Review of Altec Lansing ADA 880 PC multimedia speaker system by neilmoore67

Advantages: great sound quality, high volumes, durable
Disadvantages: unclear set-up

...I got Altec Lansing speakers about 5 years ago with the first family PC we bought. Since then I have moved them to 5 other PCs and they are the best I've even had. The set up is very easy, they work on any PC through the headphone plug although it is sometimes tricky to decide which cable connects the speakers to each other. The sound can be as loud or quiet as you want. The quality is glorious stereo and it more than rivals any standard Hi-Fi. If you pick Altec Lansing you've picked a winner!... Read review

The Altec Lansing 220 is a quality product.
Review of Altec Lansing 220 PC multimedia speakers by cfbaby7

Advantages: There are many advantages to the Altec Lansing 220. For instance they are very convienent and easy to use.
Disadvantages: I have been using the Altec Lansing 220, for a good six months know. I have not come across any disadvantages.

...The Altec Lansing 220 are a pair of speakers that work together. They are both easy to use and easy to install. The convience of the volume control position is better then any. No more searching for the volume control on your desktop. Just reach out and turn it. The convience of head phones is also incredible. You can plug you headphones into the side of the speaker instead of having to reach to the back of your computer. It's all right there is arms reach. The Altec Lansing 220 speakers are small and packed with sound. They are very affordable and I would recomend them to anyone who is looking for sound at a good price. If you are someone who likes to watch movies or listen to music from your computer then these speakers are made for you.... Read review
