OUTSTANDING LITTLE SPEAKERS!!
(5 out of 5) by thegherks on Jun 20, 2009 (UK)These are wonderful! OK, you dont get a deep throbbing baseline but would you expect one from speakers this size? There is a good level of base and they are very clear. Great onboard volume controls which actually control the volume on your PC/lappy!! I bought them for my netbook and the difference in sound its remarkable. Great for taking away on holiday as they come with a handy little padded bag too!

Excellent - work well
(5 out of 5) by Aidie on Jul 17, 2009 (UK)Ordered these Logitech S150 Digital USB speakers on standard delivery and still arrived in a matter of days, I originally bought my grand daughter a laptop, like most the maximum sound level and quality is very poor, bought these for £7.90 + delivery total £9-89, and they work great, powered by a USB connection, very impressed with the quality and sound output, can't go wrong for under £10.00, it also includes a purposed made travelling case.

Very good sound for the price, but volume control is poor
(3 out of 5) by numskull on Sep 3, 2009 (Scunthorpe,UK)I bought this to replace my speakers when I noticed that the power supply wire was damaged. I decided to go for USB powered speakers as I don't use the computer for serious listening and would rather reduce the number of transformers connected to my plug sockets! Also my other computer came with similar speakers and I am quite happy with those. They could also come in handy for those people who use a laptop.
The speakers are entirely USB driven, using digital audio output as well as power from the USB port and they give a surprisingly good and crisp sound, though you can't expect to get deep bass sounds. No installation was required apart from plugging in.
The main criticism of the unit is that it does not have a volume control knob or an on/off facility, but instead relies on three knobs to raise, lower or mute the sound, operating directly on the windows sound control in discrete jumps. As a result you cannot fine-tune the volume without accessing the relevant control on the computer, and you can't turn it off when you don't need any sound. Also I am not keen on the light advertising its digital sound, which is always showing.
When the unit arrived there was a a fault in the speaker on one side, evidenced by a slight rattle when playing deeper sounds at any volume, so I had to have it exchanged. I am sure Logitech should have done a better job with their quality control. Fortunately Base were very good and gave me a replacement without any quibbles.
So overall I would give this 3 stars. Hopefully Logitech will address the issues mentioned, but who knows?

Not too bad for usb powered.
(4 out of 5) by C. DORAN on Jul 20, 2009 (Leics, England)There not too bad sound wise, but they're never gonna be as good as speakers with seperate power, "Just not got the power."
They do the job they were purchased for, i.e:- Connected to laptop to replace the tinny speakers when playing DVD's.
They come in a lovely little black case and are small enough to fit in the front pocket of a laptop carry bag.
Overall a good little product as long as your not expecting a true amplified sound.

Fantastic value for money
(5 out of 5) by Janet on Nov 13, 2009 (UK)We bought a new screen for our PC and did not realise that it did not have inbuilt speakers. After reading reviews we chose these, basically because they were inexpensive and had such good ratings. WOW, they are great. We got them for less than £10 and the sound quality is much better than our previous in built versions. We do not do anything fancy on our PC, however we do have friends around the world which we regularly SKYPE. The clarity on these little things is excellent and for the money I do not hesitate in recommending them.
