These speakers cause quite a bit of interference with my cell phone. I did not have this problem with my old speakers. There is very loud interference when the phone is connecting, like during a call or just before a text message. And there is occasional interference when the phone is sitting on my desk. I could not recommend these speakers to any who plans on using a cell phone near their desk. which is pretty much everyone right?

Maybe it isn't fair of me to write this review. I picked up two of these sets and planned to give them for Christmas. The speakers have no material or grill, no protection from damage. Seems that is inviting a kick to the bass unit (subwoofer) which sits on the floor, or perhaps fingers poking from grandchildren visiting. They may sound great, don't know. I took them back and purchased the Logitech X-540, instead.

I bought this from Office Depot 3 weeks ago. It has a bad left speaker. So, I took it back to Office Depot and they refused to return it because their return policy is 14 days. They refused to stand behind the products they sell and so I was forced to turn to the manufacturer to return it. Altec Lansing told me that I'd have to pay for the shipping to return it. The shipping would be half the price of the product it's self and would take 2 hours of my time to box it up and drive to UPS etc. So:

DON'T BUY THIS OR ANY ALTEC LANSING PRODUCT.

AND, DON'T SHOP AT OFFICE DEPOT.

the sounds quality is not bad.

but it has random noise when there is cell phone signal around the speakers.

it's very bad design since it's pc speakers.
