Cyber Acoustics CA-3810 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System with Subwoofer, 80 Watts Peak Power, Strong Bass, Perfect for Music, Movies, and Games

Great for the price.
I’m a junior-grade audiophile, I know what a “good” set of speakers really is, but I’m not a total snob about audio quality. I think these speakers, like most of the Cyber Acoustics range, provide exceptional value for the price and are of good enough quality even for someone with a fairly good set of ears.Pros:-Full “2.1” setup, with two satellite speakers and a woofer. Outside of some crazy artsy designs, this is minimum for real sound quality.-Good cord lengths. It should be easy to make this speaker set suit most spaces, and only one or two cords run to each part of the unit so you don’t end up with a big mess of cords in any one spot.-Nifty control pod, basically an extra length of wire runs to a combination power switch, volume knob, bass control, and it even has two ports for input and output (or, aux in and headphones). This is present on most CA setups, and it’s a neat idea that makes controlling your speakers or plugging in an mp3 player a snap.-Sound quality is probably 4/5 to a layperson’s ear. It’s not as “full” of a sound as a professional set of speakers, but it’s loud enough to fill an average bedroom or apartment living room with cinematic sound. This is more than adequate for the price, and good enough for any budget home theater or computer desk. This is a true 5/5 when you consider value.Cons:-Only one bass control knob, and it’s more like an equalizer. Some sound systems come with a pre-tuned audio spectrum, and the bass knob is really just how much you want to crank up the subwoofer. On this set, the one “bass” knob is really a cheap equalizer. While that allows for some selection of how you want the setup to sound, the average person should really tune the knob to about 20% and forget it. Turning the knob lower makes the sound “tinny”, higher makes some instruments such as drum and bass overly prominent, messing up the sound mix. However, if you want to crank the bass knob and make your neighbors angry, this setup can do that.-Audiophiles are going to rate these speakers are more like a 3/5, higher notes are a bit tinny and overall range is merely okay. While the bass can be cranked to absurd levels to wake the neighbors, that throws off the sound balance, hurting the overall experience. However, anyone will still agree that these speakers are an incredible value for the price- especially with the handy control pod. Even a hardened audiophile is still going to say this is a good deal for the price.-Only supports “aux in”, meaning you can only get analog audio. For 99% of people this is fine, but audio snobs may cringe.Overall:High recommended as a budget surround speaker system. Perfect for dorms, bedrooms, computer desks or apartment living rooms. The sound quality is certainly better than the price would make you think, and you’ll certainly think you paid twice the price once you dial in that “bass” knob.

Die Anlage kommt wohl direkt aus der USA-dementsprechend ist die Gebrauchsanweisung auch nur in Englisch und Spanisch.Der Elektro-Stecker ist auch nur die US -Ausführung, das heißt, zu dieser Sündhaft-teuren Anlage muß man sich noch ein EU-Adapter-Stecker dazu bestellen!! was ich auch getan habe.Dummerweise ist die Anlage nicht auf unseren 220V Strom ausgelegt, um es kurz zu machen:Stecker in Steckdose, Sämtliche Sicherungen in meiner Wohnung raus, viel stinkerei, Subwoofer gekillt!!!!!und das war’s mit dieser “tollen” Anlage.Also an alle Nachkäufer: unbedingt einen Stromwandler dazwischen schalten!!!Es sollte doch bei diesem Preis möglich sein, so einen Umformer mitzuliefern!?!?

Had their cheaper variant for years. I bought them on advise of an Amazon agent on chat which claimed to be using them too. They were the cheapest and they looked good. After 2 years i still use those for other purpose.Now about the CA-3810! They are twice the price of the first model i bought from Cyber Acoustic, but goddam do they sound 10 times more powerful! The sound is crispy clear and even if i was already convinced that they were offering the best ratio for quality/price, now they are outplaying any competitor!Don’t hesitate, they are worth twice the price they sell it for.
