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?

So it's good for listening to .mp3s but not for listening to .flac is what I got out of this.

Can we compare it with Logitech Z625? Which one is better?

Does Creative's speaker designers fail to realize that their Sound cards come with an optical out port so why no optical in on these seems kind of pointless these days to not have one I mean even lowly onboard Audio has optical out

@masterboy stick with the Logitechs they're pretty good and hard to beat at the price

That is a fairly good analogy. People who download FLACS are more audiophile, MP3 users perhaps a demand a little less. The speaker kit is not at all high-end, but mainstream. It sounds decent for the money, but do not expect that premium sound.
