      3 out of 5 stars Good speakers for price, but not great.......2007-02-22

      I have had these speakers for over a year now and they are amazing. Good quality sound and the volume range is higher than I will ever need. No noticeable distortion either.

      That being said, the reason I gave these things 3 stars is the volume control. Over time, the volume nob will cause the speakers to give back extremely loud and annoying static when moved. That is, when I turn the volume up from nil, I get enormous amount of static while turning. The volume of the static comes out louder than any music that would play at that level. The only way to get rid of this is to move the dial up to max volume and back to nil a few times. This will fix the problem for about half an hour or less, then I get the static problems again.

      I'm not sure if this is just my set of speakers, as everyone else seems to like this model. However, they could have written their reviews after only a month or two of owning. I had this problem occur after six months. Good for the price, but not a long-term product.

      5 out of 5 stars A great set of Speakers.......2007-01-06

      I've had these speakers for about 3months now, and they are still going strong. The base is clear and loud, and the two side speakers are quite precise. Overall, they are great! However, any nearby (about 3ft) cell phones will cause some inteferance, so keep the gadgets away. Otherwise, this is a great system, and has offered me more service than the price I payed for it. If you're shopping for a set of 2.1's for your computer, I highly recommend these.

      5 out of 5 stars Quality sound, exceptional value........2006-07-15

      I purchased this set of speakers for my computer. I wanted more power and richness than my previous speakers provided. I have been very pleased ever since.

      This set of Altec Lansing speakers provides very good audio across a wide range. While this particular package does not have treble or bass adjustments built-in to the satellite speakers, I have had little reason to need them. The high end comes across clearly with no crackling or distortion and the lows are rich and full. The subwoofer has a bass volume control at the back of the box, which is a tad inconvenient, but the unit can kick out some serious vibe. At the halfway mark your surroundings will be thumping (and loose objects will be rattling). Coupled with any sort of equalizer, you can truly appreciate the range and capability of this package.

      What you will find on the side speakers is a volume control, SFX button and headphone jack. All are on the right side speaker. The volume control is more than adequate with a smooth, gradual transition from comfortably quiet to ear-pounding volume levels. The SFX option widens the stereo separation between speakers and works nicely if they are situated far apart.

      Unfortunately, the cord length between left and right speakers is about 6 feet. The right speaker connects to the sub-woofer and again the cord length between them could have been longer. The sub is powered and cannot be separated from the speakers. This limits potential system setups. I considered rating this 4 stars due to these impediments, but when you factor in the low cost of the package, it's still a 5 star product.

      Everything is built nice and sturdy. I have kicked over the sub a few times and dropped both speakers as well, with no adverse effects apparent. Those looking for something sleek and sexy to show off may be disappointed with this rugged, understated appearance. The sattelite speakers are magnetically shielded and will not distort your computer monitor.

      This set of speakers can also be used with other entertainment such as MP3 players, portable CD players and television sets. I have plugged it into my TVs front headphone jack and the audio improvement was immediately apparent. If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the cords and configuration, I would have bought a second set to use as a very cheap home audio system.

      I have used these speakers for almost two years and they still sound as amazing as the day I got them (after a little warmup). I cannot recommend them highly enough. They sound fantastic and considering the price tag, they are one of the absolute best buys for your entertainment dollar. Why pay twice as much for a similar setup from Logitech when Altec Lansing is offering these beauties?
      I am a very pleased consumer and can recommend this item with no hesitation.

      2 out of 5 stars Great price, but possible interference.......2006-02-07

      I received these speakers as a gift recently, and at first I was excited by the idea of low priced Altec Lansing speakers. Overall, everything was pretty easy and straight forward to set up. Though not the most aesthetically pleasing 2.1 speakers on the market, they don't look too bad considering the price. The sound generally seems to be of good quality and the volume and subwoofer level can both go much higher than I need.

      I started noticing problems right away, however. Randomly, a somewhat deep pulsing sound will be emitted by the speakers. This sound is independent of the volume control and occurs even if the speakers aren't plugged into an audio source. I began to suspect that the speakers were picking up interference of some sort from nearby cell phones (I live in a dorm room) or other wireless signals, especially when someone talking on a cell phone next to the speakers created a great deal of interference (this event only occurred with one particular cell phone). Hoping that this problem was associated only with my particular set of speakers, I exchanged them for a new set of the same model. However, the same pulsing noise returned to the extent where, at times, I'm forced to turn off the speakers in disgust. I plan on returning these speakers soon and will not buy this model again.

      It is my understanding that this type of interference sometimes occurs on other speakers as well and that there is probably something about where I live that is causing these problems. As such, I am giving these speakers a low rating due to my personal dissatisfaction. If this interference was absent, then these speakers would deliver great sound for a great price and would be a good buy. Thus, I recommend using caution when purchasing this product.

      5 out of 5 stars Great sound at a great price.......2006-01-26

      I recently went shopping for new speakers for my Dell PC, since I needed something with a little more power and a larger dynamic range than the bottom of the barrel speakers that came with the computer. I purchased this Altec Lansing system (model VS2221) because it was at a good price, and was recommended by the Best Buy sales associate as a good brand & model within this price range. As a college music major, I listen to a lot of music recordings, and I needed something that would make the recordings sound good and still be practical for use in the residence hall. These speakers perform this task exceptionally well and were well worth the money. They really bring the music to life--I am literally hearing things in the music that weren't there before. With these speakers, its almost like I'm listening to the music for the first time.

      My only complaint is that the control for the subwoofer is (inconveniently) on the back of the sub; this is a minor gripe though and considering the great price of this system, I'll get over it.

      Highly recommended!

      Might not thrill audiophiles but for someone who just wants more volume then the laptop provides it works just fine. It is light and easy to transport. I use it for presentations where sound from the laptop was not loud enough in a large room and it works great.

      I use them with PowerPoint with small groups. The volume is OK but I bought a second unit and found the computer would only run one speaker at a time.

      Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.

      It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.

      Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.

      5 out of 5 stars Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19

      I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.

      5 out of 5 stars Cool!.......2007-01-13

      easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!

        4 out of 5 stars Huge improvement over what I had. Only minor problems........2006-01-20

        These speakers sound amazing in comparison to my PowerBook's built-in speakers, which is what I've been using, and that fills my needs. I'm no audiophile, I don't need 5.1 on my computer, all I need is decent sound for (mostly acoustic) music, DVDs, and World of Warcraft. For the price (same at Amazon as where I bought them) these sound great. Quibbles: I wish the subwoofer level were adjustable without kneeling on the floor. The three cords hardwired into the right speaker are heavy and throw off the balance so the speaker is unsteady on its stand. The speakers do not come with a Y-cable (mini-plug to RCA), even though the instructions refer to one.

        4 out of 5 stars Great Speakers.......2006-01-07

        These speakers sounds incredibly good. The sfx technology sounds great too. I highly reccomend these for thier price range or anything by Altec Lansing. My only dislike is that these speakers do get interference from wireless devices, like cell phones and wireless networking cards in a laptop, so they need to be kept about a foot from any wireless devices or you will hear some fuzzy sounds.

        1 out of 5 stars Not worth it unless you really don't care..........2005-12-27

        ... about how your music sounds. I hooked my VS2221 speakers up tonight and will be returning them ASAP. I listen to a lot of music on my computer and the low end distorts an awful lot with these speakers, which is something my crappy basic Dell speakers didn't do. This is even more evident with using a set of headphones. I adjusted the subwoofer as much as possible and the only way to get the distortion to stop was to turn the sub all the way down - which defeats the purpose of choosing a 2.1 system over a 2.0 system. Not worth the money I paid for them.

        4 out of 5 stars good sound, good price.......2005-12-18

        Admittedly, I don't know very much about speakers in general, but after having used these speakers for a few months now, I can't imagine there could be very much improvement on them, especially considering the price. I play a good variety of music on them, and the sound quality is great, and of course you can adjust the bass accordingly for whatever you might play. I don't set them at the highest volume very often, but when I do the intergrity of the sound does not seem to be compromised. The speakers themselves aren't very obtrusive, and the 2 side speakers are very easy to mount, which is very convenient in a cramped dorm room. And aside from that, the price is very reasonable compared to comprable speakers. Overall, a good buy, recommended!
