Designed and tuned to bring acoustic fidelity to your desktop, this two-piece system with its gloss black finish combines the best components and real power with the famous GigaWorks tradition to deliver pure music at its finest.

Customer Reviews
Appearance
Straight out the box, I notice the brilliant gloss black front, gold plated headphone jack and aux in port, beautifully crafted control knobs and of cause the twin yellow fibre glass woofers. But once plugged in, it's a different story... gone the annoying overly bright blue LED, comes a blue halo on the volume control knob, it looks marvellous.
Performance
When I was unboxing this, I was expecting a standard Creative 12V adapter, but I was wrong. The T40 Series II comes with a whopping 20V adapter; I wonder does this unlock the true potential of the drivers. The bass is much better than the T20, highs are precise but not uncomfortable to listen even when pushed, the overall sound is much richer, clearer and overall better than the T20 and the T40 of the previous series.
Pros
Great sound at the right price
Looks really nice
Cons
You will need a high quality audio output (Poorly encoded MP3 won't do it justices)
The adaptor wire length maybe too short for some people
You may get addicted to it
I rate this a 5/5, highly recommended.
UPDATE: The new colour can highlight dust as its really shiny, compare to the Gunmetal Grey of the previous series. Still highly recommended though.
The T40s are slightly narrower and taller than the Z-10s and have an external transformer which can give off a slight hum although you wouldn't notice it as it is quieter than the background noise from your typical PC. The Z-10s transformer is built into one of the speakers which makes that speaker a lot heavier than its counterpart.
Both products produce excellent, crystal clear sound, more than adequate for any avid music listener. The T40s have 3 external control knobs on/volume, treble, and bass that are easily and quickly adjusted unless you have large fingers in which case you may perceive them as a little fiddly. Connection to the PC is by means of the standard stereo speaker port from the PC's sound card. The front headphone socket and front `aux in' socket for an mp3 player are useful additions. There is also a rear socket to connect an mp3 docking station.
The Z-10s controls are by means of a touch sensitive panel on the front of one of the speakers. These can be a little erratic at times particularly if the speakers are warm from being switched on for a while. The Z-10 also has two connectivity options - (1) a USB connection which allows certain information to be displayed above the control panel, such as song title, date & time, etc. (2) the standard stereo speaker connection from the PC's sound card, which doesn't provide any information. The USB connection is a little gimmicky, and you can't use standard PC software for tailoring the sound. So you have a choice, if you want to tailor or play around with the sound you will need to connect them to the standard speaker port and lose the display (which kind of defeats the object of having these speakers); or connect them to a USB port and have the display but sacrifice being able to tailor the sound.
The T40s don't have that choice as there is only a standard speaker connection - so there is no dilemma here.
The Z-10s are slightly more powerful than the T40s although both are adequate for normal room listening conditions. However, I found the T40s to have a slightly crisper sound and perform well even at full volume. The only other minor point with the T40s is an annoying click if the power is turned off at the mains without turning the speaker itself off first, which you don't get with the Z-10s.
If I was to compare them, I would say that the Creative T40s have the edge owing to their marginally better sound quality and less finicky controls. But if you decide to purchase the Logitech Z-10s for the USB connection and novel display features you won't be disappointed.
So overall, I would rate the T40s 5 out of 5, and the Z-10s 4 out of 5.
The difference in sound quality shocked me on the first track I played. Read more
Arrived super quick (free delivery), up and running in 5 mins, great quality, look fantastic, and more importantly, sound... Read more
