Cyber Acoustics CA-3090 2.1 Computer Speakers- Black Reviews

• Mediocre sound, occasional clicking

  You get what you pay for. I tried to save money and still get quality sound, and I only saved only. Only a few months after purchasing these, there's a clicking that starts a few hours after the speakers are on and continues, getting louder, until I turn them off and let them cool. Argh.
  
  

• Surprising Sound

  
  By A1843IL6UYDMBH on 2006-03-22
  I was an audio nut long before I was a computer nut and am rather particular about sound. I bought these speakers as a gift for a friend and set them up for her with her computer. At the price, I figured that they would be speakers that would "get her by" so that she could hear what was going on with her computer.
  
  After the speakers were set up, I turned on some music through her onboard sound. I found the speakers to be quite a bit more than expected. They had crisp, clean highs that rival that of my more expensive Yamaha computer speakers. And the subwoofer produces a warm, tight bass that hangs in there even with the deep thump of todays music.
  
  Though I'm a novice at audio equipment set up, I believe that I'd be safe to say that hooking these up would be easy for anyone. Everything is clearly marked.
  
  These speakers have been being used for 3-4 weeks now, and there have been no issues. I would highly recommend these speakers, especially at their price.
  
  One last note, I have been able to personally compare these speakers to, as previously mentioned, Yamaha computer speakers and Creative Sound Labs speakers as well. My opinion is that these sound the best.
  
  

• Amazing for the price

  I was looking for big sound with a very small price tag to fit in a small space and I found it! I am very fussy about sound but knew I didn't have the wallet at the moment to match. But since my very old speakers crapped out, adequate speakers would be better than no music at all. THis system came as a very welcome surprise. The sound is crisp. Subwoofer provides a reasonable amount of bass (you won't get floor thumping out of it) and is not too big for the shelf it needs to fit on. It gets quite a range of sound for the price. And it produces fairly big sound -- not at all that tinny compressed sound of cheap PC speakers. I expected maybe one step up given the price tag but got so much more. If you are on a budget, this is the way to go.
  
  One word of caution from the box -- the subwoofer is not shielded so you have to be careful where you place in relation to your computer!
  
  

• good price, killer hum

  
  By AU91KLPS6B405 on 2004-01-13
  Not sure how this got 3.5 stars from the other raters.
  I bought a set a few days ago for $30 and I think I'll have to throw it out.
  The 60 Hz hum makes it sound like there's a motor big enough to lift an elevator in the room. It's hard to hear the music over the noise.
  I sent customer support a note but no reply.
  
  

• Don't worry about the negatives . . .

  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!
  
  
• not good speakers
  By A1XK9C2UPUX0RR on 2005-01-19
  I have have already exchanged these speakers once, and i am going to return them again. They sound good when you first turn them on, but as time goes on, they start to crackle, pop, and make windy sounds. This continued even when they were disconnected from the computer. I do not reccomend these.
  
  
• Really nice 2.1 speaker set
  By AEW59DLJR73DU on 2006-11-27
  I've owned this speaker set for 2 years of extensive use and it finally gave up on me. It out performed my old Yamaha 2.0 and Altec Lansing 2.1 sets, while priced at fractions of their prices.
  
  Pro:
  Great sound, crisp high, mid & low are present, enough to rock your gaming and personal movie-in-a-pc sessions. Slick design with cool blue light accents on both satellite speakers. Full control with power on/off, volume & bass gain. Very affordable.
  
  Con:
  Vulnerable to cell phone signal interference. Could use deeper bass.

• Excellent PC Speakers
  By A1W021PNSV9YF1 on 2007-10-31
  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.
  
  
• If you like deep, solid bass, these speakers are for you.
  By A4TI005RW9D8H on 2003-11-24
  I like these speakers for two good reasons: The price is right, and they deliver really good bass, which is what I was looking for when I purchased these. The manufacturer was good enough to list some of the specifications on the package cover, which is really what helped me decide on this product. While the sub-woofer definitely delivers the bass, the two satelite speakers are a bit short on the higher frequencies, but still good. So take my word for it, these babies kick--and then some!
  
  
• Really good sound on games and movies!
  By A6AXA6U8WIXC3 on 2006-08-08
  I originally bought for my MP3 player, but started using it for my notebook. Really crisp sound, sounds wonderful on dramatic games and movies, but not on heavy bass. The sub is very "thump sensitive" meaning it WILL thump of of any thing. It pumps out lots of air. P.S. dont listin to those people that are saying nothin but bad stuff, personally I think they are from other companies trying to prevent people from buying the product! So thats what i have to say.
  
  
• Good PC speakers for the money
  By A2QI404ZLROJBP on 2007-05-06
  I hooked these up to my PC and it plays great, it's moderately proportion between the Bass and Terrible, but missing midrange... good set of speakers for the money.
  
  
• Cyber Acoustics CA-3090 2.1 "excellent choice"
  By A1XTZ14IPIJYTV on 2008-04-30
  The speakers are great!
  
  From the moment you lift the box you will realize that this is a very light shipment. THe design is simple and elegant, the speakers are not so big that they distract from your computer, or too small that they are easily dismissed.
  
  It takes almost no time to set up everything to the computer and begin to enjoy them. These are definitely a must have for anyone who wants good speakers and does not want to spend too much on them.
  
  
• Quality speakers, lasted multiple years
  By A2OWWOOCKWDCTR on 2008-08-06
  I bought this product a few years ago along with my brother, and it's been very reliable (and visually appealing), especially considering the price.
  
  My brother's only problem thus far has been with the blue lights on the speakers, which no longer work, but the speakers themselves are fine, and he's had them longer than I.
  
  I've had it for years, and just recently the subwoofer has cut out, so it's time for some new ones, but for 20 dollars, 2+ years ain't bad.
