I have to say, I was a little skeptical about this speaker set when looking at it online. The reviews were helpful. The installation was easy as expected, although i was a little confused when i first got it, I did not know they were set up so you can hook up all the speakers to the sub woofer then get some AV cables(red and white to red and white, which were included), and you can plug it straight into your TV or DVD player!! Definitely a bonus if you don’t want to/can’t pick up a receiver right away. They might not be so great if you have a large room, but i live in a two-bed town house and they are more than enough to fill my room with surround sound, i can finally hear the light footsteps of someone coming up behind me…

This is NOT a pro-quality Home Theater Speaker System. Don’t expect to get pro-quality for $50!
That being said, this does provide a decent sound (albeit not great bass) for the price. If you are looking for an inexpensive speaker set for your home theater, then I would recommend this.
As mentioned in other reviews, the included speaker wires are fairly short (and also thin). If you’re using it directly from your DVD/Blu-Ray player, then the volume knob on top of the speakers is really the only way to control the volume.
There is a slight hum in the speakers when no sound is coming out, but hardly noticeable.

I was anxious to get it because the sound on my computer/TV was so bad. I’ve never owned a home theater speaker system but I’ve seen a few of them in other people’s homes. I’ve had the Coby ststem for almost 2 months.
For the price Coby does a decent job. The sound, tone and volume are adjustable. I was able to get the tone I like. The sound quality could be better. But like I said it didn’t cost much and it’s good for the price.
It was a lot more complicated to set up than I thought it would be. It’s not exactly plug-and-play but it wasn’t rocket science either. I don’t like that I have to turn them on and off manually. I’m not sure if there’s a way to configure them that makes manual operation unnecessary.
The speakers are attractive. They fit in with my decor very well. I’d like to see longer wires on them. It’s a little difficult to position them so the sound surrounds due to the short wires.
Overall I’m very pleased with the Coby Home Theater Speaker System. It’s contributed to an increase in enjoyment of my computer (which is also my television).

The one problem is that you have to get up and change the volume/bass/treble, I wish it came with a remote or could be link to your tv remote. Otherwise for around 50 bucks this is the best.

As I write this review I am immersed in the heat of battle. As I write this review, bullets are flying past my head. As I write this review I run beneath a harrier in hopes that I am not seen. The sounds that my newly installed Coby CSP96 are emitting are beautiful. No longer do I need UAV – for I have my Coby CSP96. The sounds are dedicated nicely. A battle has just ignitied to my rear right.. I turn.. I run.. and I make a kill.. without UAV.
The crakel of fire is as real as a July night under the stars with some marshmallows and the company of good friends. The base is steady and deep. Explosions cause you a slight jump.. and then bring a smile to your face. You realize “I have experienced this before”.. but where.. then it comes to you.. it was your last visit to the Theater, the opening week of
Iron Man. Boom! Boom! Talk about a lot of BANG for your buck.
When we installed this unit we understood that we would have to purchase extra speaker wire. 22 gauge at our local RadioHut was sufficient, at 100ft for $10. The unit was completely installed in a little over 1 hr, thats including mounting, and hiding the wires. There was no guess work with the audio. Find the audio out on you TV – red, white – send it to the audio inputs on the sub. Wala.. it is done!
We purchased this directly through AMAZON, we ordered after 7pm on the 2nd, it was in our home at 3pm the 4th. Never in my life have I ever had a product arrive so quickly, and thats with Free Standard Shipping. The packaging was perfect. The unit was boxed in orignal boxing, then placed in another box to insure protection from both the elements and handling, it arrived via UPS.
This is a value at $50, a sophisticated surround if you will, with 5.1 sound, including a base that is deep amd smooth. It is not one to shake the neighbors out of thier house, but rather a surround that blankets you in true volumns and clean noise.
There is going to be one more purchase made of this unit in the future and that will be for our game room. For now, I will set in my living, surrounded by crisp, solid, sound, that of which my walls have nevered experienced. I invite you to purchase this Coby CSP96, and experience for yourself, a theater in your own home!
