Yes, it's true; I almost bought another set of PC speakers other than the Klipsch Promedia 2.1. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I saved up a week longer and bought these. I haven't thought about the other set I was going buy ever ...

Cons: Price, not a full surround system,

Introduction
You can't have a discussion about computer speakers without talking about Klipsch. A few years ago, few could even spell Klipsch, but times have changed. Today Klipsch's ProMedia v.2 400 speaker set sets the bar for all other 2.1...

Pros: very good sound quality, high power, headphone jack, input jack, compact.
Cons: pricey, power switch is on sub, unpredictably unreliable jacks.

I got these speakers as a christmas gift last year and I've been very satisfied with them overall. Klipsch has an outstanding reputation for making great speakers and I knew I had to have them after I heard my brother's set of 2.1's.

Sound...

Pros: Clean, clear, and under control.
Cons: The power switch. The connection.

*Note...I am not an audiophile. This review is written for the average music listener/gamer.* I went to Best Buy to buy speakers for my laptop, and the speakers I had in mind were the JBL Creatures...because they looked really cool. Although ...

Pros: Amazing sound quality, ample power, simple setup and controls
Cons: Wiring, power switch located on subwoofer, customer service irritating at times

When buying a new computer last year, I decided that I was sick of all of the distortion, static, and lackluster bass my crummy $30.00 speakers were giving me. I decided it was time to crank the volume up, not just a few notches, but to the very top. I ...

Pros: Fantastic sound, very low distortion, rich clean bass, sturdy construction
Cons: Green Led is too bright, no remote, needs connectors of the speaker wires

I purchased my klipsch speakers because I am partially a audiophile and a gamer and these speakers are ready and willing for the task. Let me just start by saying that these speakers sound spectacular, but then again they are some of the most ...

Pros: Best sound in a 2.1 system
Cons: Expensive, lacks convenient on/off switch, lame interconnects, proprietary connector

The basics: 2.1 system with 35 watt satellites with a horn tweeter and a 3" cone midrange. Sub is ...

Pros: Impressive price, impressively accurate sound reproduction.
Cons: Country of origin (made in China), is the only potential concern for some buyers.

My experience using this product is jaw dropping. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that bookshelf sized speakers could fill a whole room, (a room without full walls mind you, it's a porch), with mellifluous melodies. Any audiophile would ...

Pros: Really great sound. Home-theater quality on a computer.
Cons: The cables on the back of the satelites sometimes come loose.

A little over a year ago, I started looking for a good pair of speakers for my Apple Macintosh G4 tower. I originally bought it with the Apple Pro speakers but was quickly disappointed with them. So I started reading reviews of computer speakers that I...

Pros: good sound for a small package
Cons: cheap connectors frequently lose connection

I wanted decent speakers for my computer, so I checked out all the options at Best Buy. The Klipsh speakers stood head and shoulders above the other models available. (Note that Best Buy now carries a few more brands of computer speakers, so the Klipsch ...

Pros: loud, klipsch name
Cons: midrange resonance, bright highs, hollow bass, chuffing from subwoofer, insult to klipsch name

The klipsch promedia PC speakers are a 2-way tractrix horn loaded design, similar to the companies popular quintet compact home theater speaker systems, with a different subwoofer system. The satelites themselves have a fiber-composite design ...

Pros: High quality construction with super-quality sound.
Cons: You're gonna have to crack that wallet a bit wider...

I had been wanting this Klipsch setup for quite some time and a friend gave them to me for Christmas! Without a doubt, one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever received.

As soon as you unpack these speakers, you can see that they are very...

Pros: Superb Sound Quality, Plenty of Power, Compact Design, Quality Construction Excellent Value
Cons: Power Switch in bad location, Cheap speaker wire

I went shopping for computer speakers after my current pair went bad. After listening to several different brands and considering different cost points I decided on the Klipsch. To my ears they were better than all the others. I am current ...
