At the moment, the T60 are the only Creative speakers that support SmartComms, giving them an edge over the otherwise more highly specified T100s. I found both features to be surprisingly effective and a genuine reason to opt for Creative kit over that of its competitors if you make a lot of calls using your computer. This has an automatic voice detection built into it that can mute or unmute your mic automatically and has active noise cancellation to eliminate background noise.

If you are a Windows user the T60 also support Creative’s SmartComms Kit. The two systems can be used separately or in harmony, making the system highly adaptive. The Clear Dialogue button brings vocals more to the fore and works surprisingly well with both video and gaming sources. The Surround button is self-explanatory and opens up the soundstage to an impressive degree but without making everything sound too artificially spaced out. In addition to this, two specific features can be activated by pressing buttons on the front of the master speaker. The latter adds an extra level of sharpness to higher frequency sounds.

If the sound the T60 produce isn’t quite your cup of sonic tea you can always install Creative’s app and tweak the T60’s sound profiles using the nine-band graphic equaliser as well as the bass, treble and “Crystalizer” settings. Some distortion does creep in at maximum volume, especially if you leave the Clear Dialogue feature engaged, but that’s more a testament to the almost ridiculous maximum volume level that the Creative’s can achieve than any design failing. There’s a more than generous amount of volume and bass and a very impressive level of stereo separation, something that really pays dividends in games where the ability to detect the direction of incoming fire can, quite literally, be the difference between life and death. The sound quality from my MSI Katana gaming laptop certainly improved when I switched from the 3.5mm audio jack to USB.Ĭreative T60 review: What do they do well?įirst and foremost, the Creative T60 sound very, very good for sub-£100 speakers. For the price, the Creative T60 pack several features you wouldn't expect, such as a built-in DAC and USB connectivity, which together mean you can take a digital sound signal direct from your PC's USB port and let the speakers take care of the signal conversion to analogue as well as amplification.
