I have been using Altec Lansing speaker for my computer for about 6 years already, old model 221 and it still sounds nice, a little bassy IMO. Then, I also own 2 set of headset from AL also, AHS502 and the other one, forget what model already. So far, the headset works with a little faulty on the volume adjuster. Sometimes, I need to readjust it to get both channel works. Any one encounters same problem?

new product from altec. Altec Lansing BXR1220: USB-powered space-saving speaker  Altec Lansing BXR1221: Three-piece system in a convenient space-saving design.  Altec Lansing FX3021 Expressionist PLUS: Serious performer in a small stylish package  looks like altec has now apply its "expressionist" design to all its speakers' range. personally i wanted to try the bxr1220, since i need a small speaker in the office.

Hi all, i just got myself a MX5021 paired with x-fi fatality gamer pro sc. So far im quite stisfied with it, well since its my 1st set of speakers, hahaha. But ive read saying this newer version has benn downgraded to cheaper/worse components so sound quality was compromised . . . are there any way that i could improve it?

Buy better speaker cable, don't use the tiny stock cable. SQ will improve a little.

How is it, please explain more. I guess it should be better after you burned in. This post has been edited by Faint: Jun 21 2009, 10:38 PM

Actually those cap & cable was cheap, its just cost me SG2.xx only. If you want to mod, wait till your warranty over 1st.

New MX5021 user here as well. Ex user of VS4121, C3. Decided to buy S530 and bought this one instead. Nice purchase. Bass is nice and soft, clear sound.

I guess your controller got probs ady, mine MX5021's controller also same. When i press the treble/bass button, the led light just on once then straight back to volume mode.
