Digital camera reviews of Altec Lansing VS2620 Speakers for Computers and MP3 Players (Black)
Digital camera Review: "Crystal-Clear" at Typical Volume, Great Value, But Not Very Adjustable
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I tend to be skeptical of just how well $30 speakers can perform, but these impressed me! Altec Lansing markets these as "Crystal-Clear" and I found the claim to be more or less true at the volume you'd typically listen to sound, though quality diminishes at higher volume.
Out of the box, these have well-adjusted sound that was of much better quality than I'd expect of speakers at this price point. I thought they'd be more in the range of the dinky USB-powered speakers that came with my old computer, but these speakers' external power provides enough juice to bring the music up a notch.
I also liked the style! You get a sense for their shape in the photographs, but what you can't tell is that these speakers are nearly a foot tall so they have a noticeable presence on your computer desk.
The downside beyond diminished quality at higher volume is simply that the speakers aren't very adjustable. There's a knob that lets you tilt the sound toward more treble or more bass, but I found that my music lost its "crystal-clear" quality if you tried to adjust the sound much at all. so the control isn't very useful.
Overall, I'd say these speakers are a great buy at $30 and I wouldn't hesitate to use them as a fairly capable set of computer speakers. The quality loss at higher volume limits their ability to fill a whole room with "crystal-clear" sound, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you get for so little money.
Summary of Altec Lansing VS2620 Speakers for Computers and MP3 Players (Black)
The versatile VS2620 stereo speaker system boldly breaks the mold with striking contemporary design and crystal-clear sound for music, movies and games. The unique angled shape directs the full-spectrum audio toward you for improved sound imaging and their compact size is ideal for desktop use. All the controls are right at hand. As an added convenience, the handy secondary input jack lets you connect your MP3 or CD player while still linked to your computer.PC Speakers
