I'm not much of an audiophile, so this speaker is great for me. It is basically a set of inexpensive desktop speakers in the hassle-free confines of a 5' 1/4" bay. Also perfect for a younger child's computer, so you don't have to worry about the speakers getting knocked around. This speaker really comes in handy for backup when I take my computer somewhere and I forget my headphones. The speaker can be quite loud and is clearly heard through the front panel on my case, even at mid-range volume. The construction looks a bit cheap, but it is suprising powerful.

Final Verdict: It you don't buy it expecting high-end brand quality, you won't be disappointed. At the price, it can't be beat.

This speaker does its job and nothing more. The sound quality is not that good (a bit tinny and low volume) but I can hear my PC sounds now. If there were something else on the market, I would try it over this model.

I didn't expect TOO much out of this small speaker system. But it does sound as good as I actually expected it to work. It makes for a nice "built-in option" when I don't have other speakers attached.

For the price you can't go bad. Easy to set up and listen to. Makes your tower a big speaker box. I like the fact that the earphone is set in the front of my tower now.

The speakers are fine. they wouldn't play music all that well. I have mine in the base unit cubby of a desk. but, we keep our PC in the family room where we have a stereo system so we don't use the computer for music. I like not having speakers and the extra wires. We have a flat panel, cordless keyboard & mouse and that's it. I nicer selection would have been aflat panel with integrated sound.

After reading other reviews, I was under the impression that the Cyber Acoustics CA-1001W-US Amplified Bay Speaker could be used as an alternate to external speakers. It's possible to do that, but the power socket on this unit has a molex connector, which is the type you see on internal hard drives. In order to use this as an external speaker set, you would need to purchase an AC adapter with a molex plug, and they run around $15-$20.

This product is the size a 5.25" floppy disk drive (for 360K disks), and so it requires a 5.25" bay. It gets power from an available line off of the PC's power supply. There is a mini phono socket on the back of the unit. The product includes a cord with mini phono plugs on each end. One end goes into the unit and the other end plugs into your external speaker jack. There is also a modified full size slot cover so the cord passes neatly from the inside to the outside of your PC. Again, the slot cover is full height so it won't work on mini desktops.

The manuafacturer's description is not to blame, so I am giving the product 5 stars. But I did not try the product before returning it, so I don't know the quality.

It's loud, it's convient and on the go for lan parties. better than monitor built-in speakers. No base or stereo seperation but thats ok and to be expected.
Amazon lied to me and said tha if i spend $30 I get free shipping, well that did not happen.
