Excellent sound for the money
Before buying a new set of computer speakers, I read dozens of reviews on Amazon, Best Buy, and other sites. Overall these speakers got good reviews but the key buying point was the fact that they didn't get any negative reviews or 1 star ratings,unlike Logitech, Altec Lansing, Bose etc. The added bonus was that the speakers came with a volume wheel (allowing quick sound adjustment)and an aux. hookup on the wheel for an ipod. Auxillary jack included. I'm primarily using these speakers to watch Netflix movies (on my computer) and to listen to an ipod. Although I'm not an audiophile, I recognize good sound when I hear it--especially in this price range. Anyone looking to upgrade OEM speakers these are an excellent choice. You won't be disappointed in the sound quality or features.
Good, but not great. For the price, it's a winner.
I bought these because I needed to replace Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers because they were intermittently giving me volume problems. These Cyber Acoustics speakers seemed to have great reviews and I liked the idea of a sub woofer since I often listen to music while working on my computer.
The speakers seem overly bright sounding. On the low end they can put out quite a bit of bass. Unfortunately, they lack a good mid-range sound. My other complaint is that they do not have usb to plug into your computer, rather you have to rely on the green speaker input on your computer, which can be inconveniently located on the floor if you have a mini tower, or at the front of your computer if you have an HP laptop, rather the the side. I wish I could have just plugged these into my usb hub to avoid an additional wire on my desktop.
The wired remote is the best part of the speakers. The blue light on the top helps the remote to stand out, while the spinning volume control is ultra convenient. It also has a headphone jack, aux in, separate bass volume control, and a speaker system on/off switch.
Honestly, I'd pay a bit more for the speakers to have a USB cable rather than a jack, the remote to be wireless, and a slightly bigger mid range driver. A detachable speaker grill would have been nice as well. Anyone with little kids should think twice before getting speakers their kids would be tempted to poke with a pencil.
Other than that, for the price, I'm very happy and plan to pass these down to one of my kids in the near future. They'll be thrilled to have these for their computers. For a budget computer speaker set, this is a good buy, for if you're looking for sound quality rather than sheer volume and looks, keep looking.
I might consider trying Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter, C-Media Chipset, RoHS so I can connect my speakers through usb. I just wonder if the quality will be compromised further doing it this way.
Wonderful system
I didn't buy this off of Amazon, since Staples has it for $25 this week. I bought it since I saw really positive reviews for it on the Staples site, and wow were the review right.
I don't have that much experience with speakers and subwoofers, but from what I've been experiencing so far I would say that these are WONDERFUL for the price.
I first heard it in the Staples store, where I played with the volume and bass, and I really liked it even then. The manager of the store I went to even wanted to buy one but couldn't find it, so I had to go to another Staples. It was definitely worth the trip though.
The bass from the subwoofers are great, the sound quality of the speakers are great, I just love it.
