Summary: Superb Sound Quality- Absolute Steal of a price.
Review: Let me get something straight. For all of you guys who just read all those reviews about this sound system stinking, hows for a little pish posh. These speakers are fantastic. I am a DJ, and own a home studio down in Maryland. My Amplifier recently fried, so I needed a low budget temporary replacement, fast, i turned to the 8 inch subwoofer and said, yeah. The monitors (satellites) provide very crisp treble and mid-range waves, and are suitable for recording! A little equalization helps, but it really isn't necessary. 2.5" drivers really give out very defined highs, and are a solid sound for their size. The subwoofer... Oh yeah!
The Subwoofer provides deep bass, which is easily adjusted if you are one not to like that. The Bassreflex driver is iron-casted, and i'm tellin you, it performs like a concert. The voice coil provides even deeper sound, and probably some of the richest deep ends i've heard yet. BUilt in amplifier means just plug in your source, and play it loud, 68 watts really sounds a lot louder through this system. I highly recomment this in any home studio or any home audio system for that matter.Cyber Acoustics is getting ripped off on soopa high quality audio. Go get it!!!! ;) DJ Flannel

Summary: Beware this brand
Review: My son just bought a pair for our computer. Given the generally marginal quality of mp3 computer audio, these speakers are fantastic for the price.

Summary: Pleasant suprise.....
Review: Picked these up on Saturday, day before yesterday, to accompany a new PC I also bought. Spent all day Sunday burning CDs so I listened to a variety of music on them, and they came through with flying colors. They sound good, from mid-low bass up through the highs. Not much really low bass, but it would not be reasonable to expect it from an 8" sub with 26 watts that cost less than half a c-note. Nice package, look good, easy to set up, price was right, sound just fine - what's not to like? They were the best sounding set at the giant electronics store I got them from. Sales asst said they fly off the shelves as soon as they come in.

Summary: Faulty Subwoofer
Review: This product was for a great price but the sound that it put out was very tinny and sometimes very distorted at low and high volumes. The largest problem i had was that the subwoofer crackled a lot. 1 out of 3 times i turned it on it would just start crackling. I regret getting this product and have realized that in terms of sound systems, the size does not matter. This is proved by the fact that the satellites are really half the sizr that they look. The actual driver is located on the lower half of the satellite and the upper half has nothing behind the covering. This was dissapointing. Do not be fooled by the size of this system. You can spend your money on a lot better system than this one.

Summary: Lucky It Was Dead-Out-Of-The-Box
Review: While in an electronics store the other day I had an "impulsive buyers attack" and bought this system without researching it first. Fortunately, it was dead-out-of-the-box (DOOB), which means it simply did not work. I say fortunately, because after my purchase I discovered that two friends had also purchased the system. Before returning my dead system to the store, I visited my friends to hear how the system sounded. Both used the system with their PCs--one had the same problem I had (DOOB), but unwittingly exchanged it for a working one. The sound of both systems was very poor. 1) the satellite speakers were full of static from the computer, I guess and there was just no getting away from the static no matter what we did. 2) The base woofer was overly boomy, which for some types of music might not be noticeable, but for PC sounds and MP3s is not acceptable. Again, we tried every adjustment possible to cut down on the distortion but to no avail. 3) One final thing that bothered me, a list of the usual system specs that consumers often use to compare models was no where to be found--not on the box, not in the box, not in the manual. The box only says "Power Output 68 watts" which one must assume is peek power. Interestingly, as I researched this product on the web, I saw several listings showing only 40 watts for power output. Granted these could have been typos or copywriter mistakes, but it didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about this brand.
I got a full refund from the store, deciding that I'd better shop around a bit more and do my homework. Think you'd be better off not wasting the time I did and just go to a better known brand. The music and sounds that come out of my computer are important to me because I work at a computer all day long. A speaker system that sounds poor and has quality problems is not a great buy at any price. Good shopping!
