Truly awful for watching movies…beware…
Okay, so I read the reviews for these speakers, and bought them anyway. I was thinking that the guy who said that the mid-tones were awful was some kind of pointy-headed audio…

Wow!
The quality of sound coming out of this System is amazing! The highs are crisp and clear while the bass is smooth and astonishingly powerful for the size of the system.

Dissapointing Experience
The VS4221 2.1 speaker system was purchased as a Christmas gift and when it was installed the left channel was intermitant.

lACK OF CONTROLS
This is a great product so far.
My only complaint is that the remote is the only way
to adjust the treble and bass.

Speaker Review
This is a great system. It’s just what I was missing from my computer. I am big into music and this system has quality sound, and for the price you can’t go wrong.

The combination of the three speakers gives one the experience of surrond sound. They are simply great.
