Title: Good and Bad
Product review: I bought these for a 1.25 Ghz G4 PowerMac, hoping to find an inexpensive speaker solution. The sound from these guys is pretty decent, especially for the price. However, 2 annoying issues persist that have me sending them back. 1) When you turn the speakers on, a very loud pop comes flying out. Sounds like a mini-explosion. 2) There is a continous low level "hum" that is perfectly annoying, especially if no music is playing. I've done lots of testing and it has nothing to do with my computer or soundcard as both issues exist if the computer is turned off or even if the X-120's are in a completely different room and not plugged into any audio device. It's too bad, because the sound is otherwise pretty good. I'm returning these and buying JBL Creature II's instead. My foray into cheap speakers is over, hopefully the more expensive, and sheilded, JBL's will be better........we shall see....
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
