Summary: Waaay too bassy
Review: I decided it was time to upgrade my generic no-name "Hi-Fi Stereo Multimedia Series" speakers with something just a little louder. I mostly just play some music on my computer while I work, but wanted a little more oomph. These speakers got good reviews (...)so I took the plunge.

My observations:
- The cord between the left and right speakers is too short for my desk. I have a large corner desk and my old speakers had no problem sitting at either end, but these Logitechs can only be put about 4 or 5 feet apart, not the 7 or 8 that I needed. So I had to move them to a lower shelf, closer to the monitor.

- These things are waaaay too bassy for my liking. The subwoofer has a knob on it and I have it turned the whole way down but I *still* have to use WinAmp's graphic equalizer to trim it further. High end is fine, middle range is largely absent, and bass is way too thumpy. Not the profile I was looking for to listen to while working on my computer. Maybe there is a "break-in" period that will change this character, but I'm skeptical.

Featurewise they are very nice with handy volume knob and headphone jack in the right speaker.

I'm half tempted to send them back, but I think I'll donate them to my wife's computer and keep searching. If you have a smaller desk and like thumpy bass, these are perhaps ideal speakers for you and you can count my vote as 5 stars in your case. But while I'm no audiophile by any stretch, these speakers just don't have the flat response I would have preferred.

Summary: At least they're cheap.
Review: I just bought these as an extra pair of small cheap gaming speakers for my xbox to take to LAN parties. They arn't as clear as I hoped and they seem to get distorted easily at louder levels. It's hard to beat the price. On the box it says you can buy the console adapter from logitech.com. At the time I wrote this, the website has no such thing. I just used the adapter that comes with the z-640s. If you don't own any other speakers, I recommend the z-680s.

Summary: Logitech X-230 2.1
Review: I must say, I am a devout logitech customer, and after searching around Amazon for a good speaker replacement, I decided on these because of their power, price, and looks. I was instantaniously impressed with how amazing these sound. Logitech does it again. Amazing low end (no distortion), great sattalites with great power, and smooth looks. The base of these can also be twisted to mount on a wall! These are perfect for music, games, and just about anything you can think of. I for sure recommend these to everyone.

Summary: No reason to pass up such a deal!
Review: I received the x-230 set yesterday and quickly made the connections to my lap top, and within minutes I had great sound. The sound is just a great wholsome sound there is no echo or tinny sound emmitted from the speakers. The subwoofer also gives off great bass. The set is unbeatable! My friend recently bought the Creative 3500 set and it doesn't have the same quality as the x-230's do. The x-230's are amazing and a must for someone with laptop.

Summary: Keepers
Review: I tried several sets trying to find a set that did not have the "tinny" high frequency sound heard with most low cost speakers. The Logitech Z-3 set was unsatisfactory in this area though they had more bass and power (and looks). I'll keep the
X-230 set.

Summary: The best Stereo Desktop Speakers I've seen.
Review: I've had a lot of different desktop speakers at work and home, and these beat them all. The sound is crystal clear, and you can absolutely tell the difference between mp3's coded at different rates on these. The sound is beautiful, even with the onboard sound I have here in the office. My previous speakers were Harmon Kardon desktop speakers, and they just don't come close. These aren't surround sound, but for the price and functionality they just can't be beat.

Summary: Best speakers for under $70
Review: It's still early in January 2005 and it's the right time for manufacturers to introduce their new line of inexpensive 2.1 speakers. Presently, for less than $70 and without any new models from competitors, the Logitech X-230 speakers are my choice.

With the subwoofer's rear knob turned to the maximum, distortion from the subwoofer is not noticeable. I've set the knob between 3 and 4 out of 10 to get the amount of bass which nearly suits my taste in bass. In comparison, my taste in bass is being able to hear a thumpy to boomy bass drum attack on Buddy Rich's Time Being 5 minute drum solo.

Depending on the type of audio played, when the volume is cranked higher than "normal" listening levels, the satelites will distort. The speaker's midrange can be improved with your computer's graphic equalizer.

The gaming control device, which was included with the Logitech X-220's, is not included with the X-230's.

These speaker's warranted a 5 star rating because of it's quality sound for the price. Set at comfortable levels on the speakers and your computer, the X-230's will easily fill a 200 square foot room with clean and distortion free sound.

Summary: Buy these speakers!
Review: These little speakers rock! The sound is very clean and full, with a signal to noise ration >96dB.

The bass is very solid and deep for such a small driver, with a slightly noticeable peak in frequency response around 80Hz or so, depending on what you are listening to. I personally have to turn the volume of the sub to it's lowest level, or the bass overwhelms everything else. I think the greatest thing about these speakers is that even at a low overall volume level the sound is very full with plenty of deep bass (very similar to sound you get from a pair of large element headphones). A lot of speakers sound very thin at low volume levels as the bass rolls off, but not these, the little sub box just keeps thumping. One word of warning: The sub unit is NOT video shielded! Do not place it anywhere near your monitor, or you will ruin it, place it in the floor under your desk as recomended.

These speakers will bring the life back to your MP3 collection, and I won't even mention video games. Buy and enjoy!

Summary: Great deal, good sound.
Review: These speakers sound great, no matter what volume you have them at. I normally have them at about 3-4/10ths the maximum volume (adjusting volume with whatever software I'm using at the time) and they sound perfect. The bass bumps, too and its adjustable, though the dial is on the back of the box.

I haven't tried out the headphones jack, but I love the convenient placement on the front of the right speaker.

I definitely recommend these.
