Pros: Great design, perfectly matches Power Mac G4s (silver) or iBook/iPod (white) Great desktop sound
Cons: Could use more power
The Bottom Line: If you own any apple products (G4, iMac, iBook, iPod) these speakers will compliment them perfectly. They are perfect companions to any desktop

| machinehien's Full Review: JBL Creature II Computer Speakers |
JBL creatures are pretty amazing, tested it with Starcraft, Unreal Tournament, Diablo II and Warcraft III, and the 2.1 speaker system creates a pretty immersive environment and really lends itself to explosion heavy games. The 20 watt subwoofer made my 50lb monitor shake and the mouse vibrate on the pad so I had to turn it down a notch. Volume control is touch sensitive on the right speaker and creates a piezoelectric click for confirmation.
Tried out some DVDs on the G4 and the sound quality was good. Best part is that they liven up my desktop, reminds me of cartoon aliens, or UFOs, or those ghosts from Pac-Man, someone mentioned that they look like a sine wave. The two satellite speakers has a down firing LED which projects a green glow underneath the speakers which creates an eerie effect at night.
Works great with the iPod and iBook as well. For MP3 playback it handles the vast majority of my music with ease. Bass heavy music suffers some distortion at higher volumes but within the confines of your office, dormroom or home desktop the sound quality is more than immersive.
