| Affiliate Reviews: Audio: 5.1 Headset and iPod Speakers OK800 5.1 Headset @ The Moditory  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | USB 5.1 Headphones are extremely popular items now. Their onboard soundcards allow you to take surround sound anywhere, with your laptop or to a LAN with your desktop. You can even hook them up to your MP3 player or whatever other portable device you're carrying along that has a headphone jack. They've also got boom mics on them for your trash-talking rounds of Counter-Strike: Source and UT2K4. OKGear has released the OK800 set of 5.1 Channel Surround Sound USB Headphones. Our reigning champ, the LTB USB Pro 5.1 Headset, had nearly everything you could ask for; but they did have room for improvement. Lets see how the OK800 set tackles the 5.1 USB scene. | |  | |  | | Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 iPod Speakers  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | Although Altec Lansing was never a strong competitor to Logitech and other dedicated speaker manufacturers in terms of innovation, the company has managed to stay afloat due to affordability of the products it produced. However, Altec Lansing seemed to have changed its presence recently. The company is surely not the affordable manufacturer it once was, but it is moving rapidly towards becoming one of the innovative consumer electronics companies in the industry. It has proven that with the surge of specialized speaker units made specifically for AppleÂ’s iPod. As a new edition to its previous inMotion series of products, Altec Lansing has added unique capabilities to the latest inMotion iM7. | |  | |  | | |
