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 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 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 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

Bargain

Altec Lansing BXR1220 Speakers are very cheap but excellent quality. I bought them after my last PC crashed last month and the new one I bought arrived without any. The speakers are modern, match my system great and the sound quality is good too. Very...

Value for Money

Nice sound. USP is that it does not need a separate power cable and can be powered by a USB

POWERED by USB, but not USB speakers

For the price these are handy little speakers with reasonable sound quality. One thing that's easy to miss about them is that they are not USB speakers, they get their power from a USB port but still require a working sound card to make any noise.
