Logitech Speaker System Z520

By Michael Brown (maximumpc.com)

We haven't auditioned many cheap speaker systems lately. Why? Well, let's just say we don't enjoy subjecting our ears to the sonic equivalent of waterboarding. But Logitech has a knack for packing big sound into inexpensive boxes, so we agreed to ...

When we see small speakers, we usually pigeon-hole them as near-field monitors: short-throw speakers that produce a small stereo soundstage that collapses as soon as you move more than three feet away from the cabinets. There's nothing inherently ...

Review: Logitech Speaker System Z520

By Dan Frakes (macworld.com)

Logitech's latest two-piece computer speaker system offers convenient features and a unique design for listening from anywhere in the room.

Logitech Speaker System Z520

By Tim Gideon (pcmag.com)

Logitech has emerged as a leader in the production of affordable, excellent-sounding PC and iPod speaker systems and docks. The latest stereo PC set from the company, the $129.99 Speaker System Z520, doesn't deliver pristine bass at high volumes like ...

Clear, crisp audio output. Upward-angled for desktop listening. Dual direction drivers send sound to multiple areas of the room. Aux input auto-disables PC input when it's in use

Can't handle deep bass at high volumes without distortion. No remote control or Mute button. Speaker and audio cables are hardwired to unit

You might expect better bass at high volumes for $130, but Logitech's no-frills Speaker System Z520 does make a good office speaker set, offering crisp output at moderate volume levels.

The aforementioned SoundSticks II will serve you better if you have the room...

I wonder how these would

By Caboose (maximumpc.com)

I wonder how these would sound with an included sub. Maybe if Logitech dropped the price by about $40 and then made another set with a sub for the $130 I'd consider it. -= I don't want to be dead, I want to be alive! Or... a cowboy! =-

I have a set of speakers

By ascendant (maximumpc.com)

I have a set of speakers similar to these (also made by logitech) to hook up to my netbook while I'm laying in bed. They work okay for watching movies, but really are more geared towards those who will be using them mainly for music. Reading this article...
