Product Description
Manufacturer Description
It's a compact, value-priced sound system. And yet the Altec Lansing VS2420 packs an incredible wallop. Delivering crisp, clean sound from custom-engineered dual, full-range 2.5-inch speakers. You get surprising highs, mid-range and lows from efficient little satellites that take up a minimum amount of space on your desk. Controls are right on the front of the speaker. A handy headphone jack is right nearby, too. And there's even a secondary input jack that lets you connect your MP3 or CD player while still linked to your PC.
Features include:
- Crystal-clear Sound: Thrusts you into the movie and gaming experience!
- Powerful Bass: Feel shakes and quakes from the front-firing, long-throw subwoofer housed in a ported, wooden cabinet.
- Full-featured Wireless Remote: Sit back and enjoy the experience! Includes controls for stand-by, volume levels, stereo/surround modes, and toggle switch for your MP3 player and PC.
- Wall-mountable speakers with removable stands for a convenient and flexible installation.
- Distinctive Styling: Looks great next to your flat panel monitor or anywhere in your home.
- Dual-Mode System: Each listening mode is specially engineered to provide outstanding performance.
- Gamers and movie enthusiasts: Use the Surround mode with your PC's 6-channel sound card, or even your gaming console or DVD player, to thrill your senses with the vivid, panoramic experience of surround sound.
- Music lovers: Switch to the Stereo mode to experience what great stereo sound is all about.
- Headphone Jack for private listening.
- Secondary input jack: Connect two different audio sources -- your PC and iPod, for instance -- at the same time.
- Shielded Satellites for use near video monitors.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Serves its purpose, nicely,
By RK (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Altec Lansing VS2420 2.0 Music & Gaming Stereo Speaker System (Black) (Personal Computers)
These speakers are small, and so they are designed to fit very small spaces and work as computer speakers for basic, everyday use. Right? Yeah, I think if you want something greater for extreme gaming or booming bass then you need to look elsewhere. These are pretty much bottom of the line Altec Lansing, and for the purpose they were designed for, they work great. They do have good bass and respond well to sound you put through them for a small room or deskspace atmosphere. No, they wont fill a room with astounding vibrations and blow you away, but the quality of sound for a small desk space is very nice. They will get distorted at higher volumes, but if you have a small deskspace, how often are you really going to blast your music? I have been impressed with Altec Lansing for their products, and because these speakers work well for the reason they were made, I give them 4 solid starts. Not 5 because they aren't the BEST speakers out there, but they deserve 4.

Good Enough,
By Ari "Ari" (ny, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Altec Lansing VS2420 2.0 Music & Gaming Stereo Speaker System (Black) (Personal Computers)
These speakers aren't great but they also don't suck. I replaced a pair of really sucky speakers with these and they do exactly what I need them to. The volume is loud enough to fill an office sized room without distortion. The bass is a bit low and I had to turn up the tone nob but most people like deep bass so I'm probably alone in upping the tone (they definitely don't sound tinny). I paid $10 less than they are listed for and think that $30 is a tad bit too much. As long as they don't die within a year they're worth $20.

Decent speaker to replace OLD basic speakers that come with the orignal PC,
By
This review is from: Altec Lansing VS2420 2.0 Music & Gaming Stereo Speaker System (Black) (Personal Computers)
These speakers in my opinion are Decent for basic computing. I would not recommend for serious music listening, even though it plays music ok. The range of the sound produced is very limited.
I expected more quality from Altec but I guess you get what you pay for. In all, these are OK for general basic use and to replace the cheap factory speakers that came with your PC.
