 Clarity! July 25, 2008
I use the Creative Lab T40 speakers in the office, and only at low volumes but otherwise am a serious audiophile (I have a home recording studio with professional-grade Mackie HR 824 monitors). I think the T40s are very good. They resolve the sound well (i.e., each instrument comes out distinctly and clearly). The bass is understated, but turning up the low frequency dial on the speaker mostly compensates. If you enjoy thumping bass, the T40s aren't for you -- I think you'll be best served with a 2.1 system (i.e., two speakers and a subwoofer). If you have the space, I'd avoid the T40s also -- for $20-30 more, you can buy a $100 stereo receiver and combine it with two small bookshelf speakers for $50. But I didn't want to have my desk look like a party zone. So for a *compact* system with *clarity* and moderately good bass, this is the way to go.
Creative GigaWorks T40 Speakers July 23, 2008
Great 2.0 speaker system. Impressive sound quality. Only con is it doesn't have a very strong bass, but that is to be expected with 2.0 speakers. A very good buy.
i agree with the other reviewer- good upgrade from the T-20 July 21, 2008

i've owned the Creative Labs T-20 speaker for about a year now and i love it! then i read about the T-40 coming out and wasnt really interested since i am more than happy with my year old T-20's, but since the price was so good with the mail in rebate, i thought why not. so i purchased the T-40's about a month ago and it's finally getting broken in and sounding better every day. i can definately hear the mids and highs alot clearer and it sounds great! the only downside (for me) is that the lay out of the T-40 is different from the T-20 in that there's only one audio jack input on the back of the T-40 and the power switch is also on the back of the speaker, wheras the T-20 uses the volume button to turn on/off power and the aux port is on the front of he speaker which makes it much easier for me to hook up my mp3 player and theres also another audio in jack in the back that i use to connect the speaker to my computer so i can either play directly from my mp3 player or audio from my computer without having to constantly switch cables eevrytime i want to listen to one or the other as oppossed to the T-40 where there's only one audio in jack located on the back of the speaker along wit the power switch. but dont get me wrong, i still love the T-40, but i think it would have gotten 5 stars if they kept te speaker lay out the same as the T-20.
sum:
T-20- headphone and aux in port in front of speaker along with volume knob doubling as power on/off and another audio in jack in the back.
T-40- headphone jack in front of speaker
back of speaker: audio in jack, power switch, and docking station port, which is used to connect a prong like cable to hook up a dock for ipod? im not sure.
well, i hope this will help you in deciding the right speaker for you. but both sound great, both have a clean modern look and both are priced very resonably.
ps: you need to break in the speakers for a few weeks until they start sounding really good. and make sure you have the right cables pluged in the right way, etc.. ive read some complaints where people say it sounded like a tin can, well, some cables if plugged (and or cheapy ones) in the wrong way will still work, but sound like... well....a tin can!
 Great sounding desktop speaker July 15, 2008
Wow, Am I glad I bought these speakers. I selected the "T-40's" because of what the other reviewer's said - and they were right. The sound quality borders on "audiofile" - very pleasing. One reviewer mentioned they don't go very loud. If you're trying to fill a living room or den you're going to have to spend more money. But if you're sitting right in front of you're screen they go loud enough. They're also fine in a small room like a bedroom. Great desktop speaker!!!
Good speakers worthy of all the praise June 28, 2008
I got this for my wife so she can listen to movies from her computer. The build quality is very impressive for this price point. There's reasonable weight which adds to the perception of quality. The design is very sleek and elegant. I just wish the LED is not so bright. Don't use it in the bedroom unless you want a blue night light. Sound quality is very good. Clear highs and realistic mids. Surprising amount of bass given such a small size. I'm happy with the purchase.
