The subwoofer has a removable grille and little rubber feet on the bottom of it. The power converter is also built into the subwoofer, which I think is a very nice feature because it eliminates having one of those big power adapters taking up room on your surge protector. The only thing I didn't understand about the sub is why the bass control is on the back rather than up front with the rest of the controls.
Now on to sound quality, and let it be clear that these speakers are designed specifically for gaming! That being said I had to play some music through them. Highs and mid tones are crisp and clear, no distortion at all. The subwoofer is powerful, and delivers quite a bit of bass, however it does get distorted if you turn the sub all the way up and the master volume three quarters of the way up or more, but if you turn the subwoofer down you can crank the master volume all the way up and shake the house. Though you're not going to get the music quality of a $300 or $400 set the quality of music is still good.
The surround sound is awesome for everything from racing games to first person shooters, the audio is clear and crisp and the bass is strong. Sometimes grenades in first person shooters will shake the walls if you have these turned up too high. I have to say the Altec Lansing 251's do what they were made to; every game I have played with these speakers has sounded great.

Overall this is a great set of speakers for approx. $80.00. The only negative thing I found about them was the lack of a remote, which is not a big deal, but most higher priced speaker sets come with a remote. These speakers should please even the most serious gamers out there, unless you are used to Bose, or Klipsch!
