Altec Lansing ADA 305 2 Speakers

Pros: Great Sound; Easy and Intuitive to Set Up and Use; Cool Software
Cons: Not True Surround Sound

I was looking for a speaker system for my new computer (this was about 2 years ago) that would sound great when playing games, but more importantly have accurate output when playing music. I think I found the best set for my money with the ADA-305.
...

Pros: Price, great for gaming
Cons: No Headphone jacks, startup sound

Specifications
A 20 watt Subwoofer
2 normal satellite speakers with a 3 inch satellite speaker on top of both of them angled at 45degrees.

The satellite speakers are angled at 45 degrees to create a surround sound effect....

Pros: Relatively cheap, GREAT sound!
Cons: Only mimic surround sound.

I actually have the "ACS495 system". It is Dell's version of the 305s.
These really are great speakers. There are so many higher priced, "better" speakers today....however, if you don't require a true 5 speaker system, this may...

Pros: Pure clean sound and large Subwoofer
Cons: If you don't have a USB port you cannot use this line of speakers

First off, let me just say that ADA305 Digital PowerCube Speaker System is the best pair of speakers that I have ever listened or seen at the price its at. When I purchased the speakers I had no idea what Altec Lansing was and what their products...

Pros: great value and sound
Cons: no windows 2000 drivers

These speakers were a great value for me. I was looking for something that would offer a good sound for music as well as the bass pumping action for my arcade lifestyle. The ADA-305 offer both and for a relativly reasonable price. I paid less than...

Pros: Awesome superior sound quality
Cons: pricey, takes up a little bit of space

I built a computer recently, and with that, I bought a creative labs Live! sound card. I was excited because all my friends agreed that was one the best sound cards out. So when I was looking for some speakers, I wanted a good pair of speakers, you know,...

Pros: Nice sound, powerful for the size, relatively inexpensive
Cons: Can be blown out, no headphone jack, ProLogic may sound tinny

The ADA-305 is quite a set for the price. I picked mine up from a place called Upgrade Souce (www.upgradesource.com). They cost $146 plus shipping; I believe that comes out a little lower than the hyped Buy.com's price. They're quite powerful, too....

Pros: USB connection, Great Sound, Quality, Surround in small package
Cons: Not true digital

My $2000 Stereo system is collecting dust thanks to the Altec Lansing ADA 305's. These babies rock. I play a lot of games, and I was going to opt for some 4 or 5 point surround speakers, but like many people, I didn't want the hassle of trying to locate...

Pros: True Digital Audio, Great Software, Sound Clarity even at high volume levels, price
Cons: have no complaints

After I blew out the original speakers that came with my computer, I needed a replacement. I couldn't stand the fuzz, and to make the problem worse, it was hard to turn the old speakers on due to the rubber tips on the volume adjuster. My friend told...

Pros: Good looks & great sound from an affordable set of speaker
Cons: Controls are not very user friendly and USB is only there for marketing purposes.

The Altec Lansing ADA-305 speakers were my final choice from a long list of speakers I had looked at. I went with Altec Lansing because I really liked the way their products looked & felt in the stores. They had a certain quality about them. I didn't...

Pros: Incredible sound quality
Cons: No controls for bass or treble adjustment

These speakers are incredible, really. The clarity is incredible, and the power is more than ample. If you are looking for a pair of kick-ass speakers for your computer, the ADA 305 will do just fine. But of greater interest are the special features...

Pros: overall good quality, great value, USB-software controls
Cons: Weak in the deeper range of notes, chance of driver conflicts

Well, these speakers have been out on the market for quite a while now. I know this, because I bought these same speakers the very day they were in the stores. Had been hearing great things about them, and wanted to find out myself. I have to say, I...

Pros: Excellent bass
Cons: lack of head phone jack

I bought my altec 305's though my computer company Cyber Power from Cal. I purchased these as an upgrade from the standards as Cyber Power gave me a list of 5 different speaker upgrades . I chose the 305's which were one notch below the most expensive...

Pros: Sound quality, bass
Cons: lots of wires to hook up.

I recently ordered my computer, and had many types of speakers to choose from, however I chose the Altec Lansing ADA 305's. They have two speakers and on subwoofer. The bass is great, and the speakers give great sound in the surround sound mode. The...

Pros: great sound for music and dvd
Cons: none

I was searching a long time for some really good quality speakers that would accompany my Sony Subwoofer and I found out the best item was Altec Lansing ADA305. If you dont have a USB connection dont get these speakers because you can not use all the...

Pros: USB is cool idea.
Cons: USB support is nonexistant outside of win98, sound is mediocre at best

The USB feature is nice, but driver support is only for Win98 which is pointless since few people still use 98. Support for 2000 and XP would be nice. For $100 or so more you could get a great sounding set of true surround speakers. These speakers are...

Pros: Quality, ease of use, style, size.
Cons: Non really, although I wish it included a remote.

I purshased these about 6 months ago, and have experienced nothing but pure pleasure from them. The sound quality is exceptional and full.

I use them mainly for playing music (mp3) & DVDs. Short of inviting your favorite artists to your...
