Review of Altec Lansing IM600

Altec Lansing UHP 306

Advantages: Great sound quality, strong cord, carry case
Disadvantages: Price

...After my Sennheiser CX 300's snapped a friend gave me his Altec Lansings. At first they did take some getting used to as they are bigger than the CX 300s, I would prefer them slightly smaller. Background noise isn't a problem but initially you may find the silicone tips take a bit of wiggling about to get them to fit exactly if you want them to block out all background noise. You'll get used to the positioning very quickly so it won't be a problem for long. The noise isolation level is 16dB which as far as I'm aware is more than those of the CX 300 which I think is around 12dB. If you need more than 16dB there's also a Professional set which have a noise isolation level of 26dB and generally higher spec. The cable is a cloth cable making the durability greater. The earphones also come with a pouch to store them in and several sets...

Review of Altec Lansing UHP 306

iPod speakers

Advantages: Portable and lightweight
Disadvantages: You have to be very careful with them.

...the instructions don't tell you and if you put it in the wrong way it gets stuck in there! 5) A major design fault is the fact that when the speakers are charged via the batteries or mains supply it constantly charges your iPod and there is no auto-turn off to stop it doing this! I have found the more that my iPod is charged the quicker it runs out of batteries so I find this very annoying and unhelpful. Customer Service I can fault the design of the speakers but I cannot fault the customer service team at Altec Lansing. Every time I have rang the company they have been very polite and helpful to somebody who is on their fourth set of speakers and I have not had to wait hours in a queue listening to music with the occasional "please hold". Another plus is the fact that the call centre is not based in India and so you a helped by an experienced...

Altec Lansign 5100 5.1 speaker system

Advantages: Light weight, Compact design, Stylish, Amazing sound quality
Disadvantages: Power cable could be longer as well as the controller cable

...of metal and plastic, and doesn't look or fell tacky or cheap. There are 5 speakers in total, one of which is the centre speaker. This is much more powerful and louder then the satellite speakers, 22 watts instead of 7, is best posited right in front of you. There is also a subwoofer, which is pretty impressive for its size. The sub provides amazing bass and low frequency sound that can cause the floor to shake. There is also a controller that allows you to changes the volume level, bass/centre, treble/rear and what mode the system is in Stereo x2, 4.1 Gamming or 5.1 sound. I mostly use always use it in 5.1 sound mode or Stereo when I'm using my headset. The sound quality is very good; it's sharp and crisp. There is no distortion when played loud either. When using the speakers you have to take into consideration the subwoofer. At home in...

Review of Altec Lansing 5100

Surprisingly accurate amp/speaker combination

Advantages: Great sound, transparent and dynamic , extended bass, plays quite loud, classy looks
Disadvantages: Sensitive to room placement, a little hum and hiss.

...going to be how they are positioned in use. With the satellites set up either side of a TV and the bass box stuffed in the corner behind, the sound wasn?t as impressive. Bass drone affected most areas of our smallish listening room. This is not a criticism of the speaker system but more to do with inevitable room interactions. Good speakers with a wide frequency range are significantly affected by room placement. For example, if you want a pair of top-end loudspeakers to sound like a budget set, just stuff them into corners a metre apart - job done. I don?t think these speakers will be at their best as PC speakers. Sitting less than a metre away from the satellites is not enough for the sound to really integrate as it can. I think they?re better suited to TV and music systems where the listener sits some distance away. Site the bass box away...

Review of Altec Lansing MX 5021

Superb Speaker System

Advantages: Great sound, great design, easy setup
Disadvantages: Bass can be a little difficult to get just right

...--What made me choose these?-- Quite simply it was the look and design of the entire system. I had recently bought a flat panel screen for my PC and the general speakers that came with my computer did not only sound awful, but were beige - not in-keeping with the general design of my room. --Design-- As the look and design of this speaker system was my primary reason for splashing out on these, I thought I better start and explain this. I was able to see this system set up in store before I bought, and I would recommend that if you are thinking of purchasing these you try and see them in their full glory first. They truly are a work of art. You can tell that Altec Lansing have really spent time in designing these speakers. You can always tell the difference between products that have been set a budget and then designed within...

Review of Altec Lansing IM600

Wow. What a boom....

Advantages: Great sound reproduction, clarity
Disadvantages: Speaker out connection.

...When I first came across the "2 speakers and sub" combination audio set ups for Computers, I figured it to be major overkill for the sound required. That was before I realised what a difference great sound makes to gaming and audio playback when enjoying a multimedia experience on your home pc. While the sound reproduction in my little Labtec speakers was very good, the Altec Lansing ACS 305 takes it to a whole new level. To look at, the Altec Lansing ACS 305 is nothing spectacular. Produced in the traditionally matching Beige/grey as seen in most compatible computer equipment, it does blend in well with older PC designs. It comprises of 3 main components. These are a Large Sub and 2 smaller Satellite speakers. The square looking Sub is has a cloth grille on the front that discolours with age and can look untidy if that is...

Altec 5100

Advantages: Clear Crisp Sound (CCS) and Ultra Stylish
Disadvantages: Cable is too short

...Morning, Evening afternoon people, This is a review on The ALTEC 5100 5.1 PC SPEAKERS. I first saw these speakers yesterday (03/07/04) in PcWorld when i was wondering round the store looking at the Gel-Wrist Rest, and the BlueTooth wireless keyboards. I was drawn immediately to the style and compact size of this 5.1 system. My reason for being in the speaker section is that i will being going to mauritius for about 1 month in August. And for entertainment when i am chilling in my house, drinking beer i would like to have a sepaker system which would be loud yet easy enough for me to take abroad and also drag onto our baclony which is 8 x 20 feet in size. I had to choose between the I-Trigue L3500 which are also nice and the altec 5100 set. after spending 20-30mins looking at both sets, i eventually took the altec 5100 set. Even...
