Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer
Customer Review: Great set of speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok. So here's the deal: I needed a cheap set of speakers for the few times I want to listen to music while at my computer (normally, I just use headphones). After checking out a list of options on Amazon, I found that this set had the most positive reviews out of anything else out there (in the price range). The reviews were so positive that I thought, "Is this too good to be true?" Well, I gave it a whirl and ordered them.
One word: Wow.
For the price, and the size, I'm a believer. These things rock. They have a separate woofer that fits under my desk, (yes, that's right, a woofer that is small/thin enough to finally fit under my desk, that right there is worth a couple stars!!)
I love that the power, speaker volume and headset jack are included separate from the speakers. It allows me to place the small speakers right next to my 24" monitor and the volume control within reach by my mouse. For my setup, it's way better than if the volume control were on the speakers themselves. It's given me much more flexibility with my set up.
And of course, what about the sound? For me, totally worth it. I replaced a set of Dell speakers that kept making popping noises, and these speakers were just as good (if not better) than my old speakers (and were a fraction of the price!)
If you're looking for a small set of speakers with a price to match - these sound good and produce enough volume to get a 5-star rating from me! Thanks to all of the Amazon reviewers who steered me in the right direction!
Customer Review: Logitech raises the bar real high with the S220 speaker system
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited to purchase the Logitech S220 speaker system until it was on sale and I had a monitor with no speakers, what a mistake. All the positive reviews I read were on target, I'm still trying to figure out the negative ones. I rated this speaker system is a solid 4.7 and it could have easily been rated 5, The bass is not set and forget for me so ease of use and comfort lost a star because of the bass control knob. The desk control unit for on/off, volume, headphone and mic is a great feature for this system. I can't think of a more over the top purchase of equal value stature except my Koss PortaPro headphones. Logitech set a standard with the S220 system that has the bar raised at a height that will keep these speakers in demand for a long time.
However, the real reason I chose to write this review is to offer an add-on I did. I had a flash about adding a second pair of speakers, during which time the Logitech S120 was on special at an online store for $8.49 with free shipping. I ordered 2 pair(1 for backup). The S120's were placed behind the monitor(23" HD lcd), facing the wall, it is a corner setup, so I'm getting a reflected sound off 2 walls. Needless to say, the sound is very big and spacious and at the same time contained. Adding the S120's also keeps the sound of the bass on the "bottom" and allows the mid's and high's to "fan out" on top and I can really experience sound effects that are beyond just stereo separation. Streaming jazz on the internet has taken on a new dimension for my evening enjoyment.
Customer Review: perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love amazon because of the reviews which I read religiously before a purchase. I acquired these speakers although there were several less than perfect reviews. I have a much larger pair of logitech speakers so I rolled the dice without much concern.
I must first disclose that these speakers are for an asus laptop which have very low sound. The product was here so quickly that I had to check the account to remember when I ordered them. I opened the packaging and the first thing I noticed was there is more than enough cord to maneuver across your desk. I plugged in the speakers, opened the windows media and played a couple of songs. This is on a desk that is 18 inches from my face and these things are loud. I played three songs from bohemian rhapsody to jagged little pill and so far it is a grand purchase. (especially for the price) The range of all 3 is just as good as my 150 dollar logitech speakers, the only difference is I cannot blow out the neighbors windows with the S220's.
There is a nifty little volume control with headset plug ins that are small enough to fit under the laptop stand and remain hidden. The size of the speakers and woofer are perfect for the desk.
The base seemed to be a concern to some in the reviews but allow me to say this. If you use it like I am on the computer desk, its enough to make my keyboard shake a little and feel the vibrations throughout the desk.
Customer Review: Great sound, perfect for casual use

Logitech Speakers S220 2.1 / B000RQSGYO
My last speakers needed replacing when we upgraded monitors - the old speakers had come as a set with the monitor and pulled power from it, and the new monitor did not provide a matching jack to do the same. I use my computer speakers for listening to music and playing games and didn't want to shell out a fortune for replacement speakers.
These speakers are extremely nice. The subwoofer sits under the desk and can be adjusted with an attached knob. The two speakers sit on the desk above, framing the monitor, and the sound control (the little round gizmo in the picture) sits on the desk nearby. The sound control can be easily adjusted with a simple turn, holds a jack for a microphone and another for headphones, and sports an on/off switch for the system. I thought it would be difficult to adjust to using the sound control (instead of reaching forward to turn a knob on the speakers directly), but that hasn't been the case. It's not the design that I probably would have made for myself (the control can slide off onto the floor if you don't position it carefully), but it's a good system for the price.
As for the hardware, the system pulls power from a regular wall plug, and hooks into the computer's audio ports. It's definitely "plug and play", or at least was for my near-decade-old machine - just plug in and go.

Customer Review: S220 Rock for Sound and Value!
Summary: 5 Stars
So you're looking for some new speakers for a cheap price, well I got three words for you, BUY THESE SPEAKERS! They are well worth the money. I got them and plug them in right away and I was amazed by the sound they produced. I didn't even realize my songs sounded so good. They give great sound for the price range, they fit great on a desk, and they have quite cool features. They have a little control panel that has an on/off switch, volume control, and inputs for both a mic and headphones. There fairly easy to set up too, just plug the power in, plug the speakers into the sub, then plug the sub into your computer. 3 easy steps! Also, for you benefit, their are newer Logitech speakers Logitech LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System, but let me assure you that the S220s are better speakers. The LS21's total peak power is 14w even though they are bigger, yet for almost the same price, you could get these older S220's for a total peak power of 34w and small designs for easier placement. You tell me which one sounds better? Clearly the S220s. Let me end saying that I'm full satisfied with these and I know you would be too. =D
