How it sucks

I recently purchased these Logitech V20 Notebook speakers and was very disappointed. The sound they put out was ok but after using them for about a month they just quit working. I wouldn't waste any money on them!

sound level is hard to adjust because the buttons are so small . I would buy again because there is nothing on the market with the usb style of installation .laptops hhave very poor sound so we are forced to buy a louder sound system in order to hear anything clearly .

The cables use the tiniest wires, so that if you use them as the portables they are supposed to be, they will break. I have returned 2 sets where I bought them and now the store has discontinued them becasue they are so bad. Not worth the money unless you plan to throw them away soon

They're not loud, they're too small, and they have no bass. The "subwoofer" is about 1.5 inches and they sound like garbage. I would say they are worth about $15 at the most.

Next I tried out Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. The sound was pretty good with this movie, however I realize they are not surround sound & cannot handle the wide range of highs & lows from the soundtrack, maybe if they had a small sub-woofer would help.

Good sound for speech and movies ,however music is tinny sounding . Not adjustable there is no woofer for the bass . Easy install plug and play.

I like them but they do tend to dance at high frequencies, and they can't handle really high volume. Good sound though, and I agree with everyone else, for the price, you can't beat it.

I was doubtful that they would sound good at all being USB speakers, but alas, just what the doctor ordered!

wires are somewhat cumbersome since connections may or may not be on opposite side, depending on your computer.. but overall, i'm well satisfied

I've tried various "plug and play" speakers before, but these leave nothing lacking.

Also I didn't not notice the blue light flashing to indicate lower the volume. If it was possible without sacrificing sound quality & driving costs up to use a lighter enclosure material and make them wireless using the same tech as wireless mice. I think this would make them even better.

I like the on-speaker controls; not just volume, but also can pause, stop, and skip to tracks forward and back.

Pricey, but portable and plug and play. Wouldn't use them for a party, but would use them for listening to music while I relax.

How it doesn't

I love these speakers! They offer a wonderful full bodied sound found only in much more expensive brands. Highly recommended!

got these for my son who likes to listen to music on his laptop and play games, boy what a difference these speakers make, he couldn't be happier with the sound, has alot of 'bang for the buck'.. has a nice case too as a bonus.. great gift at an affordable price

I love the single USB connection, which frees up my headset jack for other needs. The only two drawbacks I find so far is because of their small size, you can't crank them without getting some distortion and lower frequencies aren't as great as if you had a subwoofer. But at normal sound levels, these speakers are really great!

We often watch movies in the living room, where electrical outlets are at a premium in her small apartment. With these USB-powered speakers, it's as simple as opening the sturdy case (included, which is nice) and plugging them in. Other reviews mention the power of these speakers, and it's true -- just turning them to half volume results in loud, clear, non-distorted sound, perfect for watching movies or working on the computer in a small space.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Logitech speakers. The size and appearance are just what I needed. The sound is great and they take up very little desk space.

My sweetheart did a great job selecting these speakers and I couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommend.

I purchased these laptop speakers for a portable video editing system. I need speakers that reproduce audio fairly accurately and, for the size and the price, find these speakers to do a great job. They're small enough to be able to pack them into an oversized laptop case.

There is no external wall wart to crowd your already over-extended surge protector, and no batteries to replace. The supplied carrying case is well made, and makes you want to carry them with you wherever you go. An excellent product, as you would expect from Logitech!

small, neat and well packaged with the included carrying case. excellent for laptop.

They are compact and come with a great hardshell carrying case that's a little smaller than a typical text book. They sound very good up to about 80% power. After that, they start to distort a little.

The Logitech V20 speakers do an excellent job for their size. There are easy to install and very portable.

Very easy to set up, just plug and play. Only need a usb port to operate which is very convenient.

I like the sound of the speakers, but they vibrate all over the place. Need to find a rubber mat to put under the speakers to settle them down.

Fantastic little speakers. I don't expect to see them in use in concert halls or opera houses anytime soon, but they are a welcome addition in my home.

I just plugged in the usb and windows detected them and they worked! Buy these, you'll be happy you did.

Outstanding product - Quality sound and it's own built in sound card. Connected these speakers to my 17" laptop to watch a DVD and the sound will blow you away.
