Its alright
Overall a good speaker, but for the $[...] I can't tell. (I got a $[...]) rebate.
Good speakers as long as you keep the volume under 70-75% of its capability after that the sounds is DISTORTED.
Anyone looking for really high decibel stuff keep away. Rating:

Buyer Beware
I purchased a set of Logitech's V20 speakers and for the first 3 weeks I owned them I thought they were great then they just quit working. I found if I removed and reinstalled the driver they would work for about 3 minutes then quit.
The mute/un-mute works indicating that I am "talking" to the speakers but they do not reproduce any sound.
Before you purchase these do a search using the keywords: "Logitech V20 speakers not working" and do some reading.
Reading the Amazon reviews seem to indicate that not everyone is experiencing the same problem that I am, but, like I say, "Buyer beware!"

Very good speakers but with one issue
I've owned that pair of speakers for a bit more than one year. The sound quality of which is (most of the time) amazingly good given the physical size, the price, and being USB-powered. I'm connecting that pair of speakers through an external self-powered USB hub to a notebook PC. I'm not sure whether it's the notebook PC problem (I had changed to another self-powered USB hub already), I found that from time to time that pair of speaker would sound thin and tinny, losing all base and some mid-range. However, when I unplug and plug the speakers to the USB hub - during the PC and USB hub are on and running - all the base and mid-range would come back.
By benefit of double on real cause of that trouble, and that the issue is not big, I'd still give 5 stars.

These speakers are really worth the money
I inititally went out and got the Bose Companion 2 series II for my laptop that had seriously underpowered, embarassing speakers. But the sound came out as boomy and though the speakers did sound good I wasnt that impressed. They are slightly bigger than your average computer speakers as well so not that portable. Went back to Bestbuy returned them and got these. When I took the V20 out of the box I thought I had made a grave mistake. I thought that these looked too small to produce any decent sound, but then I plugged them in ........and what can I say except - THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
The volume that these speakers generate is amazing considering the size. They are seriously powerful!. The sound comes across very crisp and clear and being USB, they pick up the complete digital signal. Make sure that your MP3 files are lossless and you are gifted with very crisp audio.
They do distort and sound awful at higher volumes but the mid range -arnd 40% - 80% volume is when they are at their best. The bass is not thumpy but present and gives the punch as required. All notes low and high are delivered faithfully. All in all - THESE ARE AN AMAZING SET OF SPEAKERS and I just love them. Rating:

good speakers for the price
I bought these speaker for my mother, who has a Mac Mini. I tested them on my MacBook, and the sound was good. Acceptable for what you pay for these things. But not great. My biggest gripe was that I would get intermittent cracks and pops through the speakers when playing music, but it may be due to an underpowered USB bus on my laptop, (I have not tested them with any other machines, so it could just be my computer). These things are designed to be easy to set up and use, as well as to travel, but I found them a little too big for bringing them along on a trip. And, as for the sound, you're better off with a non-USB speaker system for the absolute best sound quality. For what they'll do for my mom, though, who does not listen to music and will use them only with skype and general web surfing, they're good enough. |
