Lots of power in a small package
Review Date: January 18, 2007
Reviewer: B. Sewell, Atlanta, GA USA
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
IF YOU CAN'T HEAR YOUR LAPTOP SPEAKER GET ONE OF THESE!

SOLVED MY PROBLEM TO A 'T'. WOULD HAVE RATED IT 5 STARS IF THEY SUPPLIED A LITTLE LEG TO SNAP ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FLEX WIRE TO KEEP IT FROM STRESSING THE USB PORT. WOULD HAVE RATED IT 10 STARS HAD THEY PUT AN ON/OFF VOLUME CONTROL ON IT!
Amazing USB powered speaker

The built-in speakers on laptops stink.
This speaker is the first light, portable speaker to give your audio a bigger blast. Plus, the real beauty is it's powered by your computer's USB port. AMAZING - NO WIRES GOING TO A POWER OUTLET. I work in the media business, so i'm constantly screening stuff off my laptop. I bought one, but my clients kept borrowing it - so we decided to give them away this year as a holiday present. One of the best gifts ever! Love this thing.
my favorite Christmas present this year!

Reviewer: Morielle,
I own a 2007 MacBook and ever since I bought it I have been bemoaning the fact that the speakers can't project worth crap. I did buy a pair of standard small speakers for computer or stereo use----the kind you have to also plug into a wall to get power----but was frustrated by how un-portable they were. One day I was browsing around on Amazon and I found these speakers and thought they would be the perfect solution to all my lame-speaker-problems. However, being the poor starving college student that I was, I didn't buy them. This Christmas (after two years of living with my computer's original speakers), I received them as a gift and I cannot believe I lived for so long before without them. They are exactly what I imagined them to be! I should have bought them for myself when I first found them and sacrificed that really cute jacket I wanted to buy instead ;).
The sound quality is very impressive for such small speakers. The fact they plug directly into the USB port is definitely the #1 point in their favor. Obviously, if you are wanting to blast music loud enough for a party, you should probably use larger speakers but for personal laptop use it doesn't get much better than this. Everyone I have shown them to has also been amazed by how well they work. If you have lame speakers and you want to improve the quality of your sound-life, I say don't hesitate and get these now!
Unbelievable!

I was terribly disappointed with the lousy sound on my new laptop. so I searched Amazon for speakers. They arrived today (13 days after I ordered them?), but I believe it was worth the wait. Fabulous! I agree with another reviewer that if you're an audiophile these might not be for you, but I was truly amazed at the difference. Do not hesitate to order if you hate that tinny sound on your laptop.

Designed to complement the iPhone and certified to meet all "Works with iPhone" and "Works with iPhone 3G" requirements, the T612 won't pick up any of the annoying hum that mobile phones often emit, meaning you can leave your iPhone on and not in airplane mode.
The Altec Lansing T612 Speaker:
is specially shielded to complement the iPhone, letting you leave your iPhone on while playing music;
provides full-range sound from deep bass to sterling highs;
fills music throughout the room with 60 Watts of power; and

Big, Full-Bodied Sound Employing four specially engineered drivers (two 3-inch full-range drivers and two silkdome 1-inch tweeters), the T612 offers smooth, rich sound through the full audio spectrum.

The built-in amplification provides 60 Watts of power RMS (120 Watts Peak), enough power to fill an entire room with dynamic music.
No More Mobile Interference Unlike most speaker systems, the T612 is shielded from the noise emitted by mobile phones. The upshot is that you won't miss any phone calls because you don't need to put your iPhone in airplane mode just to listen to your music. When you do receive a call, the T612 will automatically pause the music to ensure that you hear your call.

For 2G Ipod Touch
Review Date: October 21, 2008
Reviewer: Scott, Rochester, NY USA
The current price of 131 is a very good deal. I paid full price for this unit.
Since this does not have a clock or radio, my main purpose of buying this was to get a decent sound on an ipod player. Also, it had to work with 2G Ipod Touch or 3G phone (both charge and play--many unit will play but not charge these new Ipod models).
The choices are few. Some JBLs and Bose (System II), and Polk Audio. I do not know if the more expensive hifi brands work with 2G Touch; I just didn't want to spend 500-600 dollars for an ipod station.
This unit has much more power than the JBLs I tested. The Klipsh units (like IGroove) will not charge IPod touch 2G, although they have excellent sound.
So it came down to Bose SDII vs this unit, which is now less than half the price of the Bose SDII. They are both very good, but this AL unit can get louder with less distortion, and even at lower volumes separates sounds better. I tested both units, using multiple songs/music (classical solo and orchestra; rock; blues; jazz solos and band; folk; acapella like Take6, among others). I'm not sure what to say about people who say the sound is muddled--well, for some recordings this is true, but a modern folk acoustic album, for example, comes out very crisp and alive, or a violin solo, the sound couldn't be more alive. I think I did a fair comparison of these units, and believe the AL unit may be better, and certainly a much better value. The bass/treble control is also quite excellent.
Lots of power in a small package
