Digital camera reviews of Cyber Acoustics 2.1 Computer Speakers (CA-3090)
Digital camera Review: Don't buy these!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Its a shame that the subwoofer on these is total garbage. Nothing but distortion even at low volumes. The satellite speakers sound pretty decent. There are much better choices out there in the same price range. I really regret purchasing these speakers. Waste of money.Digital camera Review: Don't worry about the negatives . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this set, and I am very pleased. First of all, they look sharp. Also, the picture on this site is not totally correct: The right speaker has an on/off button, a volume control, AND a bass control for the sub! This is INCREDIBLY convenient! As far as sound goes, this is not a Bose set, but it is FAR better than my standard speakers that came with my Gateway! The sound is very well balanced, especially with the bass control. There is no distortion, no clicking, no humming. This set is great, easy to use, and great looking. Definitely worth $26!Digital camera Review: Excellent PC Speakers
Summary: 4 Stars
These speakers are well worth the money. The subwoofer has a very clear bass sound. Easy to install and the satellite speakers are very attractive.Digital camera Review: Excellent for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I use these computers in my office to listen to my iPod at work and they work perfectly for this. The sound quality and bass response is good enough that I could easily get into trouble for turning it up too loud. Easy to use and it's a fairly attractive set of speakers. Obviously it's not going to compete with much more expensive sets. They couldn't touch the Logitech Z5300's I have at home. But for a good, cheap set of speakers these are a great option.Digital camera Review: Excellent sound, small size, but bass control is on subwoofer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent little speaker system all things considered. I use it as an upgrade to my kitchen TV, which I mostly use to listen to music channels. And given that it's a tiny little TV without even stereo speakers, this is a big upgrade as you would expect.
However, one disappointment is that the desktop control dial does _not_ have a bass volume control feature, which is specified in the item's description. There is bass control, but it is on a knob attached to the subwoofer. Which, in most cases including mine, sits on the floor out of easy reach under a table. On the upside, for the most part I can leave the bass level at one generally good place, but some songs are overly bassy, and it'd be nice to adjust on the fly as advertised.
But the sound is absolutely amazing, particularly for the price and size. In my kitchen, where the acoustics are awful to abyssmal, this little speaker set comes out like it's a soundproof recording studio. It's one of those things where they've clearly simply gotten it right - the left and right speaker produce crystal clear, warm sound that combines perfectly with the tiny but wildly effective subwoofer. The highs are _very_ crisp and clear, the volume is very good, the bass can be as deep as you need (very impressive considering the tiny, tiny size of the sub!). After comparing it to several others (including several Logitech sets, a brand I've enjoyed thoroughly in the past, and a couple of Altec Lansings), this one comes out ahead for sound quality to my ears even above sets that are twice or thrice the price. The set sounds fantastic, and for under thirty bucks, it's must get.
