Home > Consumer Reviews > Logitech X-230 Multimedia Speaker System - 32 Watt (Total) (2.1)

After looking around for a bit to replace my dell desktop speakers I came across these beasts, the reviews looked pretty decent so I eventually decided to buy them...

Probably the best £25 you will ever spend, they give an amazing deep and crisp low end and still hold together without sounding tinny at the high end.

I have found that the sound quality sounds even better when you're a little further away from the speakers (ie not at the comp) but that's just me. They make music and movies so much more enjoyable, definately worth the buy... i'd pay twice the price for these.

I was slightly surprised at the quality of sound given i only have a soundmax onboard soundcard (dell motherboard :/), it still sounds awesome. Only complaint is that they get slightly crackley at EXTREME volumes ( i mean really high :p), but that's most likely due to the soundcard than the actual speakers.

I never write reviews, these have persuaded me to, logitech have done themselves justice here.

buy these!

For the money, you won't get anything better. You probably won't get much better for a lot more. These speakers look the part, they're durable, and hell, do they ever sound the part. Place the sub underneath your desk on the floor, and you can feel the bass. You can FEEL it. For you bass freaks, these are the speakers for you. On a few occassions with the bass right up, I thought my ears were going to melt with the purring, silky smooth bass produced by these speakers. They do every sort of music justice. Metal, rock, classical, ambient, Metallica to Boards of Canada to Barry White to Queen. Everything sounds amazing and for their price I couldn't fault these amazing speakers. The bass is acceptable on the lowest setting (controllable by a knob on the rear of the sub), and on the loudest it almost drowns out the treble.

I find the midrange totally acceptable, it is definatly there. The trebles are very smooth and the speakers on begin to distort when Windows Volume is maxed, and their own volume knob is touching on 3/4s. And that is more than loud enough to fill a living room, maybe even an entire floor, full of music.

Don't look at any other speakers. Your search ends here.

These speaker are an absolute steal. I had to wait a bit after I'd ordered them due to the demand but it was worth it. They are very well built, alright the satellites are a bit plasticky but then they are PC speakers but the sub more than makes up for it. Connecting up was a breeze, just one plug into your PC, connect the sub to the speakers via a serial type lead, plug the power in and off you go. Games sound brilliant, much more detail than before and explosions etc literally shake the room. The bass is incredible even on the lowest setting. Music sounds fantastic, it's actually worth listening to it on the PC now rather than giving up and turning the hi-fi on. I never got on with my neighbour anyway but these speakers should be the final nail in the coffin! Well worth the money.

Previous reviews for these speakers persuaded me to buy a set. Good decision! These are a quality item for the money. If you just want a good quality sound for your PC media stuff and dont want 17 speakers and 10 metres of cable round your room, these are the ones for you. Sound reproduction is exceptional for the money - I paid just £24.01 - and knock spots off your standard issue PC speakers. Even at high volume, distortion is minimal and the sound is clear, rich and rounded. Satellite speakers are compact and stylish and while the subwoofer is larger than I expected and a bit boxy, it certainly does the job. You can also use them on your XBox, Playstation or Gamecube with an adapter (not supplied). Spend the £24, you won't be disappointed.

Two words - absolutely fantastic! Great bass, clear sound (I've tried Greenday, Nick Cave, Snow Patrol and Charlotte Church - all excellent quality sound), cool design, easy to set up - and only £26. I would definately recommend these speakers to anyone who owns a pc. The subwoofer is a little bigger than I expected, but it's fairly easy to hide it in an orifice somewhere underneath the desk.

The speakers themselves are small and will stand on any flat surface. They are small enough to store easily when you are not using the pc for a long time and you're worried about them getting damaged or knocked over. All in all, these are top quality - BUY THEM!!
