In this price range, these speakers take the prize hands down. Sound is more than acceptable (maybe mids lack just a little bit). Good name, well thought out cords (although speakers are not detachable from each other). These are sitting in my dorm room, and I am very satisfied.

I'm actaully glad that I made this purchase. Given that these speakers are not high end, I was a little concerned. I was pleasantly surprised when I got them hooked up to my computer. For the price, I am satisfied with the sound that these speaker produce. The volume is good for listening at the desk and in the same room. The clarity is fairly decent. If the bass is turned up, it does get garbled. A moderate bass setting produces no problems.

Strengths: good price, decent looks, plugs for headphones/ mp3 player

Weaknesses: not for high performance, power switch is on bass box which is placed out of sight. Makes it hard to reach if it is placed out of the way.

I just finished listening to a variety of music on these speakers. I stuck with Altec because the last set was AWESOME. Unfortunately I can not say the same for this set. The sound is not clear and sharp. If you are a true music fanatic, don't get this set. I figured the Altec name would keep quality up there as it had in the past. Not the case here. I'm sending them back and upgrading. Lesson learned.

If you are not real picky on the sharpness of the sound that comes out of your stereo, then these will please you.

This is a fantastic 3-Piece Computer Speaker System. The title says 2-Piece, but it is wrong. These things crank pretty nicely and for the money I don't know how you beat them. The only thing I would do is weigh them down a bit as they are so light that operating the controls on the right side speaker might cause the unit to move a bit.

Easy hook up, great sound and a low price make these speakers a great addition if you are looking for 2.1 channel performance.

24.88 at Wal-Mart, can't beat that, and they're a definite improvement over my laptop's built-in pair... but it's all treble with this set! Straight out of the box, this set sounds like a Walkman from 1980, even after turning the bass all the way up, and the treble all the way down! After resorting to a third-party graphic equalizer utility, I was able to get response out of the subwoofer. Shoulda spent a few more bucks, my last set, made by, of all people, GE, was much, much more dynamic! 5 stars for the price, -2 for the lack of bass.
