Cyber Acoustics Platinum CA3550RB Flat Panel Design Speaker System

I just have to say, this is one of my better online purchases. The speakers have a sleek, appealing design; the woofer is big but not too big that it gets in the way. When I first plugged them in I was instantly happy with the sound quality. But then I cranked up the volume and power to the woofer... all I can say is it blew me away, almost literally. I never expected inexpensive little computer speakers like these to produce such crisp sound and still manage to rattle the walls in my house (from 2nd floor all the way down to the basement). Pros: - Great speakers for anyone on a budget (such as a poor college student like myself) - Relatively compact size fits anywhere on a desk nicely, but they aren't so small they sound bad - Surprisingly strong woofer gets your house thumping, if you so choose - Separate volume control for sub woofer, easier to control your sound - Long input cable so you have more freedom to move your speakers around your desk - Input is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so it works with anything (laptops, phones, mp3 players, etc) Cons: - Sound gets a little fuzzy when you turn the volume up too awfully high on heavy bass songs (but that's too be expected with almost any speaker anyway) - Because its input is just a headphone jack, the overall quality isn't the best (compared to speakers with component, hdmi, or even usb input) - No alternate headphone jack input, so if your computer only has one headphone jack you will have to switch around your wires if you want to change between speakers to headset (not that this is a huge problem, but I noticed other brands had this feature and I could see how it might be handy) Overall, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good set of computer speakers. I have had mine for a couple weeks and have had no problems with them burning out or anything like other people have mentioned (maybe they just got a bad unit? idk). Let's face it, they are not the best speakers out there, but I challenge you to find a better setup for $40 or under.

I was between this or a $23 logitec 2.1 speaker set. I went with this set mainly because of its great reviews (except the occasional moron who use the set for television or complain because they can't mount it into the headrest of their bed). The wiring has plenty of length, I had lots of extra room to space them how I want(I had to re-wrap the extra wire with the twist ties). The lack of magnetic shielding on the woofer isn't a big deal unless you plan on stacking it on top of your tower. The sound quality is excellent for all my music (I listen to techno, rap, rock, classic rock, metal, and some of the gay but catchy hip hop, everything but country). The controls for the volume and woofer are convenient, and I keep the volume around 1/4 and the bass around 1/2 for loud music. I still have to turn the bass down for some of the rock and metal because it drowns out the vocals. I am amazed at the price (I was about to pay $60 at another site after shipping) with amazon's free shipping (from [...]). I received it two days after I purchased it (four days before estimated arrival). This was a great buy, I highly recommend it for all gaming and music. My brother is replacing his set of speakers with one of these now that he's seem mine.

The desk speakers are low quality and some of the worst i've ever owned. They already sound like they've blown, and I never turn anything up to full blast, and they are designed to fall over at the all-but slightest touch, due to the half oval base that is very thin in the back. The actual speaker only takes up the bottom half, and the top half of the speaker is not even a half inch thick from front to back. It is only an thin, empty case up there. It makes you feel like you got ripped off a bit because they are only that tall for show, to mislead buyers who look at the main photo. In contrast, the subwoofer seems to be of excellent quality and feels like it is worth the price. It has a nice weight to it and puts out beautiful and powerful sound. I have zero complaints about it and its performance for me has been nothing but top-notch. Feels like they slapped crappy tweeters they had left over with a good subwoofer to get rid of old components. They are good replacement speakers but I will be going with a different manufacturer when I replace them, though i'll try to do something to keep the subwoofer as part of my sound system.. Overall, they are good but i'm disappointed as some of the sound crackles after just the first day of use, though the subwoofer puts out excellent sound and has weight to it where as a light breeze would knock over these flat desk speakers,

These are extremely affordable speakers with a bit more sound than I was expecting. There's definitely some downsides, but for the price I can't really complain. Get them if you need a basic set of speakers with a bit of bass. Pros: The bass is deep enough to light up a room. it's not so loud you'll wake up the neighbors, but it'll be enough for a small to medium room. The highs are actually very nice. The tabletop speakers are bright and loud enough. Cons: Their are no mids whatsoever. The tabletop speakers are far too small to give you a full sound (and they have virtually zero depth); the one bass speaker is dedicated to bass. That means anything in the middle just isn't there. It has problems with shielding noises and headphones. I frequently got a 'click click click' sound with headphones. I finally figured out it was my monitor interfering and moved it around. Trouble is, the base is so small it inches toward the monitor and I have to move it back. Controls are minimal and clunky. One bass wheel adjusts bass, On/Off button works just fine and the volume wheel is small and not easy to adjust without grabbing the whole unit. I'm not too surprised at the "cons" for the price. I put up with them because I wanted a cheap replacement, and for that, these speakers work perfectly.

I am very happy with these speakers! A great sound for a small price. No distortion at high volume and a deep bass sound. I use compose music on my computer and use it like a three man band and play along with my electric guitar. Great sound and volume.

Maybe I expect too much but 15 years ago I bought Dell2.1 speakers for $80 that put these to shame. As other reviews say, "thunderous bass" - at 1/10 volume. Turn volume up to half and you might as well turn off the sub for the distortion it emits. I would return them but would have to pay half the value to ship back. Do not recommend.

Nice compact good sound without all the clutter. Wire are of a good length and controls are easy to us.

Great sounding set at this price. It is great to have the separate base control and volume control on the bottom of one of the speakers, not separate as on some other models. Would recommend!

Amazing speakers with small towers that puts out an incredible amount of bass for its size
