The fine folks at Creative were eager for us to try out their new GigaWorks T3s, so we checked out the speakers online and shrugged our shoulders at the modest-looking pair. Well, “don’t judge a book by its cover,” I thought to myself and agreed to give them a spin. Glad I did.
Creative’s GigaWorks T3s (available at us.creative online) are a premium 2.1 speaker system with 2-inch cube-shaped satellites on small stands for each side of your monitor and a booming subwoofer (that sits under your desk) using three independent drivers to deliver deep, refined bass out of the top and sides.
Man, these suckers are loud with total power topping 120 watts -- but more important, they are clean-sounding and well-balanced.
A black, wired remote sits on the desk and lets you adjust volume by
turning a knob, connect an MP3 player (cable included), or hook up a pair of
headphones, if desired.

I am a syndicated technology journalist and author. I've spent the last 12 years waist-deep in gadgets, gizmos, gear and games. I'm very much living the "digital lifestyle," whether I'm flashing barcodes on my BlackBerry to board a plane, backing up my laptop's data onto a USB memory watch (Ok, so I know it's geeky) or jamming with my three kids in Rock Band. Like you, I love this stuff. So come back every Monday and Wednesday for new entries.
