5.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker system for the price, April 28, 2004

This review is from: Cyber Acoustics CA-3001RB 3 Piece Subwoofer and Satellite Speaker System (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this speaker system a year ago and now it still works fine! The sound quality isn't that bad as some previous reviews stated. On the contrary, high is clear and bass is decent, mid-range is not that vivid though. But, wait, what do you expect for such a tiny little system. It's stylish as well IMHO. I really enjoy it. (...)

1.0 out of 5 stars Broken Subwoofer, March 25, 2004

This review is from: Cyber Acoustics CA-3001RB 3 Piece Subwoofer and Satellite Speaker System (Black) (Electronics)

I've only had these speakers for 6 months and the subwoofer has already stopped working. These speakers are cheap but they are also flimsy and have poor workmanship. Spend the few extra bucks and get something better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lack of shielding is a major problem, January 24, 2007

By 

Thomas Park "Thomas Park" (SEATTLE, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cyber Acoustics CA-3001RB 3 Piece Subwoofer and Satellite Speaker System (Black) (Electronics)

I'm giving these 2 stars because the sound is not horrible, although you certainly should not expect deep sub-bass or high-quality sound.

The real problem is the lack of shielding. As others have noted, the speakers pick up radio frequency interference. Mine make a -loud- and very alarming noise a fraction of a second before my cell phone rings or gets a text message. They also make a strange sound when airplanes fly overhead. Additionally, I get a low hum from them when music is not playing.

Since these are not sheilded, they may also cause problems (interference) with CRT monitors, but I cannot verify this as I have LCD's.

All in all, I would definitely NOT recommend these.
