Problems after 2 months 
2008-07-13
Great sound, but after only 2 months I get loud crackling sounds and channel cutouts when I use the volume control.
Great Sound!

Great sound!!!
I had a 2.1 system before, but this Creative T20 has a much better sound. Especially because the bass is stereo too (comparing to 2.1 systems which bass is out mono).
Talking about bass, I don't understand what people expected from bass. These speakers DO have bass!!! A lot!!! I think people sometimes mass bass with wall-shaking. Bass is for the ear, not for the wall (actually wall-shaking distort the original sound).
I perceived that the sound tends (specially when closer to the speakers) tends to get better with time.. at the first day sounded halo, but it has improved after 3 days.
Mode than adequate bass, middles, and highs. All sound great! Solid construction too. I have it for 1 month now and I love it!
Just remember to cover the bass Xport when not using to avoid dust..
Quality sound without the boom 2008-05-09
I'm very happy with the T20 speakers. I dumped my over rated Bose set with their un-natural, dominating bass. These have good, natural sounding bass and mids and highs to go with it. They're worth the money.
Simple setup, solid sound 
2008-05-09
Although I like the sound produced by my good old Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks computer speakers, I was tired of all the wires. Wires to connect the two small speakers and the subwoofer and the power supply and the volume control - and no matter how I tried to keep them tied and neat and sorted, they would inevitably get tangled up.
When I recently got an iMac I wanted to minimize the number of wires and cords living on and around my desk. On that score, I'm delighted to have the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse - that means two less cords involved in the setup.
But I wanted a little more oomph (obviously, I'm not an expert audiophile) from the audio and video on my iMac, than provided by the built in iMac speakers. I got these Creative speakers at the Apple store today and they are just what I wanted. They can't rock the house like the three-piece speaker set with subwoofer can, but they have a good rich sound with plenty of bass and plenty of volume for desktop speakers. They aren't wireless of course, but the cables appear to be good quality and are the minimum necessary. I like the controls on the front and also the jacks for plugging in an auxiliary device and headphones.
As other reviewers have noted, the bass ports on the top are going to be dust catchers but I'll deal with it.
Great sound - great deal 2008-01-10
These speakers are a good deal. Great overall sound for the money. I like a good base response. I have a pair of these at work and a pair of Klipsch Promedia Ultra 2.0s at home. They both sound good, but I think I like the Creatives just a little better. The sound is a little clearer at all levels and the base a little stronger. I saw that they are coming out with a new model T40 and I think I will have to buy a pair because the T20s are so nice.
Solid, Quality Speakers 2007-12-11
The GigaWorks T20 stereo PC/MP3 speaker system packs a serious punch. The true two-way speakers contain an expressive tweeter and a high performance midrange driver made from high-tech woven glass fiber. High quality, component-style controls and up-front access to the headphone output and MP3 player input make the T20 a great choice for demanding gaming and music enthusiasts.
Creative's GigaWorks T20 2.0 Speakers - Efficient and Sleek 2007-11-28
Creative's GigaWorks T20 2.0 speakers are efficient, well designed and powerful. While they are a toss up with the Klipsh Promedia 2.0 set, they have enough going for them to make a case. Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0 PC Speaker System- Black Ultimately, I would recommend test driving both. I like the Creative T20's overall performance and design.
Pros
+ Nice looks and high quality cables
+ Extra cable
+ Nice adapter for RCA inputs (TV, receiver, etc.)
+ Decent low-end range and base with above average mid-range
+ Nice more sturdy housing with good controls
Cons:
- Only average high-range sound
- Bass XPorts on top will collect dust
- Creative reputation is not stellar
- Cost is near the Klipsch Promedia set
Creative Gigaworks T20 have nice power with 28 watts and active speaker amplification. The cone drivers and tweeters are excellent, and the Bass Xport delivers nice thump. The bass is clearly not subwoofer equivalent, but nice for a 2.0 set. The sound is rich and clear and can be adjusted via the front knobs. Separate bass and treble knobs allow control if you know how to use them.
These speakers also simply look good. Each speaker is about 9" tall by 3" wide, allowing you to fit them easily around any workstation.
The bass ports on top require you to clean out the holes to avoid dust build-up. And Creative's reputation is also a concern, though I have had no problems myself with these. Still, Klipsch is not immune to reputation concerns either.
If you need real low-end depth, a subwoofer that comes in a 2.1 set is probably the minimum that will satisfy you. Likewise, if you are a gamer or an audio sound editor, you really should be looking at 5.1 sets.
For all other users looking for good quality in a smaller simpler set, this is worth a look. If you are a fan of Klipsh, compare these to the Promedias and make up your own mind. Enjoy.
