How long are the cords? CNET says they are on the short side and I would like to know if these will work with my sit/stand desk.

The Subwoofer has an electrical cord and the audio cord from the computer of about 5 feet. Then off of the Subwoofer the satellite speakers have 4 foot cables. Unfortunately the cables are all attached so you can not hook up different wires. Hope this helps. Oh - the sound is very good, been happy with that.

To be honnest they are really really shorts... I've a dual monitor with 1 27" and 1 21". One speaker on extreme left and the other one on extreme right. The sub is under my desk.Cords were not long enought and are proprietary plugs. It looks like PS/2 cable but the sound was awfull with a simple PS/2 cable. I finally cuted the cable of the left speaker and I added some lenght with an alarm cable like this one http://www.china-cablewires.com/images/products/2012031913334607979324w1000h1000uzjaomei/fire-alarm-cables-shielded.jpgBut dont forget that you'll void warranty doing that.And another point, the sound is good BUT there's a constant background noise, so I'm not really happy with that...

You'll have to put the sub under or right next to your desk. The cords are on the short side.

cord is good enough, but do not buy this one. It generates noticeable noise when no music is playing. very annoying. Spend extra to buy the THX Logitec one. Much better for a little more

They are fine if you have them on a computer desk, too short for anything else, that's my one gripe about this system and they use proprietary cables I have just bought the Harmon kardon sound sticks w woofer and they sound fantastic and give you plenty of cable

They are about five feet long. The sub is on the floor and the speakers are on my desk about four feet apart. These speakers are great for the price. Music, movies, and games all sound excellent.

There are actually 2 cords. One is the USB cable that powers the speakers. The other is the cord that connects to your sound port. The cords are not real long. If your speakers are placed toward the sides of your computer and cords are dropped straight to the floor they will connect to the tower if it is on the floor. If your PC hardware is on the desk you shouldn't have any problems. An extra 12 inches on both cords would have helped a lot to give you more flexibility to move the speakers farther apart.

Cord is about 4 ft and stays in. Problem is the two cords I received do not have any samsung trademarks on them anywhere. I doubt they are samsung products

They are just under 5 1/2 inches apart and will not fit. The whole idea about a laptop stand is to help raise the monitor up just a little bit so you won't have to bend over as much while working on a laptop hopefully for temporary use only. If you have a separate keyboard already, and do not have access to a complete set up, your best option is to put the laptop up high enough on a stand, shelf, or reams of paper so you maintain a straight neck line and correct posturing while typing. please visit https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/positions.html for good posture at a work station.

They extend away from the pole approximately 40.65 cm or 16". Understand, that's not 'forward' technically, since they need to be angled to accommodate the monitors sitting next to each other. My desk is 101 cm or 40" deep, with the arm mounted at the furthest point from the front, and I have no issues seeing my monitors.

Not sure how long the cables are. They run behind my desk with the sub woofer-amp sitting on the floor and the speakers on my desk. The controller is also sitting on my desk. But in answer to your question, yes, they should be long enough since I do the same thing. I also run everything from a docking station which my laptop hooks into.

Not too long, but not too short either. I'd say about a foot and a half. I put mine on an average height desk and it just perfectly reaches the outlet below.

The cord between the speakers is about four feet---for us it works great inbetween/each side of the computer. The cord from the computer to the speaker is about two feet. Hope that helps. The sound is great---great speakers for the price.

As long as the 3 foot length will reach the desk top it should work fine. Either way the receivers will be that much closer to the keyboard. You need to make sure the cord length will suffice to allow an adequate distance between the receivers and the keyboard/mouse.

I am not use but mine are probably 2 feet apart. The cable is longer though. Cant tell you the exact length.

Mine are 6 feet long. When I need longer, I just use a cheap 2 core extension cord from Radioshack

I don't know the exact length but I find myself often having more than I need while just sitting at my computer desk. I've never had an issue where the cable was too short.

the cord is standard length, about 1.4 meter. yup. sound good with open back design. although looks very dull

Pretty short as far as I'm concerned (at least much shorter than my old Dell speaker cables.) 5 feet front speakers; 14.5 feet rear speakers. I had to rearrange the room to make them fit. But other than that they work OK. Good luck.

Ditto everything in all the answers and will throw in cord is short, only about 15" -- not a problem for me but could be for some.

Maybe 1.5 feet. It's definitely long enough for desktop use. That's how I'm using them and they're great, no complaints!

The charging cord is abuot 9" long (short but no big deal) and they do work while charging I'm listening know. You can not overcharge these speakers so I guess you cuold leve them plugged in. I'm happy with them!
