The speakers are an ideal way to improve the sound quality of your laptop's speakers, with no extra power cord to pack when you want great sound on the go.

USB powered and ideally-sizedfor laptop use. .Audio Alignment Technology for Superb Accuracy and AlignmentThe BXR1320 relies on Altec Lansing's proprietary Audio Alignment technology to make sure all of the speakers' components work together to deliver your music the way it is meant to be heard.

Customer Reviews

I wanted USB speakers to avoid the vampire power when not in use. I originally bought HP 2.0 compact speakers which were terrible. No power or volume buttons. So you can only adjust volume using the mouse and the speakers were always on, terrible sound quality, and constant hissing sound.
I bought these instead and the quality is great, good enough for me at least. Dedicated power button and volume button. So you can turn it off when not in use and not draw any power.
PROS
- Great sound and relatively small size
- USB doesn't draw vampire power
- USB powered doesn't occupy an outlet
- Power button to turn off when not in use
- Volume button
CONS
- No port for headphones
- Separate power and volume buttons. So if you leave the volume on high and turn it off, you may get blasted with sound when you turn the power back on. So turn the volume down before turning off.

These speakers sound great and are well worth the inexpensive price. I previously had another well-known brand of laptop speakers that cost a lot more, did not perform nearly as well, required electrical outlet plug in and quickly died (just as other reviewers had warned they would!). I have been very pleasantly surprised by these speakers and with this brand in general. These little laptop speakers provide a much fuller, richer sound than most laptop speakers, are easy to use and very portable. Just plug into a USB port and the computer audio jack. The cords on the speakers are also long enough to place the speakers on the edge of a large desk to direct sound placement as you'd like. I have now purchased several Altec Lansing speaker systems (for iPod, iTouch, etc.) and they all sound amazing for the small size and reasonable prices. Highly recommend this brand.
