 Excellent portable speakers |

These are perfect for the laptop owner who wants richer sound than his computer's internal speakers provide, but doesn't want, bulk batteries or another AC adapter.
First off, don't expect concert hall quality sound. These are portable speakers, not fine audio reproduction instruments. The sound quality is adequate. Doesn't sound tinny. There isn't a lot of base.
Second, for portability these are just plain great. the two speaker are of reasonable size. Not too big; not terribly small. An ingeniously designed phone plug serves as a stand so the speaker unit easily stands vertically. The unit connects through the USB port and installed without problems under Windows XP. There is a problem is you disconnect the speakers and reconnect them without booting. Windows XP doesn't recognize the reinsertion - you'll have to reboot.
Volume is more than sufficient for low-noise environments. Not silent environments; just low-noise, say a mid-range motel room with a kind of loud window air-conditioning/heating unit.
The pushbutton volume controls work well over a moderate range of steps.
Finally, Logitech provides a very nice carrying case.
In sum, these are a great pair of speakers for travelling laptop owners who want more audio than their laptop will provide, with the understanding that these speakers are not going to leave you feeling like you've just sat in Carnegie Hall or La Scala. The neatest part is that you don't need batteries or an AC adapter.

Great for What I Paid & How I'm Using This For

I just spent $1100 for a Toshiba Notebook which I really like. The internal speaker sound on it is OK like most laptop internal speakers & acceptable to me but I wanted to get a louder, pokier sound for when I play back downloads.
These speakers are perfect for me. I got these brand new on Ebay for $16 and change & you should be able to get these under $20 New online if you look around. These speakers do exactly what I wanted them to do. They are louder, pokier & crisper then my internal speakers & are powered on by a simple USB cord. Nothing else needed. Plus very importantly, they are very small & light & have their own small stands. When it comes to listening properly to CDs & DVDS, etc., I rely on my fairly extensive sound system and speakers to listen to, I wouldn't use my laptop. So what I'm trying to say is, if you just want to boost your laptop sound to a better louder, pokier, sound, these are perfect. But if you are looking for the sound you'd get from an expensive audiophile sound system, I'm sure you could get better on much more expensive, bigger & heavier laptop speakers. |
Decent sound and portable

| These speakers have better sound then the ones in my MacBook and are really easy to carry around in my bag. They are usb powered so there is no need for a power brick or batteries. They do lack a little on the bass side, but that's a trade-off for portability. I think that Logitech could have made the carry case also hold the cable internally rather then using the exterior velcro loop. |
great speakers...

i received these as a chritmas gift to go with my Dell XPS 1530 laptop, Windows vista home premium recognized them as soon as the were plugged in. They are great speakers for music, as well as video games, i play WoW (world of warcraft) and they sound great.
If you're looking for concert sound, these are not for you... but if its good sound and highly portable you're looking for, def. pick these up |
Good value at low cost!

I had read the reviews of many higher priced speakers with mixed results. The Logitech V10 on the other
had was rated more positive than negative. This being said and priced at below 40.00, I made the purchase.
I am totally satisfied with these speakers. I can't find one negative thing to say about them. Connected to a
powerbook G4 they more than compensate for the shallow output of the G4s internal speakers and with just
the right music separation of the speakers. I do not claim to be an audiophile, but I would highly recommend
these speakers as replacements on your notebook. |
