Creative Labs SBS 245
$20.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Higher maximum volume output than expected at this price point. High sound clarity through mids and highs for this price point. Very inexpensive way to upgrade power output from a laptop.
The Cons:6-foot cable connects speakers, can be problematic for large areas or desks. Bass response is not very powerful, makes certain bass-heavy types of music sound worse. No balance or tone controls at all.
The Creative Labs SBS 245 are a pair of compact and space saving. 2.0 speakers designed to deliver outstanding stereo performance. Very similar to the VS1520 from Altec Lansing, the SBS 242 also offers a relatively weak set of satellite speakers.

The SBS 245, however, offers an increased peak power output (8w versus 6w), an improved nominal power output (4w versus 3w), and a superior frequency (90Hz-20kHz versus 140Hz-15000Hz). The SBS 245 also includes an audio line-in jack that supports analog music from MP3 players, laptops, and desktop PCs. The Creative Labs SBS 245 is priced at $19.99, a $10 decrease from its slightly superior competitor, the Altec Lansing’s VS1520.
