Summary: they sounded good but...
Review: OK...I bought these at best buy and I got home set them up and they sounded great. Then the next morning came and I went to put in my headphones into the jack on the right speaker, but it would go in all the way! Then I noticed that there was no sound coming from the left speaker. Now i don't know if i had that one out of a million speaker set that had defects...all i can say is that im pretty ticked.

Summary: Mediocre speakers, but not many other choices
Review: Okay, I don't own this system, but I have heard it several times and have a good basis for comparison. Now I have some Altec Lansing Speakers, the AVS300s, that I like, but the bass from the 5.25 inch 10 watt subwoofer is just a tad to weak, esspetially after getting a new 150watt RMS 12" in my car. :)

Anyways, my Mom's computer needs new speakers, and I am either going to get her new speakers, or get myself new ones and give her my old AVS300s, which would be perfect for her. Now these are normally $40-$50 speakers, but I got them for $20, so it's hard finding something compareable, but I'm looking.

Okay, so I'm looking around at $30-$50 2.1 systems, and I see these sleek little speakers at Best Buy. So emidately walk over to the display and start messing with them. They were okay, not great, and here's why:

Pros:
-Subwoofer an improvement over my smaller and less powered sub.
-The Subwoofer good sound quality and fairly deep, strong bass for what it is
-headphone jack

Cons:
-Sattilites do not sound good. My Altec Lansings give a nice, clean sound and has good highs and mids. The Logitechs sound like a cheap 2 piece system with a good subwoofer. Not surprizing since Altec Lansing has much more speaker making experience
-Sattilite speakers ugly
-Blue LED power light very annoying, even in bright ol' Best Buy!!

All in all, if you really need computer speakers, you can find these for a good price, and or don't mind the lower sound quality, then by all means, they will work for you. As for me, I will continue to look for a better alternative. Mabye I'll have a larger Buget and can ket the Klipsch 2.1 system.

Summary: You get what you pay for.
Review: One can not expect too much for the price. These aren't home theater speakers. They are small computer speakers. The sound is muddy. The woofer looks nice. The satellites look like little creatures from a bad movie. The blue light on the right one is nothing less than eye searing. They don't sound too bad with a bit of tweeking. If you want real good sound,expect to pay at least twice the price. With that all said, not a bad deal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Works fairly well with lousy card
Review: Overall, these speakers are quality for ok price. I have AC97 integrated audio, and they sound decent. I'd recommend a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card with these, because it has such great reviews and should work well with the system. Logitech is only starting out with the speaker business, as it's a keyboard and mice company, but these still edge out the competition.

So-- buy these if you don't have the space for surround sound or the money for Klipsch's.

Summary: This is a great sound system.
Review: The Logitech Series of speakers give one great/or better sound for less money then than the competition. The can even be wall mounted to same space!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just OK
Review: These speakers are very good ...pair of speakers. Huge plus is the built in headphone jack in the speaker. (Tip: if you don't have a headphone jack, just go to Radio Shack and by a Y-adapter so both the speakers and the headphones are plugged into the one sound card. They're both always on, but just turn the speaker volume down/off.)

Not sure why people love these speakers. Creative has a pair that sounds a little better in my opinion (but no headphone jack). Yes these speakers are loud and yes the bass vibrates the walls, but I need solid mid ranges to enjoy music and these tiny speakers have a very tiny sound. Luckily MP3 players have equalizers and other sound 'adjusters' that allow you to compensate, but that gets old fast when your play list bounces between Rap, Techno and Rock and you have to adjust the EQ every time the type of song changes.

Summary: ONE SPEAKER STOPPED WORKING
Review: They are great for the price. Loved them until one of the small speakers went out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good deal, good sound
Review: We were looking around and stumbled upon these at best buy for 24.95 after mail in rebate. We were expecting ok sound, but were pleasantly suprised when they sounded great and even had some extra features. Like silver stands with rubber feet on the sat's, the cool blue indicator light, and it sounded pretty loud for the power rating too. The wires connecting the two sat's would be difficult to lengthen because they are permanently attached, but it was fine for my setup.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Logitech Z340
Review: While I would rather have a 5.1 speaker set, I don't have the room or the budget. I knew the last speakers that I had weren't great, but I didn't think they were THAT bad. Turns out they were horrible. I love the logitech speakers. My music sounds so much better now it is unbelievable. I highly recommend this product.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: These are great
Review: Wow! That is all that needs to be said about these great and affordable speakers. I used to have a set of creative labs 5.1 surround speakers but they [gave] out on me. So I went and listened to these and boy are they good. They easily outperform many of the more expensive speakers out there. If you are looking for high performance speakers with a not so high price tag, look no further than these, they will not dissapoint.
