ALTEC LANSING VS4221 35 Watts 2.1 Speakers

Pros: Very full sound, especially for the price.

Cons: No match for the boy's Klipsch 2.1 set, but those cost twice as much.

Other Thoughts: Happy with my purchase.

Pros: Hey it works, sounds nice too.

Cons: There must be too much lead in the water, cause I'm a victim of bass poisoning!! Seriously though, WAY too much base, like whoah.

Other Thoughts: I turn the base all the way down, and it sounds normal. Sigh...

Pros: Really great sound! Far deeper bass response than I would expect, and really clear mids and highs. Shielded cables prevent interference from monitors, PSUs etc. Love the remote! It allows for sound control from a distance without needing a PC remote.

Cons: Almost too much bass. Although thats an easy fix, just adjust the bass down with the remote, or through your sound config.

Other Thoughts: Seriously these speakers sound great. They will distort if you have the bass turned too high, but all speakers will do that! I use these on a PC for gaming, music, and watching movies, and once you get the levels adjusted they literally shake the walls! I don't know what some of the other reviewers expect, but these really let me enjoy every sound out of my computer! If you are just looking for good all around speakers for a low price you simply cant go wrong with these. I got lucky and caught them on a "shell shocker" deal but knowing how good they sound they are worth the regular price for sure!

Pros: Good sounding speakers that are well made and look stylish. Loud, Nice remote

Cons: Tone is tricky to set. The subwoofer is also used for midrange so adjustments change the whole tonal range.

Other Thoughts: Not for hardcore audiophiles. Excellent speakers for a stereo TV if you don't need a surround sound system.
I hooked it up to my cell phone and music sounded fine. A great value for the $$$$

Pros: For a small room, these speakers sound excellent. Quality of sound is simply awesome. Easy to setup for any user.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Perfect for a small room....

Pros: They sound great! After installing them I started playing a video game and immediately noticed sounds I had never heard before...

They are small and look kinda cool. TONS of bass, I had to immediately turn the bass down --- although it is fun to sometimes crank it up when listening to some music.

They are great for music, video games and watching movies/tv/videos.

Cons: I didn't get them sooner...

You can only adjust the bass and treble on the remote.

Other Thoughts: For a reasonal price you get a great 2.1 speaker setup.

Pros: This is a great set of speakers. I have owned mine for over 4 years, with zero problems.

The remote works great, with plenty of range. I use it almost every day when watching movies & TV on my PC from across the room. I have yet to use up the included battery.

Stereo imaging is great, even with a non-optimal setup - and I'd bet most of us don't have a room to dedicate to a "perfect" stereo configuration. 35W may not seem like a lot of power, but I have never had a problem with these speakers not being loud enough or distorting.

Sound is very clear through headphones plugged into the right speaker. No background hum or other unwanted noise, whether using a sound card or motherboard sound device as the input.

Cons: The power control isn't great. You have to press the two volume buttons on the right speaker at the same time, which is just about impossible with one hand. Of course, you could use the remote instead.

The headphone jack is located almost on the back of the right speaker, not a very convenient location. But, these are minor gripes on a wonderful set of speakers.

Other Thoughts: These also work great with a console game system. You can have something plugged into the RCA jacks on the back of the subwoofer & also have it hooked up to another sound source via the 1/8" stereo plug. Really nice if you have both your PC and a console hooked up to the same monitor.

I just wish I had bought mine at Newegg, because I paid much more in 2005 for the same thing.

Pros: Good sound, Bass and Trebels Controls, Remote!

Cons: Good but not great sound quality

Other Thoughts: It is very hard to find computer speakers with a wireless remote so for that alone these are great speakers. They also have good sound quality although sometimes watching a movie dialogue isnt as full as it could be. On sale for 40 bucks now, tempted to buy a second set!

Pros: the wireless remote control is definitely useful, although i did not get the thing that holds the remote. the base is wonderful. im an audiophile and want to hear my sound clear. this provides that for me. im very happy with this product and in luv with altec lansing

Cons: nothing yet..

Other Thoughts: its a perfect system for the buck! for 70$ u cant beat it, ordered it on oct 01 and got it oct 02 morning with free shipping! get it here on newegg. nowhwere else. goodluck

Pros: Great quality for 2.1, powerful amp, remote included.

After purchasing these I'm beginning to hear sounds I didn't know even existed.
These speakers can pack a real punch with they're volume potential. I'm not an audiophile myself, not yet anyway, but I think when speakers begin to shake your house, and can still be cranked higher, that may possibly mean they're pretty strong.

Cons: No display to verify how high settings are on sub woofer, or treble while adjusting.
The sub woofer is also a little too powerful, for when I'm trying to watch something late at night, it still has minimal vibration, and may disturb someone in a nearby room. But, I do have paper thin walls.

Other Thoughts: I've only had these speakers for a few days, but I'm still satisfied with my purchase. This is the first time I've written a review after all the stuff I've purchased on newegg. I thought the speakers were a little too gimmicky, but that's pretty easy to get used to.
This description was written while I still have a factory sound card installed, I'm expecting a new one today.
