Rating: - Review for Altec Lansing XT2
I am not particularly happy with the product. The sound is really tinny and cracks up midway up the volume range. The audio performance should have been better with a speaker priced close to $80. The only benefit is that it runs on USB as well, but then the sound output drops to half. Overall, will not recommend to others.
Rating: - Great speakers!
I bought these speakers to go with my MacBook Pro to do on-site recording & mixing with my ProTools M-Box rig. In a word, these are great. I chose them over the Logitech speakers because you have the option to power them either via USB or via A/C- so you can plug your iPod or portable CD player into them, for example.
Frequency response is excellent, and the imaging / detail is particularly noteworthy. No they don't really crank & will distort in the bass at high volumes, but there has to be a tradeoff somewhere. There's a subwoofer out (which I haven't tried), but if you need louder volumes / more bass, you could plug a subwoofer into them & you should be all set.
They come with a nifty little carrying case and lots of adapters for international A/C outlets. A little pricey, but I think a fair value.
Rating: - Nice laptop accessory
Sometimes you'd like some music for a group where you don't have a formal music set-up. These laptop speakers do a nice job. On a vacation in Italy, all the laptop music, even from the internet, was ringing out. Good volume and tone.
Rating: - waste of money and technology
looks good, but has only 2Watt power. Way less then build in laptop speakers..complete waste of money and technology, but looks good though.
