Pacific Digital Does It Again

My girlfriend was the one who first recommended the Pacific Digital computer speakers to me. Considering I was so used to my laptop’s speakers, I was quite awed with the sound quality of the speakers. Then she told me the price and I was all like, “WHAT!” The sound quality in no way represents the price.

I’m not usually one to spend money on accessories like this, but the sound was so much better than I was used to that I had to make an exception. Considering that I am keen on listening to music all the time, the speakers worked out dandily.

My previous purchases were the Diptonic cube speakers (which were probably around $130 or so). They lasted about 5 years and were followed by the not so great Wishbish speakers something or others (about $60). The Wishbishes lasted about a week or so before the cabling started to wear. I did some repair work but then realized my work was futile.

The only minor problem I have with the Pacific Digital ones is that the wires are really long, so when you organize the speakers, the wires get all tangled with your other wires. Between the speaker wires, my AC adapter for my laptop, the wire for my mouse, the USB port, and the wire for my external hard drive, it makes things a bit challenging.

Otherwise, though, these are great for anyone who listens to music or watches movies frequently on their computer. I attached this system to my office laptop and all the co-workers are jealous. It definitely meets my expectations. I like to run my MP3 player, FM radio, and laptop through it and they all sound adequate. Of course, you can’t argue with the price.

Nothing is more American than listening to music while wearing stonewashed jeans!
