Advantages: Very Cheap

Disadvantages: No Headphone Jack

I was looking for a surround sound system for my home computer, and I didn't have much in the way of money to spend on one. So after searching for a long time comparing products, I managed to narrow my options down to this one, and a more expensive Logitech system that cost just over fifty pounds. I decided to go for this cheaper Philips system simply because I didn't like the speakers of the Logitech. To be honest I wasn't really expecting much from this surround sound system, after all how good can it be when it costs less than forty pounds and some setups I looked up went into the region of hundreds of pounds (and in a few cases thousands!)

Thankfully however, I am very pleased with the results I get from this Philips system, far better than I expected especially considering the low price. Whether I'm watching movies, playing games or listening to music, the sound quality really is excellent (granted there is some slight static near the highest volume.) The speakers are small and neat (though it would have been good if they were wall mountable.) The intrusions are very detailed and easy to follow making setting up the system a breeze. My only real complaint is that there is no headphone jack, but I suppose it's not a great loss.

But overall this really is a very good value system that performances excellently. A few minor omissions that I've mentioned above, means I can't award the product five stars, but if you're like me - on a tight budget, and looking for excellent sound for your computer, then look no further, as this Philips system is actually pretty damn good.

Thanks for reading.
