Cyber Acoustics CA-3602FFP 2.1 Speaker Sound System with Subwoofer and Control Pod - Great for Music, Movies, Multimedia Pcs, Macs, Laptops and Gaming Systems

Purchase this after spending a couple weeks researching for an ideal solution to a home theater project I was working on. My goal was the home theater project was to have a low-profile (or as close to it) speaker system that gave me good quality 2.1 sound without breaking the bank. The biggest thing I didn't want was to have a giant clunky receiver, but still have a way to control the sound coming from the speakers. After narrowing the speakers to a three candidates, the ratings and reviews this one received was what ultimately lead to me purchasing this unit. The Good Sound quality is very loud for such small speakers. I have this speaker attached to a HDMI-to-Audio adapter, that's connected to a Roku 3 as it main audio source. I understand that this is an abnormal setup, but it works for our current situation. I wanted clear crisp 2.1 sound while watching a movie in our home theater projector room, and that's exactly what I got. I have to agree with a few of other reviews, in that this speaker system can be very loud is you want it to be. We normally watch movies with the volume set to about 45-50% due to how loud these speakers can get. Best of all, this package offered a 2.1 home theater solution with a respectfully small foot print. These next two categories are more nit picking than anything else, but I usually follow this spaghetti western format for most of my reviews. The Bad The sound from the bass is weird. Not entirely sure if this is the actual base unit itself, or the fact that the base is located on a wall shelf behind the sofa, or the fact the speakers are located in front of the sitter and the base is located behind. Too many variables to directly pinpoint why the bass sounds a bit off, but we've learned to adjust. Not to mention, the bass can be quite intensive depending on the movie, and as a result I usually keep it just loud enough to enjoy the sound effects in the movie(s), but not loud enough to feel the effects on my bones. The base on the speakers cannot fixed onto the unit and there's no easy way to wall mount the speakers, but it's not impossible to improvise. There's a screw hidden in the bottom of the speaker, and I think a little bit of glue attaching the base to the speaker; both of these can easily be removed. Also, if you want to mount these on the wall, it's relatively easy to install insert some simple picture hanging hooks into the back of these speakers. I would be careful with the size of the hooks you use, but there's plenty of room in the back cavity of the speaker to accommodate an eye/hinge picture frame hook. OOK 59242 32 Piece Assorted Frame Back Kit The Ugly This is definitely more of a nit pick than anything else, but I which the controls for this speaker system would have used a IR remote versus a physical dial. I completely understand hat these are being sold as PC/Gaming speakers, and that most gamers would probably prefer a dial just in front of their keyboards to control the sound; an IR remote would just get in the way. Still, it would have been nice. Conclusion When I purchased this speaker set, I was expecting some complications from somewhere due to my unique setup, but luckily I didn't. The speaker have performed well beyond my expectations, especially considering what I paid for them. I would not have any issues recommending these speakers to anyone looking for an affordable home audio solution.

Great system, despite the neigh sayer reviews, for the price ! Unless one wants to invest in a high end amp/receiver along with the speakers, (Mine is a pioneer based a/v home 5.1 theater) which in my case lives in the living room, and I bought this low cost system for my tv in my bedroom. The package I received works great, compared to the built in speakers the television had and does or can improve any tv sound beyond any built in speaker system they have ! Bar none ! Also, lets go back in price, For abt $ 40 bucks or so, they work very well and at that price if they last more than a couple of years before they carp out , so be it ! I do have another pioneer a/v amp/receiver collecting dust, but to put it in i would have to (and someday will , maybe) buy some more speakers and properly run the wires to make it all work. Which buying just one speaker to do justice to the capability of my spare amp/receivers capability would cost at least five and many more of the system I am reviewing , now double or more likely add the other speaker plus a sub woofer and it would end up several hundreds of dollars. But I am also talking of a high end system, just to do a 2.1 speaker system. But i am getting off track. There has been some confusion on the the left and right speaker wires and separation, as those two speakers come out of the box it seems it is a long cable without much separation, but the cable is a 'Zip" cord and fully unzipped mine has a tad over 10 foot straight line separation possible (hint! a few inches before the plug to the big box take some zip ties and clench them a few inches along the speaker cable and before the plug on a unzipped part of the speaker wires, trust me you will have less problems later ) between speakers, that in the real world it will probably be less, but still offers possibility. Love the system, my only not so much of a complaint is the satellite controllers bass volume control is heavenly biased in adjustment range with most of the range more bass and with a narrow fine sweet spot for system balance that does not favor bass over everything else. For the price , well valued ! And if it only lasts a year or so, still worth the price, compared to spending major bucks for a better system.. A happy camper said this ! I also suspect maybe the failures are because they are being driven to the max all the time, and possibly being moved frequently, in that case, the plugs/ components the built in electronics plus maybe also the speakers will fail early, sorta taking a car and driving it at max speed and racing it all the time, hell on the engine , drive train and tires and that car will have a short life, tho the body and interior may still look new.. Grin !

So I purchased this speaker set to use on my desktop computer. I wasn't expecting much but it really did come out to be a great buy. It was extremely easy to setup without any need for instructions. I can list a few things that I liked about this speaker: 1) It has a great sound, it gets very loud and is very clear. 2) I love the little control panel that goes to your desk. I had a speaker before that you had to adjust it on the sub and it was annoying. 3) It's appealing. The speaker has a nice looking design and is not boring like other speaker sets can be. The blue light on the control panel is a nice touch. There were, however, a few things I feel it fell short on: 1) Even though the sound is great, the subwoofer does not really pack a punch and if you try and turn the bass up it starts to sound worse. I can't really expect much for the price of the device, but with how big the subwoofer was I had higher expectations. 2) I might be blind, but the speakers are not clearly labeled Left/Right. So I had to use the software on my computer to determine that. 3) There is no mute button on the control panel (not that I found). I was kind of hoping the middle of the control panel was a way to mute it, but it's nothing. Even with these downsides I still only docked 1 star because I found it be a great value and great product. Some songs sound better with bass than others. I listed to a lot of electronic music, so that does push it. If you're looking for a cheap set of speakers, definitely give these ones a try.

Me encantaron estas bocinas con su subwoofer. Tienen un sonido muy cristalino, ideal para PCs. Su sonido también es muy potente. Ideal para un cuarto de trabajo. Las recomiendo ampliamente. El pedido me llegó bien en embalaje, pero la bocina izquierda no se escuchaba así que pedí reemplazo del producto. A los pocos día me llegó el reemplazo nuevo. Fue un poco molesto este cambio pero no me arrepiento de haber adquirido el equipo. Si buscas buena calidad y a bajo precio, esto es lo que necesitas.

You can pay more but unless you are looking for serious audiophile sound quality you'll be wasting your money. These are budget priced speakers for sure, but the quality is better than many sets at double the price. The two most recommended speaker sets for the price are these and the Logitech Z323s. I've used both so I'll make a comparison. Both the CAs and Logitechs produce likely the best sound output and quality in the price range. They basically have two differences. Firstly the CAs include a wired remote pod that allows you to adjust the volume and bass (gain) without reaching for the speakers or sub like the Z323s. In terms of sound the CA-3602s provide a warmer tone with better output on the high frequencies. I decided to use them with my laptop where proximity to the speakers reduces the need for high bass output and I can enjoy a warmer more balance music output and, in my opinion, slightly better sound quality overall. The Z323s provide more low frequency output and resulting bass and I might argue slightly higher overall volume. I used them as speakers on an HTPC in a medium sized living room where streaming TV/movies, the low tones providing better sound for sfx, though don't expect true theatre sound at this price. I reserve my full surround sound setup for the basement. Short answer. These are great as are the Z323s. Get the CA-3602 for better high sound production and the Z323s for better bass but neither will disappoint.

Excelente sonido y potencia, su control alámbrico puede regular el subwoofer sin necesidad de ir atrás de la bocina de graves, muy práctico.

Más grandes de lo que esperaba con un sonido muy bueno se ven de muy buena calidad y es muy fácil de conectar se le puede subir volumen con la rueda que traen tanto a la bocina y también a los Speakers estoy muy satisfecho y espero que me duren mucho ya que leí muy malos comentarios por los americanos en inglés y en cambio por parte de los latinos muy buenos comentarios, en los Estados Unidos tienen una garantía de un año y lo malo es que aquí no, se puede utilizar con celulares,tablets,pc,televisores, otra cosa mala es que cuando lo conectas a la televisión tienes que estar desconectandolo si quieres escuchar el volumen del sonido con tu televisión.

Well I purchased and was impressed with the overall sound using the Sub. The speakers alone are not great as they have hardly any low frequency at all but when the sub is at the right volume it sound wonderful and fills in all the right lows. Now the bad part is the woofer and controller have died only 6 weeks into using it which is unfortunate. I will now try the Cyber Acoustics support and update you on the results in a future update.
