Final thoughts

We originally wondered if the Kama Bay Speaker can actually become a useful speaker-solution for the PC. Well, yes it can, though, perhaps only in addition to a second set of speakers. On our test system, we utilised both the Kama Bay Speaker, and a set of Creative's 5.1 Megaworks.

Over the past week, we've found that for the majority of the time, the Kama Bay Speaker does the required job; it provides basic-but-decent sound when browsing the web and carrying out day-to-day tasks. Let's face it, who needs 5.1 audio when watching YouTube videos or working in Microsoft Word?

Begin to do something a little more taxing, such as music or movie playback, and the Kama Bay will undoubtedly show its limits. You will need an additional set of external speakers if multimedia sound really matters.



Nonetheless, at £15, we find it difficult to truly fault Scythe's Kama Bay Speaker. It's an ideal solution for users seeking a clutter-free method of achieving simple sound. Similarly, it could prove mighty useful to users who require portability - a Kama Bay Speaker in your gaming rig could save you the trouble of lugging around your speakers.

You can get quality sounding 5.1 speakers now for so cheap, under £40... for general use and gaming, they are great!

I guess if space was a real concern...Quote

quality sounding 5.1 for under £40, where is that from as the sets i look at are all about £200 and i could do with a cheap set :DQuote

I just got my Logitech G51's for £100 and I am very impressed.

They are perfect for gaming and movies while the music performance is above average too.

All in all I can see very little reason to pay more than £100 now unless you are a complete audio nut.Quote

I'd probably give that a go if it had a headphone pass through socket.Quote

its not so much being an audio nut as needing more inputs than cheaper sets of speakers give. it drives me crazy having to switch the cables all the time.Quote
