It's been a while since I posted a review,
as I've been busy with my day job. But I do have
some reviews lined up in the coming weeks. One of my latest purchases is the
Creative Labs SBS A120 Multimedia Speakers. With all the craze of Bluetooth
speakers, one could easily dismiss a pair of
plain old speakers especially one at this very affordable sub Php1000 price.
While I'm very happy with my Divoom On-Beat 500 (which I also reviewed) I just
needed a pair of speakers to improve the sound of
my TV and Laptop, and I’m pleasantly surprised
with this bargain purchase. Let's list down the
specs:
SPECIFICATIONS
System Configuration
- 2.1 system (4W Sub and 2.5 W Satellite with
75db signal to noise ratio)
- Connector Type
-
Stereo Jack
-
Wired Remote Control
Design
and Sound Quality
First off, let's get one
thing clear. This is a pair of budget speakers so don't expect
Bose level of quality. With that said, I’m quite
impressed with how Creative Labs was able to sell something like this at such a
low price. The design is your typical 2.1 sound set up but quality and finish
is actually quite good and it looks like it can last a few years of use. The
only thing I noticed is that the cloth speaker cover could get easily punctured
and that it is a bit of a dust magnet. My expectations were really low so I was
quite impressed with the sound quality that I bought it right away after
testing it. It has a good amount of base although I found the mids and highs a
bit lacking but still quite good given the price. Connectors are standard
but what I really liked was the included computer mouse-looking
wired remote that really comes in handy when trying to adjust the
volume quickly.
Verdict
While this may not be the best sounding speakers
out there, it is probably the best sounding for its price. I was able to get it
for Php 850 but I've seen some deals for as low as Php 699. And at that price
it is an absolute buy if only to improve the sound quality of your PC or even
your TV. I hope Creative will make future models with built-in Bluetooth and
even if they double the price, it would still be a winner.
The Good:
- Price
-
Sound Quality
-
Wired volume remote
The
Bad:
- speaker covers are dust magnets
very informative review am getting them tomorrow my intex 2.1 suck ass
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeletePlanning to buy this.
ReplyDeletealready booked
ReplyDeleteVery good speaker for the price i bought it at pc express for 995 and it's a steal. Sound quality is actually very good. I found it to be a bit lacking in terms of bass. But im using it for pc so i adjusted the output from the settings to boost the output of the bass and guess what? It became perfect. Manufacturers usually lower the bass to encourage you to take the more expensive one but if youre on PC you can adjust it on the fly via audio driver program. Soo goood wahahaha xD
ReplyDeleteDecided to get this today instead of the SBS A350 to save some money. I actually prefer the design of the A120 to the A350 as well.

ReplyDeletebest speaker 2020
The best array of audio or best value studio headphones video components will let you down if matched with poor-quality speakers.
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly, the outside environment poses a lot of risk to the speakers. If you decide to use general speakers, dcm subwoofer you will have to protect them well against its worst enemy that is water.
