Creative Travelsound 250 White – Customer Reviews
$40 Well Spent
-
Wow...reading the other reviews gave me pause.
If you expect miraculous sound from a speaker that costs $40, look someplace else and let me know because come on.
For $40 this small speaker is handy and sounds fine to me. If you turn it on full blast, yes, it's distorted, but it's quite good at moderate levels. It actually sounds better as it breaks in. I doubt audiophiles would bother with it, but it delivers a lot for its cheap price.9/10/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Pretty good for an MP3 player
-
I am only using this speaker with my MP3 player, usually at work.It works really well for playing music at my desk.I don't know how long the batteries will last (no AC power adaptor included).I am still using the batteries that it came with and they have not died yet after about 2 weeks of use at the office.I don't know how much use you will get with 4 AAA batteries, but I guess you can always plug it in if you have an adaptor.

Value for money? I think not.

They look nice, but that is about all I can positively say. Once you turn up the volume they distort wildly. The connecting cable is tiny and, annoyingly, no power adaptor is supplied. If you are playing your music loudly through them the batteries just don't last. Value for money? I think not.

Nice for iPods
-
I bought this item pretty much for my iPod, as the other reviewer said it does come with a short cord but hey buy a longer one which costs $2 at radio shack. one thing I don't like is that it doesn't come with an AC adaptor.
So far the sound quality is pretty good for a little speaker system, theres a subwoofer which is sold seperately so when you do turn up the volume it does get distorted a bit.
To me it's great for hotel rooms etc. when traveling.7/5/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Save your money,,, I expected MUCH more for $40

I love the looks of this speaker system... but then the fun ends.The audio-in cord is about 8 inches long, which doesn't give you much placement option; the unit is freestanding only, and I had to keep grabbing it while traveling to keep it near the computer; and worse of all, any volume greater than my original pc speakers caused severe distortion... like the speakers were busted already.I listen to a lot of talk, as well as music, which fared no better.I cringed at the sound from these speakers for about 6 hours on a road trip before promptly returning them for a refund.
