Cons: More wires to add to the tangle behind the PC. No headphone jack.

Computer speakers have come as far along in the last 10 years as any other component in the typical PC, so when I stumbled across the ATP3 system, I figured it was about time to upgrade. I don't play games on my PC, nor do I routinely watch movies, but ...

Pros: Volume Bass and Treble Controls, Very stylish look, Great mids and highs, Great deal!
Cons: Lacks Clean Bass, "Volume Knob problem", Not enough power, Downfiring mids

When it comes to the Altec Lansing ATP3, I’ve been left with some rather mixed emotions. First thin ...

Pros: Outstanding sound quality! Unbeatable value. Separate bass & treble, on/off volume controls on the satellite.
Cons: Color may not match your PC... Are you entering your PC in a fashion show??

Before buying this system, I listened to at least a dozen other speakers for less than $100 (includi ...

Pros: Treble and Bass control
Cons: No headphone jack

The Altec Lansing ATP 3 speaker system is probably the best set-up in its price range. The satellites provide nice, clean sound while the sub provides adequate thump. I am somewhat disappointed with the downward facing drivers on the satellites....

Pros: Volume control+adjustment+power control on speaker. Very different look. Period.
Cons: Fair to poor midrange/vocal output. No headphone output on speaker.

I listen to music and play games on my computer on a daily basis. I have been using a pair of Cambridge PCWorks 3piece speaker system which can be purchased for $30. These sound good, but after 3 years, I really wanted bass adjustments and power on/off...

Pros: Great sound, low price, very stylish design. Separate bass, treble & volume controls
Cons: None

I can't imagine that you will find a better sounding satellite system for the price of this system. Since I was burned a couple of times on systems costing twice as much I thought I would give these a shot for around $60 based on the great reviews these...

Pros: Great sound, small, great controls, and cheap for what you are getting
Cons: other then only having one color, none

I have been using my old speakers that came with my old Dell computer which I bought in 1999. After hearing a lot of distortion and not getting high quality sound, I decided to purchase speakers. I went to Circuit City and using there open display...

Pros: excellent sound... I would certainly have paid more for this quality!
Cons: no cons

Since it was difficult to find any buying advice for Mac users regarding these speakers, I was concerned about Mac compatibility. The box in the store said Mac compatible, yet all the pricewatching sites said PC only, and the manufacturer's website said ...

Pros: Convenient bass/volume/treble controls, great sound, slim design
Cons: Subwoofer is bulky

The Altec Lansing ATP3 (3 piece speaker system) is a great buy. Out of all the computer speaker systems I have tested this sounded the best by a longshot. Quality sound and thumping bass made this my top pick for computer speaker systems. Priced modera ...

Pros: Great sound quality and bass
Cons: No headphone input

I picked up my speakers at a local electronics store because they sounded the best of all the speakers I had tested and they weren't quite as expensive as some of the others either.

Upon getting them home I was one happy camper.

...

Pros: Sleek Design, speakers are very compact, nice sound
Cons: No headphone jack, sub is rather large

I bought these speakers to go along with a new HP computer i purchased about a month ago. It comes with speakers already, but i knew that they weren't a great pair. I decided to get the ATP3's because many people suggested them, and Altec Lansing has a...

Pros: Rich sound, great bass, cheap price. Pumps out good volume.
Cons: Not surround or 5.1, treble is somewhat tinny.

The Altec Lansing ATP3 speaker system provides very good powered sound output for an unbeatable price. This product will do very nicely for gaming and listening to MP3. These speakers sound more rich and full, in my opinion, than speakers that cost...

Pros: stylish and compact
Cons: bit of a loud amp

If your on a tight budget and dont really need the head banging experience of more powerful speakers, than these are just the set for you. I had my previous set of speakers die on me and it took a while to get a brand name set of speakers. being on a...

Pros: Beyond the cube styling, good sound for the price, convenient bass and treble controls
Cons: A little over-dominant on the bass, could be crisper, no headphone jack

Not surprisingly, speakers were the first computer accessory to break the beige...

Pros: Affordable, good bass, nice to look at
Cons: When listening to certain music, it gets kinda muddy in the bass.

Ok, so I was looking for some nice speakers w/a subwoofer. Am I happy with what I got? Oh yeah. But first, let me give you what's not so hot.

You can't turn them up all the way, because then the desktop speakers get really garbled with the...
