    Editorial Reviews: It is unusual to see a 2.1 speaker set bearing its name so well; the JBL Creature II has an organic and faithful restitution design that looks so alive. Equipped with 2 satellite speakers from the ODYSSEY brand,  it uses an extremely light membrane allowing frequencies to be produced without distortion and a subwoofer from the MAGNUM brand (rigid and light membrane of 115mm in diameter for the most powerful speakers). The Creature II is discretely integrated with control buttons on the subwoofer and on the right satellite. If you wish to offer your PC a high quality sound with an unusual look, then the Creature was designed for you.

    Summary: ok, but all treble and bass
    Comment: I have to admit, I should have seen this coming when I saw the size of the speakers. The two tweeters are tiny little things, and are paired with a monster of a subwoofer. It all looks quite cool, and the setup was easy.

    Actually using them, things become a struggle. The tweeters simply can't push out any mid-range sounds at all, the the subwoofer, well, it's great, but it's there for bass, not mids. The end result is very clear treble, bass that can make your desk rattle, and almost nothing in the middle. Good for some electronic music and dance, but struggles with rock and metal. The worst part is having been using some quite good headphones for my PC up until now, I can hear the missing notes and sounds in my head, and it's driving me batty.

    Still, for the cost, these are good for some casual listening and gaming. If you're looking to replace your stereo with a PC and speakers, might want to do what I'm going to be looking into - getting some proper stereo speakers and an amp.

    Summary: Brillaint Speakers!! Well worth the money!!
    Comment: If you want excellent speakers with style, great sound and just plain 'kick ass' written on them, these are the ones to own. When I first started rooting around for speakers with excellent sound and style, all I was getting was either speakers with great sound but looked awful. Or exactly the opposite, so when I happened to stumble upon these little beauties, I can say that I instantly fell in love with their sleek, laptop-colour matching look. But then I wondered for a moment, 'such sleek, nicely shaped, shiney speakers can't be good in sound also can they? No it'd be too good to be true, they have to have one fault'. And I knew that if they sounded bad, I couldn't get them, no matter how pretty they were.

    However after reading reviews and seeing the star rating I decided that these were the speakers for me, luckily managing to get them for £49.00 (now they're £69) for some unknown reason, I think they were on sale at the time ^^;;
    But moving on, I received the speakers and to my amazement of the size of the box, the middle peice was bigger than I'd thought, which now sits behind my laptop. The speakers are small, quite and shiney, the colour matches my laptop and room and I love them.

    But when plugged into my laptop, finally getting it to work due to my lack of common sense ::laughs:: the sound that blasted out while playing one of my favourite songs was better than I'd hoped. It was clear, crisp, perfect and utterly worth the money I'd paid, even if I'd paid the £69 for them I would have still have kept them, they are simply excellent. Whatever music you play it comes out perfectly, the volume is as loud as heck, especially for myself (for whom blasts the music loud enough to annoy the neighbours below her as she sings to the music). I'm probably never going to crank the music up that loud, but still nice to say in case anyone out there reading wants speakers that'll blow their eardrums, not the loudest obviously, but certainly LOUD for such small speakers.

    In conclusion of a long and rambling review these speakers are quite frankly the greatest thing's since sliced bread or whatever you all consider the greatest thing (for me it's not sliced bread LOL.) But if you want loud speakers, sleek and gorgeous design and something to make your sound better on whatever media you use it, buy these, there are none better for this kind of money.

    Summary: An honest recommendation
    Comment: Having anticipated the arrival of my Creatures II since ordering (simply because I already realised how it would transform my music and movie experiences to a whole new level), I received it this morning with sheer delight. Once set up (very simple, even my grandmother could do it) and had my first listen, it did not let me down AT ALL. It certainly did transform my music experience to a whole new level (yet to try with movies). The speakers have proved to provide astonishing treble and especially bass qualities (for a person who is not a sound expert anyway). Of course, it's not gonna be the best ever sound quality you've ever heard as you're only spending 60 quid on it, there are limitations on this set up (maybe not quite covering the whole frequency of the sounds, but it's not really noticeable to a normal human ear).
    Again, as mentioned in other reviews, the design and styling of the Creatures II is awesome. Furthermore is the value of these speakers which really defeats any other competitors with equivalent quality. I also considered getting the Sound Sticks II but price kinda put me off. So unless you have loads of money, the best sound quality you can get under 70 quid is this, I'm pretty sure anyway. All in all, this 2.1 set up has made me very very happy (including my wallet) and I'm sure it would make you (and your wallet) vv happy too!

    Summary: Great sound
    Comment: I wasn't expecting too much from these speakers as I plugged them into my Laptop but I was very surprised at how good they sounded. They work especially well for playing music with beats i.e. house, hip-hop but didn't work so well for classical or blues type music.

    All in all though great speakers if you want to add great sound to your laptop or portable device.
