Product Description

Built-in laptop speakers are pretty underwhelming and that's just a fact of life. Sure, they're good for a beep here and ping there, but if you've ever tried to share your favorite song, watch a movie, or make a multimedia presentation using your laptop speakers, you know exactly what we mean. Introducing the Altec Lansing XT1 system. In addition to its thin, innovative design with removable stands, the XT1 delivers superb sound and surprisingly deep bass thanks to four full-range neodymium micro drivers and bass enhancement technology. And just like your laptop, the XT1 knows how to travel light. Because it's USB-powered, there's no need for a power supply and no batteries to forget. Plug it into your USB port, press play, and you'll be listening to the best portable sound you've ever heard from a laptop. Pack it up in its deluxe carrying case, and you're ready for your next trip. Auxiliary Input Jack - Connect two different audio sources - your laptop and MP3 jukebox for example - at the same time.

From the Manufacturer
It's a fact of life that built-in laptop speakers are pretty underwhelming. Sure, they're good for a beep here and a ping there, but if you've ever tried to share your favorite song, watch a movie, or make a multimedia presentation using your laptop speakers, you're familiar with the problem. Enter the Altec Lansing XT1 speaker system, with a thin, innovative design that delivers superb audio and surprisingly deep bass thanks to its four full-range neodymium micro drivers and bass enhancement technology. Each of the two flat-panel, magnetically shielded satellites features a removable stand, making it extremely portable, especially when combined with the deluxe carrying case for on-the-go applications. And because the system is USB powered, listeners don't need to bring along a power supply or batteries. Simply plug it into your USB port and press play, and you'll enjoy the best portable sound you've ever heard from a laptop. The stands fit conveniently inside the carrying case, which includes an extra mesh pocket for the retractable USB cord and other laptop necessities. The speakers also come with built-in power and volume controls and feature an auxiliary input jack for connecting an additional audio source, such as a portable MP3 player.

Customer Reviews

Crap Speakers just as bad as MacBook Pro's Crap Speakers
These external speakers were supposed to make watching movies on my MacBook Pro sans earphones more bearable. The middle-range volume coming out of these speakers barely rose above the MBP's own speakers! So I turn it up louder and what happens? Crackling. I really wish these had worked out for me. They even matched my laptop! :(

Great Speakers
These speakers are the best I've seen for a laptop. I like the carry case easy for transport and durable and the sound quality of the sound is better than my TV. It is the perfect solution when you are presenting on the road and need to set up your laptop in a small or large space

Fantastic
These speakers are easy to use. The sound is amazing especially considering the low (3 watts) power consumption. They are powered solely off of USB chord so they don't even need to be plugged into the wall which is great! Good clarity and range from my mid-technical analysis. The carrying case is also substantial - a real organizational plus! All around, I am very satisfied.
