There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I am an entertainment industry professional who buys top of the line gear in my professional life, but can't currently justify breaking the budget in my personal life. (If I want Hi-Fi audio, I'll listen at work, I'm there all the time anyway.) However, as someone who has experience with multi-million dollar systems, I still would be horribly tortured if I were to use computer speakers every day of sub-par sonic quality. I'm writing this review with the caveat that these are computer media speakers and not Hi-Fidelity media systems.
The PROS:
- A 30 Watt RMS rating (Which is the average amount of power draw that the speakers pull from the amp) results in a HUGE full sound for a budget pair of computer speakers. Because of this and a 62W peak raiting, as computer speakers go, these sound full and exceptionally clean even at very high volumes. (I'm not sure I've ever run them hot enough to distort them or that I could) Prior to these, I never owned a pair of computer speakers that didn't distort at high volumes. This system has exceptional sonic versatility, especially at this price point. The speakers have a rich, warm sound that lends itself to many different styles of music. The dedicated sub is a nice wood cabinet with a 5.25 inch woofer. The control pod has a small wheel on the side to control low end response from the sub which is a really great thing. My wheel is dialed in at approximately 1/4 volume which provides a nice low to high balance. At full setting, the woofer is completely overpowering and gives a nice option for a user who may need to compensate for some reason or is just obsessed with getting as much low end as possible. (I support your right to listen to muddy music in your own home if you want)
- The volume and control pod is extremely handy, especially for a desktop system. I perch the pod immediately above my keyboard to the right of the monitor. The pod turns and adjusts easily and can be accessed with extremely minimal pressure on top of the wheel. It has become muscle memory for me to be able to easy make finite adjustments to volume with a simple hand gesture right above my keyboard.
- Great industrial design! I'm not sure if this was on purpose or a happy accident which occurred for aesthetic reasons, but the speakers actually work really really well laying on their side in front of a monitor (or two). I've moved these speakers all over the country and had them on large desks to the side of my work-station as well as on tiny desks in front of the monitor(s). The speakers also look really attractive, coordinating nicely with the almost standard black and silver finishes of LED displays.
The CONS:
There is only one major con that I feel I have to write about. Durability may be an issue for some. I should preface this by saying that I have moved these speakers all over the country over the last 3-4 years. (They have probably been transported by me over 30 times) and they haven't always had an easy go of it. I haven't had any issues with components breaking, scratching, or paint deterioration (Which is amazing) but I have had some issues in the last year with contacts in a few of the cables as well as the contact in the control pod. The cable issues are very likely from being moved so often, the control pod contact is likely just from being used every day. The contact has better days than others, but can sometimes be finicky transmitting the left audio signal in a stereo set-up. It is a minor inconvenience and something I am not in the least bit surprised about after four years. Just be aware that if used frequently, the contacts in these components are not likely to last forever.
I would not recommend buying these speakers for any application besides as a workstation set. The pod has an 1/8" TRS connector for headphones, but the contacts in this jack are of very poor quality. Use the phone jack on your computer for direct connection to your sound card if you wish to listen through headphones. There is also an auxiliary plug on the pod, an interesting feature, but also probably should not be a first option for playback from another device. You could use these as speakers for a tablet or other device with 1/8" connector... but you're going to want to use the main 1/8" input that would otherwise be plugged into a PC.
I'm listening to music on these as we speak. For 40 dollars, I will absolutely be buying another set here very soon for a new system and another to replace these worn out contacts.
Clearly, it was time to look at the new kid on the block, the Cyber-Acoustics 3602, the most popular 3:1 system on Amazon and, at an bargain price that's likely to go up before it goes down. Moreover, in a blindfold test the sound of the CA speakers is comparable with that of the SoundSticks. Initially the bass of the CA unit seemed excessive if not overwhelming (from a woofer made of real wood--what will they think of next?). Then I noticed the handy bass-volume control on the included little "pod." It wasn't until cutting back the woofer by 2/3rds that the stunning clarity of the satellite speakers emerged. The sound may not be as "flattering" to the musician-performers as the somewhat "enhanced" audio from the SoundSticks (each with 4 JBL speakers), but what I'm hearing strikes me as more accurate, revealing, natural. The main points:
Appearance:
The SoundSticks have the "Wow" factor, but even the spare HK instructions suggest that you put them under your desk, out of sight, so it's not as though the 3 pieces are all that evident to your friends (unless you have a MOMA-like little theater in your man-cave). The 2 SoundSticks are considerably heavier, because of the the lead base (not bass), and they're an inch or two taller to accommodate the extra speakers. Still, the CyberAcoustics satellites are solid enough to stay in place, and their sound is more accurate if slightly less enhanced. The two speakers in each of the CA satellites are exposed, so the user must be careful not to stick a finger or thumb through one of them. Also they're ported at the top. The SoundSticks, on the other hand, enclose the 4 speakers completely inside each column, out of harm's way, with a port at the bottom rather than the top.
Sound:
Again, the 3-piece SoundSticks sound different (slightly more spacious, rich and full) but not necessarily better. Both CA and HK units have sub-woofers capable of drowning out the mids and highs of the satellite speakers not to mention bombing the user-listener into senselessness. With the SoundSticks you have to get down on the floor to change the volume setting of the subwoofer (which is rarely necessary); with the Cyber Acoustics the volume setting of the subwoofer is on a remote control--a little puck that sits right on your desk, within easy reach. In short, both units have bass to spare.
Flexibility:
Here's where the Cyber Acoustics 3602 really stand-out, your quintessential "A" student. Because of that little puck you can turn the speakers on and off and control woofer balance as well as general volume right from your desktop. With the SoundSticks you have to get down on the floor to turn the system on and off or to adjust the output from the sub-woofer. The general volume control is a gimmicky (but not all that convenient) "touch" surface area of the right satellite. Finally, whereas the SoundSticks have no inputs (like the CA 3606 they have a stereo 3.5 mini-plug going out to your computer or output source), the CA 3606 has two "extra" inputs on its multi-talented little puck. So you can plug in headphones without rearranging the back of your computer AND you can plug in an auxiliary player or tuner without undoing the primary connection (to a computer in most cases). Finally, the CA people have thoughtfully included an iPod stand (put it next to your puck, and insert it via an enclosed shorty cord) as well as instructions more complete than those with the SoundSticks.
Practicality and durability:
Too soon for a reliable report. but I've had problems after the first year with both SoundSticks I and SoundSticks II--small wiring problems leading to shorting out (it's hard not to occasionally kick the sub that's under your desk or nudge the satellites placed in the confusion of a typical desk top). Eventually a "small" problem like the shorting out of a single satellite becomes major and a fix proves impractical or cost-prohibitive. The sub-woofers of the two systems are comparable in size and weight, and both accept a plug with tiny pins that the user must be careful not to bend out of alignment. Frankly, the CA plug looks more user-accessible and, assuming company support is responsive, it would be a small matter to solder a new plug to replace one with bent pins.
In conclusion, this particular 3-piece Cyber Acoustics unit is inarguably the best value in computer speakers. It's a fraction of the price of the SoundSticks II yet equal to the latter in audio quality (imo) and superior in terms of adaptability. Logistics offers speakers in this price range, but not competitive in terms of quality (the top-seller ones going for ten are inferior to the onboard speakers in my iMac). This, my 2nd Cyber Acoustics product, has exceeded expectations. And if it breaks down after a year, I certainly won't feel I didn't get my money's worth. By then, I'm likely to concede that the subwoofer is taking up excessive space under my desk and is really not needed. (Witness what a small Tivoli or Bose speaker can do without one. At that time, I'd look seriously at the JBL Duet speakers (a 2-piece unit that's about ten dollars less than this one).
Top reviews from other countries
I was quite sad when these needed to be retired as they received water damage so the electronics no longer functioned.
One of the main things I did enjoy about this computer speaker set aside from great quality sound was the speaker puck interface. Having that puck with on/off, volume as well as bass all easily accessible was a very appreciated feature. Some computer speaker sets we've owned either has no bass adjustment or that the adjustment is on the rear of the subwoofer so any time you want to make an adjustment it ends up being a larger process than it really should.
The output sound was something which was also impressive. Clear notes as well as even a bit of that boom in the bass, we were surprised at the sound quality from such a small speaker package.
Cyber Acoustics is among our top brands that we always seek out to find either speakers or headphones.

Helpful, is how I hope you find my review
Ahora lo confirmo. El volume hub es muy util, trae entradas para AUX (por si quieres conectar y cambiar rapidamente a un aparato movil), entrada para audifonos (que redirige el sonido a ellos), control de bajo y volumen. Lo mejor es que no ocupa un puerto USB.
El bajo es potente y claro, las bocinas suenan bien pero si hay que trabajar un poco con ellas en la configuracion para llegar a ese punto perfecto en el que las queremos. Yo les baje un poco el agudo para compensar ya que el bajo al principio es muy potente (las vibraciones se sienten en toda la casa) y lo tuve que disminuir un poco.
Las bocinas son de un tamaño justo y no ocupan mucho espacio. En general me parece muy buena opcion para bocinas en entry-level.
