These look great ! And at this price point they're not going to break the bank either. Creative have been round since we were kids so its nice to still see them making quality equipment. Thanks Mike and Kath

[@mikesunboxing]

very true, i was actually a bit gutted when onboard audio became a thing. I loved the audigy and soundblaster AWE cards

Thank you for the membership fella :D

Good review Mike.They look and sound pretty good speakers.Thank you Mike and Kath for sharing your thoughts 👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate your kind words and support. Creative labs and the creative brand have been a staple of the pc market for so long, there was a point where if you didn’t have a creative sound card you were very much in the minority

[@rickh8380]

Nice set of speakers. I like them. Thanks for sharing guys. Cheers

[@uglybob7505]

Excellent bit of kit. Tempted to get some to replace the 2.1 speakers I have in my home office.

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad you like them!

[@mikesunboxing]

i am looking at maybe trading up for the T40 set, not much more expensive on the used or new market

[@-The-Golden-God-]

I've had these for YEARS and they're brilliant. My girlfriend recently bought some and she loves them too. They're easily the best bang for buck PC speakers.

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah they are good value

[@TammieDessa]

I actually have those speakers and use them daily I love them thanks for showing Mike

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes they are really nice speakers and sound very clear and crisp

[@cptwhite]

These are the ones I've been using for 8+ years, great sound for a pair of small stereo speakers.

[@mikesunboxing]

They are really good for the size and price especially on the used market

[@Jules_Diplopia]

Nice to get an opinion on speakers. Sadly I have an odd pc setup, and as a result I need an extra long cable from the main speaker to reach safely back to my PC, about 2.5m. Currently I settle for the Creative Pebbles which are at least USB powered. But interesting and worth watching out for. Thanks.

[@mikesunboxing]

I liked the pebble speakers

[@GeordiLaForgery]

I have the original T40-mk2 from around that time period, fantastic speakers I used them daily for many years but I think the power supply brick finally went about a year back. It's got an unusual power supply 27v if I remember right and can only get a proper one direct from creative. I read the latest version of these t20/t40 have an auto-turn off function to save power which some people complain of.

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah the MK2 is the one to avoid if you are in the EU / UK it seems

[@Wellibob68]

I had a set of these a while ago (also I got 2nd hand) . They were really good for monitor speakers. Impressive for units without a sub.

[@pureplay7071]

What would you suggest that are better then ?

[@matthewday7565]

Somewhere, I still have my old pair of Trust Soundwave 20, they sounded way better than they should for their size

[@mikesunboxing]

old speakers have a lot to offer if they haven't been abused

[@charlesballard5251]

Damn!!! I needed a pair of basic speakers a few months ago and I think these would have been perfect. The ones I have only have logo of "PA" on them. They have a power button, a volume knob, the obligatory headphone jack and... a BRIGHT BLUE LED that I covered with paint. I got them at Micro Center because they were cheap.

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah these are really good or even the T10 model that we reviewed many years ago, still have those here as well

[@Senrab46]

Creative Labs were brand of first decent mini speakers I bought for PC way way back in 90s! Look great and sound great, whsts not to like! Thanks Mike and Kath 👍🐈

[@mikesunboxing]

we also have two sets of the creative fourpoint surround kits

[@Senrab46]

@@mikesunboxing I would be worried about annoying neighbours like you mentioned lol D'ont use old hifi for same reason. lol

[@ronyzmiri]

I still love my old and trusty T10 😊

[@mikesunboxing]

Yeah the t10 are good I still have those here as well

[@charlesbronson1959]

I running two sets of the Creative Gigaworks t40 series 2 and two sets of PreSonus Eris E3.5 they are both amazing speakers , I would highly recommend either

[@mikesunboxing]

thery make some great speakers

[@lorderectus1849]

Creative always make good products!

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes they have a decent track record

[@fabd-tv]

Love mine too. Have had them forever. I bought the newer version for my father and while they still sound great, the buttons are not as nice. Only annoying feature of this model is the intense blue led in your face.

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah the blue led is a pain, i put a small square of black electrical tape over it and it is no longer annoying

[@nick7813]

Yeah these are actually quite decent for the price 👍🏼

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah i liked them, and would buy another set if they came up somewhere, but the mk1's are hard to find these days

[@gremogor]

HI, does headphones work with bass, treble and volume knobs?

[@mikesunboxing]

that is actually a good question, i haven't tried it. I will give it a go when i get them out next. I would think it would.

[@gremogor]

@@mikesunboxing Cool, thank you.

[@jjm380t8]

I made them sound better with my custom EQ settings (albeit to suit my ears and room acoustics)

[@mikesunboxing]

that is often the best way, tailor them to your personal preference, we all perceive sounds a little differently

[@jjm380t8]

im also sick of the idiots on reviews saying they got no bass or sound bad etc, its quite simple, EQ settings, and dont listen to mp3 files lmao

[@sdqsdq6274]

so funny i happen to check creative website this speaker is sold out , then i found out its such a old model , lol

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah the mk2 is the only one still on the market at times

[@lorderectus1849]

The mark 2 you can buy here for 65 pounds!

[@mikesunboxing]

The mark 2 over there have the power saving feature do you know?

[@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

Look's like me old Logitech speakers

[@mikesunboxing]

these are pretty old, like Windows vista era

[@markod7662]

I have the T30s and i do not like them. It is not the quality of sound that is annoying. One can't expect wonders from these anyway. They turn off after a while when there is no sound output, so i have to go and turn them on every once in a while. If there is direct sunlight on them, one can't see if they are off or on. And they are also unstable. I do not know what else is there in this price range but the t30 i would not buy again.

[@mikesunboxing]

The power down feature is a real pain

[@pureplay7071]

You must have something setup wrong because yes they do go a little distorted max volume and I mean just a little, nowhere near how you have it.

[@mikesunboxing]

I think one of the crossovers has gone bad
