There's no excuse anymore to stick with those crummy default speakers that came with your desktop, not when Creative has the "Inspire T10" speakers for a mere fifty bucks.

I know, you're thinking "How good can they be for $50?" Pretty damned good, actually. Thanks to the dedicated tweeters, the listener can pick up high frequency instruments such as strings and cymbals, and like their more expensive models, the T10 features the unique BasXPort technology which delivers dynamic bass effects (like a great drum solo).

The built-in headphone jack and AUX In connector makes it easy to plug in your headphones for private listening, or to play music from your MP3 player or any other audio device.

At 13.7cm x 9cm x 19.4cm, they're compact enough to fit on your desk, and they come in a glossy black finish augmented by an acoustically slanted front, making them good-looking as well.
