Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The first thing that strikes you about this speaker system is its elegance. When you hear the price tag your thoughts turn to "unbelievable, how can a system like this be so affordable? " Then there is the performance, complete with a wooden subwoofer cabinet and flat panel satellite speakers, are powered by a built-in 26 watt amplifier. The deep rich bass response and crystal clear highs are balanced perfectly.

Amazon.com Product Description
The CA-3080 is an affordable three-piece flat-panel subwoofer system. The two 2.5-inch magnetically shielded satellite speakers take up a small amount of space and can be placed next to monitors or other video devices without causing distortion. The 4-inch, 14-watt high-excursion subwoofer provides excellent bass performance for music and digital audio applications. This is a great solution for those with limited desktop space.

Cheap speakers March 3, 2007
I needed extra speakers immediately for a last minute project and had to buy these at Radio Shack because they were the closest store that was open. If I had had the time to shop around I would have purchased something much better.

The sound quality is so-so and about what you expect for low-end computer speakers. They need an isolation filter and better shielding. The light in one speaker started flickering 3 weeks after purchase and went out completely 2 months later. The lights serve absolutely no purpose other than to let you know the system is powered on, so it is not a big deal. The blue lights are kind of unattractive and cheap-looking anyway.

The connector to the subwoofer is very poorly constructed so that it generates significant noise whenever the wire is touched. If you have the wires lying around unprotected or dangling off the back of the desk, you are likely to have issues with noise and static.

The worst part is that the speakers are sensitive to cell phone signals. Anytime a cell phone call comes in or goes out and the phone is within 15 to 20 feet of the speaker, there is a extremely loud clicking signal passed through the speakers. Also, anytime the cell phone is pinged by the phone system, this noise occurs - you don't need to have a call coming in to have it happen. I have no other speaker system that has this happen to it. I've had the speakers for about 8 months now and would have replaced them if I used them more often, but I don't. I don't have the time to open up the subwoofer and the satellite speaker to fix the shorting issues, so I can't say if the problems are even repairable. I assume they are, but they never should have been so poorly made to begin with.

The good thing is that these speakers are pretty cheap. It is hard to find anything much cheaper than these and sometimes that is all that you want -- something that puts out sound and not necessarily of good quality. So if you want to take the chance to buy them and they don't work out for you, you aren't going to be out a lot of money. On the other hand, there are much better speakers for about the same cost, so you shouldn't have to throw away good money on these when you have other alternatives.

Great for the price, or twice as much January 23, 2007
I bought a pair of these at Micro Center. I had a 20 year old Sony TV with a great picture, and a worn out speaker. Any shop repair would have cost over $100. Micro Center had a lot of computer speakers set up on a display wall, so you could switch between them to compare them (I am a recovering audiophile, on step 6).

These speakers had the best sonic balance of any of the speakers under $100. You need to adjust the bass carefully, or you will get too much, which is an interesting problem for a $30 speaker set. They are bright, but the midrange is fine, if you carefully tune the bass so it doesn't over power the midrange.

On my Sony TV, I went from a "lo fo", 3 inch built in speaker, to "HI FI" sound with floor pounding bass, in just five minutes. I got full range sound quality, similar to my audio/tv system in the den (a lot more $$$$ in that system). It sounds great and you won't believe the great audio you can get from a 20 year old TV set's headphone jack!

I am now buying a second set to beef up an i-pod boom box in my workshop. It has great features, and very mediocre sound. These Cyber Accoustics speakers will make the 'box so much more listenable.

Let your imagination go wild with the great ways you can use these great little speakers!

I gave them a try but i'll still with my old ones December 24, 2006
Staples had these for $15 so I thought I would try them out see if they were any better than my PC's OEM Speakers. My OEM speakers didn't have a woofer so i was excited to see the sound difference. Like other reviews have said all the bass comes from the woofer and all the treble from the fronts... i mean ALL though. The mids and highs sound terrible, not even a hint of lows from the two speakers so these only sound good if you are sitting across the room, but then they wouldn't be PC speakers.

I know these are only $15 but I prefer my old cheap oem ones with no woofer because the mids and highs are decent and the lows are there but not profound. These are probably good to hookup to your gaming system to help if your TV doesn't produce good lows but for a "PC" setup... I don't recommend them.

Great speakers for the price, but not for the extremely discerning May 23, 2006
They sound really good and they look techy too. The sound is a bit "tinnier" than I would have liked, but the bass from the subwoofer is great. It comes with a Y-adapter for use with left/right audio cables (like on a Playstation or something). There's a power button, a volume wheel, a bass wheel, and a headphone jack on the right speaker. The bass is automatically reduced along with the volume. The subwoofer plugs into the outlet, the right speaker plugs into the subwoofer and audio jack, and has a permanent (but long) cord connecting to the left speaker. The blue light (on the new model) is a bit gimmicky but looks neat nonetheless. The speakers are magnetically shielded and the subwoofer is not, but it's supposed to go on the floor anyway. The AC adapter is much smaller than usual (and more convenient). For the price, they're a steal.

Check Out Eddy Bone's "Um...don't believe all the bad reviews" Review... December 12, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

... because that says it all. I've been in professional audio work for the past 20 years so I think I have a decent perspective on the matter. That review pretty much sums it up. Cheap? Yes Good for the price, Yes, ESPECIALLY with some EQ tweaking (of which any version MS Media higher than 8.0 has). So, uh... yeah! :)
