Customer Review: Best desk speakers I've ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking to use my 360 with my 24" HDMI monitor, but the sound from the HDMI obviously gets gobbled up by the monitor, which thankfully has an audio out (no sound bar). I also use the monitor with my computer, so I was looking for a pair of relatively reliable speakers of good quality that would reproduce game-y sounds well as well as music, which I listen to quite often when using the computer.
I'm no audiophile, but I do like my music and sound relatively free from distortions and tinniness. After doing some searching around, I decided to sink the comparatively small amount of funds for this item and I must say, I regret it not.
I'm not sure what the occasional reviews about low volume are, but my guess is these people don't know how to configure the volume of the device attached to the speakers. If I turn these babies up to max volume, I do get distortion, but I probably also vibrate the entire house (and aggravate the neighbors). At half-volume, I can play music from my laptop and hear it fairly well from the first floor of the house (the laptop being on the second), with no audible distortion.
As for the range, my ears are quite satisfied. These speakers produce a fairly full sound, and while the lack of subwoofer means they don't shake my floor, it was hardly the aim I sought to achieve. However, on the middle volumes, the bass these produce is enough to cause my desk to vibrate. High pitches sound great as well.
No tinniness, either.
To sum it up, the sound quality is well above any standard laptop speaker set. I'd argue you basically get something that would function admirably as the front-left and front-right speakers of a home theater setup.
As for the casing and construction, I must also say that they're pretty solidly built. They're also rather large--do make sure to get a good idea of the amount of space they occupy from the specs. Nonetheless, they look great on the desk and I don't imagine them being destroyed by some trivial incident.
As for the knobs, I also don't quite understand the function of the Tone knob. All the way to the left and it sounds like a set of laptop speakers. In the middle it sounds alright. To the right it sounds like full bass and a generally full sound. I can't imagine a reason to do anything but the rightmost setting.
Oh, yeah, and the power supply is in the left speaker--hence its marked weight compared to the right one. This does, however, mean no power brick on the power plug--definitely a plus. :)
They do feature a port for plugging in...well, a 3.5mm jack from an input device. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with any cable to connect, say, an MP3 player to that port, so I had to go out and buy one. Not a huge deal, and it's a pretty handy feature, but I just wish Logitech had realized that most people probably don't have male/male 3.5mm cables just lying around. Some people say theirs came with one, though, so maybe mine's a packaging error.
One strange design idea, though, is that the left speaker has the power supply and cord while the right speaker actually has the audio plug. I can't see anything good or bad about it, but it's different and may affect your setup.
Overall, these are fairly high quality speakers that are fantastic for desk use, and I can't imagine they were designed with anything else in mind. They function great for games and music alike.
