(5 out of 5)Logitech OEM S220 2.1 Speaker Black 14/01/08
SMALL AND COMPACT BUT VERY STYLISH AND COMES WITH VOLUME CONTROL FOR BASS ON THE SUBWOOFER WHICH YOU HAVE TO TURN UP QUITE FAR TO GET A GOOD BASS SOUND WHICH IT DOES REMARKABLY WELL FOR IT'S COMPACT SIZE. THE SPEAKER VOLUME IS ON A SEPERATE STYLISH SWIVEL CONTROL AND HAS AN ON/OFF BUTTON THERE AS WELL. THE NORMAL SPEAKERS GIVE GOOD SOUND BEARING IN MIND THE PRICE TAG. YOU CAN RUN THESE JUST BY PLUGGING THEM INTO THE SPEAKER JACK (using green plug) BUT THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH A SOUND CARD WITH GREEN AND PINK EXTERNAL JACK ADAPTORS. THERE IS A SMALL HUM FROM THE BASS BOX BUT THAT IS THE POWER TRANSFORMER DOING IT'S WORK. ALL I SAY IS IF IT ANNOYS YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING THE SPEAKERS THEN JUST UNPLUG FROM THE SOCKET. BUT PERSONALLY I JUST GOT USED TO IT. PERSONALLY THESE ARE A GOOD BUY AND FOR £20 ALL IN YOU CAN'T REALLY GRUMBLE UNLESS YOU LIKE EXPENSIVE HI/FI EQUIPMENT OR A REAL POSH SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM, BUT THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT THIS PRICE LEVEL MORE THE £100-£200 PRICE BRACKET.
THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS REVIEW, I HOPE IT HELPS, REGARDS BEN
(5 out of 5)Good sound and great value
I just bought these speakers for the hell of it really. I had these pretty awful speakers for a few months on my computer and i never got round to changing them; until i saw these speakers and especially their price-tag: under 7 quid!!!
I thought, well, i have to try these. And I was(am) not disappointed(and i really like my music), the bass is as good as you can get in frequency range and sound quality for anything below 25 pounds, and the satellites are crystal clear and can work independently and without external power if you just plug them into an MP3 player or walkman. The volume of the whole system is quite astounding given its size (can fuel a decent night of 20+ people in a good sized living room). Another plus is the size of the set. Two very small stylish satellites and a sub-woofer a third of the size of any other sub-woofer I've ever seen. Basically, if you're looking to spend less than 15 pounds on some very decent computer/MP3 player speakers to be delivered to your door, this is the item you need.
10/10 definitely.
(3 out of 5)Far from perfect
Sure they're small, cheap, good looking and make decent sound, but they do suffer from audible mains hum, even when they're 'switched off' and bad environmental design - they use almost as much power when they're off as when they're on. Switch them off at the wall if you want to save power. Not good enough Logitech!
(5 out of 5)Cracking Buy
Very good sound quality and amazing finish (piano gloss black to match my monitors) at an great price. Wouldn't look anywhere else. If there has to be any critisism, the on/off switch is a bit fiddly and a blob of Blutack is needed to stop volume control drifting about.
(5 out of 5)Fantastic little speakers
Very happy with my purchase, speakers sound really great considering their size, was definitely pleasantly suprised. We did have to adjust some settings though using a software programme we luckily already had installed on our pc to get the correct sound levels, so you do need something on your system that will allow you to do these sort of adjustments (nothing complicated is needed though, but the standard windows volume control definitely wasn't enough, so you do need something a bit more in depth but can be basic) as only the sub has a bass adjuster which only slightly affected the overall sound when adjusted on the standard settings when just plugged in & played, sounded a bit hollow, but once we had adjusted the bass, treble etc levels using the sound software and the bass adjuster on the sub, it was magic! And the adjustment weren't complicated, I'm no computer buff or anything and it only took me a few minutes to get the right sound levels, the software I have installed has a whole lot of pre-set settings to choose from, like concert, hallway, bedroom, passage etc etc so I basically just went through each one until I found one that sounded good, and hey presto!
Looks wise they are really sylish and modern and don't take up much room at all, even the sub is a nice compact size, but still delivering excellent sound quality and a really good level of bass. I also really like the volume wheel which you can place anywhere in easy reach.
A really good buy for anyone wanting something compact, cost effective, but which still delivers on great sound for movies, games, music etc
