Creative SBS A335
This is a 2.1 speaker system meaning there are two smaller ones(speakers/tweeters whatever, no idea if they are coaxial or something like that) and one woofer box.
The total output of the speakers is 21W. Speakers from Creative with similar wattage now cost around Rs.2500/-. You can check more details on Amazon(affiliate link) or Flipkart.

Woofer Box - This is the heart of the system. This is a wooden box with a downfiring woofer/speaker. Only thing we see on the front is a air passage hole. Sides and top are plain while the back has connections and bass control. The woofer is on the bottom side and not visible normally. The four legs raise the box by an inch above the table to give sufficient room for the woofer.
The box also houses the power conversion and amplifiers inside. It has a permanently connected 2 pin power cord that can be plugged into indian plug(but the on/off control is on the speaker). On the back there is a knob to control the bass level. Other than this there are ports for connecting left and right speakers. The two ports are different so they can only be connected to the correct speakers.
Left Speaker - This is a speaker inside a plastic box. Front is covered in a mesh clothing. It has a permanently fixed wire that connects to the back of the woofer box.
Right speaker - Same as the left speaker with some additional functionality. This speaker has a knob on the side for turning on/off and for volume control. It has a led light to indicate the power status. This one has two permanent wires. One of them is a thinner one with a 3.5mm regular audio jack for audio input to the system. We can connect it to phone/laptop or anything with a 3.5mm audio output socket. The Second wire is a thicker one that connects to the woofer box to control power/volume and also to supply the audio input to the system.
Please search for Creative A335 for more specific details and specs.
My Set
I bought these speakers around two years back for use with my then laptop which had poor sound output from its internal speakers. But I only used them for few days, less than a month. After that they remained in the closet. I used them on 2 or 3 occasions after that. So the total usage was very less.
The sound output is awesome. I'm no sound expert but I can tell you that these speakers are sufficient for a room of 15x20. They do not disturb your neighbors but can give add lot of punch to the sound in the room. I watched a few movies using these speakers and the experience was awesome. I have a much bigger 2000 watt sony setup for my tv. I can not compare this to the 2000w Sony. If I didn't had the Sony thing, I'd have connected this to the TV with no regrets. The output of these speakers is much higher than any TV and the bass can not be matched by any TV.
These are a great set to enhance the music experience while using with laptop/phone/tv/mp3 player or whatever at a budget. No comparison to high end systems though.
The reason I removed them was because I don't like keeping them on all the time(We don't need that kind of sound all the time on table) . So I had to turn off, unplug from the power strip and then disconnect laptop(internal speakers will not work unless external connections are removed). I had to do all this again in reverse when I wanted sound from speakers. It was inconvenient and irritating. So I just used headphones when required.
The second reason was they were taking a lot of space on my laptop table.
The speakers are great and I love the sound but they didn't serve my purpose.

Condition
The speakers are like new. There are no signs of use. No scratches, no scuffs. Absolutely mint condition and they look like they are just taken out of the box. Work the way they did on day one. Check the pictures and video. These are the actual pics/vids of the speakers taken before the listing, i.e., Nov 2016. Sound quality can not be judged in the video but I hope it will give an idea.
My likes
Sound
Build quality
Bass level adjustment
Down firing woofer
Dislikes
Control and Cable management. I wish the power/volume control and bass adjustment are at the same place, preferably on the woofer. Now power control is on the speaker and bass control is on the woofer. I also wish the audio input cord was on the woofer box itself.
Since Creative has lot of experience, I think the controls and cables are the way they are for a reason, though I don't like them. The way they are now, we can neatly keep the woofer under the table(or away) and just have the speakers on the table to easily connect the audio jack and access power/volume control. As we do not adjust the bass frequently, it's ok to have it away on the woofer. This way woofer does its duty without taking up space on your table.

What's included
The Speakers, thats all. All the cables and controls are built in, so they do not need anything else. I do have the original box that will be given. The box is on the loft and I did not check it. Usually I leave everything in the box, so 99.9% all the packing material and manuals etc that came with speakers are there in the box.
