I set this up to my desktop setting and had some problems with static noise when streaming from the web

Prior to purchasing this, I bought a different sound system (Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II) that immediately was returned to Amazon because the sound was extremely muddy with a lot of fuzzy distortion and noise

They currently make a loud popping/ crackling noise due to a faulty AUX cable or th subwoofer which it plugs into

This one i got from the warehouse is a paperweight that make terrible noise if you can get it to do anything

The noise has not deteriorated at all and I am able to hear sounds in music that I cannot hear with other speakers

Mainly a wire that has come loose in the sub woofer and vibrates creating a very loud buzzing noise even on medium volume

Thankfully my soundcard has an 'entertainment & multimedia' mode where it reduces static noise

These look great in person and do not make any annoying white noise, hum, or crackle like my Bose speakers did

The black rings on the bottom of the speakers will collect dust over time and become dirtyDoes not fare well with amps (hissing noise)

The sound is excellent and volume can go as loud as I like.

Great B A S S

Ultimately tried to return and received a series of belligerent e-mails from the seller about how "this had never occurred in the history of the company".Unfortunately, when buying anything second hand through Amazon you are rolling the dice

So M I D D L E, Amazing T R E B L E, Highly Recommended, Love It!!
