Sound quality is great, but it misses some midrange. Imagine hearing someone coughing behind you, or hearing shooting in the distance over your left shoulder. It just doesn't sound totally complete when playing a variety of music. I rushed to purchase the DTT3500 when it came out in order to put together a PC entertainment system. Even with the downsides, I would still recommend it (especially since the price has dropped). The DTT3500 Theater really shines when you are playing games, and it brings gaming to a whole new level.
Since I use them predominantly for playing a wide range of music (from classical to trance) and not games or DVDs, I was almost disappointed. The satellites don't always push enough volume, so I have to turn down the subwolfer to balance it out.On the plus side, the music is clear, crisp, and distortion free. That is what it can be like. The subwolfer covers the lower end of the audio spectrum, while the center and satellite speakers are tweaters. While the overall sound quality of the DTT3500 is phenomenal for a PC speaker system, it doesn't match a set of high quality stereo system. Also, volume is another area I found lacking.
If equipped with SB live. Although, there is no much difference in power from DDT2500, the new system derivers smoother and more powerful sound yet for an affordable price. I would recommend this system for hardcore games fans and for some wonderful DVD experiences. The amplifier has 5 nice "faces" and can be held both vertical and horizontal. the system did not contain any softwre with it, which seems a bit strange for such a serious system.
If comparing to the DDT2500 set, you will notice that the diameter of the central speaker became bigger. I got this set for about 350$ when it only appeared. Well, Creative labs brought up to life a perfect 5.1 system, which looks somewhat like BOSE components, and that is good. The amplifier seems to overheat a lot,so I would recommend to ventilate it somehow. 5.1 card then the DVD movies are really good.
It took me about one hour to install the whole set. The system supports EAX and DD 5.1 tech. When I turned on the music I especially noticed the blasting sound of the bass.
I bought this product to replace my AIWA stereo and this product is GREAT. Excellent sound quality and cool looking receiver. Works great with my Inspiron 8000 notebook although I'm not utilizing the full digital effect of the sound system (I only have line-out and SPDIF out). Fits great in my dorm room and cables are long enough for a 14' x 18' room. Oh heck, just buy it whoever you are.
If you're looking for sound quality at low to medium volume, this IS the product. I strongly recommend this product, especially for those who arent satisfied with your stereo. The effect was better than regular RCA cables. The only drawback is that you cant really blast this system (the satellites are loud enough but the subwoofer isn't). I also bought a Monster Digital Interlink cable to connect my SPDIF output to the receiver.
The reason i give this 4 stars is that in order to enjoy the full 5.1 sytem on PC, i have to Creative PC-DVD using WinDVD. Must buy for those who are in booms and bangs. It connects to PC, DVD players & PS2. If you're ready for big booms and bangs, this is the system for you. The sound system is very good and impressive.
I bought these yesterday and the sound just blew me away. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to seriously game, and watch movies. I have no complaints about the speakers, the instruction manual was clear and easy to follow and all the parts were easy to install. Even hooking it into my older sound card (AWE64) the improvement was vast, and now with the new sound card the audio is jaw dropping.
