Logitech S120 2.0 Stereo Speakers, Black

Here was my criteria for buying computer speakers:- Budget friendly speakers for my work computer.- Best quality possible for the price point.- Must work right out of the box and be easy to use.- Volume control a must.- Headphone jack also a must since most of the time I will be using headphones as not to distract my co-workers.Originally, a co-worker gave me a new Logitech S150 USB Speakers with Digital Sound. However, I ended up purchasing the S120 speakers here on Amazon, and giving the S150 USB speakers away to another co-worker. Here's why:- Obviously the Logitech S150 does not come with the volume control knob, nor does it have the headphone jack. (But the S120 has both of these features).- The Logitech S150 model is USB. The S120, which I prefer, have the plug that goes into the green jack in the back of most computers. I consider my work computer a dinosaur (it is Windows XP). It had problems with the USB speakers. The volume, which could only be set by the computer's volume meter in the control panel, was all over the place. Like other comments I read, I had issues with the USB speakers since I primarily use my headphones. These issues involved the headphones not silencing the USB speakers. With the Logitech S120, when I insert my headphones, the speakers go silent (as expected). The USB S150 are "buggy" at best. The S120 works as you would expect them to.- One more note about the S150 USB speakers. I often found myself having to reboot my computer after inserting or removing the USB speakers. They really are buggy and messed up the sound settings on the computer. Rebooting, of course, seemed to fix the issue until I unplugged or replugged the USB speakers in again. Such a hassle.- Since I primarily use my headphones to listen to music while at my work computer, I am more comfortable with the Logitech S120 model. Like most headphones, the cord is really short. Before, I had to plug my headphones into the computer, which sits on the floor. This gave me a short "leash" of movement. Now, I bring these speakers out close to my computer keyboard, and plug the headphones into the speakers. I don't feel like I have short-leash syndrome anymore.- The S120 speakers, in my opinion, sound better than the S150 model and also cost a little less too! Since I'm in a work environment, I'm not going to be BLASTING these speakers (not ever). However, I did "test" them at home, and they can put out a decent amount of volume. I imagine if you BLAST these speakers often, they might not sound as good as they do at lower volumes.- One small "issue" I have noticed with these speakers only occurs when I am using my headphones plugged into the headphone jack on the speakers: In the left channel of the stereo headphones, I sometimes hear a small humming noise. It doesn't happen with the right channel. I've noticed if I move these speakers away from my computer monitor, the humming noise can be eliminated. I assume there must be some time of interference. I consider this a small issue since I can rectify it and also because these are not an expensive home theater entertainment speakers. They are budget speakers. They are what they are.If you need decent sound from small budget computer speakers, these are great. I'm thinking about getting another pair for my wife's laptop (for the times when she's using her laptop at her desk). These speakers are definitely a huge step up from the small speaker in most laptops.

I love to watch movies, listen to music, on my computer but my volume on it isn't very good, I also listen to my audios why working around the home. I had a set kind of like this and was looking for another set because my last one broke from moving it from computer to kitchen listening to my audio. Haven't been able to find any with wall supply this small, not only that the bigger ones which are way too big for my needs were very costly. I need something that was small and didn't take up too much space. When I found this I was very excited, not only is the price right, but they are just the size I need. The only speakers I could find that would work for me were battery ones. I went through a lot of batteries before I found this set.I have bought several products with the Logitech brand over the years and have always been very please with their products. This is no different, they are made to last with heavy plastic that will not break easy, the cords are thick and can take some abuse. The cord between the two speakers is a good distances so you can get more of an all round sound. You are not going to beat this price, I was very surprise to find these so inexpensive that I could buy more for backup. There is no setup you just plug in and turn on easy as can be. I didn't expect them to be high end it wasn't what I was looking for, for me they work great, sound is good quality, and they are prefect for my use.I bought three sets, so I have a back up, They work so great the volume goes louder than I need it which is great you never know when you will need it louder and knew you can go that extra mile if you need to. Thrilled I now have one for my computer and one to set out in the kitchen for when I am working out there. Plus one I can set back or use in the car for my audios.I cannot tell you how excited I am to find this at this price and to have them work so well. I am over pleased and would love to give it more than a five star.

Sound quality is average, works well for a casual set-up. It feels durable and has a discreet color and look.
