Giga Works HD50I Portable Speakers for ipod Review

Pound for pound, this is one of the best 2.0 Speaker Systems. The Hi-definition technology really makes a difference and the high frequency sound is super crisp (with the titanium supertweeter technology). The Low frequency is very good comparing to other 2.0 speaker systems but not good compare to any 2.1 speaker system (but that's probably not a fair comparison as since the 2.1 speaker has a dedicated subwoofer which is also huge/bulky). On price, I think this system is on the high range, but then again Bose speakers system are also pricey.

Here are some of the pros and cons.

Pros:
- Very portable
- The high frequency (tweeter) sound is super crisp which is a big plus
- All wire are long enough so you don't have to use any extension
- Very good sound overall as long as you don't turn the volume too high/to the maximum
- No additional hassle from bulky subwoofer and its wires
- Bass is very good compare to other 2.0 systems
- Very nice design. stylish and sleek.
- Looks expensive (oh wait, it is indeed expensive)

Cons:
- The bass is not anywhere near any 2.1 systems with dedicated subwoofer (if loud bass is important for you).
- It will be nice if it is built inside the speakers for even more portability
- Sound won't fill a big room (like a big living room). to be fair, I haven't turn the volume to the maximum because I don't want to take a chance and break the speakers
- Expensive for a 2.0 systems (and though I'm impressed with the sound quality, it is not as good as Bose or Klipsch speakers with comparable similar price)
- No controller to adjust bass and treble (can adjust it from Ipod or Laptop though)

In conclusion, this Creative Gigaworks HD50I Speaker System will be perfect for a small to medium size room and if you want super crisp sound and a decent bass but don't want to bother with a big subwoofer. This is also perfect if you travel and want to take a high quality portable speakers for your Ipod.

last but not least, for sound (speaker) and display (TV), every person often have different preference so I would recommend you to try it yourself in local store etc (and compare it with Bose and Klipsch) if you can before buying.
