Creative SBS-E2800 50 Watt 2.1 Channel Wired Speaker (Black)

Before I start, Let me Mention to all of the people out there that I was a Proud owner of Gigaworks S750, Yeh that right.. It got Spoiled for the 3rd time and then I decided to buy another Speaker in low Range... The Reason I selected Creative again because I know what is Like listening to Gigaworks S750.. But let me tell you this Speaker is Nice and Solid .. Loud enough to generate reverb if placed on the corner of a room..diagonally (Ideal position for woofers to be to generate reverb) MAX Volume is 30 but you will stop yourself at 28 (Its Loud enough) Pros: Remote, Sleek Look, Wooden Cabinate Woofer, Down-firing Woofer, SD and Pendrive Support upto 32GB and FM Radio Con: Well I missed the Woofer Bass Control But I am sure its not required. P.S: What you get with 4K - 5K Rs speakers from other Brand, This speaker can deliver you the same experience.

** Packaging & Protection ** ● The box contents were -- One woofer -- Two speakers -- Remote Control -- RCA to '3.5mm stereo' converter cable -- User Manual, Warranty Information Card and something else in Chinese ● The woofer and one of the speakers had a sticky plastic protection that has to be removed before use. The second speaker did not had this and I found minute dents and scratches on that one. Photo attached ● The courier package was not sealed well; it was open on delivery. Photo attached ** Build & Finish ** ● The box is plastic ● Front side is glossy black finish & other sides are matt finish ● Speakers are exposed; there is no protection, but I think this may not be a problem since speakers generally don't face abuse ● Downfiring woofer has its speaker at its base facing downwards ● There are a few buttons on the front like volume, next track, fm tuning, etc. ● These is a LED display in between the buttons ● Overall, the unit has good looks and finish ** Connectivity ** ● There are four input options , all placed on the woofer -- SD Card slot, at the top front end -- USB Port, at the top front end -- 3.5mm stereo input (TRS connector socket), at the backside -- FM radio ● To connect the speakers, there are two phonoplug inputs (RCA Plug) at the backside. ● The antenna for FM is a thin lengthy wire built at the back of woofer ** Performance ** ● I did not power the system up since I decided to return the product ** Reason for return ** ● I had the below basic requirements for my sound system -- 3.5mm stereo input: I need Bluetooth connectivity. All bluetooth receiver adaptors I could find have 3.5mm stereo plug. (Overall cost of a 'non-bluetooth system + bluetooth adapter' is cheaper than buying a bluetooth system. More than that, there are more choices to select from if bluetooth filter is not applied) -- RCA input: The sound system is for use with my TV. So, one more input is required. I can buy '3.5mm plug to RCA converter cable' for around '200 (My TV sound outputs are Optical Audio Out and 3.5mm Audio Out. I don't want to connect the sound system to Set Top Box either since I also watch videos via USB on TV and using Chromecast as well). -- Remote Control: I don't want to run back and forth to adjust the volume or change sound source. Also, the speakers will be installed at a not-so-reachable location. -- No flashy LEDs: There should not be bright or dancing LEDs that are irritating or distracting from the TV experience. -- 2.1 Sound System: I had to take a choice between 2.1/ 5.1/ 7.1 systems, and my final decision was to go with 2.1. I have two audio out options for TV. One is Optical Out which can send DTS/ Dolby audio to speakers (My Airtel Set Top Box and USB on TV can send DTS/Dolby audio to TV Optical Audio Out) and other is 3.5mm Audio Out which can send only stereo audio. So if I use Optical Out, I can enjoy DTS/ Dolby audio if I buy a 5.1 or 7.1 system with Optical Input. If I use 3.5mm Audio Out, irrespective of no. of speakers, I can enjoy stereo sound only. A 5.1 sound system with Optical Input costs many times that of 2.1 system with 3.5mm audio input. So my choice is to stick with systems with 3.5mm Audio Port. In addition to that, I don't see a point in using a 5.1 system with stereo sound input. ● The product description on Amazon said "Dual input connectivity options. Accepts RCA. 3.5mm stereo for computers". But, this has only 3.5mm Audio In socket in real. Photo attached. So, the product description met my requirements, but the product did not! ** Final Verdict ** ● This looks good and don't have flashy annoying LEDs ● Have four inputs- 3.5mm Audio In, SD Card, USB and FM Radio ● Fully functional remote control ● From other user's reviews, I understand this speakers produce good clear sound with sufficient bass ● Since the product did not meet the Product Description, I have returned it.

Pros. 1. Wonderful speakers with blasting woofer. Can fill the room with cinimatic effects. 2. Incomparable bass quality. Can show its effect even in low volume. 3. Cristel clear sound quality to hear each and every notes. 4. Efficient remote control in decent distance. 5. Can be connected with any TV, mobile, and computers with stereo pin and aux cable provided in package. 6. Usb port provided to listen from pendrive Cons. 1. No led display. 2. No bluetooth connectivity 3. Radio reception is poor with given antenna. Not scanning a single station. Conclusion Overall it is worth buying at this price range for music lovers.

It's decent, there are lots of better options.

Excellent performance

One of the output port and consequently one of the speaker has stopped working within 20 days of buying this product. The product support has replied that we do not support in your country (India) Here is the revert- "Regarding your inquiry, we regret to inform you that we do not offer direct support in your country. However, if you recently purchased the speakers we suggest to refer to the place of purchase to receive more assistance. You can also find the contacts of our authorized service centers located in India at the following link (Link removed) Please note that the availability of the service center to repair the product is up to their discretion and might depend on their stock for the required replacement parts." This is extremely frustrating as this is a brand new product and i have no recourse but to waste my time finding servicd center, take it and ask for repair(that too is at their discretion!!) I will not recommend buying this product at all. Utter waste of time and money!
