One word- distortion, September 9, 2009
By L. Rhoan (Oakhurst, ca United States) -
I thought I had done lots of research before I purchased this speaker set, but obviously not enough. The set was, as others had mentioned, smaller than I had imagined, but did not put out the sound as some were raving about. I purchased these to use on a patio boat for 4th of July so I needed some volume and since I am quite picky about the tone and the sound, I wanted something with a little bass. Every time I turned it up to get any sort of volume the speakers went into cardiac arrest and made this horrible growling sound. I thought maybe I did something wrong, so I check all the connections and tried it again twice with the same results. Don’t waste your money on this.

Small but efficient, September 8, 2009
By B. Grossman "Music Lover" (Bay City, MI)
I purchased this speaker so I could take my music outside. I have used it working in the yard and at the dock by my boat. It is small enough to be easily portable and provide all the sound I need. Of course it is still new but so far, no problems.

Perfect for travel and for baby’s room, September 7, 2009
By BaltimoreMom (Baltimore, MD)
OK, people…this docking station is less than $40 and for the price, it is a fantastic item. The sound quality is excellent. No you won’t be able to listen to it at super volume to host a party, but that’s not what it was meant for. We use this daily to put on music for our baby during nap time. Because she’s so accustomed to music during her nap times, we can’t travel without this system. We’ve taken several trips and this solidly built item has lasted through international baggage handling as well as road trips where we throw our bags around. It’s a very simple system, great sound quality, and solidly made. Can’t go wrong with this item and the price is just awesome.

The Price Is Right !, September 6, 2009
By Mr. James T. Mullins "JOLLYMON" (toms river, nj United States)
As John Arbuckle has said,"you only get what you pay for".
The Cyber Acoustics Docking Speaker is not a BOSE, but it
is exactly what I expected for the price. It keeps my iPOD
charged and allows me to listen to music while working on
the computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative sound, but no remote switch., July 24, 2008
By Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)
[Update: In answer to some questions, this stereo has a conventional audio input, so you can easily use it with sound sources other than an iPod. As someone has observed, the Cyber Acoustic web page claims the Nano 3g can't be charged by the CA-421 dock. Au contraire! When using electrical power and the included dock adapter, I had no difficulty charging a Nano 3g with this CA-421 dock. In fact, contrary to the company's description, it did the same with a Classic and the Touch (I don't own an iPhone, though.) Since writing the following, I've "gone through" other speakers, including the most popular rechargeable Altec Lansing and Logitech, both of which balk at playing the newest Touch. This inexpensive iRhythms model actually sounds competitive and continues to be the only portable I can depend on (no doubt due to the well-constructed adapters and the provision for using regular AA alkalines). As for the outdoors volume limitation, even the very pricey, much lauded Tivoli iPal falls flat on its face when used outside. These battery-operated machines simply are not backyard party animals.]
After becoming attached to a JBL Micro, I decided I could use another, more affordable version. The Cyber Acoustics dock-speaker seemed like a worthy candidate, especially at a half to two-thirds the price of the JBL. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting a unit as good as the vaunted JBL but was willing to sacrifice some quality to save a few bucks.
Surprise. If anything, the Cyber Acoustics sounds better than the On Stage Micro! Tastes will vary, but the CA-421 is slightly warmer, has deeper and fuller bass, and is less inclined to distort when playing files recorded excessively "hot." The Micro is a bit more crisp-sounding with a slight edge in treble frequencies (as noticed while comparing the drum’s hi-hats and ride cymbals on the two units). I’m finding the Cyber Acoustics unit "wears" better for extending listening stretches…Read more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, sounds great, does all that is required, March 21, 2008
By Craig Weems (Houston, TX USA)
I was looking for something cheap to listen to podcasts while I was working in the garage. This thing plays loudly with no apparent distortion. Very well designed with digital volume control. Recharged my iTouch in less than an hour. At the present it has adapters for all iPods regardless of what the descriptions may say. Had I paid twice as much I would have still regarded it as a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab little speakers, March 27, 2007
By sandy see (Atlanta, GA USA)
These speakers have great sound for their size. If you’re looking to spend this amount on speakers, then they are great. I listen to dance music when I’m travelling and the sound is good when it’s played reasonably loud. My only (small) complaint is that I have a white iPod and only black speakers are available. But apart from that, I’m really.
