As someone who often takes Zoom calls and enjoys listening to music, the built-in microphone and speakers on my MacBook Pro tend to fall short of the quality that I would like to get from my computer. The CA-2890BT Speaker Bar was a vast improvement from the stock audio at a very affordable price.
The design of the speaker bar is sleek and modern, with a black finish and simple controls located on the top of the bar. The bar is lightweight, making it easy to move around, and conveniently has a notch in the middle of its clamp so it does not block the camera when clipped to the top of my laptop.
Setting up the speaker bar was a breeze, and I was able to connect it to my laptop without any issues. I plugged in the USB and my laptop instantly recognized the speaker, and the buttons all worked to control the volume and mute without any issues.
In terms of sound quality, the CA-2890BT speaker bar is impressive for its size and price range. The sound is clear and balanced, with a decent amount of bass, which is great for watching movies and listening to music.
I was using the CA-2890BT for Zoom calls and not only could everyone hear me clearly, but I could hear them as well. During one such call, I disconnected the speaker bar for a moment and a coworker asked what I did because he felt the sound quality seriously degraded all of a sudden. I thought it was high praise to have someone stop to tell me my sound wasn’t as good when the CA-2890BT was not being used as my microphone.
Overall, I would definitely recommend the CA-2890BT speaker bar from Cyber Acoustics to anyone looking for an affordable and versatile audio solution. At its affordable price point, the speaker bar is a good choice for listening to music and a great choice for using for video calls.
