Summary: Best money I've ever spent !
Review: I have purchased many items from Amazon and read the manyreviews that go with them, but this is the first time I'm following upa purchase with a review of my own. I just finished installing these bad-boys about 30 minutes ago and I'm 100% blown away. This is the best money I've ever spent on computer-related products.....maybe even better than most of my audio/video products in general. Don't even consider any other speaker system because when you go to a friends house and he has these ADA305's pumpin' you're going to kick yourself, trust me! END

Summary: Awesome, Sort of.
Review: I love these speakers, they sound great with realistic and powerful bass and great clearity. Although, for anyone with a sound card capable of 3D sound these are not the speakers for you. Although they sound great I was dissappointed with the lack of 3D sound.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You won't find anything better!
Review: I recently bought a computer and I customized it so it came with the ADA-305 speakers with the subwoofer. They're perfect! They sound excellent when watching DVDs and playing games and they're even better if you have a 3D sound card. I highly recommend this product!

Summary: kick ass speakers of the millenium
Review: I recently ordered a brand new dell, and I ordered this speakers to come with my new system. As an avid MP3 collector, I was waiting for speakers that would sound like my stereo. These do all that and better! You just set the powerful subwoofer in the ground and keep it out of the way, and you set up the surround sound speakers right next to your monitor. They take up very little space, and they are oh so easy to hook up! Please, do yourself a favor, and if you are buying a new computer, GET these speakers. You won't be disappointed - I guarantee it.

Summary: amazing sound
Review: I recently ordered a new computer for college and ordered these speakers with it. If you didn't see where the sound was coming from, you would swear it was from a real stereo. I was just blown away at how crisp the sound is, and how real the surround sound effects seem. Since I don't have a stereo at school, these speakers serve as my means of music listening, and frankly, I don't need a stereo with great computer speakers like these.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest upgrade of my life!
Review: I upgraded to these speakers when I bought my Dell a while ago. These speakers are unbelievable! The bass the subwoofer throws out is intense and readily annoys neighbors when I'm playing with ReBirth or any action or sports game.

The angled speakers really do make a difference and do a decent job imaging sound to your sides.

At the price Amazon's offering them for - you can't go wrong!

Summary: Pricey but worth it...
Review: I've had the speakers for nearly a year now and was reading through a few of the reviews here and i also have to agree that these speakers really are Unbelievable they just sound great doesn't matter what music your into. The bass is great! And the prologic technology actually does sound excellent.
In a previous review however i read that a person had difficulty using the speakers with win2k well i found that i couldn't use the software which enabled the usb cable (speaker software) but that didn't mean that i couldn't use the surround sound. If you hold the centre button down for 3 or 4 seconds it switches the speakers from analog to prologic. I just happened to stumble across this when messing around with the speakers. Its easy to see if you've switched the speakers to prologic by looking at the light on the unit if its orange it means its on analog if its green then its prologic.
The speakers are soooo good!!! that i've actually put them into my room and hooked them up to my stereo system to add an EXTRA punch to my sound system, it Works amazingly with the other speakers.....
So yeh go get yourself a set of these if you can afford them at the price they're at :(

Summary: Little tweaking and you'll get the sound you want. Best!!!
Review: Midrange and highs and very clean and crisp. Bass is also very clean and deep.
But I was not satisfied with bass at first. It was too low at low volumes, even with bass volume set at max. I tried to increase the bass using the equaliser that is built into mp3 player, but it distorted the music, it was distorted even at lowest volumes and it was distorted with othe speakers that I tried, so I concluded that it must be the soft equaliser that is messing things up. I was diappointed about it at first, I even went as far as ordering stand alone equaliser. But couple days later I found the solution to this problem. It turned out that (on mp3 player equaliser) you should leave the bass lever where it is and turn down the rest of the levers to get distortionfree bass. Than crank up the volume on the speakers.After that, I did got much, much more distortion free bass than I needed. (prologic mode cranks up bass even further)
In fact I listened music for 5 minutes at 30% volume with bass set up as described above and my next door neghbour showd up complaining about music.
I never even plugged in stand alone equaliser that I recieved.
I am completely satisfied with these speakers now.
You can get these speaker for a total of $100 at yahoo shopping.
It is dirt cheap for this much clean sound.
(I did compared them to Klipsch promedia thx 2.1 and think that midrange is more present (or live) in ADA890 and bass also goes deeper (no wonder ADA890 has 8" bass driver vs 6.25" in Klipsch)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!
Review: My roommate has this on his computer, and it so AWESOME! It's better than my Boston Acustics speakers(which I usually consider the de facto standard in speakers)!
