Altec Lansing XA2021 Powered Speaker System for Gamers
The sound tracks in today's video games are simply amazing. Unfortunately, your TV's speakers are amazingly lame. It's time to upgrade to a sound system that brings your favorite games to life - the XA2021. Two 3" satellite drivers let you hear every screech, crash or laser blast with incredible clarity, while the 5.25" long-throw woofer ensures you'll feel every smash, bump and thump. The same is true for action movies and DVDs. For more realistic and intense video gaming and movies, you can't go wrong with this system.

I bought the XA 2021 speakers to replace a set of cheap speakers I got at Wal-Mart. I was originally looking for a 5.1 speaker system, but when I saw these, I chose them instead. It was a good choice! The sound is clear and the bass is powerful. Even though they are designed for gaming, I found them good for music (mostly rock) and movies (like The Mask Of Zorro). It was phenomenal! The sound came out well, especially explosions. The bass sounds best when the subwoofer is on the floor, so I have to be careful not to kick it when I sit at my computer! All and all I'd say this was a good choice!

Perfect for what I needed!
rating: 5
I don't have an elaborate game room setup but I needed something that would be an upgrade over using the TV speakers but yet it couldn't require the volume having to be up too high in order to hear the quality. For the price and based on the other reviews I decided to give these a try. They are awesome! My kids play games like Guitar Hero and Medal of Honor and instantly commented on the quality, especially the base. In the end it fit my needs perfectly.

Great Speakers, Great Price
rating: 5
The speakers were on sale and I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. Comes with two satellite speakers that can be wall mounted and a subwoofer.
Pros:
Great for gaming consoles as it hooks directly into your Xbox, Playstation, Gameboy, and PC. The subwoofer has amazing base and gives you that umph that's needed when playing games. An added bonus to this was the fact that it comes with an auxiliary cable that can be hooked up to your ipod, walkman, or any other device that uses headphones. Hooked straight into my powerbook and played my music with a whole lotta bump. I watched Blackhawk Down on my Xbox and was amazed at the sound clarity. I also hooked it into my ipod Nano and was listening to great music when cranked to full blast. Figured out that I had a jack for headphones on my TV and was able to hook it into that as well.
Cons: The length of the satellite speaker wires are too short to mount on far walls for the surround sound feel and the unshielded subwoofer requires you to place it 2 Ft. from TV or monitors.
Overall:
Wouldn't buy for the retail price of $49.99 but definitely well worth the sale price I picked them up for at $19.99. You could probably find them for even less.

Better than expected
rating: 5
I bought these speakers as an upgrade to replace the speakers that were included with my computer system. Of course, I must point out that computer speakers are very lame to say the least. The satellite speakers produce excellent sound quality along with the input of the subwoofer. The subwoofer really makes the difference with this set. I received a $20 rebate, which sweetened the deal. Even without the rebate, I believe you will be very pleased with the quality of the speakers and there performance.
