Hercules XPS 101

 

PC speakers have sure gone through quite a few changes over the last decade or so. What started out as a pretty limited product category eventually exploded with the addition of bigger speakers, subwoofers and surround sound. Today, there is an...

Excellent look and feel ; Above-average subwoofer performance ; Convenient volume, bass, treble control ; Good selection of connecting cables

Fatiguing treble at close range ; Subwoofer EQ geared for very thumpy bass ; Tough to balance sound at differing volumes

The Hercules XPS 101 could be a serious contender against even more expensive systems but, as it stands, it’s average online price tag of $250 seems a little steep.

Sub-par quality but looks nice anyway

 

This looked good while in the box, even after unpacking. It fit in the usual way: the satellites on the desk with the sub-woofer under the desk. Very stylish, but it ends there. Hookup was horrible. There is no reason to have a corded remote. Ever. The...

Nice looking, but the specs just don't add up to the price

 

I've purchased and used two Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofers. I bought one about nine months ago for about half the price of Hercules XPS 101 2.1 Multimedia Speakers. The Logitech speakers are twice as powerful. The...

Good, but not for the price

 

The speakers look high-end but sound only ordinary. After several weeks of listening I can only give these speakers an average rating, but this is due the high cost. Had these been listed for $75, I'd recommend purchase, but at over $200 I'm sure...
