Logitech's Z-10 Speakers: Your Laptop's Best Friend

Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM



Product Category: Speakers
Manufacturer: Logitech
Where to Buy: Low Price Search
Price: $100 to $150 USD
System Requirements: Computer with USB port or 3.5mm analog audio output
Specifications: 9.7"H x 4.5" W x 4.7" D per speaker. 30W RMS two-way speaker design. One inch dome tweeter and three inch large-magnet high-excursion woofer per speaker.

Pros
  • Superb black piano-gloss finish;
  • Crisp and clear audio over USB;
  • Surprisingly good bass response;
  • Touch-input to control audio playback.
Cons
  • Expensive for a 2.0 system;
  • LCD touch controls might be of dubious value to some;
  • Desktop software needed to gain full benefit of touch controls;
  • No Vista software (at the time of this writing).
Summary:
I'm a bit biased: I've always liked Logitech speakers. From the first time I connected a pair of their 5.1 speakers several years ago, I've thought quite highly of the company's products. So when they offered to send me a pair of their new Z-10 speakers I jumped at the chance. This was the first pair of their speakers without a sub-woofer that I was going to test, so I was interested to see how they performed. Would they have decent sound without a sub? And what exactly were those funky controls on the front of the slick-looking speakers?
