you listen, you can hear that the case is plastic, it buzzes at 100-130Hz, the room is a panel house (from which I concluded that the speakers are demanding on the room - in soundproof log house rumble is not so strong). The scene is formed in front of the speakers, so the sound is most realistic (again, the walls), both in front of the computer and at a distance of 3 m from the speakers. More than enough power to sound an 18m room. Hardware: asus xonar dgx. Music in all genres from classical to electronic. As computer acoustics - perfect. If you put it in a tree (and change the conduits), I think you can position them as a budget hi-fi. : I glued 4mm stp from the inside + laid it with cotton wool = the hump decreased by 120 Hz, the sound became drier (not so sonorous), the bass decreased, the middle ones were muffled. Well, you never know, suddenly it will be useful to someone .

Pros
  • + Sound, despite the plastic. + Look stylish. + Qualitatively made (case, wires included) - it is clear that the plastic is first-class, there are no backlashes anywhere, nothing leaves or creaks, the regulators are smooth, not tight. The volume control is illuminated in blue, the backlight is soft, in the dark it does not hit the eyes. Translucent grills are easy to remove (I didnโ€™t expect it, even in my hole you need to make an effort). + External power supply (what can not but rejoice: no parasitic noise and background hum). + Even aux is. Well, a headphone jack on the front panel (although I donโ€™t need it).
Cons
  • Rumble (in Ahch hump at 120 Hz approximately, by ear). The speakers have a peculiarity: when they are idle, they automatically turn off (apparently, to save energy . although what is there to save, they already consume very little) - for me personally, when you turn on the music, you have to wait a few seconds until the speakers warm up. As for the rest, I haven't noticed it yet.
