Great sound for the $$

"I just love these plug and play speakers. I actually bought them for my pc but I liked them so well that I traded out the speakers on my Mac and put those on the pc since I use the Mac 90% of the time. The sound is nice and clear! The size is great. I have a non-adjustable height Samsung monitor and these speakers sit low enough that the monitor doesn't block the sound. All in all great product for the money!..."

Sound quality higher than $20 - but you lose a USB port.

"Altec Lansing is a good name, I've owned a pair of their home audio speakers previously and they were crisp and clear. These little computer speakers are surprising for their size and the sound that they deliver. Not much in the way of bass, but the mids and highs are very clear. I found Jazz and other live instrument/vocal music to be especially nice to listen to on these, while R&B/Hip-Hop was not as good s..." Read Full Review »

The Altec Lansing BXR1220 - Affordable USB Powered Bare Bones 2.0 Speakers, But Still Not Travel Friendly

★★★☆☆

"Altec Lansing's BXR1220s are not designed for those who want audiophile quality sound. So far, the sound has not really improved much over the past few weeks after breaking these in for long stretches. Considering the price it's hard to get too demanding in the sound department. Relative to many …"  Read Full Review »

Good, basic speakers

★★★★★

"These speakers will never make my computer sound like my expensive stereo with Bose surround sound, but for the money they work great. I especially like that they do not require a separate power source but can run off the USB port on my notebook. I didn't expect that they also need to be connected …"  Read Full Review »

"I have an older Mac G4 Powerbook, and I have had some trouble running newer devices from the USB ports due to the age of my computer. I don't know if the technology has been updated since I bought my Powerbook (around 2001), but some things just don't want to make the connection.

"What these are: Nice stereo speakers for your laptop or portable computer, easy to hook up.



What they are not: Bass pounding, ear-drum-blowing, super speakers. iPod speakers. People complain they are not good for iPods. They are not designed for iPods, but for computers - or any device with a stand …"  Read Full Review »
