    Strengths: Satellite Speakers sound good. Wired remote for volume and bass control is a nice feature.

    Weaknesses:Audible hiss in Sub-woofer even when the power is off to the main speakers.

    Overall Evaluation: Improprer shielding and the Sub-woof hiss render this product unusable. I receive very clearly a distant radio station and must unplug the speakers to stop the static noise. I contacted Altec Lansing regarding this problem and received no response. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

    Strengths: subwoofer

    Weaknesses:everything else

    Overall Evaluation: i bought this speaker set at walmart and when i took it home the satellites were picking up christmas songs off the radio. so when i would watch movies if i don't crank the volume loud enough i would hear interference. i paid 50 bucks for it and i really don't think it's worth the money. the only thing good about it is its strong subwoofer but the satellites sound like any other speakers. thank god walmart has a good return policy so i brought it back and shopped online. i found a nice set by cyber acoustics for 22.99!! it even had a stronger output (68 watts) while the altec lansing was only 30 watts. since i got them there's no more interference.

    Strengths: Good sound quality for a decent price.

    Weaknesses:Soft hissing noise when not in use. Also makes noise when a cell phone rings in the immediate area.

    Overall Evaluation: I'm pretty satisfied with these speakers. However, you should know that I don't use these for anything heavy duty?mainly just music and the occasional gaming. The sub is pretty decent and the sound quality is fine for the purchase price (I got these speakers for ~$20 after rebate). My only problem with these speakers is that when they?re not in use they make a soft hissing noise. You can barely tell it's there if it?s in a room with some ambient noise, but if you put your ear next to it you can definitely hear it. This will happen as long as it?s plugged in. Also, if a cell phone rings in the immediate area, the speakers will make a specific interference type noise. This is great if you preemptively want to know if your phone is going to ring, but if you really like to listen to your music and such undisturbed, then these speakers are probably not for you. I don?t mind these drawbacks, so I?m content with this purchase.

    Strengths: Inexpensive

    Weaknesses:Not high quality

    Overall Evaluation: It's a very good unit for my old-fashioned TV. It's a good addition for it. The sound quality is not very good to be used on my PC. I can't compalin too much since it's a cheap system.

    Strengths: The speakers seem to have very good fit & finish.

    Weaknesses:When you plug in the speakers, you'll hear a loud hissing noise which can be heard across the room.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this item during the Thanksgiving sale for a discounted price of $19.94 after rebate. I was initially very happy about it, but once I installed it in my room, I just realized I got what I paid for.
