I got these for my father last Christmas as he had managed to blow the pair that came bundled with his desktop when it overheated and he has been delighted with them.

He'd asked for speakers as a present and suggested a couple of other models so was really surprised when he opened up these and saw that it included a sub woofer as well as the two side speakers. After spending a bit of time with him getting them installed on brackets under his desk to save space on top he tested them out with some of the music files he had and we were both very impressed with the quality for such a reasonably priced unit.

The sound quality isn't going to knock your socks off but with the subwoofer attached the S220 really can hold it's own against speakers costing twice it's price. It's only when you push the volume up considerably that you notice it struggling to maintain its form and there is some distortion that creeps in. Keep it at normal listening levels and I think all but the most serious audiophile would be pleased with the result for less than £20.00.

One other nice touch is the wired controls for the volume which you can have sitting on top of the desk and is a lot easier than using the slider bar on the windows desktop.

All in all I can't fault this product for the cost.
