Speakers made for pros but at a consumer price

byalanly165 Sep 29, 2002
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros excellent bass, great quality, and more!
Cons wires just a bit to short (for me)
Recommended it? Yes

I just bought my pair of Altec Lansing 211 speakers, and I must say it's really incredible! The subwoofer that comes with this piece may look small but is very powerfull! And the other 2 speakers are also small but again very powerful. To me it was worth the 80 buck (in CDN). Trust me if you run... Read full review »

You mean that sound is from your computer speakers!

Pros Great Sound, Good looks, easy hook-up
Cons Bass a little overpowering
Recommended it? Yes

Well after buying a new computer box, I decided it was time to upgrade my speaker system from the cheap media speakers that came with my old outdated computer.

Now what kind of sound was I looking for?

I do not play any of those crash boom games on my computer, so I was looking... Read full review »

The Mercedes-Benz of Speakers

Pros Clean and clear sound. Bass gives good thumping!
Cons None...
Recommended it? Yes

Altec Lansing is the Mercedes-Benz of speakers... it looks good, sounds good and it's worth the money. Before these i had the Logitech Z-340, i got it for the same price. After trying out both of them the Altec Lansing comes out on top for cleaner and crisper sound quality. It's also not just about... Read full review »

Pros sound, price, looks
Cons sub gets distorted when turned up
Recommended it? Yes

I finally saved enough money to get myself a computer, I used to always use the family computer which I used to hog all the time and used to drive me crazy when I was playing a game, or typing an email that I had to get up and find something else to do.

I saved up alot of money, I bought... Read full review »

Lots of distorted boom

byDrMobots Oct 26, 2002
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros easy setup, handsome packaging, good high and midrange
Cons distorted bass
Recommended it? Yes

Despite my faithful portable JVC boombox was still alive and well after some 13 years of service, I decided to get some speakers with more bass to play MP3 files on my computer. Off I went to Costco and found the Altec Lansing speakers are available for $35 tax. That's $15 less compared to Fry's... Read full review »

$150 speakers hiding in a $50 box.

bycchubb Oct 29, 2002

Pros Best bass response of any sub $150 speaker set. Clean and no distortion.
Cons Can pick up feedback from my big monitor.
Recommended it? Yes

When I went to the computer store I must have listened to 20 different speaker / sub sets head to head on the shelf. The experience went kind of like this:
"tinny", "distortion", "ugly", "flimsy", "even more tinny", "WOW!", "no volume control", "expensive", "yukky".

The "WOW!" was... Read full review »

Not too bad

bykmk817 Apr 23, 2004
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros compact size
Cons poor bass reproduction
Recommended it? No

I bought these speakers for an old computer I was planning to only use to play MP3s. I was initially very pleased with their sound reproduction for the price. The drawback I discovered over time was that the sub-woofer sounded poor with songs with a lot of bass. The bass reproduction was poor and... Read full review »

Pros Clear, loud, cheap, nice sound
Cons Bass distorts a little at higher volumes
Recommended it? Yes

I just bought the VS 2121cb package from Costco. For 39.99 it included the 3 main speakers plus a pair of headphones and a stereo RCA to headphone(FF) adapter. I was very impressed with the sound. Granted the base doesn't pound your chest and tends to distort a little, but I think it is rather good... Read full review »

Pros Billowing sound, astounding looks, the best price, operation?--a breeze!
Cons Not many cons- I'm just regretful that I couldn't get them sooner!
Recommended it? Yes

I had just received a new computer, but it didn't come with any speakers. After encountering my uncle, he recommended this pair of speakers. He saw them at Sams C!ub for only 35.00! Almost immediately we drove down there and picked up a pair.
I had heard good things about A!tec Lansing, so I... Read full review »

Expensive speakers at cheap price :)

bysladezero980 Nov 3, 2002
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good clear bass. No rattling bass sound. Expensive sound system for $50
Cons Wish it had 2 extra speakers (rear)...pay the $20 and you can have them.. :)
Recommended it? Yes

I got the speakers for $50. I was going to get some others ($25) but the sound has a warm bass that is not only clear but pleasing to the ears. This is a must. I keep asking others if this was the best system for my money but, I already know the answer to that....YES !!! Get this if you are on a... Read full review »
