With notebooks and other mobile computing platforms rising to popularity, many peripheral manufactures cashed in by introducing ultra-portable speakers for those devices. In the USB portable speaker category, there are no more than a plethora of choices from many different manufacturers. Altec Lansing, a long time manufacturer of quality speakers, introduced the Orbit USB speakers to bring their prowess to this market. Priced very competitively at $49.95, will these speakers offer enough bang for the buck? Read on to find out.

Verdict: The Altec Lansing Orbit USB speakers offer a great sounding set of drivers, but come just a bit short in terms of streamlining the user experience. A $50 set of speakers with great build quality that is able to produce very dynamic sound that easily sets itself apart from the competition, the Orbit USB speakers should be on anyone's short list of portable speakers to buy.
