Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers
Customer Review: Stylish, functional, good sound quality
Summary: 4 Stars
Logitech's AudioHub Notebook Speaker laptop dock is a stylish, functional accessory with great sound quality to boot. Basically, if you are in the market for a speaker upgrade for your laptop computer you'd be hard pressed to find a better solution at this price range, especially when factoring in Amazon's additional discounting. I found this particular 'dock' style of laptop speakers much more preferable over standard (2 piece) speaker add-ons because of the sleek form-factor it provides, as well as the added convenience of the built in USB 2.0 hubs along with a nifty webcam attachment. Plugging in my 15" inch Dell was about as easy as could be expected. I also liked the amber hued power lights which added to its sleek and cool presentation. Most important of all the sound quality was surprisingly good for a package of its size. I've now spent many hours with this setup listening to mp3's, CD's, DVD movies and countless podcasts. Am very satisfied with the overall quality, both in build and sound quality of this set.Customer Review: Great Sound, Easy to Connect, Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This speaker system is designed for use with a notebook computer. It is very easy to hook up with a USB port. The speaker width slides to fit your notebook's width. There are two USB ports in the front that you can then use for your MP3 player or anything else you need.
The sound quality is excellent. This is so much better than the speakers I owned before. There is a large range of volume control which is better than my old system which didn't have much difference between too-low and too-high.
There is an optional arm that holds a webcam, which extends upward and would be placed just above your computer screen, you can attach if you want it, or you can just leave it off.
The directions were very easy to understand giving short written directions (one sentence per step) and good illustrations for each step.
I can't figure out what else to say other than it was ridiculously simple to set up and the sound quality is fantastic, much more like a stereo sound system than the older `computer speakers'.
I am actually using my speakers right now as speakers for a regular desktop PC. It can sit on the desktop. Since my monitor is huge I actually have the speakers up on top of the big, flat topped monitor.
I am very happy with this speaker system.
Customer Review: A good speaker set that could be improved
Summary: 4 Stars
There have been a sufficient number of reviews to provide in-depth background information for these speakers. What I can provide is a brief opinion. I found the set-up of these speakers to be simple and straight forward. If you can handle a laptop then you're savvy enough for these. The sound is better than speakers usually provided with a laptop so they are definitely a step up. I hear a slight bias towards the mid-range. The highs are good enough, though slightly reticent for string instruments such as violins. The bass response is a bit weak. Good enough for Classical and Jazz, but probably a bit light for Rock. I assume that this is due to the speaker's relatively anemic 15 Watts total RMS power rating, a little weak for my taste and something that could be improved if greater bottom is to be provided. The speakers lack the punch of my Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers, now 6 years old but rated 80 Watts RMS total. The difference is audible in their sound as well as volume. The Logitech AudioHub speakers are easy on the eyes, with a nice design. All in all, if power is not a major criterion for what you desire in laptop speakers, then these are a good choice. But an increase in power would make them just that much better. If bass response and a strong feeling of live presence is what you desire in your music, then I would choose a different set of speakers.Customer Review: Easy to use, bit bulky
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm going to keep this one short and easy, like the product.
Likes: good sound, easy to install and use.
Dislikes: not particularly portable.
I'll explain my dislike for this product as slightly schizophrenic and illogical: I mean, this is obviously not meant to be portable, but that's me I guess.
Not the highest recommendations although it's great if your main computer is a laptop which doesn't do much moving around. Four stars!
Customer Review: Fairly powerful for notebook speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have started using my laptop for my main computer, and thought that I would give these speakers a try, since I am tired of having to drag external speakers with me and set them up everytime. The great thing about the Logitech Audiohub, is that these speakers attach to your notebook, so they're somewhat portable and more importantly, they stay out of the way. They are however fairly heavy so you will likely find they don't easily fit in a laptop bag.
As to the sound, it is incredibly rich and a huge improvement over the built in speakers of most notebooks. The sound is very rich with fairly deep bass from the 3-inch subwoofer, and clear treble from the two 2-inch tweeters on the side. It also contains an area for attaching a web cam to the top.
My only problem with the speakers was that I actually had too much cable since it wasn't an exact fit, and was left with extra cable that was a bit in the way. I wouldn't exactly recommend these speakers if you travel with your notebook a lot, but if you watch movies and listen to music on it, and your notebook spends a decent amount of time in one location at your house, they are a great buy.
