Great price, but possible interference 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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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.	2	754 days ago
amazing I bought these to replace the bottom line Dell speakers that came with my computer, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! These speakers are amazing! There is a perfect balance between treble and bass with these, and the SFX effect button makes all the difference expanding the sound range! These speakers are also capable of getting VERY loud with alot of bass! I would recomend these very strongly to anyone looking for PC or gaming speakers!	5	754 days ago
Great sound at a great price 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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />Highly recommended!	5	754 days ago
Great speakers on a budget I just recently became an avid online gaming fanatic and realized early on that the speakers that came with my computer just weren't cutting it. I didn't want to spend a ton of money to get great sound and in looking for options in the $50-$100 range I decided to purchase the VS2221 2.1 system from Altec Lansing. I opted for a 3-speaker system since having 5.1 isn't that important to me and was out of my price range. <br /> <br />What a difference in sound! Listening to the music from the cinematic for World of Warcraft is a whole new experience. All of a sudden you can hear layers of music that weren't there before! The in-game experience has also been enriched as the subwoofer delivers the booms and bangs and you don't need to have the subwoofer dialed all the way. I keep the SFX button on to have the wider range of sound. I also chose the VS2221 model because the 2 main speakers are slim and fit nicely next to my flat-panel monitor and even have a blue power light which matches the power lights on my computer. The subwoofer is a compact size and fits below my desk nicely. <br /> <br />My only true gripe is that the subwoofer control is on the subwoofer so if I need to make an adjustment I have to crawl under my desk. Not a totally big deal but I expected as much for the price I paid. What's also great is that the flat panel speakers are magnetically shielded so that you can place them safely next to your monitor. However, the subwoofer isn't and the company recommends that you place it at least 2 feet away from your computer and monitor. <br /> <br />Overall I would recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a higher quality of sound without making your wallet wince.	5	754 days ago
