Creative GigaWorks T20 Review
Posted July 22nd, 2008 by Alex IonIt’s that time of the month again when we get great products to review, and this time we got the Creative GigaWorks T20 to please our ears. They are a standard 2.0 speakers solution for desktop PCs that every gamer or computer user will appreciate because they offer quality sound at an affordable price. It’s the best in the GigaWorks brand so far, so you may want to stay on and read the rest.
With a sleek and eye-catching design, with a mid/low range driver and a high range tweeter, finished in smart dark metallic grey plastic with rounded corners, GigaWorks T20 speakers are pretty large. But, and there’s a but, wish they wouldn’t be THAT rounded. Might be a bit unstable. All in all, I like the looks really much, so let’s go on.
It has the Bass, Treble and Volume controls as well as the headphone jack and auxiliary-in (for easy connection to an MP3 player) on the right channel speaker. It also features a twin phono to 3.5mm adapter and a two metre 3.5mm cable for connection to a PC, so you can only imagine that game consoles or other devices can be linked to it, easily.
Though you may believe a 2.0 system without a subwoofer to give the bass that extra ‘oomph’ wouldn’t perform well, you got that wrong. Really wrong. Most of the time the subwoofer is usually responsible for problems involving poor bass and resulting in a lot of cross over between the speakers. This is why the GigaWorks T20 feature a porthole - dubbed a BasXPort by Creative - in the top of their slender, that will offer a fuller sound and compensating for a subwoofer.
The best thing about the Creative GigaWorks T20 is obviously the quality you get for its price. Some $80 in the US. You may want to buy that set of speakers yourself and see they’re great.
