Altec Lansing BXR1220 review: Altec Lansing BXR1220

Altec Lansing BXR1220

Decent sound quality for the price; light, compact design fits in small spaces; USB power eliminates travel clutter.

Speakers don't grab audio from USB port; fixed angle; hardwired cords; no option for battery power.

The Altec Lansing BXR1220 computer speakers deliver solid audio quality for the price and are sure to satisfy shoppers who don't have the luxury of desk space or open power outlets.

Altec Lansing MX6021 Expressionist Ultra Review

Crisp and clear bass, Treble speakers with a tweeter for higher frequencies, Good control device

Unwanted static noise, Excessively large subwoofer, Somewhat expensive ($199.95 on Altec’s website)

Altec Lansing BXR 1220 USB Powered Speakers

Surprisingly good bass. Interesting styling. Good build quality.

Somewhat coloured sound. Have to take care with volume control.

The Altec Lansing BXR 1220 USB powered speakers produce surprisingly full sound at a reasonable price.

Altec Lansing BXR1220: Laptop Speakers

Portability may not be one of its strong points

Loud, build, volume control, USB powered (no battery), power ON LED

Uses up a USB port & drains power from laptop, extra stereo cable, poor portability, cracks past 40 percent volume levels, volume balance is off

Happy Buyer

The shipping from DirectTronics was very fast and got here with no damage.Be aware the stands are not silver.They are black.Not a big deal for me so I still give 5 eggs. Thanks Newegg.

These speakers make my HP Elite laptop sound much better.They look well made with plenty of cable.Worth the price.

Sound Advice

Cost effective pricing and space friendly design. Great for a laptop or desktop use. Easily portable for the laptop and good sound for a more permanent installation for the desktop also

For the price and design there is nothing to complain about
