It does what it's supposed to do--provide great sound. I'm a heavy movie watcher and gamer and I really like the sound. A little background--I have a MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and the room where I keep my PC is pretty small, so that is why I went for a 2.1 configuration. The sound quality is pretty good for just $40. Granted, you will get better sound quality and clarity if you went for say the M-Audio AV40 or Corsair SP2500, but you will pay for the quality ($150+/$200+). I was not constrained by budget, but I really couldn't justify spending more--might also have to do with the fact that I used these same speakers for a PC build for my parents about a year ago. Regardless, if you're not an audiophile, then you won't really care for more expensive speakers. For movies and gaming, since I game pretty close to my PC and as I have a small room, it works really well for me. As for volume control, since I live in an apartment, I haven't tested it's capacity. If I recall, when I built parents' PC, it was pretty loud and that was in a pretty big room (at least 250 sq ft).

Great Price. Got this in shell shocker offer. Great Sound despite just being 2.0 (so no Subwoofer), the low frequency sounds come pretty nice and loud enough for a bedroom. I hooked them to my TV on the headphones output and it enriched the audio experience in my aprox. 16 ' x 30' living room. My 55-inch TV has louzy sound. and sit about 10 feet from the TV. I have an old school Gigaworks 750s 7.1 that can make the whole house rumble, but got this to not be over use them. Also, tried this pair with my tablet and got great sound and a good level for my bedroom so I will likely get another pair for this purpose.
