She has some hearing loss and needs to accentuate certain frequencies. Her Win11 laptop speakers were anemic, as were her monitor speakers and several older pc speakers I had. She needed a set that was extremely frugal with her limited desktop real estate. She also needed at least a tone control. I could not believe how few pc speakers have tone controls these days. And navigating down multiple menu levels within the O/S to adjust tone is very inconvenient. Most speakers I found with a tone control were absolute pigs for the footprint they grabbed on the desktop. It was sticker shock when I found these speakers, but they ticked all the boxes, had good reviews, and I've been happy with Creative products in the past. These do a great job and she can understand everyone clearly. The two niggles I have with these speakers are: 1. After they power down (or sleep) after no audio for ten minutes, it takes several seconds for them to power back up after audio is detected. In my opinion, they should power up almost instantly. Due to the delay, she often misses the first few seconds of audio when she reviews a video or performs other tasks, and that frustrates her. The manual says you can just turn the off and on every time, but that requires quite a reach in her case and brings me to the next niggle. 2. To turn them off, on, adjust volume, and adjust tone controls, you must somehow grasp completely smooth knobs that are recessed so low into the front that there is hardly any of the knob to grasp. It is very uncomfortable to adjust the knobs. It's not a big deal because these are something you usually just set-and-forget. But, if you want to flip them off and on real quick to wake them up, you must deal with these almost ungraspable knobs. Overall, these are fantastic speakers. I am not deducting stars for these niggles. They have great fidelity, plenty of power, they are easy to set up, take up as little desktop space as possible, and they are good-looking. I would not hesitate to get them again. Review: Lasted 11 Years Updated...AND STILL GOING STRONG! - This is an update to my prior review below from about 6 weeks ago... I thought my speakers were dead after 11 years. BUT, turns out it was totally operator error and I'm quite embarrassed. I seriously thought I had checked, double checked and then rechecked all connections to the speakers, computer, etc. and made sure everything was plugged in. I was ready to hit the the button to complete an order for a new set of these. But in my mind I couldn't believe and accept the fact they would have really completely stopped working. I decided to check one last time before putting them in the trash and sure enough, one of the connectors was not fully connected. First, I don't know how I didn't catch it the previous times I checked and second, the connectors are really secure so I don't know how this happened. Regardless, the speakers are working just as well as the day I bought them and they suit my needs perfectly!!! If you're on the fence I would bite the bullet and make the purchase. These are beyond amazing and a great price for the quality you are getting. I purchased these speakers in June if 2013 and overall was very happy with them. They were a bit larger than I would have liked but to me the sound was good and they are a nice looking speaker. I also liked the wired set up versus USB or wireless. I know many have complained about the auto shut off or standby feature but that wasn't really an issue for me. That is until a week ago when they simply never came back on. I think 11 years is a good run and honestly they still look brand new. While I'm giving these speakers 5 stars for everything I've just mentioned I'm not sure why but this go around I'm a bit reluctant to purchase these again. I'm looking at other options, maybe something smaller but most have a USB hookup. Also, I don't want to compromise on sound but don't want to spend a lot of money and I'm not sure I can find something better for this price. I'm anxious to get new speakers but don't want to make a rash decision. ## Features - Refer the user manual below for troubleshooting - BasXPort technology enhances the low frequency response without the bulkiness of a subwoofer.

Are these worth the extra $$ over the T20's?** A: The T-40s have an extra pair of speaker and likely more power for $20. I haven't heard to T-20 but if you think of what you can buy for $20 anymore--they're worth it. **Q: Is this product a good choice in its quality and it lasts long or is there a set back? I'm just really confused** A: I have been using the T-20 speakers for 9 years and they are still going strong. I think creative make great speaker for a very reasonable price. I need another pair and so I'm going for the T-40s. **Q: I just received my Creative Gigasworks T40 speaker system. I remember reading in some review (can't find it again) that there were 2 versions: 1615 and 1616. The reviewer said the 1615 were the USA version where the power never goes off in absence of signal and the 1616 was the European version where power drops in a…** A: The product description says "Comes with a power-saving feature that puts the speaker on standby when audio is not detected, and wakes it up automatically when audio is played." There is a second or two delay when they restart so you will miss anything during that period. I get notification sounds for things like emails and CAN'T here them. They are not heard!!! **Q: Are the speakers wired together or do they have external sound/RCA jacks? If wired together, what is the maximum separation distance?** A: They wired together with about 6 ft apart. They come all set up for a computer with a line fitted with a jack to hooks to the sound card of computer.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Clear *by J***. on December 11, 2025* My wife needed PC speakers that were clear so she could understand people in Zoom conference calls.

These speakers are decent for the price point but I was getting a little frustrated with the sound quality on them. Certainly not bad, but I will say I had these speakers for the shortest time of any set of speakers I have owned in the last 10 years. I am going to use them for an MP3 player setup downstairs so it isn't like they are getting thrown out or anything. These speakers are quite decent. They have some nice heft to them and the knobs have a very nice feel to them. They seem to be quite sturdy so I anticipate them lasting quite a while. I am pleasantly surprised by how sturdy they actually feel. The sound quality on them is quite good, I think I might still be burning them in as they only have about 7 or 8 hours of use on them so I expect it to even improve a bit more. For the price, these are some great speakers. I am not disappointed in my purchase the least bit. I really like being able to adjust the treble and bass on the speakers themselves, very nice feature that I have not had on a set of speakers in years. The headphone and aux jacks on the speakers are a nice touch too, these would actually make a nice setup for an mp3 player in my den, so there is a chance that a second set may be purchased in the near future. For my setup, I lay one speaker on it's side and it sits just under my monitor stand. That is not possible with these speakers. They are HUGE. They are a little more than a foot tall but only about 3 or 4 inches wide. Looking at the picture I did not think that they were going to be anything close to this size. I have one of them standing up next to a laptop that is open and on a docking station. The laptop has a 14 inch wide screen and the highest point of the speaker is slightly taller than that. That being said, the speakers aren't particularly wide or deep though so their foot print on my desk isn't anything crazy they are just tall. I am not using the stands for the speakers at this time but they seem to be as sturdy as the cabinets and they give you some hefty screws to attach them. The cord that connects the speakers together is a little bit on the short side. It does not appear that it can be easily changed either as the cord is not able to be removed from the left speaker. I am sure someone a bit more clever than myself could figure something out, but just straight out of the box it is lacking. It just bareley stretches around my two 24" widescreen monitors. The cord is not pulled completely tight but I probably only have 2 or 3 inches of slack so I would guess the connecting cord is only 3 feet long. I did not use the audio cable that came with the speakers as I already had one run to my computer. It looks like another standard 3 foot cable. Pros: Good sound quality for the price Sturdy Construction Bass and Treble adjustment knobs on the speaker Nice small power cable, it won't eat up more than port on a surge protector Cons: Surprisingly Tall Short cable connecting the speakers together ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology, Black - USB C to Aux Audio Dongle Cable Cord, Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter for iPhone 16 Pro Max/16 Pro, 15 Pro Max/15 Pro/15 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S23/S22/S21 Ultra, Pixel, iPad Pro, MacBook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1860258-creative-gigaworks-t40-series-ii-2-0-multimedia-speaker-system](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1860258-creative-gigaworks-t40-series-ii-2-0-multimedia-speaker-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
