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.

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

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.

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.
