Vast improvment over the cheap ones

2008-09-01
I bought the Logitech R20's because the cheap, tiny speakers that came with my Gateway Desktop had absolutly no bass. The Logitechs have a lot of bass which is unusual considering how small the subwoofer cabinet is. As has been noted the satelites are a little weak. All of the sound appears to be coming from the subwoofer. The tonal balance between highs and lows seems to be relativly pleasing, but a little more high end (treble) would be welcomed. For the price (27 $) I am happy.

No Options

These speakers have no separate adjustment for subwoofer volume. You will have to use equalizer settings in whatever media program you are using if you want to tone down the subwoofer. Also, the speakers will not work without the subwoofer plugged in. So, this is not the product for you if you need to keep things quiet at times.

Ok, cheap speakers

The sound quality isn't great while listening to music because you can't adjust the bass but its fine for watching movies

GREAT SOUND FOR INEXPENSIVE SPEAKERS

2008-07-20
Great sound for the money. The speaker quality is excellent and the sub packs a punch considering its size. Excellent, crisp sound. Movies never sounded better (especially James Bond movies or concerts).

bad for music, good for games

I received this and resold it within 1 day. Why? Because music sounds horrible through these speakers - muddy, way too bassy, even with my music player's equalizer set to have virtually no bass, it still sounded way too bassy. Conversation and movies similarly are very difficult to understand because the muddy bass overcomes the weak midrange (where most conversations are located) and are thus drowned out. The highs are ok, not too tinny. But lack of midrange and overpowering muddy bass make this a bad set of speakers for anything but games. I imagine it would be good for games because you get to hear the low rumble of explosions and so forth. For movies and music - they pretty much suck.
After trying these out (my first 2.1 pair that I've ever tried out), I decided I dont want a 2.1 pair, I just want a decent 2.0 pair. I dont need low end rumble for listening to music, it just interferes with the balance and no amount of equalizer tweaking fixes that. So I'm now looking at the creative t20's or the t10's for a workhorse 2.0 pair of speakers that can handle music and would give a wider and well balanced range of frequencies for listening to music.

The Logitech R-20 2.1 speakers enhance your games, movies, and music. They offer dynamic audio in a compact design. Their ported wood subwoofer displaces more air for deep bass. Easy connection to PCs, CD and MP3 players. Volume control and a headphone jack included. Shielded satellites for usage near a PC monitor or TV.

Great Price. Great Speakers.

2008-07-12
I was looking for cheap speakers and finding a Logitech brand of speakers for such a low price was great. Great bass. Great sound. Great price. I just wish I could control the amount of bass/woofer.

Not bad...

2008-07-01
It is not bad for the money and as a upgrade for my 10yrs+ PC speakers.

Great sound for the money!!

2008-06-23
We are so thrilled with this set of speakers! Excellent sound for the price .. I play music on my computer (itunes) and the sound is just right. We live in an apartment so they don't need to be too loud. If you live in a house and sound volume is not a problem for you then go for something more pricey. For these the sound is nice and full, passes the NIN test. I highly recommend! Also, they were packaged very well and the shipping was FAST!

great boom for the buck

I bought these to hook up to my Sirius Stiletto because I did`nt want
to spend the money for a matching Sirius boombox, I was amazed that a
speaker system under $20 had the quality of sound of these with a decent bass and smooth highs. I would strongly recommend these to anyone who
is looking for a system under $50
