Corsair SP2500 2.1 Speaker System

fantastic sound for the price ; capable of decent SPL levels ; good low frequency extension ; lots of DSP and EQ curve options ; three audio inputs

short speaker wires ; large response hole centered at 150Hz ; sub crossover is too high ; no manual EQ

Corsair has done a fantastic job right out of the gate with these speakers. I am not easily impressed, but I certainly was this time when confronted by the sound quality coming out of a $200 set of "computer speakers." Do these compete with more...

My experience with the SP2500 was amazing. High’s, mid's and low's were all equally impressive. My only complaint from a gamers perspective was the lack of a 5.1 option for better directionality, but even for a 2.1 system in-game performance was...

The Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High Powered 2.1 Speaker System is definitely an audio force, outperforming every 2.1 speaker kit we've tested, and even a couple 5.1 kits in terms of audio quality. The SP2500 kit is extremely well-built,...

The SP2500 is one of the highest-quality 2.1 speaker sets manufactured today. The set performs phenomenally in every listening area, but what makes it worth the ’50 price tag is the astounding performance/low distortion in extremely loud playback...

Great Sound Quality ; Easy To Install ; Simply To Navigate Control Pod ; Preset Program and EQ Modes

Only" 2.1 Channels ; Somewhat Pricey

There is a lot to like about the Corsair SP2500 2.1 channel speaker system. Sound quality across the board, with a wide range of music, movies and games was simply top-notch. The bass produced by the speaker system's 8” subwoofer, which resides in a...

Great clarity ; Great aesthetics (subjective) ; Deep, punchy bass ; Solid build quality ; Variety of DSP settings

Expensive (~$250) ; Port noise at high volume in some cases

So, after using these speakers for a lot longer than I should have, the question remains of how do they perform. As a personal preference, I'm a major user of headphones, but still enjoy a great set of speakers to deafen the neighbors at the weekend....

The Corsair SP2500 2.1 PC Speaker System goes to show that no matter what market Corsair enters they come in with a product that shakes up the industry, and this time it literally does.

If you are a music lover, these speakers will fulfill your PC listening needs. The sound separation is fantastic. The bass does not overpower vocals or any instrument. It highlights many instruments we occasionally do not notice on weaker speakers.

With the SP2500 Corsair has created a 2.1 system which exceeds the audio quality anything else in the same price range. In fact it produces a quality of audio which is better than many other more expensive products.

dynamic range puts onboard solutions to shame ; presentation is first class ; highest quality components used in the design ; well shielded to maximise sound quality

expensive ; needs paired up with high quality components

KitGuru says: One of the finest sound cards on the market.
