We've always had a soft spot for Altec Lansing's wide array of speaker
docks -- these guys have been embedded in that space for an awfully
long time, and the quality has always seemed up to snuff in our eyes.
Er, ears. For whatever reason, it looks as if Altec is trying to
replicate that success in the earbud market -- a market that's been
growing increasingly crowded over the past couple of years as the
portable media player and smartphone sectors have exploded. These
days, a set of third-party headphones are nearly a requirement to
fully enjoy whatever media player you've ended up with, and thus,
hordes of companies have flocked to cater to the demand. The Ultra
MZX606 earbuds ($99.95) popped onto the scene just two months ago, and
now we've had a solid weekend to push the latest Underoath, Happy Body
Slow Brain, Kanye West and Otis Redding jams through here. Hop on past
the break for our impressions.
