Cyber Acoustics CA-2890PRO USB and Bluetooth Speaker Bar, Clip-On Monitor

I rarely write reviews, but this product absolutely deserves one. I bought the Cyber Acoustics CA-2890PRO, and after several hours of testing it with Zoom, ChatGPT Voice, Perplexity, YouTube, phone calls, and music playback, I'm honestly amazed at what you get for around $40. The sound quality is outstanding. It's much louder than I expected, with clear, rich audio that completely replaced my monitor speakers. I mainly listen to podcasts, YouTube, and music, and I'm genuinely enjoying listening to music on this speaker. It has more than enough volume for my home office, and the sound is clean and surprisingly full. The microphone is equally impressive. During my testing, I was able to walk about 8 feet away and continue speaking in a normal voice. It still picked me up clearly, even with a fan running in the room. Voice conversations felt natural, and I had no problems holding two-way conversations during Zoom meetings, phone calls, or while using ChatGPT Voice and Perplexity. I also considered much more expensive speakerphones, including the Dell SP3022, Dell SP325, and the Jabra Speak2 40. After using the CA-2890PRO, I honestly don't regret my decision at all. For my needs, it performs far above its price and easily competes with products in the $80 to $120+ range. One thing worth mentioning is the monitor clip. My monitor has a curved back, so I am able to mount it—but honestly, that wasn't my intention anyway. I simply placed it on my desk underneath my monitors, and it fits perfectly without taking up much space. In fact, I prefer it there because it keeps my desk looking clean while still projecting excellent sound. Setup was truly plug-and-play, and using the USB-C connection gives it plenty of power. This is one of those rare products that makes you wonder why you'd spend two or three times as much on something else. Excellent speakers, an excellent microphone, outstanding value, and easily one of the best tech purchases I've made this year. Highly recommended!

For the price, this is an excellent little computer speaker/microphone for conference calls and enhanced laptop sounds. It’s not going to compare with premium computer speakers for music and larger sound, but it’s a great little portable option for improving sound on a work computer and using with video calls. When comparing with a true professional conference speaker, this speaker plays stereo output with just a hint of bass, which makes it sound superior to a standard conference speaker. It’s easy to use, but be sure to read the included manual to learn the features. For the overall value of this speaker, I’d certainly buy it again. I bought this so I’d have a decent speakerphone setup when I work remotely. I liked it enough that I also bring it to work and use it there too.

I had bought this for a monitor but it was the wrong connector, but I attached it to my Samsung tv and I love the connection to my phone. The sound is so clear. I’m happy, even though it wasn’t wear I originally wanted to use it.

It is great as long as you keep the expectations realistic. It is a $40 short sound bar. It sounds as small as it is, like almost no stereo and minimum bass. However it attaches to the bottom of my monitor perfectly, saving precious desk space. What audio it delivers is clear and crisp. I am not an audiophile and don't listen to music with it. I wouldn't mind better quality for a higher price, but the most important quality for me is space saving and this little speaker delivers.

Works very well. I am happy to have it.

This speaker, with or without the bass boost turned on, sounds thin and tinny for music. It works fine for voice. So if you want it for meetings, the sound is adequate but I would definitely not recommend it for music. I have a 1st gen Echo on my desk and it sounds far better for music--not just better bass but a more balanced sound throughout the frequency range. I'll be returning mine which disappoints me because the form factor is terrific and it mounted firmly to the bottom of my curved monitor.

I bought this speaker systems to replace an old system that finally died. I liked the compactness of the speakers and the fact that it clipped to my monitor. The sound was adequate and it did have a microphone. After about 2 weeks of use the speaker started to audible ping, much like the sound that occurs when a key is stuck. After going through some problem solving, determined that it was the speaker system and decided to return them and go in a different direction, doing more research this time around.

Fine sound quality for my purposes (work). Got surprised by the fact that anyone nearby could connect to it. Had strangers’ phone calls ringing on my speaker and the microphone going live. Returning.

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...

Sound and mic is fine, I got this connected with my monitor, thinking Speaker will output sound from all source, I connected my PS5 and it fails to output any sound, it only works with by macbook.

Worth paying the extra buck for the quality of this speaker. I recommend it over the cheaper options unless you are not concerned about sound quality.

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
