CREATIVE INSPIRE 280 SPEAKERS: The cases of these speakers are about 220 mm high, and are in hard moulded plastic, with a nice glossy black finish. The right hand speaker has two thumbwheels (for volume and tone adjustment), an illuminated push-button switch and a headphone socket, all mounted in the right hand side. The speakers are prewired to one another so that the distance between them cannot be more than about 1300 mm (51 in). To my ear, the sound quality is very good, and the maximum volume is more than adequate for personal use.
Overall verdict: an invaluable accessory to any notebook/laptop computer, and very good value for money.
