Cyber Acoustics

[SpankingVanillaice]

I' am right now using the Cyber Acoustics CA-3000. Thay do have alot of bass for a 3in Poly Carbon woofer. It also say that the sub have high excursion woofer. Also like that it is compact and small so I can hide the subwoofer if I wanted to. I got these speakers at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha. Freq response is from 38Hz to 18kHz it says that on the box.


Here's a link to my new speakers.

Wow! You finally graduated past $20 speakers all the way to $27.99. Must be a real improvement when listening to Mili Vanili.

My recent speaker purchase was a pair of Dynaudio Audience 42s. They are worth posting about, unlike your latest capital purchase of Cyber Acoustics Kiddie System.

Just for my own info, how long are you going to continue to post here about things that nobody cares about? Do you really have nothing better to do? If you don't, like I suggested earlier, you should spend the time you are wasting on toys and posting about them to get a job so you can buy a pair of REAL speakers.

Thats it, I am selling both my 82s and 42s as well as my JMLabs Tantal 509s and getting three sets of Cyber Asscoustics. I specially like the Signal to Noise Ratio. All my equipment is listed as Information Not Available so I surely want my speakers to have matching specs.

LOL, you should see his website. Other than a few Lifestyle bashing posts, he is the only poster and his forums include High End Audio sections of which he has no clue.

I still say he should get the M-Audio's back. :yesnod:

Not necessarily true JM. You'll notice he's now posting about his never-ending quest for computer audio nirvana (maybe a poor choice of words) in the Computer Audio section right?

[SpankingVanillaice]

I was wondering what does high excursion woofers mean? Does it mean it makes alot of bass or the cones move alot?

[Rich-n-Texas]

It means you can take long trips with them with a non-detrimental outcome.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Oh ok I was always wondering what that meant I never knew the real meaning of high excursion means? I seen them on woofers for subs but I never knew it meant to take long trips with non detrimental outcome I learned something new today. :) I always though it had something to do with the cones moving alot.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Since I was interested in what that excursion woofers mean and all of them said they never heard of it but does high excursion woofers really mean "It means you can take long trips with them with a non-detrimental outcome"? They only can guess that it meant it makes low bass but they didn't say it has to do with what you said. I' am confused. :confused5:

[SpankingVanillaice]

Ok I called alot of audio dealers and finaly I found out what high excursion woofers meaning they said it means basicaly that the cones move freely and moves up and down alot so alot of bass comes. But they didn't say that is mean this "It means you can take long trips with them with a non-detrimental outcome". I am acutaly now more confused what does that person was trying to say. :confused5: :confused5:

Maybe you should have done a Google search before asking the question.

[Rich-n-Texas]

I don't understand where the confusion is. When I moved down here from Jersey, I brought my sub with me during the trip, and it played fine. WTF???

Oh, okay. Well, my sub is still here in Texas, so... my bad.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm dying now. Some-bo-dy.... Help...... Can't........breath.........

Sigh...

Just catching my breath now. Still can't see through the tears.

Yesterday for the $48 since it was only sale I got the Cyber Acoustics CA-2908 USB powered speakers and I like it since there are no messy wires and it's compact and portable. It has a 2in woofer and a 1in Myler dome tweeter. It goes from 68hz to 18khz. It also have the volume control and mute control and a headphone jack to connect headphones to it. It also comes with a nice durable carring case to put the speakers in. It says it perfect for notebook PC and that's what I have.


Here are the new USB powered speakers I got.

SVI,
a question,
and I want you to give a honest, serious answer.

Why do you change speakers so much?

[Rich-n-Texas]

I really think it's time to give this nit-wit the boot. Seriously.

[GMichael]

He doesn't answer questions. Just asks them and then ignores the replies.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Bert, when the troll jumped out from under the bridge and told you that you have to pay to get past, did you try to reason with him?

I don't know why you even bother. :nonod:

[SpankingVanillaice]

I told you guys before that I' am trying to find a speaker that I will be happy with and it's hard since I' am very picky guy that is in a budget.

[SpankingVanillaice]

I' am really serious but for a guy like me it's really really hard to find what speakers that I will be happy with and to keep them forever. Since most speakers I find always has something that's not good like maybe not enough lows or too much highs or not loud as I want them to be etc.

[Luvin Da Blues]

I told you guys before that I' am trying to find a speaker that I will be happy with and it's hard since I' am very picky guy that is in a budget.


Then you never will be happy then until you up your budget to at least $250 and forget about computer speakers.

[Hyfi]

I' am really serious but for a guy like me it's really really hard to find what speakers that I will be happy with and to keep them forever.

So you are saying that you never plan to buy a real audio system? You plan to listen to MP3s on your Laptop forever?

Why don't you listen to the ones you have now, or one of the ones below for a few weeks. While your listening to the nice vibrations of the plastic boxes, contemplate getting a job.



The best top speakers I liked so far are the Bose Companion® 2 Series II since they have the auto tonal control so it adjusts the bass and treble by itself and also because it has alot of deep low bass for it's size and I also like the Philips MMS321/17 speakers since they are cool looking and have high end neo magnets plus 80 watts of power.

By the way, you said your dad is a drummer on a CD. What does he listen to music through?

What the **** is wrong with you, you little crack weasel!!?? In the span of 8 hours and 14 minutes you've already discarded the speakers you bought yesterday from your "fabulous favorites" list? Why'd you buy 'em in the first place you twit?!!

[SpankingVanillaice]

Ok I see now that you guys are really getting upset at me but all I was doing is trying to say all of the good parts of each speakers so that's why I say the parts I liked about them the most. BTW if you guys are going to start being mean to me again I will leave this forums and never return since I remember you guys doing the same thing few years agao but it seems it's getting worse as the years go by. If this doesn't stop then I have no choice and I will leave and delete my account here and never be here again period..........

For the first time in many years, I can't think of anything to say.

[SpankingVanillaice]

I' am saying it's getting worse is since now people are starting to cuss and use bad words and using words that are very mean like Bobsticks uses.

being mean is something that sometimes can be stronger than ourselves...

we try to say you that you should stop buying speakers every day, and you should save that money and buy a real system with it. Then you'll be happy, and you won't need to get another pair of speakers anymore...

remember that, ok?

the reason some people here are mean is that they get frustrated, we tell you things, give you advice, spend (valuable) time on you, and you just NEVER EVER listen. you buy something, tell the same that you said with the previous speaker (oooh, it sounds good, and it's real clear and crisp, and it goes loud, and it has alot of bass, and it's compact, and bla bla bla, just check it, you say that with EVERY pair of speakers you EVER bought.), after you said that, we respond that you should save money and buy something good for a change, and at the same time, we're happy, because you finally found something that you liked. And the next day, you're back saying that you already bought new speakers because you didn't like the previous ones.

I mean, please, listen sometimes...

So tell me, what have you learned from this post?

Maybe Bobsticks wasn't being mean at all and I mis understood what he said but I just thought when he said this.

I thought he was saying the f word and being very nasty but sometimes I assume things the bad way too much but I think he wasn't being mean at all and I was just thinking too much. I just didn't know those **** mean but I think it's nothin to worry about and everyone is happy. I' am sorry that I thought he was being mean and saying bad words.

Okay, Dallas, I'm gonna try this once and only once. Sometimes in the adult world people say things that are shocking or extreme or even mean sounding to get a reaction from someone else. Think of it like an alarm clock and and a wake-up call.

...and just to be clear so there are no excuses:

1) I don't care that you're gay
2) I don't care that you're limited
3) I don't disrespect you because you're on a budget
4) I don't have a problem with you trying to be involved with this site, in fact I commend you on finding the correct category to post your threads on computer speakers...

...but what drives me crazy is your refusal to think before you type something. I understand that technological advancement is rapid but things don't change in a matter of hours. They just don't. Something is not "the best" and then 16 hours later something else is the best just 'cause you got a ride to Best Buy (see, I was so irritated on the other post I couldn't even add).

What if one of the readers was interested in computer speakers and read your posts? They'd be as confused and indecisive as you are. Clearly and unenviable position.

I'm gonna tell a story Dallas and I want you to read it. My company is very involved in community service and I try to stay involved. It keeps me grounded and reminds of the times that I was not so fortunate and it was through these activities that I met a girl named Kimmie. Kimmie is probably close to fifty years old with the IQ of a 5th grader, in addition to being severely physically handicapped. I'm saying she has a hard time making up stairs. This little woman gets on the bus several times a week and goes to her job at a restaurant where she rolls silverware. Through these efforts she earns extra money to buy extra things she likes, most notably toys.

I have almost nothing in common with her but I respect her nonetheless. Obviously she is taking action to keep busy, involve herself with other people and to get things to make her freetime more pleasurable. To the best of her abilities she speaks with a passion about her passtimes and values everything that she has, both given and earned.

You could be like this Dallas. Trust me, you are far less limited than many people and if you wanted you could go out and earn enough to buy a decent introductory system of which many would be proud. I'm saying be more like Kimmie. Evidently you are at least halfway there.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Well as I said on my other post on the Philips topic I really am happy with the Philps one the most after all the speakers I tried. The second best I think are the Bose but I think that the Philps are much durable build and design. Also it maybe true that Bose speakers are really priced high since that advertise alot and need money on that but I do think Bose speakers are good. But I see that brands like Philips which isn't advertised alot can sell better speakers in lower price. That's why I think that these speakers are $60. I bet you that if Philips was advertised like Bose is then these speakers I have would be at least $100 pair like the Bose speakers I use to have. What also really sucks is that Bose will not allow any dealers to sell there speakers at lower price no matter what. I also noticed that Apple is like that too but oh well I guess. I guess if I ever want to get Bose again I will have no choice and have to pay the retail price. I really think Bose makes really interesting speakers and systems like the Wave Radio. I know that Bose home speakers have that direct/reflective thing that makes the speakers sound like you are in live concert and what's interesting is that Bose attends to make speakers that sound more like a live concert. Most speakers like JBL or other brands focus on accurite sound towards your ears. Like studio monitors are. I still really like JBL alot but there affordable speakers are now NOT affordable anymore like thay cost twice as much as before. Since they added that usless ultra high freq drivers on all of there home speakers. I don't think you need those since human ears can't hear higher than 20khz. So why would JBL or some other brands make speakers that can go soo high and cats or dogs can hear. I can only hear upto at most is 18khz and anything higher I hear nothin. But I heard some people say that if a speaker can go higher than 20khz then at 20khz it's more flatter response since it won't dip down at 20khz like most speakers are. So maybe then you can hear more high sounds that are in the 18khz range that my ears can hear. But I don't know since that's what I heard from some tech guys and some people that are into audio.



BTW: I was just really excited that they came out with soo many different kinds of speakers so I was just wanting to try them all out and pick the one I enjoy the most within my budget.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Another thing is that before like 4 years agao I was soo obbsessed with JBL that I didn't care about any other speaker brands since I always thought that JBL was number 1 in any speakers. Part of that is my dads fault since his the one who told me JBL and EV are the best speakers ever and also my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder made me trust my dad soo much that I didn't care any other brands than JBL. That's why in the past everything I got was pretty much JBL speakers like the JBL S26, JBL S38 and JBL Control 1 Xtreme. I sold all of them and my receiver since I needed money for my boyfriend Adam so that why I lost everything pretty much. But since now I tried so many other brands now I realize that other brands make good sounding speakers too. I use to never like Bose since I always thought Bose sucks and doesn't sound good at all. Plus my dad said that Bose is more for home use not pro so then I think that meant Bose was bad but after listening to some Bose I did noticed thay aren't that bad as I thought they were. But just the price is really expensive I noticed and no dealers sell them at lower price that whats on Bose.com. I also would never of picked brands like Philips or Cyber Acoustics etc since back then I thought they all sucked and sounded bad and built bad but now I noticed that since I tried them at home they weren't bad at all. Expecialy my Philips MMS321/17 speakers they are soo cool looking plus the sound is amazing for it's size even without the sub. Also it's made of stainless steal on the enclosure and stand. Also it has high end neo magnets which I really like alot since they pack alot of power for it's size. Plus they are lighter weight than Ferrit magnets. But the biggest thing I was soo impressed is that these got 80WATTS I mean that's alot of power for such a small compact speakers without a sub.

[JohnMichael]

Looks like he is here to stay.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Looks like he is here to stay.ok and is that a BAD thing??? Anyways as long as you guys understand me and go with the flow I will stay here but please no more being mean to me or say bad things about my new speakers and then we will all be happy. I have my ways of trying speakers and usualy I want to try everything I' am interested at home since it always sounds different from home to the store display. As matter of fact most speakers aren't displayed so I have to buy them and try them at home. I also learned that it's best to try the speakers at home if possible since then it's in the room I will listen to my music and I will know forsure how they will sound. :)

my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Finally, some real insight into your behaviour... Not to be mean, but I think you'd be better off spending more time at your therapist (trying to cure (or at least minimize) your condition) and less time at Best Buy trading out computer speakers.

[JohnMichael]

ok and is that a BAD thing???


No but I do wish you would listen to members after you ask for opinions. Several of us think if you would stick with one speaker for a few months you might save enough for a good pair of speakers. Most are truly trying to help you but frustrated when they type a lengthy response only to be ignored.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Finally, some real insight into your behaviour... Not to be mean, but I think you'd be better off spending more time at your therapist (trying to cure (or at least minimize) your condition) and less time at Best Buy trading out computer speakers.Ahh excuse me of cource I have been with a great therapist for more than 4 years. It is not simple to fix OCD. I even take meds for it but it only helps it doesn't fix it completely. Also there is nothing wrong with exchanging speakers untill you are happy with one forsure ok. I know people who are really into sound are like this. Basicaly people who are audiophiles are very obsessed with audio. But usualy those people have alot of money and are able get the top line stuff but for people like me who are in a budget they try out as many speakers as they want to see which they like the most out of them all. So in a way people who are real true audiophiles geeks have OCD since they are soo much into audio.

[bobsticks]

Also there is nothing wrong with exchanging speakers untill you are happy with one forsure ok...

That's true but what you do is get one, come here and pronounce to all of us how it is the bestest and greatest...and then change the next day. The system I have is many times more expensive than yours but I would never say that it is the best in its class. I'm happy with it and it's evolving, so that's what I say.

Some are getting upset with what seems like a lack of effort on your part to improve your position. If you're so limited that you can't go out and get a job then so be it. At the same time does it make any sense to continuously claim that something is the best and then change immediately? Seriously, does that make sense to you? Do you not acknowledge that is exactly what you've done?

Answer me.

Anyone who trades out speakers daily has gone beyond a love of audio and straight into serious mental problems... Despite, what some on this site may say.... constantly needing to upgrade/tweak your system is not a good thing... also the main difference between what you are doing and what other so called 'audiophiles' do, is that they actually UPGRADE... You just keep trading crap for similar crap... In order to find something better, you need to save up a little money... be patient.... and get something better... just swapping one pair of computer speakers for another is not going to accomplish anything...

[SpankingVanillaice]

I was just letting you guys know what kind of speakers I tried and listened to at home. Remember I' am still young and still learning about all kinds of speakers and how they work. I just get impressed on how each speakers work and how each speakers have pros and cons. When I say that these are the best speakers I' am just saying that they are the best so far I heard at the moment for the price but then when I try new speakers I see there pros and cons and I say the next one is better since I hear more mids or highs etc. But so far for $60 I think the Philips is the best since they sound truly clear and also very powerful compaired to most PC speakers. I like PC speakers since they don't have much wires and they use less power and it's easier to use and set up. When I use to have a receiver and speakers the receiver was heavy and the speakers were heavy and when I want to move them to clean around them it was harder and it also took alot of space on my desk. Yes the JBL S26 was way better than the Philips I have since it cost more than twice as much plus they had bigger drivers but I like PC or multimedia speakers since they are just simple. I want to save space and get the best sound ever like how my JBL sounded. So far the closest speakers to the JBL I had 4 years agao is these Philips MMS321/17. Maybe Philips will make a better updated compact speakers that is better than what I have and have more deep low low bass since that's the only cons about these speakers I have now. The mid lows, mids, and highs are great just these don't have that low low rumble feeling bass but of cource since it doesn't have a sub but maybe in the future thay will make an improved PC speakers that will have more low bass without a sub. I like to have speakers without sub the most since then it won't take up space.

Mayne, I joke around with Sir T 'bout it, but none more of that badboy tekilla for this guy. Too many bad experiences,,,plus it makes me mean as hell. There are several situations that I'd better not relate due to statutes of limitations that have convinced me that is one libation I best avoid.

But I got some Green Wiki fer you too though huckleberry...

Also the main difference between what you are doing and what other so called 'audiophiles' do, is that they actually UPGRADE... You just keep trading crap for similar crap... In order to find something better, you need to save up a little money... be patient.... and get something better... just swapping one pair of computer speakers for another is not going to accomplish anything...

Not to mention all the time he is wasting. He think to get a good syatem, he have to spend over $300 or $400 which is not true. All he have to do is add another $50 to his current $100 budget and buy from couple of $150 systems (one of them is from Kilpsch) which Bestbuy carry. It will have more power, and a sub.

You don't have put sub in front of you or on desk to hear it. Since they are not directional, it is usually recommended to put it on floor next to your computer station (or underneat the desk).

Maybe we are the ones who are a little slow. We already know that he is not going to take advise, yet we keep giving it.
We know that he's not going to save up for better speakers, but yet, we keep telling him to do just that.
We know that next week he will buy another set of $100 computer speakers, be we still get upset with him.

Maybe it's time that we just accept him for who he is. Next week he will be excited about a new set of Radio Shack speakers he found. They will be the best ever because the Salesman and the specs told him so. A week later he will move on to another set and be equally happy with those, for a while.

Spanky,
At the risk of giving advise that won't be listen to, the reason many get upset is because they want to help you. They take time out of their day to think up the best advise they can give you to help you out. Then often you don't even comment on their advise. You just post another question or go on about a new set of speakers. People don't want to work so hard only to be ignored. It might help if you at least responded to everyone's advise. Even when you don't agree, you could tell us why you don't agree. People will not be as upset at you if they know you are paying attention to them.
I know that you are not ready to have a job, but I've seen your website. You have a talent that people will pay you for. Maybe instead of a normal "job" you could just take on a task for someone. A task of helping someone with their website. Maybe your parents or friends might know someone who could use your help. Just one time to see how it goes. You never know. You may end up liking it. And the next thing you know, You'll have a better sound system that most of the other members here. Doesn't that sound like a whole lot of fun?

Do I need to continue?

JohnMichael, the first person I'm going to ask atomicAdam to remove is this stupid little pissant. I think I've made my case.

[GMichael]

All this proves is that:

1) He loves audio equipment.
2) He likes to upgrade as often as possible.
3) He likes to share his experiences with us.
4) He doesn't necessarily want us to make any comments other than, "Gee, those look terrific." & "How do they sound?"
5) He didn't know that our site was (and is) running at, a PG13 and under, rating only.

The Defense suggests that he is just a little slow in some areas but means no harm. Also adding that without Spank, many of our lives, and certainly this site, would not be as interesting. He has been an unwitting source of much enjoyment over the years.

Maybe I should start a poll on whether or not to delete him? I think it would be a great first poll for me. What does everybody think? :devil:

[GMichael]

Poll away. My guess is that you'll get a few for, a few against and a few who will say that it's in bad taste to start a thread about another member. (Remember? That's when PS's rep fell like a stone.) Maybe if you threw in a few, "This is all just for fun" comments you'd be ok.

Or maybe I'll just take my concerns offline.

You were his PD way back then too GM. Doesn't it seem kind of odd that a year & 1/2 later you're still defending the very same things that he did that people labelled him as a troll for? It's a cycle with this kid. Every 3 - 4 months for 1 & 1/2 years he starts the same discussions, gets people pissed off at him, cries that his feelings are getting hurt, threatens to leave, comes back and starts all over again. Please.

[GMichael]

I have been to his website. There is no doubt in my mind that he is what he claims to be. I don't think that he has a mean bone in his body.
I can understand why you would feel differently. I just disagree.

[noddin0ff]

and I'll quote myself from the wayback machine


I'm with GMichael on this. Visit the site, you'll see. He's a real person with a pretty thick skin. He takes a lot of abuse and doesn't dish back. Maybe some of it's fun for him too. He can write pretty well at times, better than someone who 'can't learn' should be able to. I suspect there's a tiny bit of troll. But, mostly, I do believe he's serious. He's got time to pursue his questions, and he does.

He has come around a huge amount these last rounds. He's actually saving for better speakers!

He doesn't force any of you to post. And, just because you post doesn't mean he'll all of a sudden listen.

I mean, I don't listen to half of you all either..

methinks the problem is in the mirror...

[Ajani]

As much fun as might be to ban Spanky, I don't think we actually have sufficient evidence to support a conviction...

HOWEVER...

My vote to solve the problem of him creating multiple threads over the same nonsense (which is the main reason he gets so much attention) is for the mods to limit him to just 1 thread on his adventures with swapping out computer speakers... Then we can all either read and laugh or ignore that 1 thread....

[JohnMichael]

Maybe I should start a poll on whether or not to delete him? I think it would be a great first poll for me. What does everybody think? :devil:




First of all SVI has not done enough to be banned. He came close once but took care of the issue. He misunderstood what people were asking. Luckily no one is removed by poll. If this site becomes a popularity contest can you imagine how it would become even less about audio. I am sorry but member X will have to be banned because his system is not expensive enough. Member Y asks the same question too many times. Member Z is from Texas.

I tease about banning him but I am only teasing. I am amazed how some sites ban people because they disagree with the mods. I think all interested parties and opinions should be welcome here. As long as they are respectful to others. I have let comments roll off my back and never thought of banning someone, well not for very long. After all SVI is a bit of a draw around here.

[Hyfi]

Okay, Dallas, I'm gonna try this once and only once. Sometimes in the adult world people say things that are shocking or extreme or even mean sounding to get a reaction from someone else. Think of it like an alarm clock and and a wake-up call.

...and just to be clear so there are no excuses:

1) I don't care that you're gay
2) I don't care that you're limited
3) I don't disrespect you because you're on a budget
4) I don't have a problem with you trying to be involved with this site, in fact I commend you on finding the correct category to post your threads on computer speakers...

...but what drives me crazy is your refusal to think before you type something. I understand that technological advancement is rapid but things don't change in a matter of hours. They just don't. Something is not "the best" and then 16 hours later something else is the best just 'cause you got a ride to Best Buy (see, I was so irritated on the other post I couldn't even add).

What if one of the readers was interested in computer speakers and read your posts? They'd be as confused and indecisive as you are. Clearly and unenviable position.

I'm gonna tell a story Dallas and I want you to read it. My company is very involved in community service and I try to stay involved. It keeps me grounded and reminds of the times that I was not so fortunate and it was through these activities that I met a girl named Kimmie. Kimmie is probably close to fifty years old with the IQ of a 5th grader, in addition to being severely physically handicapped. I'm saying she has a hard time making up stairs. This little woman gets on the bus several times a week and goes to her job at a restaurant where she rolls silverware. Through these efforts she earns extra money to buy extra things she likes, most notably toys.

I have almost nothing in common with her but I respect her nonetheless. Obviously she is taking action to keep busy, involve herself with other people and to get things to make her freetime more pleasurable. To the best of her abilities she speaks with a passion about her passtimes and values everything that she has, both given and earned.

You could be like this Dallas. Trust me, you are far less limited than many people and if you wanted you could go out and earn enough to buy a decent introductory system of which many would be proud. I'm saying be more like Kimmie. Evidently you are at least halfway there.

Wow! I must have missed something somewhere. The only point above that I was aware of is that he is Gay. It IS a required field to fill out in your profile, you know. Must we all say Heterosexual in ours?

I understood "Budget" but had no idea the budget was the same $50 he got for his birthday 5 years ago.

Other than spelling, he's not all that slow. Like said before, he has enough to put together a website and Forums. Mr. Pinky may not think so but that's another issue.

By the way, banning him is out of the question. This part of Audio Review Forums has the most traffic because of SVI. Maybe we should get him posting over at Deadsville Rave Recordings. Someone has got to be into Bass busters.

Interesting, because I look at it from completely the opposite viewpoint Ajani. I think we have all the evidence in the world but it would be absolutely no fun to ban Spanky.

There is one set of speakers that I haven't returned for at least 5 months and that's the Cyber Acoustics CA-3000 PC speakers since I like how they sound alot too. They are very affordable and have great sound.

[SpankingVanillaice]

But I did notice that when I change the volume on the speakers it is starting to make a distortion type of sound so I think I might soon need to get another set of these soon. I use them alot so they get worn out fast I think but some in the past did last longer than others but it all depends.

if your speaker dies after 5 months of use, you have a bad speaker. Period.

[SpankingVanillaice]

It still works fine but it just makes some noise when I turn up or down the volume. I might of got a defective set of speakers from the first place since the other set of these I had a while back didn't do this until it was like few years at least. The other set that lasts for a long time was the Altec Lansing BXR1120 or the BXR1121. They both lasted at least few years meaning most lasted longer than that. I had the Altec Lansing BXR1120 and the BXR1121 way before the Cyber Acoustics and they lasted long time too. But the set of Cyber Acoustics CA-3000 I had before my current one also lasted long time too. So I did actualy had speakers for long time. So not all speakers I returned and traded many times.

[SpankingVanillaice]

Here are some pics of the new updated Cyber Acoustics CA-3000 PC speakers. It seems since last few years they made some improvements so that's good. I got these for $20.99. Normaly they cost $24.99 at other stores but at K-Mart they had them for $20.99. Also I got a 1 year replacement plan at K-Mart and that only costed $2.99.
