 Set up for a 360? It was a no go for me. November 11, 2006

I'm not sure what the manufacturers mean when they say this includes a "console adapter". There wasn't anything matching that description in the box I received. I assumed it meant it had an optical lead, or at least some means of plugging into the 360, but it clearly does not - there isn't an optical port to be found on the thing, which means the only way to get this working with the 360 is through a separate amp. Eventually, I was able to run the thing through my PC's hoopy external soundcard, but it's hardly ideal, because cables are everywhere and I have to have my PC turned on in order to use my Xbox. And, for some reason I can't fathom, it still wouldn't output 5.1, but only stereo. Switching the Xbox to 5.1 caused the speakers to emit an unpleasant garbled buzzing noise.
Generally, disastrous. The system is probably fine otherwise (hence the generous two stars) but it is not, as advertised, the perfect solution for 5.1 on the Xbox 360, since it has neither optical support nor the mysterious "console adapter" to which the manufacturer's description refers.

Ive always wanted a sound system for my box, and I tell you, this little beauty pumps out more than enough sound for me. When I first got it I plugged in my Xbox and Played a Game, with the added surrounding sound you litterally become inveloped by the game, provides a much better gaming experience. Whilst the instructions are lacking detail they still give enough to get it going. Dont let its size fool you, the sound quality is great and not distorted, well, what I can hear at max level isn't distorted. However there are cables running every where and they aren't massively Long, but still, for a gaming room, its fantastic. I fully reccomend this product.
 Very Good for the price April 23, 2006

These speakers produce outstandingly loud and clear surround sound that is extremely beneficial and enjoyable when playing games and listening to music hence the high score. However they are not perfect. I had difficulty setting them up and i still cannot get the center and woofer to work properly (when i do sound tests they simply act as third and fourth front speakers, this isnt really noticable however excpet for slightly in games). I could only even get the woofer and center speakers to work in the fashoin by messing about the the plugs so that theyre only half plugged in(otherwise: no sound). Another criticism i have of the design is that the wires for the speakers and very long and the speakers come with no means of attacking to a wall or suspending.
Overall i would recomend this item for its quality and price.
