GigaWorks T40 Series II

Creative impressed many people with its first generation Gigaworks T40 speakers so these new versions had a lot to live up to. Thankfully, the T40 Series IIs haven't just succeeded in maintaining that reputation; they've actually gone one step further and surpassed their predecessors. Sure, they're a bit big and you can certainly get better sounding speakers if you're willing to splash the cash but for their price these are without equal.

These tall desktop speakers are a fraction of the price of most bookshelf speakers, but these sound just as good. If a 2.0 system fits your sound and space needs, then the T40 speakers are a great option.

Performance is nothing less than outstanding, having the bass port on top really helps filling the room without overwhelming the other frequencies. You can always fine tune Bass and Treble by playing with the knobs on the right speaker.

Creative’s GigaWorks T40 Series II delivers impressive sound quality thanks to the individual sound drivers attached to each satellite. Distortion isn’t normally be an issue, but it becomes noticeable as the volume goes up. These speakers are designed to be plugged in to a computer, preferably along with a subwoofer for better bass.

so fa so so good!

Great quality and affordable

My users love it. I bought 18 of them to be used as part of telephony system in office environment. The sound quality is great. Highly recommended.

2 years now and still going strong. Excellent value and fantastic bass.

Great sound quality! worth for its price!

Bought a pair to replace my dead 2.1 speakers (Corsair SP2500) which had served me well for 6 years and i did not want to have to deal with a subwoofer due to wires. Set up, including attaching the plastic stands which i highly recommend due to better stability and especially angled positioning for improved sound delivery, took under fifteen minutes. Plugged into my Auzentech X-Fi Prelude sound card, i tasted first FLAC files and a couple of audio CDs, in particular songs from Sarah Brightman, Tsai Chin, Kit Chen, Journey, Pink and Metallica. Also played a couple of tracks from the Lord of the Rings sound track as well as Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and Pachelbel's Canon in D. I am no audiophile but based off my layman's ears, the Highs were very clear and sharp; the Mids carry through very well and the clarity was obvious. Sometimes even too "bright". Bass, while decent and taunt, could not compare to a dedicated 2.1 system, however. Watching videos were nice and if you are watching a Blu-ray disc off your PC, the T40s deliver audio which is actually better than majority of TV speakers. It never sounded "tinny" and it always resonated well with "fullness". Gaming is the one area which the T40s seem to be an average performer, in my humble opinion. Probably because of the lack of a subwoofer and that is no fault of the system, it is 2.0 and not 2.1, after all. Despite that, game BGM and environmental sound effects for "The Witcher 3", "Dead Space" were clear, rich and atmospheric. To say that the GigaWorks T40 is a legend and its trademark yellow cones iconic is an understatement and i wish that i had owned a pair in 2009 and then upgraded to the Series II today. Great 2.0 speakers, especially paired with a decent discreet sound card.

These are really great speakers, I had a 2.1 speaker set up before these and I just love the sound quality of these speakers.

Great sound on a médium sized room. Great value!

The Gigaworks T40 Series II is truly a value for money purchase. The quality of sound that comes out of these speakers are amazing. Highly recommended for people who listen to music or play games. I was pleased to hear the directional sound of my enemies approaching on my front/left/right/behind clearly from these speakers. Gaming has taken on a new meaning for me. Also when listen to the band play, being able to hear and focus on the distinct sounds of each different instruments with their tones and hues was certainly welcome. Best buy ever!

I was shopping around for a replacement for my old Creative T3130 which has served me well for the past 5 years and the Gigaworks caught my eye. Since the T3130 was a 2.1 setup, I was initially a little sceptical about the bass performance of the Gigaworks T40 Series II as it does not come with a dedicated woofer. However the Gigaworks did not disappoint as the BasXPorts worked like a charm, providing deep and well-rounded bass. The midrange performance is exceptional and listening to music on the T40 Series II is always a treat. I am especially happy with the numerous connectivity options as I can choose to connect my headphones or portable media devices conveniently from the front. And if I ever get a PS4 in the future, the Gigaworks T40 Seires II also has me covered with the included dual RCA-to-stereo adaptor. In all, the Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II is a solid piece of engineering and I am very satisfied with my speakers upgrade. Highly recommended!

Good sound quality. No audible tingling vibration even when you play it at the highest sound level. Highly recommended.

The speakers has once again surprise me for the sound quality it is able to project on a working space in office. The bass thumping so powerful that the ceiling board trembles and all these without the need of a separate sub woofer. The trebles need a bit twitching on the EQ to get a more richer representation especially for female vocal. Overall, for the price, it is a 5 star for me.

Great wired speakers and user friendly. Although quite old model but still the sound are amazing and powerful!

Affordable speakers for gamers. No hicks or problems found. Completely worth the purchase.

I was amazed with the performance, crisp and well toned sound quality..i paired it with a sound blaster sound card in my pc and everything sounds well. great also for gaming as you can hear the sound like you are inside the gaming world. highly recommended!

I'm not an audiophile but this pair of speakers are really crisp sounding. I placed it in a bedroom and it sounds great when I'm in the living room. I do not aspire to be a public nuisance so I have not fully realized the potential of this pair of speakers. They can go quite loud. The bass is really quite awesome. If you're limited by space, this is the perfect pair of speakers for your set up. Easy to maintain too.

One of the best looking and sounding 2.0 speakers you could buy. Despite reading all the complimenting reviews, I was still skeptical on how good a set of speakers without a sub-woofer will be. After owning it for a few weeks, I am now clear of doubts. The bass is more impressive than I had expected. If you are using it with a PC and think that your sound card is not good enough, or you are not getting results with these speakers, you will need to couple it with some sort of sound processing software(eg. Realtek Audio Manager), and be prepared to be blown away. The energy saving(standby) feature is greatly welcomed for me as well. After the speakers goes into sleep mode, it takes about a second to wake up upon detection of sound, and not 5-6 seconds as mentioned in some video reviews I saw on Youtube prior to purchasing. The gold plated auxiliary jacks on the right speaker are also very useful for quick audio input and microphone access. These speakers cost a premium price, but they also deliver a premium quality.

Excellent product, just what I wanted. Strongly recommended

Excellent Sound!
