Not even better than no speakers at all........2004-04-15

I'm building a system from scratch, and I'm on a budget. I got these speakers because I just need something simple for sound. I tried them out on a system that I have already. With these plugged in and the computer on, even if the computer is not in use, they randomly make a loud static sound (sounds just like someone is messing with the speaker plug where it goes into the computer). I checked all connections, disconnected and reconnected several times, to no avail. I also noticed that they sometimes caused distortion on my computer monitor - the monitor worked flawlessly both before having these speakers, and after getting rid of them. I would recommend not having ANY speakers before I recommend buying these.

Horrible speakers..........2003-07-22

I purchased these speakers for a new computer I was building for someone on a tight budget. When I got them home and tried them out, they were awful. If I turned the volume up at all, they distorted like crazy. I turned the volume level down on the computer sound mixer, but that didn't alleviate the problem. I played all kinds of music on them (from classical to rock), but the deciding factor that these speakers were awful was when I was playing James Taylor at a moderate volume level and they were still distorting badly. I immediately boxed them back up and took them back to the store and exchanged them for Cyber Acoustics' CA-3000 2.1 speakers (two satellites and a subwoofer). I highly recommend you spend the extra ten dollars on the CA-3000's and don't bother wasting your time on these speakers. If you really want only the two speakers, try any one of the Labtec Spin 50, 60, 70, or 75 speakers and you'll get better speakers in this price range. These may have just been a bad pair, but I highly doubt it. I may be a bit of an audiophile, but, whatever the price, I cannot justify purchasing speakers that are constantly distorting.

Practically no bass.......2003-03-16

... no matter what you pay, these are cheap-sounding speakers. No bass sound whatsoever, even after tweaking my sound card settings. They sound basically like what comes in a cheap radio.

My coworker's PC has a pair of JBL Pro speakers on her PC; maybe I got spoiled listening to her speakers, but it's amazing how thin the Cyber Acoustics speakers sound compared to the JBL. I'm going to return these. Since I'm not going to be happy with "cheap" speakers I decided to pay a little more and get a different brand of speakers that are slightly higher priced (and better reviewed).

One good thing I can say, is there doesn't seem to be much distortion with the Cyber Acoustics. Also the headphone jack on the front is convenient. And as other reviews of C.A. speakers have pointed out, the blue light on the front IS cool!

I get a lot of radio interference a buzzing sometimes, but otherwise good for your money.
