Creative GigaWorks T40 Review

On their own, the T40 are a solid set of computer speakers that won't eat up too much space on your desk.

Creative GigaWorks T40 PC Multimedia Speakers review: Creative GigaWorks T40 PC Multimedia Speakers

Creative GigaWorks T40 PC Multimedia Speakers

Stylish mini-tallboy PC speaker with high-quality dual midrange drivers; easy access to volume, treble, and bass controls; headphone jack; provisions for optional iPod dock.

May be too tall for some tastes; rear power switch and overly bright power light mar an otherwise slick design; no option to add subwoofer.

The Creative GigaWorks T40 is a good choice for those looking for larger than average size and sound in their PC speakers.

Creative GigaWorks T40 Speaker System Review

The Creative GigaWorks T40 speaker system is a great solution for people looking for an upgrade to the lousy stock speakers that came with their PC. With a street price of around $125 in many

excellent highs and midrange performance ; very cool looking desktop speakers ; small footprint

small drivers limit bass response ; does not play as loud as some systems ; low level from the headphone jack

Overall I really liked these speakers. For the money I would like to see a little better low end, but with the slim design of the cabinet and the 2.5" drivers, it just ain't gonna happen. I think this also limits how loud the system will play (although...

The Creative T40 speakers provide the most audiophile-like experience we have heard on a budget speaker system. The sound is neutral and not exaggerated like most of the PC speakers we have heard. While the speaker character may not be for everyone, we...

Creative Gigaworks T40 speakers

Introduction Do you need to get big speakers to be able to listen to music? Do you want to drag around speakers that are 4 feet tall? If not maybe tonights review could be something for you. We got a set of Creatives latest creation named T40 to test....

Nice looking ; Gread sound ; Well packed ; Gold coated connectors ; High quality control knobs

Lacking bass ; Price

I think that this kit might not be the best choice for the 150$ it cost. I tested it with my Creative X-fi Fatal1ty soundcard at various settings and as I mentioned earlier I think that the sound is great and clear even at highs and lows but it lacks...

Expert Review

The Gigaworks T40 speakers are a great product. Creative has managed to produce some great quality audio for a very affordable price. As with most of Creative's range, they probably won't appeal to true audiophiles, but for everyday use they excel.

Powerful and clear mid-range, deep and well defined bass, great volume levels with minimal distortion

Treble can be slightly overshadowed, the very lowest frequencies aren't as well represented as they would be with a dedicated subwoofer

Creative Gigaworks T40 2.0 Speakers

Bigger and louder than the much lauded Gigaworks T20s, but are they an improvement?

Just like the Gigaworks T20s, the T40s are a superb set of speakers for the price. Excellent clarity and a wide sound makes listening to music a joy, bringing the subtleties of all kinds of music to life. Gaming and film performance was also impressive...
