Product Description

Built-in laptop speakers are pretty underwhelming and that is just a fact of life. Sure, they are good for a beep here and ping there, but if you are ever tried to share your favorite song, watch a movie, or make a multimedia presentation using your laptop speakers, you know exactly what we mean.Introducing the Altec Lansing XT1 system. In addition to its thin, innovative design with removable stands, the XT1 delivers superb sound and surprisingly deep bass thanks to four full-range neodymium micro drivers and bass enhancement technology.And just like your laptop, the XT1 knows how to travel light. Because it is USB-powered, there is no need for a power supply and no batteries to forget. Plug it into your USB port, press play, and you will be listening to the best portable sound you are ever heard from a laptop. Pack it up in its deluxe carrying case, and you are ready for your next trip.

These speakers are easy to use. The sound is amazing especially considering the low (3 watts) power consumtion. Good clarity and range from my mid-technical analysis. The carrying case is also substantial - a real organizational plus! All around, I am very satisfied.

I bought these two years ago and they just died on me. I went right back to Bose speakers which are the same price and, although not usb powered, sounded so much better. - these were only marginally better than the speakers in my Macbook - I also hated the slim design - they kept falling over.

I have been looking for speakers that are easy to travel with without sacrificing sound quality. After several failures, I finally discovered the perfect presentation speakers that have great sound quality and come in a very easy to pack compact case that is easy to carry even in a laptop case. The sound quality of these speakers is amazing for their cost and size.
