I listen to music all day while I\u2019m working, so I want it to sound good. At the very least, I usually want lots of bass but maximum clarity.<\/p>\n<p>So when I accepted the Creative T60 speakers for review, I figured they\u2019d leave me wanting in the <i>boom boom <\/i>department. And they have. But I\u2019ve grown to appreciate them for other reasons. They\u2019ve given me a new perspective on what makes a good accessory like this\u2014because sometimes speakers are more than just speakers.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_What_Makes_the_T60_Special\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">So, What Makes the T60 Special?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Out of the box, the T60 looks like a pair of unassuming speakers. And really, that\u2019s exactly what it is. But when you flip around to the back, you\u2019ll see the first thing that makes these at least fairly unique: a bevy of connection types.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96111\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5526f36b.jpg\" alt=\"The connections on the back of the Creative T60\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are dedicated jacks for headphones, a mic (more on those two in a bit), a traditional 3.5mm aux input, and USB-C. That last one sort of threw me for a loop\u2014there are other speakers out there with USB-C connections, but they are most certainly in the minority. Even better, the T60s come with all the cables you need right in the box, including a USB-C cable (and a C to A adapter in case your computer doesn\u2019t have USB-C ports).<\/p>\n<p>As a dedicated docked laptop user, this is perfect. I have two docks, and neither of them has a 3.5mm connection. I don\u2019t want to run a separate cable to my laptop\u2014I want everything handled with a single USB-C cable. Thanks to the T60\u2019s USB-C option, I can simply plug these into my dock and get audio. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to go wireless, they also have Bluetooth, which is another nice touch in a simple set of desktop speakers.<\/p>\n<p>So, going back to the aforementioned headphone and mic connections\u2014this is what makes these so nice for WFH (work from home) scenarios. You can plug a set of wired headphones and a 3.5mm mic into the speakers for when you\u2019re on a video call. There\u2019s a toggle on the right speaker\u2019s front that lets you seamlessly switch between the headset and the speakers, which is honestly just brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>You can use them as regular desktop speakers most of the day, then grab your headset and mic (or an all-in-one headset + mic) and switch the input with a single press of a button on the speakers. When you\u2019re finished with your call, just hit that toggle again to go back to speaker mode\u2014no need to unplug your headset or mic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96115\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/73375541.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"628\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And with the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.creative.com\/Products\/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=4&amp;subCatID=461&amp;prodID=23689&amp;prodName=Creative+T60&amp;subCatName=Creative&amp;CatName=Speakers\">Creative app on Windows<\/a>\u00a0(sorry, Mac users, this one is Windows only), you can take\u00a0this functionality to the next level. Using what Creative calls the SmartComms Kit, you can automatically mute\/unmute yourself using a feature called VoiceDetected, and remove unwanted noise (both from the outgoing and incoming signals) from the background with NoiseClean-out, all in real time.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is customizable in the Creative app, too. You can enable\/disable both VoiceDetect and NoiseClean-out independently. Each setting can also be toggled or adjusted, like the sensitivity for automute and how much background noise should be cut.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t plan on using SmartComms, the Creative app is still worth installing because it\u2019s where you can adjust the audio output.

There\u2019s no dedicated subwoofer for added <i>oomph<\/i>. And at first, that really bothered me because I like the oomph. But over time, I stopped caring about that as much because I realized how good these are in other (already mentioned) ways.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean they sound bad, especially for a two-channel system. It\u2019s a clear, articulate pair of speakers with a good amount of low end for the size. The balance between mids and treble is also nice, making these fine for listening to music or watching videos.<\/p>\n<p>The T60 also has a specific setting for dialog mode, which is great for watching press conferences or whatever sort of all-talk-no-fun stuff you might have to watch for work. It also has a specific setting for virtual surround mode, which pulls out a bit of the bass but makes everything feel more \u201calive\u201d and immersive. Despite the lack of boomy-boomy-boom-boom, I like this setting better overall, even for music.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you can tweak the sound quality (to an extent) using the Creative app. The adjustments aren\u2019t dramatic, but they\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_A_Great_Set_of_Two_Channel_Speakers_for_Your_Desk\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Conclusion: A Great Set of Two Channel Speakers for Your Desk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-96113 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/e0bbcc42.jpg\" alt=\"The Creative T60's right speaker\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Look, if you\u2019re an audiophile, hardcore gamer, or someone who uses their computer as a movie station (those people exist, I promise), these speakers probably aren\u2019t for you.
