What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System
  • Pretty good-sized sub woofer that has good bass.
  • Like it or not, speakers size is directly proportional to their ability to move air and generate midbass frequencies. Recommend.
  • Surprisingly loud for their size and they sound great.
  • I am really pleased with the performance, size and value.
  • The thing that impresses me about these AL2.1's is their small size and their heavy gauge wires.
Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker
  • The bass is deep, actually surprisingly deep for the size of it.
  • I like low bass and the 4621 sounded amazing for its size.
  • The sub is about the size of a foot stool. I like this size.
  • The subwoofer hefty in size and sounds great. Recommend.
  • Speakers are great for a small sized room and even for a medium sized room they can really put out.

What customers say about "Audio"
Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System
  • The VS4121 sounded cleaner and and more balanced than other old speakers.
  • It was a great sounding set of speakers. These did suffer from "mid-drop" but it can be mitigated with EQ.
  • The sound is great. The bass is unbelievably good, deep and loud.
  • The sound, the controls, the look, all excellent.
  • No mid-range is an issue, with the hum and some noise.
Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker
  • That's 13 years. They lasted THAT long and pushed great sound up until the moment they died.
  • They sound amazing! I can crank up my audio wide open and push as much to them as I want.
  • I can't get them to distort in the least. They have amazing sound!
  • They are clear and don't sound too tinny. If you like to listen to music and not blast it these serve their purpose nicely.
  • In terms of sound quality, these are easily the poorest mini-speakers I've ever heard.

What customers say about "Features"
Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System
  • They arrived and I was incredibly impressed with their design.
  • The wiring is ingenious (and unobtrusive) and the controls are within easy reach.
  • They looked FANTASTIC next to my flat panel and small Shuttle cube.
  • The bass can be quite overpowering, but that can be adjusted by changing the bass and treble settings on the speaker.
  • I constantly found myself reaching for the controls trying to tone down the aggressive bass and the PIERCING tweeters, all to no avail.
Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker
  • It comes with a more advanced DTS audio controls which has an enhanced feature that enhances the bass, treble.
  • This usually comes defaults to a smaller cheaper set of PC speakers to increase the quality.
  • If you simply lower the bass adjustment so its not pushing out extra bass and treble, the sound is awesome.
  • The sweet spot that gives me the best sound is to have the treble all the way up, cool feature.
  • The only problem I have is that there is bass and treble volume control but it's no working.
