My only criticism it ergonomic. It would be more convenient if the on/off switch was incorporated in the top side volume control instead of on the back. Having to pick up the right-hand speaker so that it can be turned to reach the on/off switch. It seems like a stupid design mistake. The sound is pretty good but the bass would be improved with the addition of a sub-woofer. For someone wanting speakers with a small footprint and good sound these would be a very cost effective choice. Some reviewers have criticised the bright orange power light. I find it a little distracting: a tiny green light would have been a better choice.

These little speakers sound good and and perform very well, especially for the price. I researched before I purchased these, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend anyone with limited space, or anyone who just wants something small and cool looking to provide sound for their laptop to look into these speaker for their setup. These are by no way made for a gaming setup, but they make the late night Netflix and Hulu watching much more enjoyable since I can now hear all the dialog. I would recommend getting the next step up the Altec Lansing BXR1221; with the bass, if you want these for music and movies.

Good looking speakers & small enough to fit my desk space. ONLY 1 wire coming out of the back is USB for both power and signal. The volume is just fine. Unfortunately, the sound is rather tinny, as one might expect from small speakers. The fast shipping was also a plus, so this product gets 5 stars from me!

i'm very happy with these full-range speakers. sound is more than satisfactory for the size and price. very easy to use and takes up very little desk space. if you're not an audiophile and don't want to spend much on desktop speakers, this is an excellent option.
Worth every penny, these small tubes will impress. bargained priced thru Ebay they cost under $13 sitting at the door! USB powered and plug into source of sound you can now hear what was once not loud enough, hooked up to my laptop and the games came alive, hooked up to my Police Scanner amd it sounded like I was at the dispatch, your Ipod will sound great also. The name Altec Lansing has been a pioneer in sound since I was a kid and was considered top shelf by the critics, so these 2 and a half inch round by 4 and a half deep produce very good sound for their size. On/off switch on back and roller volume on left speaker top is all you need to upgrade your sound, Best Buy on Ebay, you'll like!
