Featuring 27 watts of total system power, these retro-styled computer speakers will dramatically improve the sound of your gaming, TV, and movies. With a deep-bass ported subwoofer, clear mid-range, and a crisp high-end frequency response, these speakers are easy to connect to your TV, video gaming system, DVD player, or VCR and provide a quick start up. They also sport handy, dual headphone jacks, so two people can enjoy the action without disturbing their neighbors or sleeping friends. The unit also provides an EQ mode selector with three separate equalization modes for an optimal sound experience, including: TV mode, which adds bass appropriate for TV and movie viewing, Gaming Mode for extra thumps, bumps and booms, and if you can’t get enough of that, there’s Max-Bass Mode, which provides “wall-shaking sound”. Also provided are a wired remote, with power on/off, master volume, and EQ mode selector, an auxiliary input jack for connection to two unique sources (say, a PlayStation and MP3 player) simultaneously. Altec Lansing also shields the satellites for interference-free use near TV sets and video monitors, and provides color-coded cables for easy installation.
The graphics in today’s video games are simply amazing. Unfortunately, your TV’s speakers are amazingly lame. It’s time to upgrade to a sound system that brings your favorite games to life – the XA3021. Two 3″ satellites let you hear every screech, crash or laser blast with incredible clarity, while the 5.25″ long-throw woofer ensures you’ll feel every smash, bump and thump. The same is true for action movies and DVDs. For more realistic and intense video gaming and movies, you can’t go wrong with this powerful system.

BIG sound, SMALL price!
In my office we’ve had everything from this set (which I bought for $19.95) to speakers costing up to $349. These get the most compliments and are the coolest looking 2.

Headphone jacks LOSE CONTACT
I am very agitated with this crap. The whole contraption is excellent instead of the headphone jacks.

Highly recommended: great sound for a good price.
Apparently these are discontinued or for some other reason unavailable. I found my set on ebay. Do what you have to do to find them.

Great quality for an inexpensive product
I rarely write reviews, but for the XA3021 I have to login and put a few lines. For $20, this is the best buy ever for me.

I bought these off of BUY.com for $17.99 with free shipping. Probably the best deal I have ever gotten off the internet!

Altec Lansing XA3021 Cheesy Look But Great Sound
I was looking to replace my malfunctioning Aiwa stereo system that I had hooked up to my computer as my computer’s speakers. I found the system on XA3021 on buy.com for $19.

Best audio bang for the buck
There is little to say about this 2.1 system since once you turned it on, you are instantly awed by its sound.
