I use these for my DVD player, VCR, HDTV and a couple others. The green versions are for the XBox; these are supposed to be color matched for the PS2.

For the price, you can't beat them. I wouldn't pay $199.99, but for $49.95 plus shipping, you can't go wrong.

AWESOME!!, March 2, 2004
By Justin (West Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
I got this thing about a year ago. At first, it ruled. After a few months, one of the speakers started to make a popping noise every once in a while. I emailed monstercable, and they sent me a new one, just like that. A few weeks ago, one of the ports on the subwoofer went. I emailed them back and they sent me a brand new one. Now my system rules again

Not bad if you don't pay too much, December 18, 2005
By David S Trammell (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
On one hand, the cables, the mounting brackets, overall sturdiness and presentation is really impressive. On the other hand, the speakers themselves just don't sound that great. Especially not for over 100 dollars anyway. It would help if the thing had a treble control, but the amp/subwoofer only has a bass control unfortunately.

The worst thing about it is it's "off" mode(s). You plug it in, flip the switch on the back and use it. Fine. You turn it "off" with the remote and the speakers still hiss lightly. Also this green LED on the front blinks on/off repeatedly while in the off mode. Ok, flick the switch on the back? The hiss dies but the green LED continues blinking... wtf. The light and hiss are incredibly annoying as I bought these (for only 55 thankfully) particularly to use in my bedroom.

The best thing about this system is that it's a self contained speaker/amp system with a remote for consoles. A similar setup (albeit in stereo not fake surround) via the normal route would require a receiver and separate speakers... of course, for the orignal list price of this monster, you could probably buy those and it would sound better to boot.

If you can find these for 75 or lower though, it may be worth it for you. But if you are particularly attuned to sound quality (I have over 10 years guitar and drum playing experience) don't expect greatness.
