Extend Your Entertainment Options The dual RCA-to-stereo adapter lets you connect the speakers to your LCD TV, DVD player or gaming console and enjoy solid audio entertainment immediately.

Review: Very Clear - My wife needed PC speakers that were clear so she could understand people in Zoom conference calls. She has some hearing loss and needs to accentuate certain frequencies. Her Win11 laptop speakers were anemic, as were her monitor speakers and several older pc speakers I had. She needed a set that was extremely frugal with her limited desktop real estate. She also needed at least a tone control. I could not believe how few pc speakers have tone controls these days. And navigating down multiple menu levels within the O/S to adjust tone is very inconvenient. Most speakers I found with a tone control were absolute pigs for the footprint they grabbed on the desktop. It was sticker shock when I found these speakers, but they ticked all the boxes, had good reviews, and I've been happy with Creative products in the past. These do a great job and she can understand everyone clearly. The two niggles I have with these speakers are: 1. After they power down (or sleep) after no audio for ten minutes, it takes several seconds for them to power back up after audio is detected. In my opinion, they should power up almost instantly. Due to the delay, she often misses the first few seconds of audio when she reviews a video or performs other tasks, and that frustrates her. The manual says you can just turn the off and on every time, but that requires quite a reach in her case and brings me to the next niggle. 2. To turn them off, on, adjust volume, and adjust tone controls, you must somehow grasp completely smooth knobs that are recessed so low into the front that there is hardly any of the knob to grasp. It is very uncomfortable to adjust the knobs. It's not a big deal because these are something you usually just set-and-forget. But, if you want to flip them off and on real quick to wake them up, you must deal with these almost ungraspable knobs. Overall, these are fantastic speakers. I am not deducting stars for these niggles. They have great fidelity, plenty of power, they are easy to set up, take up as little desktop space as possible, and they are good-looking. I would not hesitate to get them again.
Review: Lasted 11 Years Updated...AND STILL GOING STRONG! - This is an update to my prior review below from about 6 weeks ago... I thought my speakers were dead after 11 years. BUT, turns out it was totally operator error and I'm quite embarrassed. I seriously thought I had checked, double checked and then rechecked all connections to the speakers, computer, etc. and made sure everything was plugged in. I was ready to hit the the button to complete an order for a new set of these. But in my mind I couldn't believe and accept the fact they would have really completely stopped working. I decided to check one last time before putting them in the trash and sure enough, one of the connectors was not fully connected. First, I don't know how I didn't catch it the previous times I checked and second, the connectors are really secure so I don't know how this happened. Regardless, the speakers are working just as well as the day I bought them and they suit my needs perfectly!!! If you're on the fence I would bite the bullet and make the purchase. These are beyond amazing and a great price for the quality you are getting. I purchased these speakers in June if 2013 and overall was very happy with them. They were a bit larger than I would have liked but to me the sound was good and they are a nice looking speaker. I also liked the wired set up versus USB or wireless. I know many have complained about the auto shut off or standby feature but that wasn't really an issue for me. That is until a week ago when they simply never came back on. I think 11 years is a good run and honestly they still look brand new. While I'm giving these speakers 5 stars for everything I've just mentioned I'm not sure why but this go around I'm a bit reluctant to purchase these again. I'm looking at other options, maybe something smaller but most have a USB hookup. Also, I don't want to compromise on sound but don't want to spend a lot of money and I'm not sure I can find something better for this price. I'm anxious to get new speakers but don't want to make a rash decision.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between these and the T20's? Are these worth the extra $$ over the T20's?**
A: The T-40s have an extra pair of speaker and likely more power for $20. I haven't heard to T-20 but if you think of what you can buy for $20 anymore--they're worth it.

**Q: Is this product a good choice in its quality and it lasts long or is there a set back? I'm just really confused**
A: I have been using the T-20 speakers for 9 years and they are still going strong. I think creative make great speaker for a very reasonable price. I need another pair and so I'm going for the T-40s.

**Q: I just received my Creative Gigasworks T40 speaker system.  I remember reading in some review (can't find it again) that there were 2 versions: 1615 and 1616.  The reviewer said the 1615 were the USA version where the power never goes off in absence of signal and the 1616 was the European version where power drops in a…**
A: The product description says "Comes with a power-saving feature that puts the speaker on standby when audio is not detected, and wakes it up automatically when audio is played." There is a second or two delay when they restart so you will miss anything during that period. I get notification sounds for things like emails and CAN'T here them. They are not heard!!!

**Q: Are the speakers wired together or do they have external sound/RCA jacks?  If wired together, what is the maximum separation distance?**
A: They wired together with about 6 ft apart. They come all set up for a computer with a line fitted with a jack to hooks to the sound card of computer..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid sound in a compact setup
*by J***N on February 5, 2026*

I bought the Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II mainly because of space limitations, and for that reason alone they fit my setup perfectly. I’m using a 23.8” monitor on a roughly 32” desk, and these speakers sit cleanly on both sides without taking up extra space or cluttering the desk. If you’re working with a smaller desk, this is where these really shine. Out of the box, they sound good for what they are. Vocals are clear, the highs aren’t harsh, and the bass has presence without being overwhelming. With a bit of EQ and minor adjustment of the physical bass and treble knobs, they can sound noticeably better and more balanced. For everyday use like YouTube, movies, gaming, and general music listening, they easily outperform typical monitor speakers or most soundbars in this size range. That said, these aren’t meant for critical listening or mixing. Instrument separation and depth are limited, and without EQ the sound can feel slightly compressed or blended together. With tuning, this improves a lot, but there’s still a clear ceiling to how far they can go. That’s not a dealbreaker it’s just understanding what kind of speakers these are. Build quality is solid, packaging is well done, and the included mesh covers and front controls are a nice touch. They feel well thought out as a multimedia speaker system, especially for people who don’t want a complicated setup or oversized gear on their desk. At $140, they’re not perfect, but they do a lot right. For the size, convenience, and overall sound quality, I’m happy with them. If you’re tight on space and want something clean, powerful, and easy to live with, these are a good choice. I’d rate them a strong 4 out of 5.
