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

I was going to buy a Jabra or Anker unit but was put off by the comments relating to Bluetooth sound quality when using those speakerphones with a smartphone. I’m so glad I bought this model instead, I’m told the sound quality at the receivers end is fantastic and from my end voices are true and clear when using over Bluetooth with a smartphone. I use this speakerphone for video conferencing and phone calls, so the ease of switching from USB to Bluetooth is really useful. My only gripe is the USB cable that came with the speakerphone did not work, my laptop failed to acknowledge the speakerphone at all. A quick swap to my Samsung USB cable sorted the issue but it was disappointing that the boxed cable did not work with the unit. Still, that’s not enough to reduce the five star rating as the speakerphone itself is perfect!

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 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.

My laptop audio was way too quiet even on full volume. With this speaker I now get much better audio, the tone is richer and deeper (and louder!). I clipped it to the top of my laptop screen and it’s perfect. Very happy with it

Poorly engineered product. I have tested on Windows and Mac. This product exhibits the same issue: After 20 minutes, I encounter a high pitch squeal and then what can only be described as white noise or distortion. Avoid.

great sound for such a small speaker

Nice design its very small it 'clamps' itself onto bottom bezel of monitor surprisingly well it will never fall off, looks great the speaker bar quality is about right for its high price, the controls are easy to find and use. however, while it may go surprisingly loud for its small size, it's also a thin tinny sound absent of any bass whatsoever, which is hardly surprising considering its small compact size. If a complete absence of any real bass in the sound is not important? then its a great little sound bar likely last years

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.

Sound quality is superb. I got this because the speaker assembly of my aio pc broke down after service center guys opened it. It's a USB plug and play. No need to pair via BT. If your aio has a thick bezel then this may not be useful at the bottom. The size is appropriate - not too big nor too small. The performance is adequate - it's doing the job it was bought for. Insanely good value for money product. Would highly recommend this.

C'est du lourd, au sens propre et figuré. Son excellent. Parfaitement pris en compte avec Boom3D surMacBook Pro 16". ça me permet de palier des petits soucis d'audition en valorisant la voix des personnages lors du visionnement des films. J'avais une Logitech Z205. Bien, mais moins puissante, vibrant parfois : je devais filtres les basses. BT : necessite l'utilisation de l'USB pour alimenter. J'ai essayé BT avec l'USB de l'ordi servant d'alim. Pas de latence. Pas essayé la fonction téléphone. Mais je ne ai pas acheté la CA-2890PRO pour cela. Je l'ai utilise depuis peu. Mais je n'ai pas l'impression d'un objet qui ne tiendra pas. Astuce : Montée en dessus de l'écran, si je visionne couché, elle le rabat car, c'est effectivement du lourd. La solution semble la poser juste sur mes larges pec', avant l'ordi tenu sur la tablette de choc'... C'est mieux que l'inverse car le son n'a pas d'écran faisant écran ! Encore mieux, la placer en appui pec', l'ordi avancé pour la caler et avoir l'arrière dégagé pour les basses... Dommage : mode d'emploi en anglais. Je propose juste la traduction pour les boutons...

Ahorra espacio al poderse colocar colgado en el monitor. Por indicar una sugerencia yo haría más ancha la pinza por la cual se sujeta al monitor

This speakerphone is so easy to use that it can be turned on even when a call comes. It has a very good sound quality for a such small speaker. But it must be placed on a solid surface as a table. Otherwise, the sound will be weak and poor quality. I like it and use it daily.
