Advantages: Big, powerful and scary loud.

Disadvantages: Not the best sound quality but you generally wont notice. Its too loud!

Overview
2.1 sound system with subwoofer. Designed as a compliment for the PS2 but can be connected to essentially anything, providing very powerful high bass sound.

Review
I've had my Soundstation now for about three years and let me tell you; it kicks the ass. During that time it has been utterly invaluable. Fulfilling many different functions but always providing top-quality sound. I bought it for less than twenty pounds and since then its been in use almost every day since, still going strong to this day.

The range of ways in which the soundstation can be put to use is incredible. You can connect it to almost anything so it is a very versatile system. Connected to a Cd player you can beef up the sound to the extent it would compete with an expensive Hi-fi system. You can use it a speaker for your computer also.

Generally of course you'll have it wired up to your television to boost the sound quality of your games and DVDs. Home cinema is all the rage these days. To get surround sound of course, you need a 5.1 rather than a 2.1 system. I suppose you could get surround sound with 2.1 if you put your head between the two speakers, but people might look at you askew.

Having owned a cheap 5.1 system that was still more expensive than the Soundstation. Double the price in fact. I was suprised by how much better the Soundstation was. I can't stand hassle so the simplicity of the Soundstation appeals. With a 5.1 (or mine anyway) you've got wires all over the show, you have to wire it up yourself and its still no better than this pocket dynamo. And mine broke almost immediately. I've had no issues with the Soundstation so in reliability terms this is perfect.

So unless you're going to get a decent top of the range system rather than a shoddy one from Asda like I did, it makes sense just to get this instead. Its a beast.

In terms of sheer phonogical oomph this is up there with the best of them. At over 300 watts the Soundstation is punching well above its weight. For the price, this is one crazy ass bargain.

This is undoubtebly a most formiddable machine. I think we've established that. The true extent of its power is such that I have never experienced it at full volume or anything even approaching it. Ti's a big bassey behemoth and proud of it.

At just over half volume there have been complaints from the neighbours. So who knows what would happen if it was put to full blast? Maybe the sky would fall, or the universe would implode. It wouldn't really suprise me. Well actually, I suppose it would.

I can hardly recommend this system enough. Through this; everything sounds amazing. Everything booms ominously. The bass dial is a deadly weapon in the wrong hands. And this is also the main problem. If you're watching or listening to anything that requires subtlety rather than puissance of sound, the Soundstation is next to useless. The sound quality is okay but ultimately lacks nuance.

All told though this is still a bargain. Find one if you can, because I suspect the Soundstation 3 is still way too pricey.

Summary: An affordable, relatively high quality sound system.
