Cons: Le prix relativement élevéSystème seulement 2.1Le subwoofer est énorme
Pros: Son d'excellente qualitéConfection robusteInstallation simpleManette de controle convivialeGarantie de 2 ans Comment:
J'ai acheté ce système Corsair SP2500 en remplacement d'un système Altec Lansing qui m'a admirablement bien servi pendant plus de 7 ans. J'ai été très satisfait de mon achat jusqu'à tout dernièrement alors que subitement le subwoofer à tout simplement cessé de fonctionner. Les satellites fonctionnent toujours bien et la manette aussi toutefois plus aucun son n'est produit par le subwoofer. J'ai donc contacté par email Corsair et comme le produit est garantie 2 ans, Corsair m'a émis un RMA. Ce qui me fait chier c'est que je dois retourner tout l'ensemble, une boite énorme qui pèse 30 livres, en Californie USA à mes frais. Il m'en coûte $ 95.00 de poste Canada à partir de chez moi (Québec) pour retourner mon système SP2500 chez Corsair pour une réparation ou un remplacement alors que je l'ai payé moins de $200 il y a 7 mois...je trouve cela un peu cher pour un produit garantie. |

Imaging, remote control, appears good. sound high quality, total output, plastic speaker situations, cables are to quick. I have to say for the price tag there are much greater options obtainable. They do have extremely very good imaging but the sound high quality is just not there. The total subwoofer output is weak and the satellite cables want to be longer. These will most likely be given to 1 of my young children and replaced with a Klipsch two.1 Pro Media units for 贄 cheaper price and significantly greater sound high quality & total output. |

Delighted with the new Corsair SP2500 technique, definitely the very best Pc speakers I’ve ever owned. The hook up was straightforward and as quickly as I turned it on…wow! The mid to high variety sound is amazingly crisp and clear and the bass performance of the subwoofer is completely fantastic. For gaming, watching films or listening to music, and the sound excellent is impressive. Plus, I genuinely like the way Corsair created the volume manage, looks like a mouse and truly cool, separate controls for mid to high variety and subwoofer, incredibly simple to adjust, and I can plug my headphones appropriate into the controller, which is a good function for me. If you’re searching for higher high quality sound, give this method a shot, you won’t be disappointed. Woofer box is large...would've preferred a little smaller. |

Well it has great audio for gaming that’s about it. I would give it a 9 out of ten in gaming audio. It seriously immerses the user in games. Short cables, not for audiophiles in music its rating drops severely three out of ten. Place it in reference mode, set program to none and pop in a lossless flac file to play and it sounds horrible u have do some tweaking to get it decent. Under no circumstances comes up par with reference monitor headphones. If u use reference headphones that expense $$$ then it will under no circumstances come close to what u hear from those. Now corsair recommends playing with EQ due to the fact it sounds superior with specific settings, this is true. But why would an audiophile bother undertaking a lossless rip if he plans to play with EQ. U might as effectively just accomplished a non lossless rip and save u problems. Some thing else I want to point out is paper cones, now paper is excellent if the cone is properly designed; now the poor part is how susceptible it is to moisture which can have a unfavorable impact on the audio quality. Bass is lacking in punch (u can’t really feel the bass). Some songs the vocals are greater in volume than ought to be and the background music is so low in volume lvl and this in reference mode (it’s like reverse karaoke mode u play the background music). Yes, the rip is lossless and sound totally various when I plug in my monitor headphones which price $$$. In conclusion I very advise for gamming, for the audiophile it’s not advised and ur better off with bookshelf speakers. |

Cons: satellite connections have high risk of being broken because of the thin wires.
Pros: Great sound quality Comment:
Out of the box sounds good. This system will need a burn in and a sound card would definitely make this sound really good. I'm playing it from my laptop right now, and the sound obviously isn't too great.I have had the competitor Logitech z623 and I can say that the sound quality of the sp2500 is one step better than the z623's. Bass is more crisp and highs are clear. There is less distortion when the volume is cranked up. |

Nice sound compared to other similarly priced speakers. I've listened to quite a few before choosing this one. Was fairly diappointed with the Klipsh and Logitech and decided on the Corsair. Very happy with this purchase at $159 with the MIR. |

Comment:
Breakout handle box lets you set distinct system for listening form, equalizer and EQ.Has Very good deep rich bass and the satellites give excellent surround sound.Speaker stands to help push sound angles for better acoustics.Sattelite speakers and the subwoofer are built really sturdy. No toslink digital connectionValue is a small steepWhen used with dolby digital codec distortion happens I think the speakers are rather excellent but I will up date once I have hooked them up by way of an independent sound card verses onboard audio as I was a little unimpressed, just expected a little a lot more forom the pricing and corsair. |

Comment:
can turn up loud, and the manage unit is fairly good. has three inputs- one on the back of the manage unit (mini plug style), and 2 on the back of the sub (one mini plug, one particular rca style). satellite speakers arn't also large and are 2 way. for the cost, i expected far far more sound high quality. the high range was mediocre at greatest, in particular considering that the speakers are 2 way (each containing a tweeter and midrange). i have heard bookshelf speakers with far better clarity. you can only adjust subwoofer level- not the higher range which is reserved for a preset eq. for pc speakers, they are ok, but i have observed computer speakers for much less than half the price tag with much better sound. this seems to be built for volume, not excellent. possibly corsair ought to have consulted some correct audiophiles and professionals to make this. if all you want is loud volume, then these are your way overpriced choice. i tried just about every type of music (including games) and i just was unimpressed. confident it's fantastic sound, but not wonderful. commit half the price tag and get anything just as great. Manufacturer Response:This review is surprising and incredibly disappointing to us. According to several independent reviewers, including HardOCP, Optimum Pc, Hardware Heaven, et al we have produced an outstanding set of speakers that carry out vastly distinct from what you have described. My only conclusion is you ought to have gotten a poor unit. Please enable us to recover it so that we can analyze the entire unit and see what has occurred here. We take evaluations like this incredibly seriously and of course we will replace your set also.

Comment:
For their size... they sound okay. But they are smaller than i expected. The tweeters on the speakers can hit max volume and get quite loud devoid of breaking a sweat.The sound stage is quite good, thanks to the very good tweeters. The sub feels Fairly solid... but pretty light-weight overall... Which implies it's not packing substantially in the way of a solid driver/magnetSub is constructed from MDF, not plastic.. which is very good. It sounds Extremely Quite hollow and boxy. The sub sounds wimpy... I just about believed it was broken.... I turned up the sub in the controls... and it was incredibly boomy (not a fantastic thing).. it lacked a lot of defined punch. The sub used in my 10 year old logitech speakers sounds considerably much better. The small speakers also did a pretty crumby job re-creating any sort of very good mids... causing everything to lack any kind of fantastic tonal worth. They are just Also smaller... The whole method just felt really cheap and wimpy when you take it out of the box... and it produces a sound like you would count on... Sure they can get incredibly loud.... but only in a extremely hollow sort of way. They just aren't worth the asking cost. I sort of get what Corsair was going for when they created the technique. It feels like they attempted to take a incredibly straight-forward.. albeit cheap tactic to designing the method. It's like the designers had a quite strict budget on the pricing of components and did the best they could with what they had... But you can get a pair of M-Audio BX5A powered desktop bookshelf speakers for a tiny bit more... and the bass, mids and highs will blow the corsair out of the water... Without having a sub. Or even get the M-Audio AV40s for substantially less and still get superior sound. Audioengine A2s are a lot far better sounding and expense only 赨... If you compare these to other much more effectively identified Computer desktop speakers.. they sound quite excellent... but it's the speakers from M-Audio, AudioEngine... businesses who release SOLID bookshelf style desktop speakers... these are the organizations Corsair really should be searching at to beat. These are just as well considerably for also small. |

Cons: Can't think of any as of yet.
Pros: Awesome sounds, crisp all the way through the levels. Quality for the price, you can't beat it at all. If you don't wanna sped $500 on a sound system but still want good quality, this is it. Comment:
Ordered one and have had it for 3 days, and love it. I love it so much I've order a 2nd one for work, just cause it's that's high of quality. |

Amazing bass, mids, and highs. These are the best speakers for Pc given that the Z-5500. Exceptional high quality just like almost everything Corsair tends to make. I tested, purchased and returned several setups only to pick this 1. You must have a very good sound card for to make these shine. I have the X-Fi Titanium and this setup thumps. Gaming is basically awesome! Listening to iTunes or Pandora is awesome! Purchase this now. You will not be sorry. None so far. Couple this with a high finish soundcard for best final results. |

Cons: base
Pros: sound quality (high and mids)built quality Comment:
Had this system for a while now and I am very pleased with it. it's rock solid; I was moving and accidentally dropped the box with the speakers, some paint chipped off but the sound is still crystal clear. System comes with quality cables yet they could be a little longer. The satellite speakers are amazing, very clear sound even at high volume. My only disappointment is the base, it has a huge 8'' sub but the only way to hear it is to crank the master volume almost to the max which makes it not a true 2.1 system. I would greatly recommend if you want good sound quality but don't like too much base. If you like lot's of boomy base this system is not for you. |

They appear nice. Sound is okay, wants far more midrange. The controller display died after only a couple of weeks. Now it's just an led light with no details on it. The sub woofer is big but the sound is not. I had it turned all the way up, back when I could tell what the settings had been, and it was barely noticeable. I had to use the AC97 equalizer software program to get a decent bass response out of it. Frankly, for the amount of money I payed, I expected a lot more. I wouldn't recommend these speakers until they get the kinks worked out. |

1) Newegg Shipping—FAST three DAYS) This system is packaged properly. This is a good “plus” to the end user.3) Easy set up. Simple to comply with directions.4) Included “angled” stands are efficient.five) I am very happy with the excellent of sound from this method. With games I hear sounds that I have by no means heard ahead of. Music is warm and wealthy with vocals.6) If you are like myself and can\'t tolerate headphones for any length of time, this is the method to obtain. Thanks Corsair.7) I’m waiting for Corsair to market a five.1 system as effectively. Unfortunately, you have to own/purchase a good top quality sound card for this system to shine. That is “NOT” a fault of Corsair manufacturing, it’s more of a truism for great sound from a Pc. The critiques that compare this 2.1 program as well bookshelf speakers are not fair. Bookshelf speakers require an amp, are drastically bigger, and require a lot more distance separation than this system. Of course one particular could generally point to one thing much better, but for the desk footprint, and the expense of getting an amp and “good” bookshelf speakers vs. the value of this Corsair two.1 system, IMO this 2.1 program completely ROCKS.This system at its base cost is really the “new leader” when compared to its competitors. I’ve read the evaluations essential of the value, yet Newegg’s pricing combined with Corsair’s rebates tends to make this method economical to just about everyone. Thanks Newegg for supplying this product at the price I was in a position to purchase it at. |
Exceptional audio with Titanium HD out of the box, even greater with tweaking your audio's supply sound shaping. I'm not a fan of manage extensions on my desk, but this unit has a control extension done appropriate and I really like it. All around, this is very good for music, gaming, anything. 1st: I call for a clean desk. Which leads to the three egg assessment due to the following situation. Very brief audio cables, and they are proprietary at that. I am really disappointed at how this has limited the placement of the sub. Should have 8 foot cables at least. I've no exactly where to place this on the floor due to this shortcoming. Even the energy cord is as well quick, but fortunately a standard Computer cord will nevertheless function even although it doesn't call for the grounded plug. Corsair, I know your staff reads these evaluations and take them seriously. I hope you reconsider these audio cables, and offer to exchange longer cables to those of us who have shelled out best dollar for this superb method. I have a sub 2 feet to my proper, and the cable barely reaches my left speaker. I will even send you a image of my workspace to illustrate how ridiculous it is. This would make a three egg assessment into a 5 egg. I'd rather not go by way of the problems of splicing in my personal wiring to the proprietary connectors. Manufacturer Response:Thank you for your input. This is a new item line for us and as a result a finding out knowledge. Your observations on the cables are very precise. We have noticed the similar problem and have currently place in motion a program to accomodate clients with these cable problems. We do not have a solid release date as of today, February 11, 2011 but we anticipate the updated cables being ready extremely quickly. Please monitor our internet site or speak to client service to determine availability. We apologize for any inconvenience and we'll resolve this ASAP.External Hyperlink(s): Corsair Contact Page|
