That is, until they broke. As a cheap upgrade, I bought these speakers for my laptop. The blue light was the first to break, which wasn't a big deal. On a positive note, they looked nice and had decent sound quality considering the cost. For $20, they seemed like a fine investment and I was a happy camper for several months. But shortly after, the entire unit was dead silent and completely useless no matter how loud I cranked the volume.
The product itself is very satisfying. The sound quality is great. The speakers are small and cute, but powerful. If I don't switch it off at night, the blue light gets really annoying, but other than that everything's great.It's just that I bought this when Free shipping was offered and for some reason was still made to pay for shipping :(
I gave 4 stars on features (and not 5) merely because I would have liked the convenience of a headphone jack on the speakers. I travel year-round and stay in hotels so I needed better sound that would not cause complaints from the other guests yet deliver enhanced audio and pack easily too. My new laptop has built-in "speakers" that are pretty good for what they are and considering that they take up no extra space. No biggie. This subwoofer system is ideal for my needs. Over the years I have purchased several Cyber Acoustic speaker systems (from large to small) and they have always been a truly great value. If you need a compact subwoofer system for a smaller space this one will fill the bill. I also give Amazon 5 stars for impeccable service the past 10+ years.
When I watch movies on Hulu, it almost feels like I'm watching it on a much higher priced home theatre speakers (mostly because of the outstanding bass). CA, *FIX THIS* and you'll have my undying loyalty forever.I'm giving this unit 5 stars for the sound quality. This has to be the best speakers I've used in my life aside from one issue that it picks up the bleeps from my iPhone too easily. I'm floored how they achieved this in such a small package.But alas I had to abandon this unit because of my allegiance to the iPhone (unfortunately). You see after replacing this unit with a similar but more expensive 3 piece unit from Logitech, I can say with confidence that this sounds FAR superior. The subwoofer really produces deep rich thumping sound, compared to a muddy sound produced by the Logitech. The iPhone produces more interference than ANY phone I've had and its interaction with the speakers drove me stark crazy.So if CA came out a shielded version, and even if they added 10 bucks to it. I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
But these speakers pick up interference from EVERYTHING electronic. It still barely works. I brought this a while ago. (The noise it makes is annoying) --me and my roommate made a game out of it every time it buzzes we know one of our phones is going to ring-. It has a short in it but even before the short, it was a horrible choice. I mean if you want something cheap and loud go for it. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy this. Not a good deal.
