Cyber Acoustics CA-3090 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer with 18W of Power – Easy Setup and Convenient Controls, Great for Music, Movies, and Gaming | Includes video game adapter cable and warranty for gaming, audio and entertainment

i Installed the system on my work computer's desk which is about 6" away from a flat wall. The satellite speaker(s) are located and both left and right side of my 24" Computer monitor desktop at about the same distance (24") to my ears.The satellite speaker are set approximately 24" apart and are set at full on volume. The woofer speaker (small black box) has it's volume bass control set at maximum and is located on the floor. Sound balance is ok and the volume is nominally acceptable. However, you will NEVER hear a complaint that the sound level is TOO loud. Do NOT expect anything remotely close to "ear-splitting" sound levels out of this system.If you like loud music - spend more money. Manufacturing and packing were very good. Approximately 7 years ago I purchased another sound system made by this manufacturer . It still functions well.

I really cannot believe this product. It's pretty hilarious to me actually. Thoroughly impressed here. I originally purchased this product back in 2016, back then for only $24. It only recently (August 2021) finally failed me; one of the speakers blew out. For the price point of what I paid, the very fact that I got as many years out of this product, for the level of unassuming quality it presents, wow; just wow. Now don't get me wrong, this is no Logitech special or anything, but for $30, holy *fill in censored word here*, this can't be beat. I bought this thing fully expecting super sub-par sound quality and just needed something that gave me sound in general. I am surprised and please to say that what I got instead was seemingly a rare and great product. I'm no sound pro, but **I** always thought it sounded good enough to make me enjoy my music to handle homework, gaming, etc. It was to the point it never gave me any problems and sounded good enough that I figured I would just wait until it broke to replace it; as I said earlier only recently took place. I replaced this system with the Logitech Z407 (I now love that set up a lot). But if you are on a very tight budget and need something/anything, but really hoped for something that sounded very decent, look no further. This workhorse of a product ought to be in your cart by the end of you reading this.

I bought these speakers because the small home arcade machine I recently built came with the lamest speakers I've ever heard. The arcade's original speakers offered no bass, tinny audio, and just didn't give that accurate arcade feel. I'm happy to say, for the cost, these were a perfect replacement.I was able to remove the old speakers and pop these speakers into the top of the cabinet. The sound quality is so much better now. The control knob is useful if you want to make some finer adjustments to the sound, but honestly the audio switch on the cabinet is enough for what I need, so I just set it to max and hid it inside the cabinet next to the subwoofer.On the topic of the subwoofer, it won't win any awards. Even on max it doesn't give a whole lot of kick. That said, it does punch the audio up just enough that you get the weight of the hits and explosions in the games. It's not loud enough to disturb anyone in a nearby room, and it won't even come close to shaking the walls or floors, but for a simple home arcade setup, it'll get you where you want to go. I imagine if you had multiple small arcade cabinets in your space, you'd possibly want a bit more oomph, but for a quiet home office with a novelty arcade machine, it's perfect.All-in-all, I'm happy with the purchase. Could the sub use a little more power? Sure. But for my specific use case, it's perfect.

the volume knob is great,I love that there is a headphone jack on the knob too. I'm sad to say that the volume knob doesn't make up for the short comings.The jack that the satellites plug into is very temperamental at best, one of them is almost never working . The input has to be less than 100% into the jack for the 2nd satellite to actually be engaged and getting to the sweet spot is very difficult to catch at times. So many times you're only going to hear one side of the mix.The subwoofer is great,it is actually 100X more than I need. I'll almost only turn it up a tiny bit because it is way too much and far too loud compared to the high end (especially when one of those doesn't even work).Sometimes I'll have the volume set to max and can barely hear it. I have to unplug the it from the outlet and when I plug it back in its louder. This is highly annoying to have to randomly reach down and start messing around with my power strip.I purchased this because the audio quality of my old speakers was crap and had next to no bass at all. The trade off has been questionable.;; Edit 2020-08-2618 months and it looks like the subwoofer is dying or something, it just start cutting out and in at random. Despite never actually moving the subwoofer and hardly ever touching it the volume knob on the back of the subwoofer appears to be loose. I suppose it might be a loose connecting inside but how that could have happened is a mystery to me. Downgraded review from 2 to 1 star.

See update below...1st review: For the price, it's decent. The volume controller is the number 1 feature that I was looking for so I can manually control the volume of my speakers or headphones. Headphones and/or auxiliary devices (iphone, android, etc.) connect to the volume controller as well (auxiliary cable not included), which is convenient.My only issue seems to be one that others have complained about. There is a constant humming or buzzing sound coming from the subwoofer. The hum is a low sound but I can hear it pretty well. The hum is on from the moment that it is plugged in and switched on (via volume controller), and does not change in volume when the volume of the speakers are changed.UPDATE: A few minutes after writing this review, I realized that I can switch off the subwoofer and speakers via volume control knob BUT still listen and control volume of attached headphones which is AWESOME. I listen via headphones probably 30+ hours a week, and I listen via speakers and subwoofer probably less than a couple hours a week.UPDATE 10/16/2014: I bought another set of these speakers. It seems the hum is not as bad, but still a little noticeable, compared to my first set. I notice that some songs sound better than others with the subwoofer. There are times when I just want to throw away the subwoofer. Then there are times that it's not bad. I wonder at times if I would have rather have paid another $30 to have a better set of speakers. I don't know. I mainly use my headphones so it doesn't bug me too much, I suppose. The two small speakers were great for my use. And, again, the volume control knob is awesome. I use it all day long everyday.UPDATE 12/07/2014: For the most part, I don't use the subwoofer because I am always plugged in with my headphones. The few times that I've listened to music without headphones, I have been unhappy with the subwoofer. It's pretty bad. Even with the knob on the subwoofer turned down almost all the way, it sounds distorted and terrible. I don't know why. It's that way with my other set of the same speakers too, so it's not just this particular one. I guess I get what I paid for, which I think is still fair. I may fork out $75-$100 later on to get some better, name-brand speakers that sound better.

This set of speakers was worth my money and Cyber Acoustics rarely disappoints...only thing I do not like is the movable volume that is a separate piece from the woofer and speakers...this could lead to damages if it breaks

Sounds great. Perfect for setup

Disappointed. Several years ago I purchased a desktop speaker set like this for my office computer setup and have loved it. So when I was looking for a similar setup for my bedroom, I was expecting a similar experience. That isn't what I got.I chose this unit because I recognized the volume controller. But they didn't turn out to be the same. On my original device, I can control the bass on the sub woofer from a dial on the side of the volume controller. However, on this model you control the amount of bass on the subwoofer itself. Where I placed it behind my bed, it is incredibly difficult to get to and adjust.One reason I purchased this is that I have been using bluetooth speakers with my phone / tablet in the bedroom to be able to play music / ambient sounds (ocean waves, etc.). But the lowest volume setting is still too loud sometimes and the next click down mutes the output entirely. So one thing I DO like on this new set up is that I can actually dial the volume down lower and feel like I have much better control. Which is why I wanted the volume controller that I could put on the nightstand and easily change it instead of fumbling with the volume control on my phone / tablet.However, because the sound output on my previous unit is so great, I was expecting better total output on this one. So while this has worked nicely at low volume levels, this new unit is pretty pathetic when you want to turn up the volume. I find myself maxing out the output on my phone, on the bluetooth device this plugs into, and then on the speakers and am still quite underwhelmed. I put on some music this morning and could barely hear it from the ensuite bathroom.Summary:Controller = Good on control and low end, bad on being able to control bassSpeakers = decent on low volume, but underwhelming on louder volumeSubwoofer = OK bass, but very inconvenient to adjust on the back of the subwooferCables = too short. I placing the subwoofer in the middle of the bed, the speakers would barely reach the bed frame on a king size bed.Overall, I'm tempted to return it. I would not have purchased it had I known what I now know about it.

necesitaba un sistema 2.1 para audio ambiental, soy más una persona de usar audífonos pero me llamó la atención este producto por su bajo precio, hay reviews en internet y pues brindan lo que necesitas, este sistema es muy bueno y estéticamente me gusta bastante, el tamaño es bueno y su potencia igual, realmente no hay otro sistema 2.1 a este precio y con estas características, sirve para mi computadora, celular y visualizar películas, en un cuarto de 6x6 metros, las uso en un volumen medio y se siente la diferencia de tener el subwoofer, la calidad es aceptable y el mando giratorio está muy coqueto(volumen) y tiene auxiliar y entrada de audífonos, su luz led combia bien con mi computadora, realmente es un buen producto en el aspecto de "precio/calidad", lo compré de importación, lo enviaron por DHL, llegó excelentemente embalado.

For the asking price, this is a great 2.1 speaker system for a PC.The two speakers are well designed with built-in pedestals to hold them upright. They have a nice shiny black on silver color that blends well and matches many modern computer setups. The sound quality of the two speakers is decent, but highs can be a little muddied with the bass from the subwoofer, making some voices occasionally difficult to hear. I wish they were just a bit louder, they seem to be lacking some “oomph”.The subwoofer itself is small but mighty with plenty of bass that really enhances the overall listening experience. You won’t get ground shaking lows, but the bass is immediately noticeable and really adds to the overall experience when gaming or watching movies.The subwoofer has the main 2 prong power cable and the two speakers plug into the back with an aux plug built in to the speakers. There is a small dial on the rear of the sub to adjust the amount of bass, but I found leaving it at the halfway point to sound the best.Very happy with this speaker set overall, for less than $40.00, can’t go wrong.

buena calidad de sonido excelentes

Good product for the money, I have my phone connected to it in my home office and it works well, sound quality is good ... reason I gave a 3 instead of a 5 is simply because when volumes is all the way up (on phone and speakers) it's not terribly loud. At max volume it's at a good listening volume for the room. But it looks good good, works and it's cheap .... I would recommend

el articulo es bueno pero se oye tapado el sonido, pero cumple con su funcion
