I have had these speakers for some time and they are really great. It gives you very clear audio and deep enough bass. It works great with my HP-dv7 laptop and MP3 player, be it for music, movies or video games. I also have Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers at home, and I would say the Altec Lansing definitely sounds better! In fact, I think they are still the best speakers within its price range of $100. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!

Over all I thought the Altec Lansing VS4121 was an amazing system I use it all the times when I watch movies, listen to music, or even play a Online Game. While playing a game (Battlefield 2) I shoot my 92fs (Silent pistol) I get bass, not too much and not too short. So I would recommend that anyone who read this and was intrested should buy it today it is worth you'r money.

Overall a decent system for 100 bucks. The down-firing mid-range speakers tend to not provide as much sound as I would like. I find them better when positioned either below ear level, as it allows the sound to reflect up to your ears.

I recently purchased the Altec Lansing 4121's and find them to be adequate, but nothing to get excited about. Like every set of computer speakers out there (except the really pricey ones) they are not very balanced. The bass is overpowering, the high end is scratchy and tinny, and the midrange is muffled. Sadly, they are probably the best sounding speakers in their price range, around $100.00. I am able to get decent sound out of them using the itunes equalizer. If you do not have away to equalize the sound, I suggest biting the bullet and spending more money. Overall a decent product, but only because the competition is so poor.

The Altec Lansing VS4121 are a very good set of coumputer speakers, i was thinking of getting Creative I-Trigue L3500 then i came across the Altec Lansing VS4121. I first read the specs and thought these things probably sound rubbish but boy was i wrong they are crystal clear and they have to be one of the best set of 2.1 coumputer speakers out there.
