Editorial Reviews:
|
"Immersive sound" is an audio advance that changes the listening experience. Music no longer seems to come through a speaker, but from an extended soundstage. Altec Lansing's proprietary SFX signal-processing immersion technology audibly widens the soundstage to a startling degree. Tuck it under your flat-screen monitor for a new audio experience - and enjoy a refreshingly open desktop, improved wire management and simplified speaker connections to your PC and iPod or CD player.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worth the $$
Comment: I got a good deal on the sound bar and I still regret the purchase. It doesn't sound bad, but it is certainly not worth the exorbitant price. It really doesn't save that much space, which is the only reason anyone should purchase it. Go with a 3 piece speaker system with subwoofer and you will get far superior sound quality. Not sure why this is rated so high. It's a bit of a rip off.

Summary: Well made speakers that do not dissapoint
Comment: These speaker work great for what I need them for. Being a student in a college dorm room they are perfect for me. They project more than enough sound. The bass is a little weaker than I am used to, but I spoil myself with subwoofers. The few wires needed is a great big plus. I would not buy this to replace a good 2.1 setup, but it is a great setup if you need speakers. A soundbar just cannot replace tru surround sound. In short, great product, but no better than surround sound unless you only want two wires(one for power and one for sound).
Customer Rating:
Summary: sub par speakers
Comment: I have to say the sellers were outstanding. I wish I could say that for the speaker. It is mediocre at best. Perhaps it is better when new. It adds volume but little else to my ersatz home theater arrangement. I bought it as a second speaker for my TV because internal speakers on the TV is so bad. If it had more bass and more volume I would like it better. It was cheap however which led me to it initially.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Computer Sound Bar!
Comment: I am no audiophile. I just needed/wanted decent sound for a new computer I bought that did not come with speakers (I wasn't interested in buying the optional computer speakers because I wanted decent sound since I planned on using my 22" monitor to watch movies across the room). SO, I read A Lot of reviews on Many different speakers and chose the Altec Lansing SoundBar Speakers. They never received Rave reviews nor did many have horrible things to report. That was interesting (often items get "polar reviews"). I braved the $40 bargain and hoped I hadn't wasted what I thought was half of what I should pay for a decent computer speaker. I AM VERY happy with my new speakers let me tell you why:
PROS:
1- Volume is loud enough to hear movies 10-12' across room
2- Sound is rich enough to listen to music files 10-12' away!
3- Handy volume dial AND mute function at fingertips!
4- Optional headphone jack on side of unit!
5- You probably won't wake the neighbor with this speaker!
CONS:
1 - A power cord and speaker cable exit the back (it cannot run on batteries). This is not a "portable" speaker if that is what you need.
2- It sits a little too high for my new monitor. I don't know why it was designed to sit 1" off the desk (it would be perfect height for me if it didn't, so I put my computer on a platform and put the mouse there when not in use).
3- A little "bulky" looking - do not buy it for its looks!
4- You probably won't wake the neighbor.
After a week of testing, I can honestly report that this speaker has surprised me! The Altec Lansing SoundBar Speaker has impressed me with it's rich sound, volume capability, convenience features and saved me from paying what I thought I Had to for decent sound!!!
