Pros Amazingly clear sound; accurate surround sound simulation
Cons controls sometimes become difficult
Recommended it? Yes

The Altec ACS 495 speakers deliver amazing sound with only 3 speakers. With this system you get two satellite speakers and one very large subwoofer. And let me tell you these things can handle anything you give them.

The two satellite speakers are each about 8" tall and should be placed on... Read full review »

Pros Great bang for the buck
Cons No real surround sound
Recommended it? Yes

When I play a game that uses the powerful subwoofer, the quality is so great that I can FEEL it. With two speakers and the monster subwoofer I get stereo quality sound. I have a A3D compatible sound card and that only makes the sound that much better. The quality was great before I upgraded my... Read full review »

Pros Great sound! Excellent sub!
Cons No seperate treble control. Too many wires!
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this set of speakers with my computer. At the time, I just purchased them because of the price I was getting them at. But, after hooking them up to my computer, I have to say, I was quite impressed.

The sound on these speakers is very good. If you have a Soundblaster Live... Read full review »

Pros size, price
Cons clarity is not the best
Recommended it? Yes

The Christmas season is near, and what better way to break into epinions than for me to tell you why you should go buy these speakers.

I have always been a staunch supporter of the Altec family, but even i was a little surprised at the quality of these speakers. They are small and fit... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, great sound
Cons Not real surround
Recommended it? Yes

My God, these speakers rock. The are able to produce sound at an amazing depth and quality, and are perfect for gamers or musicians. In a small office, you can't stand to be in the same room if these things are turned up more than bout 4 notches (out of 10).

The subwoofer connects via USB... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, and inexpensive.
Cons Not as many features as some of the bigger names.
Recommended it? Yes

When I bought my new Dell PC I needed to get speakers that gave me a good sweet sound and did not break my budget. The Boston Acoustics were very nice, but Altec had a large variety of speakers that were in my price range. I bought the Altec 495's and realized that I had received a great deal.

Overview
Altec Lansing is a name that's been around in audio for a long time. With a spotless history, anything with the Altec Lansing name on it is definitely worth a try. With these high expectations, and even higher hopes, I gave the 495 computer speakers a try...and I was not disappointed... Read full review »

Pros great bass, interface
Cons surround is horrible
Recommended it? No

These ACS 495's came with the computer my family purchased back in 1997. I am quite pleased with these speakers still, even though they are 3 years old their quality has not been greatly surpassed by the competition of other PC Speakers.

The ACS495 has 2 satellites which stand about 9... Read full review »
