Thank you so much for this review. there are not many home stereo system reviews to find little alone budget system reviews and atop of this you did a very informative job.
Marques, I like that you use a Zune and mention the iPod as an afterthought. Windows media player is fantastic and bug free, iTunes is slow and buggy on a Windows PC.
I'm at a thrift store in Victoria Ca, someone has it all in rhe original box and packaging, wanted to find out original pricing and how good it was, can't believe you covered this way back when, lol.
These speakers are great with razer surround pro. Other digital sound cleaners will work too I'm sure but I literally got these speakers tuned perfect and I highly reccomend them.
You definitely want headphones for making music. A speaker system that will let you hear everything that an affordable headset could would cost as much as a car. You seem to be looking for value, so I'll recommend the GameCom 780 headset. They have large, quality drivers and powerful bass.
For as many audio reviews you do (I assume you are somewhat of an audiophile), I am surprised you don't have a Cowon. They are one of the best mp3 player makers in the world. They are much better than Microsoft. Their UI isn't as good and they are very proprietary. However, they surpass almost everyone else in sound quality. You should really check out the J3! Maybe even make a review?
r these good to play call of duty and other games i have my ps3 hooked up to a monitor and was looking for some better speakers i wont be using them for music maybe movies
OK i have this system I'm just wondering do i have to turn it off by the main power on/off switch or just use the control pod and set it to mute to turn it off when i leave my computer?
@marquesbrownlee If you use an iPhone does it come up with a warning saying you should switch it to airplane mode? Because thats what my current surround sound does and its really annoying not being able to receive calls/texts when playing music
The subwoofer on this system is mixed with the front left and right speakers, as in a 2.1 system, instead of being on its own LFE channel as called for in a 5.1 system. Avoid like the plague.
@xXDP5150Xx Oh the Benchmarks of a device that's off the market. That's cool. I just think the zune is a hilarious flop. Everyone does. I don't care about portable sound quality. It's a magical device that lets me talk to people, take photos and video in 1080p, play them on my TV, edit them and put them on youtube oh and it fits in my pocket. I don't need super high quality sound from an mp3. If I want that I'll go home and put on an LP.
@xXDP5150Xx LOL. I love that one comment was removed and this one was flagged as spam. Yep I'm totally wrong. That's why I work in the gaming/tech/media field and you do what? They discontinued Zune last October to transition to Windows Phones. Microsoft hasn't made them for half a year now. I bet you feel like a silly goose. You be over there with your Cowon and once again I'll be making phone calls and sharing movies with my friends over appleTV
@marquesbrownlee ikr my mother was like WTF JAY TURN IT DOWn and i was like im gaming and she broke my door and i broke her picuerframes so were even XD
Oh Boy. You've really come a long way! Good Job Marques
thanks for the discription bro it was well detailed
OMG, That is a nice full blown system. I like the control pod.
Wow! You make the most professional videos on TH-cam! I wanted to watch this twice cause it was that good!
i bought these speakers because of your reference and i gotta say thank you , i just got them today and im glad i listened to you , they sound great
Watched this video this morning and went to The Source right away and bought them. Love it! Thanks for the review =D
Thank you so much for this review. there are not many home stereo system reviews to find little alone budget system reviews and atop of this you did a very informative job.
It's an improvement from your last cyber acoustic video. Id like to see you make one now for old times sake.
Gerat Review as always! Did you get this for review purposes or did you buy it?
Marques, I like that you use a Zune and mention the iPod as an afterthought. Windows media player is fantastic and bug free, iTunes is slow and buggy on a Windows PC.
@ascheinblum The best to extend the speakers would probably be DX-AD110 extensions. You can search the model # it and find results.
"High wattage premium system" hahahahaha

thats such a nice set of speakers!

Great review, could have been longer. I'm probably going to buy these speakers.
You definitely want headphones for making music. A speaker system that will let you hear everything that an affordable headset could would cost as much as a car. You seem to be looking for value, so I'll recommend the GameCom 780 headset. They have large, quality drivers and powerful bass.
I have Logitech LS11 speakers. They aren't like yours but they actually have good sound. When I get high end Acer desktop, I'll get better ones.
Just wondering if the only power button is on the bottom of the sub.. that could be very annoying.
Great review! I might invest into these :) I thought the centre speaker was a webcam :)
I'm pretty sure an RCA to 3.5 mm jack. Or if your TV has a headphone jack, you can just use that.
for the best computer speakers get the klipsch 2.1 speaker set they are the best sounding speakers out there for computers.
Nice, how many watts is the subwoofer?
Great review as always, could be my next set, my sub begins to fail when the bass gets to heavy.
i want to add extension wires to these speakers but i am not sure which to purchase. which wires would work best?
why is this in my recommended in 2019?
Ok i want to hang my speakers around my room. Do you have any ideas how i could do it without damaging the speakers?
you keep talking about TV can this be used on a desktop? or a laptop? preferably both?
Do you think its a good idea If I buy them for console gaming?
I have a 2.1 Cyber Acoustics system already, would I be able to connect the 2 speakers to that sub as well?
@Emerisk8 yes u can and also a tv and stuff

How good are they with gaming!!??
@marquesbrownlee im deciding between these and Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer which ones do u think r better
wow when I first heard your voice I thought you were Eric from Reckless Tortuga
where do you plug in the 3.5mm jack for ipods into the speakers?
How do you connect these to a TV?
Would I be able to output optical audio to this from my PS3? It doesn't appear to have the input, but are there adapters for it?
would i be able to use these on a macbook pro?
what are the watts of the subwoofer? thanks!

@marquesbrownlee If you use an iPhone does it come up with a warning saying you should switch it to airplane mode? Because thats what my current surround sound does and its really annoying not being able to receive calls/texts when playing music
