The above information were obtained from the box containing the product.
I have been using this Creative SBS 300 for 4 months, before which I had Creative 2.0 channel speaker.
I use my PC for hearing Music, watching movies.I do them a lot and I love it.I always waited for a best product for good music experience, and this product suited me the best.
There are no problems with this product till this day.The bass which the speaker amplifies and gives out is excellent.Just by adjusting the bass control you can acheive better bass .Fact is that till this day I have only raised to 20% of the adjustable bass control and I am fully satisfied with the output.
You can switch on or off the speaker, by the power-volume switch in the satellite speaker(right).Both power and volume are controlled in the same switch.The Bass control switch is located at the sub woofer box.This control is responsible for bass adjustments.
You dont need to worry about the magnetic field caused by the speakers magnet(some users may have experienced problems with monitor display or other electronic product signal interference when using cheap speakers)The speakers are well magnetically sheilded, so that you can keep very close to monitor or any other electronic product.
Coming to the sound experience, this speaker is one among the best products of Creative. It offers excellent music experience.I use Windows Media Player(Please read my review which has been posted already) which offers excellent audio/video.WMP is one of the the best product that Microsoft offers.As this product(SBS 300) has subwoofer which has excellent output you can turn on the WOW/Truebass effects that are in WMP enhancements.When both WMP and Creative speakers combine the form the best part.If you have Windows MCE 2005, Windows Vista(Ultimate, Home premium), Windows 7(Ultimate, Professional, Home) to get best Media center experience go for Creative speakers.
Well how about gaming? Grand Theft Auto series, Need for Speed series, Age of mythology, Age of Empires, Project IGI, Wolverine etc. whatever you play, will you feel good if you play with a poor device audio? Definetly not! If you want to gain the real thunderous gaming experience, get a Creative speaker!
Well does this speaker is suitable for PC alone? Definetly not! Do you have a CD MP3 player? Creative ZEN player? Laptop? or even cellphone? any one of these? you can connect any of them, because the input of the speaker is made from an ordinary 3.5mm Stereo jack. I have used my Sony ericsson G502(Please read my review which has been posted already) with these speakers, and once again it has proved to be the excellent.(To use Sony Ericsson phone connect to the speakers you must have a headset of detachable type such as HPM-64 where your headset can be detached from the wire connecting to cell phone)
When we users buy any product, we use to know reviews of various brands of the product we buy.Isn`t?
I too made a little survey about what speaker to buy.Those results are as folows:
There were may brands Zebronics, Tech-com, Logitech etc.But all were not upto my expetations.Cause these speakers were not excellent when their bass effect was compared.Tech-com was found excellent when you go for Home theatre 5.1.So I went to Creative again.I already had Creative so I knew it would be a best product.When I reviwed, i found that there were 3 products under 2.1 channel.
Those 3 were SBS 100.SBS 200, SBS 300.Another brand was there SBS 380 which was not available at my time of buying.
SBS100: If your budget is Approximately nearing Rs1000, this is that speaker.This costs around Rs900+.This is down firing woofer type, the woofer will be facing down the floor were it rests, so the sound will be reflected causing a extra bass effect.Very simple, compact model.Suitable for low budget.
SBS 200: Same as SBS 300 just the Bass control misses in this series.Costs around Rs1350+
SBS 300: Same as SBS 200 but with Bass control. Costs around Rs1450+
I recomend you this product without any doubt, cause it does not have any negative aspects. You will surely get 100% satisfaction.
