Ok…..
I did alot of research of speakers before I purchased these. I do like them but right off I noticed they can’t handle deep base very well so that is my only con.

Very good quality and price
This is probably the best value, great price to sound quality ratio. They will give you the best 2.0 sound, deep bass response, very good power.

Amplifier failed, Landfill material.
These Altec Lansing speakers ‘used to’ sound good for cheap speakers…. but sadly, didn’t last much over year. Now they only play out of one channel.

Good Speakers
These speakers are not outstanding by any means. They do improve my ability to hear music and movies on my laptop computer.

music to my ears…..

Not Altec Lansing Quality
You get what you pay for. Don’t expect Altec Lansing quality from this speaker. It’s just like other cheap desktop speakers.

Two Stars Is Generous
I never would have bought these speakers if I had known how bad they would sound. I’ve played jazz from several sources through these speakers and one movie.
