CCE Reviews‏ and TechwareLabs have reviewed the Eagle Arion 2.1 soundstage speaker system.

Here's what they had to say:

  • CCE Reviews‏:

    "Eagle Computer’s may not be the most well known name, but the ET-AR504LR-BK Soundstage Speakers with Subwoofer certainly have a lot to offer. You can expect excellent sound from these speakers whether you are listening to music, watching a movie or playing your favorite games. They have excellent range, you get a wireless remote and a built in equalizer display. The wood cabinets give it a more natural sound than you get with the typical plastic materials used.

    As much as I really enjoyed the sound of the ET-AR504LR-BK Soundstage’s, there are few things that bring them back down a bit. The wires on the satellites are a bit short, so a larger desk may pose an issue unless you have some RCA extensions. Also the lack of a volume knob on the satellites makes them a little less PC friendly."

    "In the end, Eagle Tech has delivered us something of a mixed bag. These speakers look great, and can be made to sound wonderful, if you’re not a bass-a-holic. Getting them situated and set-up, however, can be a chore. As much as I’d like to bash them more…these are still the best damn $50 speakers I’ve ever heard. There’s better to be had if you can spare the cash, naturally, but you’d have to spend over $100 to find a serious improvement in sound quality. If your aim is to replace the discourtesy speakers that came with your Dell without breaking the bank, these will certainly be a satisfying step up."

This seems like an acceptable product, but if you are in the market for a sub-$50 2.1 speaker system check out the Logitech S-220.
