Hercules is back in action, and their latest speaker announcement offers an innovative glossy-black design combined with contemporary features and an attractive price. The Hercules XPS 2.150 Multimedia Speaker System is the latest addition under the XPS speaker brand, and it includes a 2.1 speaker configuration with 2 satellites and a subwoofer. This is a compact set, with the dual satellites checking in at 7.8" H x 2.3" L x 2.1" W, while the subwoofer has 8.6" H x 6" L x 8.6" W dimensions.

But this compact design does not automatically translate into low-end performance, as the Hercules XPS 2.150 Multimedia Speaker System offers a total RMS of 32 watts, with 8 watts per satellite and 16 watts for the subwoofer. The wide-band speakers have a black glossy exterior, along with red speaker styling on the satellites and a contemporary all-black format on the vented wooden subwoofer. The right satellite houses the main controls, which includes a volume dial, a headphone jack and a line-in connector, while subwoofer features the on/off button and bass controls. Hercules has provided a MSRP of $69.99 and stated the XPS 2.150 speakers will be available in December.
