4.0 out of 5 stars Looking for cheap speakers - these are them, February 21, 2005

This review is from: Altec Lansing 121 Powered Speaker System (3 Speakers) (Personal Computers)

Needed cheap speakers for my son's hand me down PC. He's playing kid games - Reader Rabbit, Jump Start, Backyard Sports- that sort of thing. Also, occasionally watching a DVD on the PC (Hey I grew up with a 8 inch TV. He can sure watch a movie on a 17" monitor). These work fine for this.

Do you need high fidelity surround sound for your music and heavy duty gaming? Skip these. And if you even considered these $25 speakers for that, you don't know what you are looking for. But for everyday, simply want to get sound out of my computer use, these are a fine solution. (...)
If you understand what you are going to get from these low priced speakers, you won't be disappointed. If you expect anything more, spend more money.

Be aware that the model that is being sold is 121
not 221 as shown in the product manual that you can
download. A completely different speaker.

This is the best low-priced speakers I ever had. It's truly a mighty midget.
