I got these as a first 5.1 surround sound set for my computer. It was an easy set up, no problem to tweak the balance, and the control pad is easy to use and looks pretty good too.
However, the bass channel is mis-wired. For 5.1 surround, the bass channel is supposed to be on the same plug as the center speaker. In this set, it seems that the bass is mixed with the left and right channels. The end result is that the subwoofer only fires for sound on the front left/right speakers, not for center or rear. It's a bit jarring, and I'm disappointed that something so basic would be screwed up. I haven't been able to find a workaround to get full bass.
This set will do for now, but I'll be keeping an eye out for a replacement.
EDIT: After contacting CA customer service and about three months waiting, they sent me a revised unit at no charge. This one is somewhat better, as there is now a proper base channel, but I still can't get any bass working through the center channel. Kudos to their customer support, though, they were very pleasant to work with.

This is a great system. Not just for the money, but all around. It has the sound of a system for a lot more money. It is very easy to set up, and has inputs for everything. The only flaw that I can see, is the middle speaker puts out a lot more sound than the others. This might just be when the mp3 input is being used, but even then it is not bad at all. You won't be disappointed with this system.

I bought these for my new computer since it came with a sound card and I got so much better sound quality than with my old computer and the same pair of 2.1 speaker I bought years ago. Still, I wanted better. I love the sound quality when listening to music with these 5.1 surround sound speakers. Having the volume control right next to the keyboard is nice too. It was easy to install with clear and easy to understand instructions. The only thing, and everyone said the same thing, you have to go out and buy extension wires for the rear speakers. One would think that they would realize that the consumer would need something longer than what they supply. I only have a small room, I can't picture what someone with a much larger room would be thinking when they get these. Though I like the look of the speakers, the only other thing I would have liked is the ability to wall mount them. Instead I bought a piece of pine board and made two small shelves and mounted them on the wall for the speakers.

sound is relatively good, good for a dorm room, rather easy to setup. Definitely worth the money. Would recommend to others.

Cyber Acoustics 5.1 speaker system
Works great, love the base control! It comes in handy when you live with others. A ton of base can annoy people that aren't in the same room! Read more

Not a bad set for the price
I upgraded to this 5.1 from my Cyber Acoustics 2.1. The 2.1 had such incredible sound (especially bass), I put it on my living room tv for movie watching. Read more
