Product Description
The X-540 speakers use FDD2 (Frequency Directed Dual Driver) technology to produce a uniform soundfield anywhere in the room. Immerse yourself in the game using the selectable matrix mode, which automatically creates 5.1 surround sound from common 2-channel stereo sources. The compact satellites are wall-mountable, and a special clip lets you place the center channel speaker on top of most flat-panel monitors to reduce desktop clutter. Use the wired control center to control volume and bass levels or connect headphones to enjoy your games and music privately.

 hmmmm....... September 8, 2008
not so bad,
not bad at all
this one is worth the price here.
 Computer Speakers September 7, 2008
These speakers are relatively modest in price, but seem to work quite well. Easy to install on my existing PCI sound card, and they have a good sound. I have been using them now for about 4 weeks.
 "It Is What It Is" September 6, 2008
For those of you who want to use this for HDTV, I suggest a "Boostaroo," from "Radio Shack." It is a 3 way splitter amplifier. It doubles the
volume of the "540" and evens out the volume between front and center
speakers. It is easy to connect. Just plug the mini plug into earphone
input, then plug the green, black and orange plugs into the splitter. Using the earphone input allows you to adjust the volume with the TV remote. Also using the splitter amplifier, makes it not necessary to use
game control adapter they sell. The splitter amplifier sells for $25.49,
and can be used to boost Ipods, MP3s, CDs or just a 3 way headphone amp.
The splitter seems to add the mids that are needed. Some of the reviews
I read, said the center speaker is to loud. You can add a volume control
to the center speaker.If any one cares, my friend has $$$$$$$ in his
surround set up and I don't hear $$$$$$$ worth of difference. Better yes,
but not for the $$$$$$$$.
Greatest value surround sound September 4, 2008
The only complaints are that you can't have true 5.1 surround sound if you are using the standard A/V (red/white) connectors and that the sub is close but not exactly where you'd really want it. Both are very ignorable... except when something is happening on one of the right or left rear speakers. It'll come from both of them. Quite annoying, at least for me.
I've heard some people complain that the cables are too short and that there are cables. Umm... you do realize these were made for a pc, not a tv/dvd. You could always get extensions, although the quality will probably suck (quieter/static/delay). Secondly who wants to watch a movie and find the batteries run out in the middle of it.
Great System for a PC or small home theater August 31, 2008
This system is very good for any computer set-up, and can even function for a small apartment home theater. The fact that the 4 satellite speakers can all be easy wall mounted makes it even more attractive. Unfortunately, my LCD TV is an odd shape on top which makes the center channel's clip useless. The quality of the sound is great, and the bass is very deep and convincing. The matrix mode is better than most I've heard, and although it may not be official Prologic II, it works the same way and does a good job on ProLogic tracks. The cons are slightly nitpicky, but it kept this from a 5 star rating. The remote is wired, which can be very annoying at times when the volume changes abruptly in the source and you have to get up to lower the speakers. Also, you cannot turn down the subwoofer individually. There is a bass dial, but it also turns down the bass in the other speakers. This is a problem when people live in the floor below, because the sub does carry through.
In case anyone was interested in using this as a home theater, I bought this in addition to a Creative SoundBlaster Extigy, which can be found for very cheap on the normal auction sites, and can decode Dolby Digital standalone (without a computer) from optical or coaxial SPDIF and output the three minijacks that these speakers require for their signal. So far, that solution has worked great and is the cheapest I could find for true surround sound.
