I bought this system as part of a Dell XPS 4 gaming system. It was the best option they offered in the speaker department and after reading the reviews on Amazon and other sites seemed like a reasonable choice. My reaction from day one was, "that's it ?" The sound is tinny, marginal at best and certainly not worth the price. It's almost painful listening to mp3's and radio on them. The construction is cheap and plasticy. The speakers have no directional adjustments like angle or tilt at all to direct the sound. I was traveling during much of the 30 return window but just assumed that when I had the time to tinker with them I could tweak the sound to be full bodied and even. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I'm considering selling them on e-bay. Don't waste your money. Even Dell has switched to Logitech on their XPS system offering.
