The Altec Lansing BXR1220 speakers are ideal for users who are not satisfied with their laptop speakers and want some better sound to listen to their favorite music and watch movies on their systems. The speakers are definitely not made for big houses and would sound good in a closet size apartment. The speakers are great for those who are regularly on the go. Without any wires or power outlets, the speakers have a very small dimension and weigh just 2 pounds making them perfect choice for a trip.

There is a 2-inch driver on each speaker which is wrapped in a black tube and mounted at the back of a thin mesh screen. The speakers have great design and look really attractive; however the major area of concern is the functionality of the speakers. The speakers rest on a silver stand that is fixed at a certain angle and users have to increase the height level in order to get a better clarity. Unlike speakers that come with detachable audio cables, these speakers have hardwired USB cord in the right silo.

The speakers come without any AC adapter and hence are very easy to set up. One problem that the users of the speaker may face is the fact that there is no alternative source to power them apart from the USB port. The speakers also have no slot for battery so it is important to have your laptop charged fully when you are on the move. The BXR1220 speakers have the ability to produce stereo harmonies and some great sound and for just $20, it should not be a hard bargain for the users.
