Cyber Acoustics CA-3090 2.1 Speaker System, 18W, Subwoofer | Compact 2.1 PC Speaker System; 3.5mm Audio Connection; Volume Control Pod; Subwoofer Adjustable Bass; Music, Movies, Gaming

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.

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 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.

Pros: When they work, they deliver great audio for the price you pay Cons: THEY PRETTY MUCH NEVER WORK My set had wiring issues on arrival rendering the left speaker dead, and the replacement I received ALSO had wiring issues, this time around the sub box, sub was completely dead after less than a week I ordered one of these as computer speakers, and right out of the box the left speaker was completely dead on arrival. Even plugging headphones into the speaker's audio jack resulted in no audio coming from the left side of the headphones. Other than that, I got great sound quality from just the right side speaker + sub. I sent my damaged product in for a replacement. While testing out the replacement product, I noticed that the sub randomly died. If i pushed the power cable to a certain angle, the sub would kick back in, but when I let the cable dangle freely the sub would frequently die, and when it would work there would be a really annoying loud fuzz sound until I physically propped the cable back up. If the wiring on either of the products I received had been properly done, this product would easily be 5 stars for the audio quality you get for the price. However, receiving two brand new damaged items is just too much of a coincidence for me, and I suspect that these speakers probably don't last very long even if they function properly out of the box. UPDATE: I have had these for almost a whole week and sub is already completely dead. Really wish I had paid attention to how many other 1 star reviews listed this exact / very similar problem. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY, this product will crap out on you pretty much as soon as you take it out of the box.

Clear sound, I bought two sets of these, one for m y computer build and one for my sons computer build. After approx 1.5 year mark, mine started to have sound breaking up issues, when I troubleshot it, the 2.5 millimeter plug that goes out to the other two speakers was loose and the solder joint is broken on the board. I'm not sure if it was a bad solder from the factory or if the plug got bumped and cracked the joint. These are 100% budget speakers, sound quality and build. Keep that in mind. My sons set, one of his speakers quit working around the same time, but he still uses the subwoofer and the other speaker.

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

(After one month of daily use...) I give 5 stars based on what the product is for the price. It certainly isn't the same quality that a system would be if it were 10x the cost, but it is very nice. I would buy it again if the situation came up and would be open to giving it as a gift. The system is made up of two side speakers and a subwoofer with a control pad for volume changes and inputs. Everything is corded and each attached cord is plenty long enough to stretch around to different parts of your computer desk. I purchased this particular system heavily because of the control pad. I keep my speakers behind my computer screen and it is a pain to reach around each time to adjust the volume. With the control pad (which has its own cord,) adjusting the volume is extremely simple, and I barely need to move at all to do so. To change the volume you simply rotate the top piece of the control pad. It takes very little effort to move but still is resistant enough that your volume doesn't get out of control too quickly with a light touch. There is an auxiliary port as well as a microphone port on the side of the pad. Also, the pad emanates a dark blue light in the form of a ring in the center of the top of the pad (about the size of a nickel.) As far as sound quality goes, the bass was a little hard to get right. It took a few extra minutes to get the right balance for it. Other than that initial extra work, I have had a wonderful experience with this system and I recommend it for others. My total setup was 10 minutes from box to permanent placement and use.

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 bass Speakers = decent on low volume, but underwhelming on louder volume Subwoofer = OK bass, but very inconvenient to adjust on the back of the subwoofer Cables = 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
