Philips MMS430 2.1 Desktop PC Speakers

The Philips MMS430 2.1 desktop PC speakers pack a serious amount of punch and include a fantastic subwoofer capable of thumping bass levels.

Outstanding bass levels, funky design, crisp and clear tones, ease of setup

No treble adjustment, mid-tones could be improved

A highly recommended set of desktop speakers with outstanding bass levels, the MMS430 is simply great value for money.

Philips MMS 430 Speakers

A few weeks back we reviewed a good-looking 5.1 channel speaker system from Philips called the MMS 460. Take the center and the rear satellites away from it and we get the Philips MMS 430. Is it just that or is there more to this speaker set? Let's...

Great speakers!

The bass control is not such a big deal as you won't need to change it much. Also, you wont find it in any specs or pics, but the sub is ported. Might make a differance to some people. I think it sounds great! Don't think you could do much better for...

Well ballanced, gread sounding speakers. They have a unique, cool look. You can change the trim to green. Impressive bass out of the little subwoofer with good punch

No aux input. The bass level control is on the back of the subwoofer, making it sometimes hard to get to

Decent Speakers for not a bad price

Good Highs and lows. They are great speakers for something that wont break your piggy bank

The mid range isnt that great. To get proper bass you must set the limiter on the back to a quarter otherwise its to much or distorts

Great sound ; Easy to set up ; Small profile

Speakers are not very well protected by any sort of screen ; That's it

BAD BAD BAD

If you want a **EXCELLENT** 2.1 system for the money (sounds better then most 5.1 systems ive heard with out a doubt) go check out the Klipsch 2.1 ProMedia system! SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY ON THAT 2.1 SYSTEM - YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!

Ehh.. Kind of cool looking

Wow where to start... Well the second I started listening to them I wanted to return them! The speakers sound very plain (like cardboard) and the bass is weak and distorted; my speakers that came with my 1995 IBM Aptiva Desktop Sound more...
