I bought these speakers to replace some older Altec Lansing speakers with a subwoofer.  In short they simply outperform a lot of the more expensive 2.1 speaker sets out there.  These speakers won't annoy the neighbors any time soon, but they produce a deep bass and the sound is very clear and crisp. So if I am listening to music or playing games I am very happy with these speakers.  While other speaker sets with a subwoofer actually have the speaker cone exposed without any protection while this one is completely enclosed.  It may not be important to others, but since you usually put the subwoofer on the floor I appreciate the extra protection. 

Question: Is the sound clear?
Answer: the sound is very clear and crisp
