Big sound, small foot print, sweet look
- Written by Amory B

I love these speakers!

They sound amazing and are worth more than $69.99. I was looking for nice looking speakers that did not take up a lot space on my desk. Something that didn't look funky. I know the Creative brand and thought to give these a try.

I have two kids so that means I can't play my music when they're sleeping. But the T12s have a headphone jack in the front, and when I plug in my headphones it directs all the sound out of the headphone jack and not the speakers. When I unplug the headphones, the sound comes back out from the speakers.

There's also a Aux line in jack in the front for your iPod to play through. I guess this means you don't have to unplug the audio cable from your Mac. Haven't tried it yet.

In my opinion, the makers are cheapskates
- Written by STEPHEN F from ARNCLIFFE
- 29/10/2012
The makers didn't supply a mains power plug bespoke to the Australian market. The mains plug is generic and came with an adaptor. This is fine until you come to fit the adaptor and plug it into a double wall socket or plugbank. The adaptor is so BIG that no other plug from other devices can sit alongside it. So, no room for me to plug in the speakers AND my MacBook into the powersockets at my workstation. This is typical of what I see nowadays as a lazy Apple peripheral supplier who lets the customer be the quality controller. …More

Broke after 3 months! Warranty will make you pay shipping.
- Written by Ivan F from Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires
- 27/08/2012
I bought this speakers because of the wireless capabilities and the price, but it seems that the law of whats cheap ends up being more expensive it applies. The speakers worked well for a couple of weeks and then I started to notice that the power started to fay away. Had to increase the volume until it was in its maximum and I couldn't hear some content.

After three months the right speaker broke down and when I contact the costumer service to cash my warranty they told me I had to pay the shipping cost to send it to them. And its not a small item.

Im going back to wires and respectable brands. …More
