The subwoofer is much larger than the satellite speakers, measuring 250 mm (W) x 275 mm (D) x 150 mm (H).
The product is built around wooden panels on all corners, with a plastic piano black style fascia at the front. There are three control knobs at the front, for volume, bass and treble. The name of the product is printed in white at the top right corner of the front panel. In a similar manner to the satellite speakers, this black front panel attracts dust and finger prints very easily.
The open port at the front is shaped like a human eye. KWorld have also opted for a backwards firing driver.
According to another image on their website, this ‘reverse' flow cone design will improve bass response. Proof is in the testing however, so we will look into this later in the review.
Like many computer speaker systems, the subwoofer not only supplies the bass frequencies, but it also acts as the control dock. The rear has a power switch, connections for both speakers, and a line in from a computer or other source.
Connecting the speakers is straightforward, which is just as well as KWorld supply no literature at all in the box. Simply hook each satellite into the subwoofer, connect the audio cable to the computer and finally, the power cable to a plug socket.
While aesthetics are very much a personal choice we don't think the speakers really look that impressive. To be fair, with a retail price of £35 compromises have had to be made.
I spent more for dinner last night. as you say hard to pick holes in them, even though they aren’t perfect.
£35 with a sub? is that a joke?
Never heard of this make and their website is hideous, but I trust your reviews. Seems like a bargain imo
My guess the metal cone is to directionally disperse the high-frequency sound, which tends to propagate in a single direction. This is as opposed to the lower end of the spectrum, which tends to be pretty much omni-directional. This would probably mean that you would get a better balance of high and low if your listening position is “off-axis”.
They look weird, but they seem to work. For people with very little money and those wanting something very bass heavy,. seem a good enough purchase
