These just sound right.Jan 18, 2009
By S. Payne Purchased these on impulse for my wife's notebook. They sound excellent. I like having separate treble and bass adjustments on the satellite speaker; wish the power button was there too instead of on the sub-woofer. Satellites are large enough to produce pleasing mid-range tones that are often neglected on PC speakers.
I'd buy another set of these before either of the logitechs I've purchased over the last year for my PC or the kids'... (x-240 or z-2300)

mediocre for musicMay 15, 2009
By max m I had to replace my old Altec Lansing acs45 because the cable/plug broke and [I thought] wasn't worth repairing. The acs45 was such a great 2.1 system, so I thought I'll stick with AltecLansing and ordered the vs2521.
I use a speaker system only to listen to music, no gaming etc..
What I liked: plenty of power, bright high tones, kind of stylish.
What I didn't like: overwhelming sub woofer (hard to adjust to reasonable levels), very poor mid-tones, awkward wiring and on/off switch.
NOTE: the acs45 10-year old speakers were MUCH better than these! Ironic. Couldn't Altec just use the same circuitry in a new shell?
I returned these speakers mainly because of the poor midtone range.
I guess I'll have to spend about twice as much or even more if I want better music playback quality.

Be Careful When HandlingMar 20, 2009
By J. Cox Jr. I purchased these speakers based on Amazon reviews. For the money and free shipping they are worth it even with some short comings. Treble is not very good, but the Bass is very good. Wires could have been more lengthy for better separation. Even though these are for the computer, you still need separation for better sound as I do not like my speakers right next to one another. The pisser for me was that they incorporated the speaker for the Sub Woofer on the bottom with no grill or cover and I almost put my finger right through it when I picked it up, so "Be Careful When Handling". Also there are no info sheets other than warranty info, so I give it a 4.

Excellent Computer SpeakerOct 09, 2008
By Jeremy A. Santos Altec Lansing makes excellent computer speakers. The VS2521 2.1 computer speakers with powered subwoofer delivered what I need in my PC speaker. Excellent bass sound, very solid, excellent treble and tweeter sounds that compliment the subwoofer's very solid bass sound. It is outstanding. I am very satisfied with my VS2521 2.1 computer speakers with powered subwoofer. I would definitely recommend this speaker to my friends.

terrific soundMar 13, 2009
By Lulu Moretti We wanted speakers to work off our family room's laptop so we could listen to Pandora.com in the public end of the house. The space to fill is large and includes the kitchen and dining room - we didn't want just LOUD, we wanted good sound, good fidelity. When we hooked the unit up and turned it on we totally could not believe our ears! For about 20% of what we spent for our big stereo speakers alone, we got terrific sound. We're primarily jazz listeners, but enjoy other genres as well. Instrumentals? Voice? Perfect in every way. At Christmas, the English choral music was heavenly. (It's plenty loud - we've never turned it up to 11.)
