Customer Review: Big sound from such a small speaker!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Being someone who has bought and trust the Altec Lansing name I was happy to review this item. One of the first items I bought was the Altec Lansing iM207 Orbit-MP3 for iPod and MP3 Players which I use for my iPod Touch. This product is very similar in sound but does not have the same function.
I will admit I was a bit leery of the speaker since it was mono. I already have a cheap but good sounding speaker set in my office where I keep my desktop. I work on my laptop daily for hours and bought my laptop for the harman/kardon built in speakers.
The speaker was very easy to plug in and immediately my (laptop) PC running Vista installed the drivers for it. I like the fact it uses only the USB port for the power supply. I don't have to worry about an extra cord for that. However being a laptop I am only able to place the speaker on the right or left, not both like a normal laptop would be set up. However, I must say the sound is a lot better than I expected! For the size it plays everything like a full set of speakers would! I played some rock music, metal, watched some pop videos, even listened to audio books and I could not hear any distortion at all. Everything played so clearly I had to keep looking at the speaker to make sure it was coming from such a small unit. I am very impressed with the sound. It might be a small speaker but the sound is loud!
I liked that you can control the volume through the speaker dial on your laptop. Make sure it is turned down when you plug it in or you will be blown away as I was when I first plugged it in. There are only two things I do not like about this item. I do not like the fact it cancels your regular speakers while in use. I understand you can only have one or the other but being able to add to your sound would be a bonus. I also was not impressed with the back of the unit and how it stands. I tested it on several surfaces and it wobbles left and right on all. It appears to not be my unit but the way it was designed. For the price point I would want a sturdier stand for it to sit up on.
All in all a lot better than I thought it would be given the size. I don't know if I will have much use for it but if something ever happened to my speakers I know what I am grabbing first!
