CREATIVE T60 2.0 Compact Hi-Fi Desktop Speakers with Clear Dialog and Surround by Sound Blaster, SmartComms Kit, USB-C Audio, Mic and Headset Ports, Bluetooth 5.0

My favourite feature of these speakers is that you can hear sound coming through them without removing the earphones. You can switch between earphones/speakers by holding down the surround button for one second but you don't get sound coming from both at the same time which is just who you want it. There's also a handy earphone extension cable which means you don't have to fumble around the back to plug your earphones in.The sound coming from the speakers is of very high quality, although I recommend leaving the surround mode on all of the time otherwise they sound flatter and slightly muffled.The cable that connects the two speakers together is about 6 feet long which is nice seeing as you often get short cables with things these days. There's a slightly odd delay when you raise or lower the volume, it fades up and down over the course of one second rather than instantly changing but it's no problem.These are brilliant speakers with top-quality sound and lots of connectivity that saves you the hassle of constantly plugging/unplugging earphones.

I have to say these speakers are brilliant. I know i've not had them for long, but i've tried a few different speakers and these are the best.The USB connection makes it a smooth sound, none of the slight vibration/thudding noise you get from AUX cables.They are a nice sleek design, functions on the front are great - no real bass control though.The icing for me was the microphone port in the back, so i can easily switch by the press of a button on the front of them between the audio coming out of the speakers or from my headphones.

What I like:- Really ease to flick through the different connection options on the front (e.g. Aux, Bluetooth etc)- Volume control knob on the front is easy to get to- Sound quality is pretty good for PC speakers at a reasonable volume, but you might want a higher end set if you plan on playing loud music/games etcWhat I don't like- They look "ok". Slightly cheap glossy plasticky front which could've looked better more matte in my opinion- Sound quality at high volumes as above

These are good desktop stereo multimedia speakers with a useful range of input options and audio settings. I am using them for PC multimedia - listening to music, video audio and some light gaming all at my desk.# Sound qualityI am no audiophile, but to my ear sound quality is well balanced and doesn't suffer from being excessively bassy or tinny as some multimedia speakers are.There are two built-in preset buttons, one to activate what Creative call "surround" (which seems to enhance the certain lower frequencies) and the other "clear dialog" (which enhances voices). You can switch both on at once which I have found works quite well for music with vocals.Overall, no complaints with sound quality.# ControlsThe speakers have three buttons on the front, plus a volume control. The buttons are power / mode selection, surround toggle (which also allows switching between the speakers and plugged-in headphones), and clear dialog toggle.The controls make sense once you learn them, but I did have to clarify a couple of things in the manual when I first set everything up. The iconography on the speakers themselves leaves something to be desired.The two multi-function buttons (power and surround toggle) rely on short and long (2 second) presses to activate their different behaviours. This mostly works, although there have been a few occasions where they have done the wrong thing due to incorrectly recognising a long press as a short press.Irritatingly the speakers do not remember their last setting when they lose power. So if like me you have to switch them off at the wall regularly you need to cycle through to the settings you want each time you use them. It's not a huge inconvenience, but it does make me wonder if the control buttons will last indefinitely given so much use.# ConnectivityThree input modes are provided - USB, Bluetooth and 3.5mm jack. All seem to work well.There are also headphone and microphone jacks. Unfortunately these are at the rear so not particularly accessible if you need to plug into them regularly. As previously mentioned, you can switch between headphone and speaker output so you don't need to unplug the earphones to listen to the speakers.A range of cables are provided in the box including power, USB-C (plus adapter for older USB-3) and 3.5mm audio. The left and right speakers are connected together by another 3.5mm cable which is hard-wired into the left speaker.# SizeThe speakers are on the large side for desktop multimedia speakers, with a nominal footprint of approximately 9cm wide by 14cm deep by 20cm high. However, the provided cables stick out of the back so the total required depth is more like 16-18cm, depending on how much you care about bending your cables.# ConclusionThese speakers provide good audio for my purposes, and I have plenty of desk space so their size is not an issue. There are a few niggles: ideally headphone and microphone jacks would be at the front, and the speakers should remember their last setup between power cycles. However, none of these problems are major concerns so overall I'm content with them.

The T60s are good desktop stereo speakers for the money with a selection of connection options and audio settings. I use them for listening to Spotify, YouTube and video audio and they don't sound tinny. For my use I find the "surround" sound setting best and I have connected the speakers to my desktop using the supplied 3.5mm stereo cable.Options I haven't yet used are headphones and microphone

It can be connected to laptop with USB, thus taking advantage of Sound Blaster's own DAC rather than the average DAC onboard with the laptop, and the quality of sound is distinguishingly better. Despite the lack of a woofer, the digitised base function offers a good substitute. You have a good enough speakers for games and movies, and the advantages of saving spaces on the working desk.For work, it is one of the few speakers in the market having a TRRS jack for a headset with microphone, which is necessary for online meeting. It has a button to switch between headset or speaker mode so you do not need to plug in and plug out between game and meetings. It has also a button to turn on the function for making human voice clear which is another strength of it for online meetings.It is really perfect for a workstation which is also used for entertainment.
