Creative Sound BlasterX Kratos S3 review

Armed with a small sub and two satellite speakers we'll today have a look at Creative Sound BlasterX Kratos S3 speaker kit. It is small, light-weight and doesn't look half bad either. But will it perform for the 79 USD / 69 Euros it costs?

Not a fair comparison man.
The Z625 are much better:
Optical cable (digital audio vs analog)
Higher wattage (more power)
Better quality materials
But more expensive, it's another league.
Like a Kia Optima and a VW Passat.
Can we compare it with Logitech Z625? Which one is better?

Not everyone wants a set of cans though. Some of us prefer a decent set of speakers...
The only time I really listen to music at home is when I'm doing chores around the house. Rather hard to work in various rooms or on a different floor entirely with a pair of headphones on that are directly connected to my PC by a cable...
That's fair enough, but good quality speakers aren't terribly expensive either. I have a pair of JBL ES30s and an old Samsung subwoofer leftover from an ancient hifi that I run through an old Denon AVR-1911, they're more than enough. That kind of a setup can be had for very little second hand. I can honestly say I can hardly hear any difference between that configuration and a much more expensive rig I use in my living room as far as speakers are concerned. Now, when I plug in a pair of HD650s into it, there is a difference... but that's a whole different ball game.

I haven't priced speakers in quite a while. I'm perfectly happy with my Logitech Z313s... I didn't pay a whole lot for them and sure, they don't sound as good as my headphones but they sound good enough at the volume I keep them at.

I got the Kratos S5 for my dad, they sound pretty good for tiny speakers.
