The speakers are pretty thin
How is speaker?
I searched around on Amazon for quite a while and looked up reviews on several speakers all across the internet before finally making this purchase.  I had a set of Bose Companion 2 speakers, and they were nice, but I constantly felt the lack of a subwoofer was leaving me wanting more bass.  These speakers sound decent, but the speakers themselves have absolutely NO bass in them at all.  Thankfully, there is a subwoofer with this set.  On the control knob, you can adjust the speaker volume, the bass level, and there is a headphone jack and auxillery jack.  The speakers are pretty thin so they don't take up much space on my desk.  I have the subwoofer under my desk and so far everything seems to be working out okay.  They get up to a decent volume also.  If you are looking to not spend very much money, these will do the job for you.  If you are looking for absolutely awesome speakers, look elsewhere.  I'd recommend theseKlipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black).  I've listened to these in Best Buy and they sound amazing!
