Creative T60 review: How is this possible? 

Haha true

Pleasure, glad you found it useful. Let me know how you get on when you get it :)

@@TotallydubbedHD I already received them, fastest Amazon delivery I've ever had xD. These really do sound great! My desk is very crowded at the moment as I have two monitors and also a spot for my 17" work laptop to work from home, so I really didn't have the room for bookshelf type speakers. I was looking for smaller than this even but it seems like you compromise on sound quality a lot. I had a Logitech 2.1 system that was really showing its age. I'm very happy with my purchase, thank you again! Edit: also as you said, the power and USB/audio cables are rather short. I like the length of the left to right cable though.

@@Pastroni89 glad I could help and pleased you're enjoying them :)

Glad you're enjoying it!

Nowhere near; as you said, different leagues. From mid-range, highs, soundstage and mid-bass accuracy - the T60 are no match for a set of bookshelf speakers like the 3030i + a proper amp/receiver.

That's a good point, indeed you can do that (headphones). Didn't try the phone connection unfortunately, but might try at some point when I get them out again. As for the mic, it's the modmic 4.0 :)

I'd recommend these for a dorm room!

Yup

Pleasure, glad you liked it! Not tried the T40s, so can't comment. But judging by the comments found on this video, it would seem the T60s are indeed the way to go!

As far as I'm aware, it's only in Windows

Digital connection, ie, USB.

Glad you liked the review! No idea regarding the other speakers though.

Should be there, or Google the Creative Windows app?

Don't think you'll be able to. Glad you liked the review!

Thank you! Good question; from memory it doesn't save it for another source - ie doesn't have a chip that stores its profile other than 'onboard' but could be mistaken!

@@TotallydubbedHD Ah damn, that's unfortunate if it doesn't do that. My whole plan was to set the EQ on a Windows laptop since I'm a Mac user. Still, I don't think I need to mess much with the sound that much though especially after listening to sound tests from other channels

Suggest you watch the video before commenting.

Thanks! Not sure about the software; as for the width; it should suffice, but do bear in mind my comments made in the video.

@@TotallydubbedHD thanks. I want to use it more on my PS4 Pro. It should give more than casual 2.0 speakers for games.

No idea

Shared in the video - did you watch it? However, I suggest tinkering around with it, for you to find what works best for you.

@@TotallydubbedHD I did but I'm still unsure. I chose rock instead of Rnb and set all enhancements to on for the device..

Not tried those, so can't comment, sorry! But I can't think of better sounding speakers for the price thus my positive review.

the t20's are pretty repairable. maybe a cable or soldering spot is damaged, which is easily fixed. or the headphone jack or cable has an issue

Yesterday I check t60 with my old t30, Jesus, my t30 much better, but I don’t know how download this app for equalizer etc.

@@majesticfrag7697 In what ways do the T30’s sound better? I just upgraded from T20-II to the T60 and noticing a bit muddiness with clear dialog on right out of the box, have not used the app yet, thinking of returning t60 and getting the T30’s or even T40/50

@@itstkj3087 I'll explain now. I have a T30 and they are much better than the new T60, I tested them for a long time, the fact is that the T60 win only when you connect them via usb-c and adjust the equalizer, raise the bass, only in this case the sound of the T60 is better. but then there are minuses, the bass of the t60 is much less than that of the t30, the t30 is much louder. you can listen to high-quality sound only through usb-c with the included and tuned equalizer. Does everyone have a free usb-c under the speaker? I think no. Ok, then you can use the 3mm jack, but then the equalizer won't work and the sound will be flat and terrible. Do you want to play some kind of game and simultaneously turn on music on your phone via Bluetooth? Not! You can not! Or you listen to the sound of the game or the sound of music through the bluetooth, for each action you need to switch the mode on the speaker. This is complete nonsense. In addition, when listening to music through bluetooth, the equalizer also does not work, lol. The sound is very flat, there is no bass, it's terrible. Yesterday I returned the new t60 back to the seller, I will continue to use my t30. They have an analog equalizer, that is, I can tweak the bass right on the speaker at any time, one 3mm connector, I can play a game and simultaneously listen to music on bluetooth with good loudness, I can add and remove the equalizer, everything works. And on t60 it's just awful, inconvenient, impractical, less functional. If I had no speakers at all and were given the choice of T30 or T60, I would of course choose T30.

These will provide better low end extension and give you plenty of other customisation and options, but the Edifier will do better across the treble and provide better instrument separation.

Pleasure, hope it was helpful!

@@TotallydubbedHD It was. I am still not sure what to get, haha. Any similarly sized (or slighlty larger) bluetooth stereo speakers you could recommend?

@@markuslolen6127 at this price? Nope!

@@TotallydubbedHD 200-300 € would be fine as well but all the other seem much bigger. My old Creative T30 are falling apart. They had good sound and good bluetooth functionality. :(

@@markuslolen6127 you could look into the Edifier active speakers I've review; just go on RU-vid and put: "Edifier TotallydubbedHD" :)

You won't be able to

please reply thank you I buy it especially for music

No idea

Better, but I've only heard the V2

In a nutshell: the T60 sounds better (soundstage) but doesn't have as much of a punch in the lows. I'd pick the T60s; my review of the T100s is in the description

Yes

Thanks!

Enjoy!

@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks, your video helped a ton with the decision. It arrives next week, maybe Monday. I'll definitely post a followup after using it for a while. One great feature I just noticed is that wasn't specifically mentioned in your video: You can connect headphones/headsets and the headset mic on the back of the speakers, and then there's a very simple button on the front of the speaker to switch audio output between speaker mode or headset mode. They can stay permanently plugged in. Wow. That simplifies things a lot, since I was constantly unplugging the headset and plugging in my old speakers when I switch several times a day. This is gonna be a huge upgrade. Looking forward to posting a small review about how it went.

@@BenderdickCumbersnatch pleasure buddy, glad I could help! Look forward to seeing what you think vs the T40 :)

​@@TotallydubbedHD I've received it now. The T60 is leagues above T40. Out of the box the T60 is a bit muddy, but the speakers come to life with the software and extra features: - Crystallizer effect is great for lifting the veil and adding treble to these speakers. - Clear Dialog is so good that I keep it permanently enabled even for music. It doesn't cause excessive treble/mids whatsoever, and does its job of making voices very clear. You can definitely hear that it takes away a little bit of the bass, but that's really a good thing since these speakers already produce a lot of bass and this reduction actually helps make the bass sound more controlled. - Surround effect actually works. I suppose it's some psychoacoustic phase shifting stuff, not sure, but it really widens the stereo image. I keep it permanently enabled. - Smart Volume to smooth out the volume differences between different content (I guess it's a compressor), is good. I keep it enabled too. Less fiddling with volume. - Equalizer could be useful but I don't use it yet. It's disabled. Because the other effects do a great job lifting the veil already. - There is plenty of bass, so I never enabled the Bass effect. Literally don't need it. - The ability to permanently keep a headset plugged in and switching between speakers and headset is insane. I love it. It's super handy. No more crackling and issues when switching between speakers and headsets. Games that can't handle audio device switching no longer have to be restarted to "regain audio", since you never switch audio output since it all goes through the speakers. - The USB soundcard/DAC/ADC in these speakers is good. No noise or hiss. - I absolutely love the noise removal feature for the microphone passthrough. It's a great bonus feature. - The ability to play stuff over Bluetooth works flawlessly and adds a whole new dimension to the speakers. Morning music via the smartphone is now easy to achieve. The sound is fantastic. It sounds better than most 2.1 (subwoofer) desktop systems I've tried in the past. It has just the right amount of bass for me. It's punchy and deep without being obnoxious/muddy. Any downsides? Only a few: - The wall power cable is short. - The USB cable is ridiculously short (I may buy a replacement for it since I'm currently forced to use awkward USB ports to reach). - When using headphone passthrough, the headphone volume is controlled via the volume knob on the speakers. This is a little bit stupid, perhaps. Because headphone volume is very different from speaker volume, so I end up having to use two wildly different settings depending on whether I use headphone or speaker mode. But it's a minor complaint and I will get used to which speaker volume positions to use. - The "Smart Volume" feature seems to cause weird volume ducking when you have quiet background music and then a sudden loud sound effect. It doesn't just lower the effect. It makes it sound weirdly inverted. I may end up disabling Smart Volume, but it's a rare occurence and only happens in games with huge dynamic range (very quiet music and then suddenly loud noises). - And the final downside is the volume itself. It's loud... Way too loud. When using it via USB from a computer, the volume basically goes from "Silent" to "ear blasting" within a few millimeters of volume knob turning. So I had to counteract this to get more range on the physical volume knob, by using a few tricks: 1) Set the Windows volume output to 30% instead of 100%, so that the speakers aren't receiving a full volume signal (this "fix" is a tiny bit worrying since anything that suddenly changes my digital volume to 100% could perhaps damage the speakers, but that risk is very low). 2) Enable the "Smart Volume" setting, but I am still not sure whether I will keep that effect due to the aforementioned "sound inversion" issue it can cause sometimes. 3) Keep the knob in pretty much a static position and just use the digital Windows volume controls instead. But that's because I am quite far from the speaker. Could also do the reverse, by keeping Windows volume static and using the physical knob instead if you want. It feels like the reason for the extreme volume/amplification issue when connected to a PC, is that the amplification seems tuned for smartphones (where you rarely have 100% output volume), and not tuned for PCs (where it's common to leave windows at 100% volume and just use the speaker knobs instead). But ehhh, it's survivable and I am already getting used to it. In the end, those downsides aren't a big issue and I will get used to them quickly, and may perhaps even find better workarounds. The upsides and features and sound quality are absolutely incredible and I definitely would rate this product about 9.5/10. If it didn't have the minor issues it'd be a 10/10 thanks to its sound quality and overall amazing features. And the value is immense. Thanks again for your video which helped me choose these speakers! -- Johnny

@@BenderdickCumbersnatch thanks so much for sharing those detailed thoughts, much agreed with the analysis, although, some of the settings I don't use. As for the volume, haha - that's a good point. Tbh, I run at 50% in Windows with my Cambridge Audio CXA61 for that exact reason - also gives me smaller increment steps when increasing or decreasing the volume :)

Nope!

@@TotallydubbedHD I have owned the T20 II and it's a big step above the T10 🙂 I think the quality is comparable, but the T20 II does feature tweeters 🤔

No idea mate, not tried them!

@@TotallydubbedHD Got the T60, sounded really well on mid volume even with no dedicated bass.

@@alcom1313 brill, glad you like it buddy!

These were already pre-set

@@TotallydubbedHD have you tried playing games with these? Especially fps, COD? Apex? How was your exp?

@@ryanpan8302 I never use my own bookshelf speakers, let alone budget ones for FPS gaming - headphones are highly suggested.

No idea; but the T60s a great!

the t20 have a dedicated abd properly crossovered tweeter and a proper bass tube. they are only 40 watts though. the have less digital connectivity, making them cheaper. i am using the same t20's since 13 years. i had to fix an oxidised soldering connection to the right driver yesterday as it lowered its volume (simple resoldering it fixed it), that was the first maintainance in 13 years. the newer models of the same loudspeaker have an anoying power saving mode in europe though.

They're better on the whole, namely in the mids

Did you watch the video?

@@TotallydubbedHD only about half of it unfortunately as I ended up looking at a different set... have u made a video about the majority d40s

@@akahasyourdog5307 no. A suggestion: watch the video before asking questions. It's otherwise disrespectful towards the creator. Best of luck in your hunt!

I use the T10 Creative (2x 5 watt) speakers for gaming, and they have fairly good sound (although they are more suitable for music and film). The T20 II is one noticable step up, so I guess the T60 will perform very well compared to those 🙂

Thanks buddy, glad you like the content! So you're looking for a set of bookshelf speakers under £600 and for gaming (although I wouldn't normally suggest it vs headphones, in your case I can emphasise). In this respect, if you've got that budget, you need to look into the Edifier S3000Pro; absolutely phenomenal speakers - but MUCH larger than these ones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hT8q_0Ewjxc.html

Gets plenty loud, yes

Tried rebooting?

@@TotallydubbedHD to be honest no but will give it a go Do you need to connect it via usb to recognise

@@paultilly yes, pretty sure lol. How are you connected?

@@TotallydubbedHD just via cables did try plugging in usb but notice it was a white end and all usb on pc are blue maybe that's the issue

@@paultilly eh? Opt for USB

Really? Didn't have issues here.

@@TotallydubbedHD The sound quality is very grainy and theres a lot of artifacting

Of course it is. Not everyone games on their PC. I don't understand how you can't comprehend that.

Thanks :D

Enjoy!

This.

I own both, the T100 for my ps5/TV and the T60 for my ps4pro/monitor. So far I prefer the T100 over the T60. In my opinion the T100 sounds better not much but still.

That would have been a nice bonus

Good luck finding ones without it at this price point though lol

Haha thanks :D

Most, including me, would disagree.

@PaperBoat The Creative T40 would be a good alternative. But I'm going to buy these T60 beauties ;-)

@@JohnStopman How much does T60 cost?

@@PaperBoat. In my country, the Netherlands, you can buy them for €80,- (Amazon) 🙂

@@JohnStopman If you just want a pair of nearfield desktop monitor and have the budget then you can consider JBL 305p MKii...

Thanks for your input!

Doing research on the Creative T-series speakers is so incredibly confusing. I can't even find measurements for some of these speakers. Here's what I see people say: - The T20 is a classic legendary balanced speaker. - The T20 and T40 has woofer-breakup problems. (Did this get fixed in future models??) - The T100 was never a good speaker. - The T60 is worse than the T30. - The T40 is better than the T30. - The T40 is worse than the T60. - The T40 is worse than the T20. - The T60 is better than the T50. How do I even begin to know which speaker is the best????

@@AudioTestsNReviews Exactly.
