Sound quality, rating and HEXUS.right2reply
Teufel's first-ever 2.0 PC speaker solution targets the PC user wanting Hi-Fi quality sound at their desk.
With that in mind, the Concept B 200 USB is a success. We've never heard a set of 2.0 PC speakers that sound this good. In use, listeners can close their eyes and forget they're sat in front of their desktop PC - it almost feels like you're resting in view of two bigger floor-standing stereo speakers. The sound on offer really is that impressive.
Offering stunning clarity, the Concept B 200 USB will treat PC users to detail they may never have known existed. Listening to the Piano melodies of Ludovico Einaudi's Divenire is a treat, with each note produced firmly and precisely. Changing tune, The Rolling Stones' Almost Hear You Sigh comes across as sumptuous, with a swathe of warm bass, clear voice and accurate highs that aren't too sharp.
Trouble is, at £178, you could probably pick up an amp and a set of high-end stereo speakers from your local A/V specialist. Chances are, you'll find a set that's better looking than the Teufel, too.
Then again, there's a good chance you won't get a dedicated USB sound card that negates the electronic noise created by your PC, or an integrated USB hub. If you're after a 2.0 PC solution that offers truly excellent sound, you're very, very unlikely to be disappointed by Teufel's Concept B 200 USB.
Such is the company's confidence in its products, the Concept B 200 USB comes backed by a 12-year warranty, and dissatisfied listeners can always fall back on Teufel's eight-week return policy. You don't get much fairer than that.
