Product Description
The Creative I-Trigue 3330 2.1 speaker system is designed for users with a penchant for attractive design. The compact satellite speakers with an innovative design have silver membranes to contrast with the gloss black build. The system will bring a touch of class to your notebook computer, flat screen and any advanced audio system. The performance of the I-Trigue 3330 is equally as noteworthy, Creative uses NeoTitanium circuitry to produce results that are notably superior to the results of aluminium circuitry in traditional speakers. Enjoy greater realism and sound depth. The powerful subwoofer is accompanied by two satellites that combine clarity and detail for powerful clean sounding bass. The wired remote makes fo real ease of use for the whole system with easy control of volume and bass sounds.

 Great Sound March 14, 2008
R. Patel
I needed speakers for my desktop and didn't want something taking my desk over and these were prefect. The sound is great; it fills the room with less then half a turn on the volume dial, won't ever need to turn it all the way up. The bass has a separate dial on the side of the volume control, it would have been nice to have the treble too ;-), but for the price I am not complaining. These are great for any computer system, laptop or desktop.
 Spoilt by the remote control November 12, 2007

The remote volume control lets this sysyem down. The sound level is erratic, simply touching it is enough for it to suddenly go loud then quiet again.
 Aviod these speakers better can be purchased for the same money October 8, 2007

Amazon were doing a deal on these speaker at the time of my purchase, and all credit to them where were 10 cheaper than anywhere else on the net
However even plugged through a high end Creative soundcard the Bass is an uncontrolled boomy unbalanced low end, this is also due to the fact the Bass driver and size of the box is much smaller then the previous 3400 2.1 system Creative no longer produces.
As a budget set up for say a teenager or student on a budget who want better sound quality than the standard terrible speakers most PC manufactures supply with a standard PC and if these are going for under the 45 price bracket then there not a bad buy, however for the price you can buy better if you shop around and don't rush into anything.
The irony of this situation is for little over twice the price of these speakers you can purchase the Acoustic Energy AE26-06W AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system.
The build and sound quality from this 85+ set up compares to true Hi-Fi sound quality, the base is rich and deep while in control at all volume levels, plus the satellite speakers are made from iron and weigh about 1KG each, the Subwoffer is about the same size as an average PC tower, just a little smaller then the likes of Dell system towers.
They go insanely loud while never loosing there control on the lower and high end frequencies, I have Audiolab pre and power amps running through Tannoy floor standers and I have to say I'm equally as pleased with the AE's as I am for true Hi-Fi sound quality.
A good soundcard is a must with speakers as these, plus low quality mp3 downloads what ever the source can damage speakers at high volumes regardless of there price, so caution must always be taken with the audio quality when pumping up the volume.
Conclusion: if you want dance floor style bass at volumes which will make the walls rattle do not purchase the Creative 3330's, for the extra 40ish you can buy a speaker set up that'll not only serve as your music station without quality compromise, but will last you for years to come and in the long run save you money in the future.
Do I recommend the Creative 2.1 speakers here, in a nutshell NO!

I have just written a review for my new Sennheiser HD555 headphones, which cost the same as this speaker system. I know that speakers and headphones are very different, but this sound system is a real disappointment to anyone with any experience of hifi. The system rumbles and hisses and the bass is either lost or overpowering.the volume also often wonders around the set level. Most unsatisfactory.
And it's not the sound card because I plugged the headphones into the same card.
Why can't someone make speakers for computers that are as good as hifi systems? My Sennheisers have convinced me that the source is good enough.
 Better form than function... but not bad June 12, 2007

As another reviewer states here - these speakers aren't bad, but they aren't as great as the populace opinion would appear to suggest. The satellites are of limited use on their own; while they handle clean tone acoustics quite well, as the complexity of the sound picks up, so the sound quality begins to take a dive. It's a very similar story with the subwoofer. The unit seems inflexible, emitting a stifled roar when pushed rather than a rounded crisp attack. You can't adjust the crossover threshold sadly, you can only amplify the sound until it overpowers the satellites. I find I get the best sound by trimming in the sub just enough to pick up the lower tones, then using a digital EQ to beef up some of the mid-range. Not ideal, but it's mostly used for the odd MP3 and games on my console. I've also noticed the sound level wandering up & down of its own accord, curious; but given the limitations of the nasty digital source I'm tempted to forgive this.
Overall then; slightly better than average sound, good build quality with handy headphone output, but no aux input.
