Cyber Acoustics USB Speaker Bar (CA-2890) – Stereo USB Powered Speaker, Easily Clamps to Monitor, Convenient Controls

I bought this for my wife's birthday and had all fingers crossed I hadn't got it wrong! I didn't!! The speaker is small, neat and quite unobtrusive. So very simple to use via USB or Bluetooth. My wife works from home and hates a cluttered desk so this is perfect. It was as simple to set up - just plug and play. The sound is very clear and strong. It was on the highest setting when she tried it and the desk was vibrating with the music. She has also used it for phone calls and they were as clear as anything. She is very happy and so am I. Great piece of equipment altogether.

i purchased the pro version sound is very clear sits on my monitor for my PC it gives strong bass sound and on music it gives really clear bass sound no distortion when volume is high i recommend and has strong clip to place onto my monitor and not take space ideal purchase for meThe pro model there is a white button for sound boost which makes a slight Difference but every time you boot up you have to reset i would recommend if you want a slight improvement on sound you get from monitor speakers'

I was looking to replace my old Logitech Z205 speakers, now becoming crackly at higher volume through a decade of use. The Cyber Acoustics CA-2890 fits the bill admirably. It’s similarly convenient, in that it clips neatly onto the top of my laptop and connects directly via USB. No set up required, no extra cables.In my judgment the sound is slightly better than the Logitech was when new. You won’t be using this little baby to carve out a new career as a DJ, nor will the bass response be shaking the foundations of your home, but neither will the volume and quality disappoint the average laptop user.So it does the job, and as well as you could wish for at the price. Whether the CA-2890 can offer the same length of service that I got from the Logitech is for a future report.

I've got this speaker attached to the top of my monitor where it's completely out of the way. It grips very securely and is exactly what I needed to replace the tiny buzzy speakers I had before. When not in use it's silent and the sound quality is great for video calls, occasional films and music. I don't use it at high volume, it's on my home office computer. Set up was really easy - I just plugged it in. Great price. Recommended.

I use Equalizer APO to apply EQ - see screenshot for my settings. It basically needs some treble boost (or cut down the low and mid). Really good once this is done, otherwise it sounds muffled.It also clamps on to the monitor very well.3-month update: Bluetooth pairing mode persists until a device is connected via Bluetooth. This means, when in USB mode, anyone can connect to it. It actually happend - my neighbour connected to it by mistake and loud music blasted through it. It's a major design flaw. The solution is to forget about the USB mode. Just make sure it stays connected to a device that you own via Bluetooth. That stops the Bluetooth interface from staying in pairing mode.

I only want to use this on USB as the "now connected" message if using Bluetooth is beyond irritating.However, it randomly connects to an unknown Bluetooth source - must be one of my neighbours as no other equipment is on in our house at the time!Pressing the multifunction button twice disconnects it but after a random amount of time it reconnects itself to the unknown Bluetooth source.Even fully disconnecting it does not stop this issue.

For £25 I think this is a great deal. Size is smaller than I expected and it’s a bit light and “plasticky” but sound is very good for the price. It’s light. Attaches easily to my 27” monitor. Dead easy to set up. Other reviewers comments on tinny sound/lack of bass. It’s really not that noticeable to me. I started with a song with a deep bass line on Spotify and adjusted controls as needed. I’ll mostly be using this for conference calls and webinars so music isn’t that important (I use my ear buds).Overall very pleased.Will report back if anything changes. Hopefully will last.

I was getting fed up of the frankly rubbish sound quality from my (otherwise good) laptop speakers, so after searching online settled on these to solve the problem.And they do, not massively loud, but a big improvement on laptop speakers for music, video and teleconferencing. The clip is a convenient shape that avoids blocking the camera, and the sound quality is pretty good. I like the option to plug into USB or USB-C (I mostly use the latter as it doesn't get used for much else), and not requiring power or more than just the one plug. The buttons on it are interchangeable with screen/keyboard controls for volume and muting.A good honest sensibly priced product, that isn't too big (photo here is on a 15.5" laptop screen), and will fit in the pocket of my laptop bag without taking it all up.
