Many of you have already used an iPod…or at least heard about it. It is the best selling digital music player in history, with millions of devices sold all over the world. The iPod was launched in 2001 by the famous company Apple, and since then it had a great success. It is a really small and portable music player. But even though it is so small, this doesn’t mean that it can store just a few songs.

Actually it can store hundreds and even thousands of songs, so it is much better than the older CD players (that needed audio CD-s, that had just 10 or 15 songs). There are 4 models of iPods, each one with 2 or 3 generations. They are: the iPod Classic, the iPod Nano (that has video capabilities), the iPod Touch (that has a touchscreen technology) and also the iPod Shuffle (which is the smallest one). Some models are also capable of storing other file types, such as games, videos, mails, documents and so on. But the main purpose of an iPod remains the music playing.

So each model of iPod comes with a set of headphones, which you can use to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing the other people around you. But in case you want to share the sound with your friends, then you must use some iPod travel speakers. These are usually small and portable devices, that have integrated speakers and also a docking place for the iPod. So you just take the iPod and the speaker with you, place the iPod into its place, and enjoy the music.

There are many models of iPod speakers, offered by many producers and today we are going to discuss about one of them, the  Altec Lansing iM 9 portable audio system. It has a price of 200 dollars and it will offer you quite a good sound for your iPod. With a weight of just 4 lbs it is easy to carry and you can take it anywhere you go. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a carrying case, but you can place it in your backpack or luggage.

It has a simple black design and it works with a power cord or with four C batteries. You can use it with your iPod, but you can also connect it to a CD or MP3 player, thanks to its AUX IN input. The sound offered will have a high quality and also a high volume and the device is also shock resistant in case you drop it while you are on the road. Most of the users that bought this speaker were really happy with it, and that’s why the overall rating is 4.3 out of 5 stars. And other professional sites that reviewed this speaker were also very pleased with it, giving the perfect score: 5 out of 5 stars.

As you may already know, the iPod is a very small and lightweight digital music player. It is so small that you can even forget that you have it in your pocket. But being so small, does not mean it can store just a few songs. Actually the iPods have a much better memory than an old CD player, and you can store hundreds of songs on an iPod. Usually any iPod has a set of headphones  which you can use to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing the others around you.

But sometimes you may want to share the music with others…for example when being at a picnic or at a party. So that’s why you must have an iPod dock. An iPod is usually a small device (with the look of a classical stereo player or radio) that has 2 or more integrated speakers, and also a docking place for the iPod.

Like we said before, there are many producers making iPod docks, but today we are going to talk about some Altec Lansing iPod speakers. Altec Lansing is offering many models, and one of them is the T 612. Usually the iPod docks are not that powerful, but this one has quite a good total power of 60 watts RMS (and a peak power of 120 watts). So you can easily use this one for outdoor activities, and even for a party. You can also connect an iPhone to this speaker, and even when the iPhone is ringing it won’t interfere with the speaker, because it is magnetically shielded. The Altec Lansing iPod speaker also comes with a very useful remote control, that will allow you to change the volume and the tracks from distance. So after all it will give quite a nice and powerful sound with quite a good bass too.

There are many other models, but for today we’ll discuss just one more. We’ll take the inMotion iM3C speaker. This one also has quite a nice design, a good sound and also a good bass, due to its Maxx Bass technology. It is compatible with most of the iPod models, and it also comes with a useful remote control. It requires 4 batteries and has a continuous playing time of 24 hours. It has dimensions of 8 inch W x 1.1 inch D x 5.5 inch H, so it’s not that big. It is not compatible just with the iPod, and you can also connect it to other music sources such as  a computer, a laptop, a CD or an MP3 player.

Any iPod comes with a set of headphones, so you can enjoy the sound alone, without disturbing the people around you. But many people wanted to share the music from their iPod with others, so this way the iPod speakers appeared. These are some kind of devices where you can dock your iPod and it will give the music through its integrated speakers. When playing the music, this device will also charge it.

We’ll pick just some of the many models of Altec Lansing ipod speakers, leaving you to discover the rest and share your opinions with us. A very cool looking model is the one simply called “MIX”. But this one doesn’t just look good, it also sounds very nice. It has both tweeters and mid range drivers, and also a side firing subwoofer meaning that it will give a rich sound through all the sound ranges. You will have quite a good bass and some nice high frequency sounds, making this speaker great for a picnic or outdoor activity, and even for a party. All the drivers, enclosures and electronics are balanced for an optimum sound. Not only that you can connect up to three audio devices to it, but you can also use it as a radio device. It has onboard controls and a high contrast LCD to let you see and control the music that’s playing. But when you are at a party, or a picnic, you might also want to change the song or the volumes from distance and this is possible with the MIX station because it comes with a wireless remote control.

Now let’s move on to the next iPod speaker from Altec Lansing, and we’ll choose the inMotion iM3C model. This one is also a small and good looking device, which will also sound good. It’s compatible with all the iPod models, and will also charge your iPod while playing music. Even though this one does not have a subwoofer, it has the MaxxBass technology that will create a good bass, making this speaker sound much better. This one also has a remote control, allowing you to have total control even from distance. This device will require less batteries than the previous one (only 4) but will also last for a less time ( 24 hours continuous playing). It doesn’t have a carrying handle, but it includes a protective carry bag, making it easy to be carried around. Beside iPod, you can also connect this speaker to a computer, laptop, mp3 player, or other devices compatible with a 3.5 mm jack. It has 8 inch wide x 1.1 inch depth x 5.5 inch high and weighs just 15 ounces.

So these were just 3, but there is a total of 11 iPod speakers models from Altec Lansing. So just visit the official site of the company to find more information about each one. And if you are already using one of these models, please share your opinions with us, no matter if they are positive or negative.

There are many audio producers to choose from, and one of the biggest and famous is Altec Lansing. The company has a great history and experience so you know that its products have a good quality. It is one of the oldest in this domain, and was founded back in the 1920’s. Through the years the company brought many inventions and innovations to the audio market and it  expanded all over the world. Today it is producing all kinds of speakers from computer speakers to headphones or iPod speakers.

Today we are going to talk about one of its products, the Altec Lansing VS 4121 blk computer speakers. These are pretty nice looking speakers with a simple and compact design but also with a good performance.

As you can notice there are 2 speakers and  a subwoofer, this means it is a 2.1 audio system. The tweeters included in the stereo speakers will brink crisp and clear highs while the midrange drivers will bring the middle frequencies and will disperse the sound around the whole room. The sound range will be completed by the subwoofer which gives a deep and powerful bass, making your music sound like in a club, or your movies sound like in the cinema. This versatile and compact system fits anywhere and sounds great everywhere.

Now let’s talk about some of the technical specifications for this system. The sound pressure level is 97 dB and the total power is 31 watts RMS. Well this is not something that will rock your room and disturb your neighbors but it is pretty good for a small room or office. The power is divided into 6 watts for each satellite speaker and 19 watts for the subwoofer. The frequency response for the system is between 25 hz and 15.000 hz which is pretty good for a small system like this.  The signal to noise ratio is > 73 dB and here are the dimensions: a satellite speaker has 4 inches width, 4.7 inches in depth and 9.2 inches in height and the subwoofer has 8 inches width, 9.9 inches depth and 13.6 inches in height.

If you are wondering what is that small and thin component, well that is the control unit. It’s much easier to have a component like this instead of having the control buttons on the subwoofer. The subwoofer usually stays under the desk (to have the best quality of the bass), and it can be difficult for you to reach under the desk each time you want to change the volumes. But with this control unit it is much easier, and you can place it wherever you want, so it can be easy to access. It features the overall volume button, the on and off power button and also the volumes for the bass and treble.

The two satellite speakers are also magnetically shielded, so they can be easily placed near a monitor or TV, without interfering with them. The system also has a headphones jack , for the times when you want to enjoy your music in privacy, without disturbing the others around you. The cables are each colored in a different way, to make the installation as easy as possible.

If you are wondering what the others users are saying, well you should know that they were pretty happy of this product, and the average rating is 4 stars out of 5.

We forgot to mention the price for this system. Well it is somewhere around 70 dollars, and this is not quit expensive. So after all it is a good audio system which will worth its money. Enjoy!

These kind of speakers are usually very small, and light weighted, so that you can carry them with you anywhere you go. They also don’t have a lot of cables like the regular speakers, they have just one cable. This is used both for the audio signal and for power. So the speakers are getting energy from the laptop, that means they won’t need batteries or a mesh to be plugged in. You wont have any problems when installing or connecting them, because there is just one place where you can connect them : into the USB port. That means you wont have color codes to be careful of, or other stuff like that (problems which you can have when installing a surround sound system). They don’t need any software, because they will be automatically recognizes due to the “plug n’ play” tool from your computer. So just plug them into the USB port, and enjoy your music wherever you want. They can be used by students who are traveling a lot with their laptops, or by a business man who has many conferences in different places.

Some people may consider that it is best to get some headphones for your laptop. Yes that is true…the headphones will give you a better quality of sound, but this can only be enjoyed by yourself. So the portable speakers are recommended for the times when you want to share your music or movies with friends, family or other people (for example other business men at a conference). It is up to you to decide which is the best solution for your laptop.

Now we’ll talk more about some portable computer speakers. We’ll begin with the Sound Bite Xtreme Black USB speaker. It is very small and compact, and also the price is affordable (35 dollars). The dimensions for this speaker are just 4.73 ” x 4.73 ” x 1.78 “, and it has included 2 small satellites and one little woofer, all in the same unit. That means it will give a pretty nice and deep bass, which is quite unusual for this class of speakers. Just plug it in the USB port, and enjoy, no need for installation. It also has a 3.5 mm jack that allows It to be connected to an MP3 player. It also features a carrying pouch and a volume control unit. The volume can go pretty loud, without too much distortion of sound. Like we said before these kind of speakers have just one cable, and the cable for this speaker has about one feet. So you will have to use it close to your laptop, but if you want a bigger distance, you can buy a USB extender cable. After the sound quality  and the great portability, makes it a good speaker that worths its money.

If you are looking for some stereo portable speakers, made out of  2 pieces, you can choose the Creative Labs N 400. They are more complex than the “one piece” speakers, so the price is also bigger (70 dollars). They feature the Xtreme Fidelity technology which will make them sound good and balanced. Also due to this technology the sound will not seem just like a regular stereo sound, it will seem like the sound from a surround system. The dimensions for one speaker are 1.8 x 2.9 x 6.8 inches with a weight of 2 pounds. With the speakers you will also get a travel case. That means you will be able to easily carry them with you, and to enjoy your music wherever you are, at a good quality, a much better quality than the one from you integrated laptop speakers.

Some other portable computer speakers that are coming in 2 pieces are the Logitech Z5 Omnidirectional USB 2.0 speakers. As you can notice in the image, or in the name, they have a special design which will bring you the sound in all the directions. The price is pretty good – 30 dollars, and they also feature a remote control with volume control, play / pause / forward / back controls and also the on / off button.

The last set of portable speakers which we’ll talk about today are the XT2 speakers from Altec Lansing. The official price is 150 dollars, but if you search you will be able to find them much more cheaper in the internet. They a cool and powerful sound, and they also have an integrated microphone. This is a feature that just a few portable speakers have. So that means you will be able to talk with your friends over the internet, or use them in a conference to communicate with your business partners. They also have a cool design, so they will worth the money. Enjoy!

It is among the biggest producers in the whole world, and also the oldest. It has a big history behind which begins from the 1920’s. It was founded when two audio equipment producers joined forces : The Aletec Corporation and Lansing Manufacturing Company. It is building good quality speakers for more than 80 years now, so you can be sure that you will be satisfied with a Altec Lansing product. Either if you are interested in computer speakers, home cinema systems, iPhone and iPod speakers or headphones you can find all of them in the company’s offer. It has expanded all over the world so you will find Altec Lansing factories or stores in many big cities from different countries, or you can buy it’s products directly on the Internet.

One of the most famous and demanded products of the company is the Altec Lansing 251 5.1 Surround Sound computer speaker. It is a versatile audio system made especially for a great gaming experience. If you are a big fan of gaming, and you are using some classic stereo speakers, there are many sensations that you will miss. For example the feeling of bullets flying by your head, a bird singing in front of you or an enemy monster attacking you from behind. The games today are really complex and they come with an advanced surround sound. So what is the point of buying a new and expensive game, if you can’t take full advantage of it’s great sounds. That’s why you must have a 5.1 speaker system and an appropriate sound card.

As you may know there are three kind of audio systems, based on the number of speakers they have. First there are the 2.1 systems which have 2 small speakers and a satellite, the 5.1 systems (4 satellites, a centre speaker and a subwoofer) and 7.1 systems with 7 speakers and a subwoofer. The most common among the users, is the one situated in the middle, that is the 5.1 system. The Altec Lansing 251 is also a system of this kind and it features 4 satellites, a centre channel which in this case has the same size as the satellites, and a small but powerful subwoofer.

If you are interested in the technical specifications, here they are:

-         Total System Power: 90 Watts (45 Watts RMS)

-         60 Watts Total Continuous Power RMS (2 x 6.5 W / Front; 2 x 7.2 W / Rear; 7.6 W / Center; 25 W / Sub)

-         Frequency Response: 35 Hz – 18 kHz

-         Signal to Noise Ratio @ 1 kHz input: > 70 dB

-         Crossover Frequency: 150 Hz

-         System THD (distortion): < 0.5 % THD at - 10 dB full-scale input voltage

-         Input Impedance: > 10 k ohms.

Included in the box you will also have a phono adaptor, which will be helpful to connect the speakers to certain devices.

One of the best features for the Altec Lansing 251 computer speaker system is its subwoofer, that will never let you down during a game , a movie  or when playing loud music. Even if it seems small, it will bring 25 W of power directly at your feet. We say “at your feet” because it is recommended that you place the subwoofer under your desk. You must be really careful with the volume of the bass. Even though to you it may seem quiet, it can disturb and annoy your neighbors by making their windows vibrate when you are playing a powerful clubbing track. On the back of the subwoofer you will find the satellite speakers connector hub, the subwoofer volume control knob and the 6 channel/2-4 channel selector switch.

All the 6 speakers have a boxy shape, and they can be easily placed on a flat surface. But they also have some supplied stands which allow you to angle them slightly upwards, so the sound will go straight to your ears. The front right speaker has all the controls you need included. First there is the headphones jack, the volume controls for the center speaker, surround and master volume and finally the on / off switch button, with a green LED that indicates when the system is turned on.

All the other small speakers are stamped on the back with inscriptions like “center”, “left front”, “right rear” and so on, and this way you will be sure that you will have the correct placement of each speaker. Let’s say that in a game someone will attack you from your behind, but if you have the rear speakers placed in front of you, you won’t get the appropriate feeling.

The installation of the system is quite simple. First of all you must connect the power cable, because without electricity nothing can happen But of course you can do this last, but make sure you do it. After that you must connect the cable that connects the set to your soundcard, and you’ll have just to respect the color coding. And finally you must connect all the speakers to the subwoofer. There is no place for mistakes, because each connector has its own color and shape, so you can’t place it in the wrong jack.

After installing the system, and the appropriate drivers, all you have to do is enjoy the sound quality! The only thing you may not like at this system is the fact that it’s made especially for games and will not bring you the best audio quality when listening to loud music. But if you are a  true gamer, you will love it! Especially that it comes at a very low price (somewhere around 100 american dollars). At this small price, what can you ask for more? It will bring you good music quality and great gaming and movie experience. The sound is clear and the bass is really powerful. After all, you will love it, and your neighbors will hate it!

The company’s products offer is very diversified from computer speakers, audio systems, iPod speakers and also headphones. One of the Altec Lansing multimedia computer speaker system is the VS 2621. It comes in a cool design which is just as powerful as the sound you will hear.

It is a 2.1 system, so that means it has a subwoofer and two other small speakers. It is build for computers or MP3 players, and it was design in a specific way to bring you good sound quality at a lower price. The speakers have an unique design and the orientation of the speakers is slightly upwards, so it can bring all the sound towards your ears. Because of its small sizes it is ideal for a crowded office or a small room at home. The controls are easy to access and to use, and you can change the overall volume or the tone volume. It also has a secondary jack, so you can connect your CD or MP3 player while it is still linked to the computer.

The subwoofer is slightly bigger than the speakers, but not as big as other subwoofers and it will bring you a deep bass, without using a lot of space. You can place it wherever you want, but it is recommended to put it in a corner under your desk, to get the best sensations when listening to music or watching  a movie.

If you are interested in the technical details of this system you should know that it has a total power of 28 watts RMS, which are divided into 7.5 watts for each satellite and 13 watts for the subwoofer. It has a system response of 45-18 Hz and the satellites dimensions are this: 130 mm (W) x 120 mm (D) x 131 mm (H). And here are the sizes for the subwoofer : 125 mm (W) x 262 mm (D) x 224 mm (H) .   After all it’s a small but nice audio system, which comes on a low price, and it is just perfect for a small room, or for someone who is not interested in playing music really loud.

Another Altec Lansing multimedia computer speaker system is the “expressionist PLUS”. It is a very unique and interesting music system, with an interesting design and a good sound quality. It is composed of two adjustable satellites which deliver pure full-spectrum sounds, and a small but powerful subwoofer which lets you save space under or on your desktop, and which brings a deep and cool bass. You can connect it to your computer, DVD, CD or MP3 player because of its AUX in Jack. As we said the speakers are adjustable, so you can direct the sound directly to your ears, and the built-in controls are very easy to use. An interesting thing is positioning of the on / off button, which is exactly on top of the subwoofer.

The power of this system is even bigger than of the VS 2621, because it has a total power of 33 watts RMS. Each speaker has 4 watts, and the subwoofer has 25 watts. So this is also a good system for a small apartment room.

Another cool 2.1 audio system from Altec Lansing is the VS 4121 BLK.

As you can see in the picture, it has a simple and compact design, but it will bring you a good sound performance. It has special compartments for all the three sound ranges, and it will  bring you cool high sounds (such as the actors voices in a movie or the singers in a concert) and will also make you feel shakes and quakes whenever the bass takes over, for example in a action movie or a clubbing track. It looks good, and because of its small dimensions it fits almost anywhere. It has built-in controls for the bass and treble, headphone jack, and color-coded cables to make the installation easy for you. The technical specifications are pretty close to the other audio system offered by Altec Lansing. The VS 4121 BLK has 31 watts RMS (6 for each channel and 19 watts for the subwoofer). The system response is 25-15 khz and the dimensions for the satellites are: 4″ (W) X 4.7″ (D) X 9.2″ (H) . If you want to know the sizes of the woofer, it has 8 inches in width , 10 inches in depth  and 13.6 inches in height.

As a conclusion, Altec Lansing is offering its customers some good quality computer speaker systems, which are not too powerful but can bring you a good audio experience for a small room or office.
