Looking broadly at the PC speaker market it may all seem the same with many makers of these peripherals copying each other’s homework, as it were, with very similar size, features, prices and aesthetics that can leave you wanting, especially if you’ve been using the same speakers for some time now.
Creative is here to break the mould with the T100, a pair of compact hi-fi 2.0 desktop speakers that are filled to the brim with all the features you could ask for, offering a clear upgrade path for many.
The first is sheer size. Despite the overall compact nature of each satellite speaker, they are packing 2.75 inch full-range drivers for fantastic audio delivery across the spectrum.
Don’t let the size fool you as the T100 also delivers on bass thanks to the BasXPort technology to deliver that kick without the need for a standalone subwoofer.
The features continue with your choice of input including optical-in, USB and the tried and tested 3.5mm AUX-in port. Those who prefer to go wireless can choose the reliable Bluetooth 5.0 as our speakers are stuck in the past with purely wired options.
Other speakers are also stuck in the past when it comes to the type of audio that people want. While streaming has made music more accessible than ever before, the crushed nature of the quality and the overall compression has left audiophiles and true fans pining for lossless music.
If that’s you, look to the T100 with its support for lossless USB FLAC playback. This ability to handle the more demanding lossless format right off of a USB opens up many avenues for the T100 in your life, such as setting them up as a standalone way to enjoy music in private, when you don’t want to flood the house with your audio of choice.
Continuing this theme of the T100 independent use from other devices is the included remote control. This is a piece of hardware which more PC speaker systems don’t include, but you will find it in the box of the T100 to control it from a distance. Anyone who has listened to modern movies or TV shows and found themselves bouncing between audio levels for too quiet dialogue and too loud action will love the remote.
If the T100 is within reach, volume controls can also be found on top of the right speaker and a convenient button to switch between input sources.
All the audio tech and functionality of the Creative T100 speakers are packed into stylish black housings with front mesh detailing on the front. This pure black on black look never goes out of style and will fit into any setup be that for a desktop PC, notebook, flexible shared office environment and more. As gamers choose to also set up their consoles on desks instead of in living rooms with a TV, these can also be your sound system for your console of choice.
The Creative family of products including the T100 and much more are now available in South Africa.
