Creative Gigaworks HD50

Creative's most expensive 2.0 speaker set isn't what you'd expect.

The Creative Gigaworks HD50 2.0 speakers are petite little beauties to behold and they sound every bit as good as they look. However, that small design does leave them very much lacking in the old bass department and for such a high price this will...

Creative Gigaworks HD50 review

Small and stylish speakers for your laptop

Compact ; Stylish ; Good audio performance

No volume control ; Weak on bass

A good set of speakers, but there are still a couple of improvements for Creative to make before these become a desktop essential

Creative GigaWorks HD50 speakers

A decent, good-looking choice for occasional use, but the HD50s don't do justice to DVDs and bass-heavy music.

Smaller than your average PC speakers. Good for both PC and MP3 players. Podcasts, games and pared-back songs sound great.

Doesn't do justice to detailed and bassy music. No bass or treble controls. No headphone jack.

Good for occasional use and podcasts, but they don't do justice to DVDs and bass-heavy music.

Although you may miss not having separate bass and treble controls and a headphone socket, Creative's latest member of the GigaWorks family provides high quality audio separation in an ultra compact body.

ADVC-HD50 video converter

While FireWire, otherwise known as IEEE 1394, has dominated the digital landscape for over ten years now, its days seem numbered in consumer AV equipment such as handycams. Manufacturers like Sony, for example, seem to be opting for HDMI connectors and...

Bus powered, supports any non HDCP HDMI signal, Portable

Australian Macworld’s buying advice. The ADVC-HD50 makes importing HDMI video straightforward. But with Apple now supporting the AVCHD standard the HD50 is squarely targeted at the video professional who needs to import other video formats, like video...

Overall, the HD50s deliver better performance than you'd expect from a pair of small, subwoofer-free speakers. They are best for simple audio like voices on a podcast, noises during gaming or pared-back music. Anything more complex tends to suffer a...
