The low price of the Diamond card means that this product easily gets the best VFM score. Our Value for Money scoring for the loudspeakers in this review is based on the overall performance scores, the relative features scores and price. Although more weight was given to performance, the low prices of the Creative Labs SoundWorks CSW200 and Trust SoundForce 1200 still help to boost their VFM scores. However, our Editors' Choice goes to the Sony SRS-PC300D speakers as they produce an even response across all frequencies, making them equally suited to playing music as they are to gaming. This chart shows our assessment of the relative value for money for each of the products in this review.
Longer bars represent better value for money.
Products are sorted by price, with the highest price at the top. Where products have the same price, they are shown in alphabetical order. The resulting raw VFM scores are then made relative to the lowest-scoring product. To use the graph, first see which products fall within your chosen price range, by looking at the column of prices on the right. The best value product within that range is then the one with the longest bar.
