Performance and convenience in a compact, stylish notebook speaker set. Enjoy rich, digital USB sound, edgy design, and convenient volume controls. No batteries required. A single USB cable supplies both audio and power. The Logitech S-150 speaker system is the perfect audio companion to your notebook.
I just plugged these babies in, it was really easy. Just opened the box, plugged the USB cable in, and turned my computer on. You might have to restart your computer if it doesn’t immediately recognize the speakers. There was no popping noise like some of the other reviewers experienced. I guess they were just unlucky. They sound pretty good, especially compared to the crappy Altec Lansing speaker built into my HP laptop. Even with every volume control turned all the way up, I could barely here the audio on movies and music which is why I wanted laptop speakers. And I wanted plug and play speakers powered through a USB cord rather than an AC Adapter. And I didn’t want to pay over $20. The S150 speakers met all of these criteria. They’re great!
I generally place a lot of stock in the customer reviews, as for the most part I have found the majority of the ratings to be accurate indicators of product quality. Accordingly, I purchased the Logitech S150 USB powered speakers based on relatively strong reviews. The first pair that I received rattled terribly and I thought that I just got a bad pair and ordered a second set. The second set is slightly better than the first, but the right control speaker to both sets rattle, sometimes excessively. The speakers will play adequately at low volumes, but if turned up to even a moderate level to overcome normal background noise, the right speaker will rattle, at least two for two for me. My recommendation is to purchase a different speaker. However there are some positive aspects to these speakers – they are attractive, small and the sound quality is not too bad, if the right speakers did not rattle, the S150 USB speakers would certainly rate at least a 4 based on the price.
Update, Fix: The source of the rattle is the three control buttons at the base of the speaker, to eliminate the rattle, place a piece of 3M magic tape over the buttons,cut slightly larger than the width and length of the buttons, just make sure there is enough tape to keep the buttons from vibrating in the speaker housing. The tape is elastic and permits the buttons to function, and if done carefully, doesn’t detract from the speaker’s appearance. The sound is now quite good,even at loud volumes.

Good sound, good price, good size!
I bought these based on reviews and price, and they’re perfect. I wanted USB hookups and no bulky AC adapter.

Best deal Ive gotten this year!
Okay, I read the reviews but I thought, I dont know $11.99 LOL. My new speakers for my laptop arrived today, and all I can say is wow!

Great sound in a little speaker (for a non-gamer)
These little speakers fit easily on my desk, and with the USB connection we don’t need to have another inefficient and bulky power supply.
They sound quite good…
Purchased these for a replacement to a monitor I had with built in speakers. I use the Outlook calendar feature extensively to keep me on track for meetings and need the sound feature to keep me moving along. These speakers were just the right size for my cluttered desk, price was very affordable and the sound quality is adequate for my need. I would recommend purchasing these to anyone interested.

Nice design, average performance.
Good features: A single USB cable provides power and sound for less clutter in compact and handsome design.
Average performance, not suitable for quality music.

Perfect fit under 24″ Monitor
For $11 I figured I’d give them a shot. Running off USB eliminates an extra wire and the speakers made to clip under the monitor are $50.

Great small speakers, and GREEN. Some caveats
Bought these speakers to reduce standby power of my PC systems that does not have any integrated speakers built into monitors. i.e.

Great little speakers!
Can’t believe they are only 12 bucks! Plugged them in and away we go. Of course there is not a lot of bass but the mids are really good. Piano and horns sound very nice.

Absolutely Horrible
These speakers are absolutely horrible. I installed them on a fresh installation of Windows XP, and the sound quality is atrocious — clicking constantly on top of my audio.

Awful
These speakers were abysmal. I bought them to complement my laptop speakers, but I’d rather listen to my quiet laptop than have to listen to the static these produce…

asset to the trickle-down theory
Offers more output than laptop speakers—not bad for $10. Obvious drawbacks to this product: USB connection didn’t reliably reconnect; volume buttons are limited; limited on bass…
