KWorld Classic C40 Computer Speakers review

The KWorld Classic C40 computer speakers are an ideal purchase for an enthusiast user who is in the market for a high bass impact sound system for rock or dance music, they are also very good for gaming. The main talking point however is the scrooge like £35 asking price.

When placed in front of the ears of a discerning audiophile, the Classic C40 speakers lack refinement, and at high volumes they run out of steam and can distort and compress the audio range a little. With classical music and complex instrumental compositions they suffer from a lack of focus and will struggle to accurately position a variety of instruments within a complex sound stage.

Negatives aside however, there are many redeeming features for a potential owner.

I can honestly say that I haven't heard a pair of speakers at this price point delivering such a wall of sound, able to encompass rich bass at low volumes. Frequently in the budget sector speakers will sound flat, ‘thin' and will skip across the surface of lower frequencies. A narrow, lifeless veil of sound is often all that is left.

The Classic C40 speakers have clearly been designed to rectify this issue in the under £50 market place. They are easily capable of filling a modest sized room while producing a warm, rich audio experience for gamers and rock lovers. They are not perfect, but for £35 inc vat, I find them really hard to fault.

If they cost £70-£100 then they would face stiffer competition, but as it stands, for £35 we can certainly recommend the C40 speakers. They offer a fantastic ratio of bang for the buck.

You can buy them here.

Pros:

  • price point is fantastic.
  • they look more expensive than they are.
  • bass response is class leading in the under £50 sector.
  • bass and treble adjustments are extensive.
  • They work hard to create a ‘big sound'.
  • Colourful and energetic.

Cons:

  • not a sophisticated sound.
  • won't fill a big room.
  • unusual appearance won't appeal to everyone.
  • not great for complex orchestral or classical music.
  • no control pod, meaning subwoofer needs to be close at hand.

Kitguru says: If you are tired of feeble speakers with weak bass and don't have much money then this setup might just hit the spot.

  1. I spent more for dinner last night. as you say hard to pick holes in them, even though they aren’t perfect.

  2. £35 with a sub? is that a joke?

  3. Never heard of this make and their website is hideous, but I trust your reviews. Seems like a bargain imo

  4. 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”.

  5. 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
