Creative A520 Speakers Review

Creative A520 Speaker Review

Creative have come out with a set of 5.1 Surround sound set of speakers for £51.99.

These 5.1 Surround sound Speakers sound great and are fairly cheap.  The Set contains A 15w Subwoofer and 5 5w satellite speakers. To use these in your computer you need a 5.1 compatible sound card, If you don’t have one you can pick on up from PC World for £19.

The audio that comes out of these is very crisp and doesn’t distort when playing loud, bass heavy music. To get the best out of these speakers, you need to play the music with a media player that supports Surround sound like Nero 9 and above.

The in-line volume control is very handy as if your Keyboard doesn’t have media keys. When Playing Games like Need For Speed, the surround sound comes in very handy as you get the feel that the other cars are around you, it’s a similar story with Minecraft. In Minecraft when you are mining, you can tell which ‘way the zombies and creepers are as its like you are in the game with the sound coming from all directions.

So, in conclusion, These speakers are very good and give great audio and are built very well and for £50, you cant complain.
