Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to shatter the perceived limitations of portable amplification, the Banshee Audio 5.0 surround sound speaker system makes your iPod or MP3 player sound rich and powerful. The system, which combines an impressive 50 watts of peak performance with Banshee's patented surround decoding technology, generates revolutionary, immersive surround sound with unmatched volume, precision, and clarity- -all from a single self-contained, compact unit. The system owes its impressive audio performance to its five integral speakers, each of which boasts a banana fiber cone known for its tensile strength. Together, the speakers produce robust bass, a clear midrange with a 360-degree holographic effect, and crisp percussive quality for any song played. It's the perfect speaker system for iPod and MP3 owners who aren't satisfied with the tinny sound quality of most competing systems.

Listeners will also dig the durable plastic case, which sports a stylish high-gloss piano-black finish with a chrome speaker grille. And should you want to add a little extra oomph, the Banshee includes an output for an optional subwoofer. The Banshee, which measures 11.5 by 3 by 6 inches (W x H x D), works with any iPod or MP3 player with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and is backed by a one-year warranty.

The little speaker that could.......2007-11-11
The Banshee 3d2001 is one of the better audio systems for a mp3 device I have seen or come across.
While most other brands have only 2 speakers, the Banshee has 5.
The sound is clear and rich with a distinct tone quality not found in the other brands. First thing I noticed or felt, was this was not some cheap
audio system made to satisfy a market for an external audio system for your iPod or other device.
As the instructions note, it is not advisable to put these speakers in a close proximity to other electronic appliance's as this will adversely affect it performances i.e. the snapping and crackling noted by other reviewers. Read the instructions people.
I have been told by those in " the know " that the reason the Banshee 3d20001 does not have a battery is this little guy pumps out to many amps for the 5 speakers that to include a battery it would have to be much larger than the product itself thus not being practical; it is not a design flaw, these speakers were never designed to run on an internal power source.
If you want to get it for a family member or friend say in a dorm or similar living situation with a power supply, this is the system to get. It would make a great gift that is sure to please.
Decent but no where near worth its price.......2007-10-14
The only reason why I bought this was because i got it off a daily deal site(I won't say which one) for $20 with $2 shipping. I was like hey $150...I'm getting them for $22. How could I pass up that kind of deal? The only downside I was expecting was that the iPod cradle wasn't a dock. But I was willing to look past that since my Logitech mm28 just connects to the earphone jack(I'll be comparing some of this to my mm28). Anyway, after anxiously waiting for my package for a week, I rip the HUGE box open and I see this shiny little piece of equipment. I plug her in and I hate that I can't tell if it's on or off without sound coming out. But I get her on and get it to a medium volume. Something sounds wrong. I hear like a warbling sound for most songs that I play. I listen to many different types of music where bass and treble and dynamics vary. I try different audio sources. I try sitting and standing at different positions and different distances. No help. Listening at anything near loud volumes...don't get your hopes up. My mm28's play at much louder volumes with much better treble and bass production. Mind you that the mm28's retail around $40 and easily found around $20ish. These banshee speakers also don't have battery operation. Instead, you get a brick of a power supply. The silly look wouldn't bother me if it served as a design to give me the awesome sound that it supposedly should. I don't even think it was worth my $22. Sorry Banshee.
Pros:
»Included cradles
»Style (if it's your thing)
Cons:
»Weird warbling effect
»Volume handle
»Bass reproduction
»Horrible value
»Bulky
Crackle, pop and wavy sound!.......2007-10-05
I completely agree with some of the prior negative reviews. This system does snap, crackle and pop (and it has nothing to do with other electronics) unless you are talking about anything else plugged in. With significant treble in the music you will hear the system pop, so most rock is immediately out. Gaming wise, I haven't had any problem with the midi reproduction.
Overall, however, there is a wavy output which I find rather annoying. I am not an audiophile by any stretch; but I do notice a surge in music as I listen to my iPods playback. This may have to do with the AC current from the bulky adapter. Why not supply a direct current?? It pretty much steps down your 110VAC to 12 VAC. That is why some say it is not too portable. Sitting on the desktop, it looks pretty good, I think. Hope this helps
Nice, but. . . .......2007-09-04
it should be called "snap, crackle, pop". I'm told the constant crackling sounds with certain "tones" is interference from other devices. So this would be great if you lived in a home without anything electronic running near it. And I could totally be wrong, but I've lived in two homes with this thing and both places it makes the terrible crackling sound. Not only that, but you can't adjust anything. . it has to be plugged in and there's no recharge capability for your Mp3 player. Save your money and look elsewhere, in my humble opinion.
Awesome sound system.......2007-07-11
For a small black box, it blows my mind and ears away. I plugged it into my iPod at 60% volume and the house was filled with amazing crystal clear sound. I recommend everyone to buy this product. I love it so much that I have bought two banshees and placed them in my basement and in my inlaw suite. When I played the banshee in my in law suite, it not only filled the 800 sqft suite but continued into the rest of the house making it seem that I have a my iPod hooked up to a JBL or Bose 5.1 sound system. Also, my cousin has a bose sound dock, and my sister has an iHome the banshee system beats both systems without even breaking a sweat.
I love the Banshee and recommend everyone to buy one.

Deep and punchy.......2007-09-20
Chances are, if you're like me, you don't need this sub. I am a college student living in a house off campus. This sub is enough for any personal room. In fact, I can be playing my music and feel the bass outside my house (brick walls). I have had no problems with it whatsoever. Pushed 100watts from a Yamaha RX-797 (high quality stereo receiver) and very minimal distortion (if any, it probably came from the quality of the mp3) so, a very good sub. I listen to mainly hip-hop, rap, house, and trance... and am very pleased. Movies are 150% better with this sub.
With that said, this sub gives good controls for tweaking the power, phase, and crossover. So it's pretty high end and customizable to fit your setup.
The only thing I was concerned about was the size. This sub is huge, so you better have a spot for it. If you've got the space and the $$$ there's nothing more to think about.
Love it.......2007-06-14
I just finsihed my home theater system and I could not be happier with what I choose. This Infinity PS-12 is awsome, very tight bass, there is no boomyness at all, for the price you can not go wrong. Its big and heavy but really makes the movies... I have a Yamaha RX-V661 reciever and I love this unit, for the price you can't go wrong, for speakers, I went with Infinity's CS-60 in the wall and Ceiling, again for the price they sound incrediable...
Takes home theater experience to the next level.......2007-06-08
I had a media setup without the sub-woofer for 3 weeks and I tell you what the sound experience is a world apart with this Sub-woofer. It takes action scenes to a totally different level specially in a fully enclosed media room! I would recommend this one even if your media room is less than 400 Sqft!!!
Un muy buen SubWoofer.......2007-05-03
Para comprar este SubWoofer yo investigue bastante, compre algunas revistas, lei los comentarios de muchos compradores y al fimal selecione este, que se amoldaba a mi presupuesto y me ofrecia lo que buscaba, algo mas de 240w RMS y 12" a un precio de menos de 300$, ahora que tengo el SW puedo confirmar que mi eleccion fue la correcta, este SW hara que tu habitacion vibre, la respuesta en bajo es sorprendente, un bajo rico, educado y muy profundo, sin ningun tipo de sonidos molesto o no deseado, yo lo acople a mi amplificador H/K 3480 y 2 pares de cornetas JBL Control 1X, y la combinacion es maravillosa, para escuchar buena musica o ver videos musicales en DVD, incluso peliculas, el refuerzo del bajo es de lo mejor, he escuchado otros SubWoofers muchos mas costosos y la verdad entre este y aquellos la diferencia es solo el costo, ya que el sonido es el mismo y el algunos casos este Infinity PS12, incluso llaga a comportarse mejor, este es un muy buen producto, su rendimiento no te decepcionara para nada, si te gusta y lo necesitas, compralo con comfianza, que ademas aqui en Amazon esta a muy buen precio.
Infinity " 12 sub.......2007-03-20
Awesome. Matches my other speakers. Got a great deal on it. Shipping was fast and it was carefully packaged. Thinking about getting another one for base in another part of the home theater.
