Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: excellent sound, fairly compact, adjustable speaker stands

Weakness: lots of wires, doesn't include headphone jack wire

Bought this to use in my garage and was very surprised at the quality of sound. Other reviews are accurate, lots of wires and does get a bit messy. Corded remote control is nice, but would be better if it was baked into one of the speakers. For the price (17.99 on buy.com) it was really hard to beat.

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: *Sound great. *Inexpensive. *Funky looking - cool. *Wired volume control has two headphone ports. *Comes with cables to connect to TV or video game console.

Weakness: Does not come with a cable to connect to computer

I purchased these speakers to accompany my DVD/TV setup - and was totally impressed with the sound quality. Crystal clear sound quality - plus absolute wicked bass! Prepare to be blasted away when you turn on the subwoofer - wow, the sound is incredible! I can't believe I paid under $50 for these speakers! I now use them to plug my ipod into - the sound is amazing! While the design of the...

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Definitely one of the coolest looking speaker systems around.

Weakness: Really meant for gaming systems only.

These speakers look great and have adequate sound to back that up. They were manufactured to be used for gaming systems though, so they are probably not the best speakers to get for PCs. For the price though (I paid $20 before rebate), they are definately a steal!

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Very good sound. Both treble and bass

Weakness: Lack of adapter for PC, non shielded sub-woofer

After reading many reviews, I chose to go with this system. I was prepared for the lack of an adapter, so got them hooked up right away (easy buy at the local Radio Shack). The sound is very impressive for a $30 set of speakers! They sound much better than my son's fancy boom box which did not make him happy. Hook-up only took 5 mins since the instructions were very clear. Other than the Flash...

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Wonderful sound. Looks great in just about any environment. The difference in the style is just enough to make it very unique.

Weakness: The cables and connectors could be just a litte bit longer.

Overall these are awsome speakers. If you are a gamer the clairty of these speakers will just about blow you away. Looks great in just about any environment. The difference in the style is just enough to make it very unique.

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Great bass. Very good sound quality. Cool looks.

Weakness: lottsa cords to get tangled up.

This is an exellent sound system for the money. We got it for $30 on a deal so, its worth every penny. It highly supasses all our tests. We hooked ours up to our laptop so it works great with computers as well as tv's. The only downfall is that this thing has tons of cord that are hard to keep from tangling up. I would highly recommend this system.

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Great apartment speaker

Weakness: The remote control is not wireless

I bought this speaker in Christimas. The price I got is $29.99 in Target. The total quality is good. You even can find there are plastic caps for each plug. Because I am living in an apartment, I don't want my speakers shake whole apartment build like my neighbor did. So this speaker is perfect for my need and the sound quality is good. If you like 5.1 speaker, you can find its sibling product.

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Great sound. Best deal on speakers you'll find.

Weakness: Not very pretty... Need to buy an extra 1/8 inch to RCA cord to use them with your PC.

I purchased these speakers for $30 on sale at Target, and bought a similar $40 set of logitech speakers on the same day. I took them both home to listen to the difference. The altec lansings blew the logitech speakers out of the water. The sound is really great, especially for the price. Also, these speakers give you a great deal of control over the amount of bass you get out of the subwoofer....

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: sound quality

Weakness: too many wires. Need to buy and auxilary wire connection to use it for your pc

Bought it for my 6 yr olds computer I was building. The bass speaker looks like a bomb and he is into those types of games. The speaker grills are removable so they can be painted to match the PC's color. Sound is awesome and price is really good.

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker System

Strengths: Great sound, Excellent Bass, Durable build, Cranks out

Weakness: Too many wires and cords if the Subwoofer needs to be put in the open.

These speakers are awesome. Cranks way louder than I can handle and still sounds good. If you love a lot of bass for a good price, these are the speakers for you. I have to turn the bass down for my liking. I attached these speakers to my DVD player and use them for watching movies and listening to CD's and MP3's. You will not need an expensive home theater system or receiver and amp. The only...
