Logitech Z130 PC Speakers, Full Stereo Sound, Strong Bass, 3.5mm Audio Input, Headphone Jack, Volume Controls, Computer/TV/Smartphone/Tablet - Black

As with most Logitech products, these little speakers do a very solid job, in their specific swim lane. In this case these little “laptop speakers” do one specific job very well. If you’re looking for some crazy audiophile experience these are obviously not for you. If you have a practical everyday use in mind these may very well suit your needs. When I started working remotely full-time during COVID in March of 2020, I discovered that my work laptop’s speakers were ridiculously inadequate for everyday use, especially in Zoom/Skype calls. People have such varying mic quality that I was missing a lot in low volume call conversation. After picking these speakers up that is no longer an issue at all. They’re super easy to use, are very affordable for this application, and can get quite loud. The sound quality is also just fine, very clear even at louder volumes, but don’t expect a crazy music/bass heavy experience. But for something on the go, say for a home office, dorm room, or hotel visit, these will be great for you. They’re also a pretty good size for traveling in that way so you can reasonably do that. The only thing that’s mildly unfortunate is needing both to plug the sound in via the attached USB cable as well as power to an outlet. It would have been more convenient to have power come through the USB which it is capable of, but it’s not a big deal, and is to be expected for speakers that can pack the volume/size that these do. If you manage your expectations these Logitech speakers will be a great choice.

I used to have a 2.1 Logitech system. I had it for 2 years and then the left speaker finally blew. I wanted to find a pair of satellites to plug into my subwoofer so I could restore my 2.1 system without replacing the whole thing. 1. These worked. I plugged them into my sub and the disc control that controls the sub also controls the speakers. 2. The speakers don't sound bad. The highs and mids are decent. The bass isn't terrible but it's not good either. Thankfully, since these are plugged into a sub I don't have to worry about it. I know that not everyone who buys these has a sub to plug it into so I made sure to specifically listen to these without the sub first to see just how good/bad the bass is. For casual listeners these are good for music but if you like heavy bass you'll need to get a sub or buy more powerful speakers. 3. All the cables were long enough. 4. The build quality seems alright and they look nice. I don't intend on dropping them or anything but they look nice on the desk and they survived being shipped here with no issues. Cons 1. While the sound is really good for $12 speakers, they still fall into the sound quality of $12-$35 speakers. Obviously if you spend more you can get better fidelity, bass response, highs, lows, and mids. 2. The more you turn these up, the worse they sound. I keep mine at about 30% and use my sub's volume controls (it's one of those little volume boxes that sits on the desk) to control sound. They get loud but they also get muddy and distorted. Overall, for $12, these are amazing speakers. Like really, once you sit back and realize that you spent less on these than you did for a family of 3 at a fast food restaurant, it's really quite great. If these break I'll update my review but last pair of Logitech speakers lasted from February of 2012 until last week (13 months) so hopefully these bring the same kind of longevity...but again I'll update my review if anything goes wrong. Until then, this is a great $12 buy.

... and less wiring all about the desk than if a bass central unit were employed. By placing a pair of Logitech Z130 speakers on either side of the monitor, I'm using the monitor's tiny speakers as 'tweeters'. Locating the Z130's in the SAME plane as the monitor-base speakers results in a VERY pleasing wall of sound - without the stereo 'hole-in-the-wall' effect. I bring up the volume on the Logitech Z130's to match the monitor 'tweeters' volume, resulting in a VERY pleasing, full sound plane. It's most enjoyable to listen this way. When reading at the PC (often, for me), I don't want room-filling, wall-shaking sound - just a pleasing diversion from dead silence, sometimes. These Logitechs fill the bill perfectly. The bass, such as it is, is crisp and tight i.e. not boomy or poorly defined. Though not sure, I suspect that (and it looks like) they are using good polypropylene or mylar drivers to accomplish this crisp (not tinny), quality sound. Frequency response sounds reasonably flat with no obvious frequency peaks or valleys. The end result is that they sound NICE! ... a joy for the modest price. However, after a few weeks, listening at MINIMUM volume levels, the electronics started acting up. The Volume would be VERY loud from the left speaker. Turning them 'off', then back 'on' didn't help. After awhile, it might settle back to normal volume ... or maybe not i.e. the problem became inconsistent. When I turn them up to medium (12 o'clock) or 3 o'clock volume, they settle back to normal (for awhile). I considered that the connection or PC sound card might be failing; but, headphone listening from the same outlet eliminated that possibility. Since they were only ~$20, it was not worth bothering to return them. I've since discovered that, if I turn them 'ON' BEFORE playing whatever sound source, the electronics don't act up (as much, anyway). Used that way, they've been working; so, perhaps I was too harsh, rating them 2* ... and I've raised my rating to 4*; that seems only fair. When working, they REALLY sound remarkably crisp and well-defined ... without sounding tinny or harsh.

For $20 these speakers are legit. I've rated these based on their price-point, however, not on their sound output. PROS: + Volume Control on the speaker (Might be a con for some that prefer the remote. I don't like the remotes because it's just more wires). + Headphones jack on the speaker + Decent all around sound considering the price and wattage of these speakers. + definitely loud enough for a small bedroom/computer room for listening to music/games/anything on the internet, though it's not going to be a house party. I can hear these from a different floor. CONS: - A rather short cable to connect from your PC's output if your PC isn't on the same surface as your speakers. - Not much bass, but again, these aren't priced for that. - They sound rich (for what they are) at a specific close distance (Sitting at desk with speakers in front). They will sound much less rich from across the room (they will still be "loud" but it loses range/depth as you move away). OVERALL: If you're looking for something to have rich music and deep bass that will rumble your entire room or house and with good mids and highs, you should consider investing in some $100+ systems that accommodate it. If you're looking for something that is cheap in cost, but get the job done in a close personal space, these work incredibly well for the cost.

Let me start by saying that I purchased these speakers with realistic (read, LOW) expectations. If I wanted deep, rich, powerful sound I would listen to the 1000+ watt Polk / Klipsch component surround system in my living room. What I DID want, were a pair of cheap, small, nice looking speakers for my office workstation so that I didn't have to use the horrid speakers on my monitor. I just needed something for very low to low volume music to make my day a bit less mundane. After a lot of research, I found these, that fit my needs perfectly: - Quite small and fit on my desk great - They look surprisingly good (I was worried they'd look cheap; not the case) and seem well made - They sound surprisingly good for what they are. They actually put out an impressive amount of sound for the wattage. - Nice volume control, and I like the forward-facing headphone jack (even though I'll probably continue to push my headphones with their own amp). The biggest issue I have with them is the power plug. It's the style where the enclosure of the plug is wide and runs perpendicular to the prongs, so if you were to plug it into a typical vertical wall outlet, it would be sitting horizontally. This isn't a big issue in itself, unless you want to plug it into a power strip. That means it takes up at least one extra outlet on the side that has the power cord (unless it's plugged into the end), BUT, it also is a bit wide out the other side. I'm not sure if I could fit another power plug of any style on the other side either, so this thing can effectively take up 3+ plugs in the typical surge protector. Not a great situation, but it didn't present an issue at my work computer station. Are these home theater speakers? No way. I don't even know that I'd buy them for heavy or moderate -volume listening on a regular basis... but again, that's not the reason I bought them. If you have similar needs as me, I really can't see how you could go wrong with these speakers, for the price. I'd have a hard time believing there is a better value out there. Any reviews less than 4 stars are more than likely people that had way too high (and highly unrealistic) expectations of a 5W / speaker, $15 setup.

Logitech Z130 speakers arrived on time and in excellent condition. It's not often that I have enough similar products to run a comparative reveiw. However, in this case I have 3 pairs of budget priced, AC plug in, amplified speakers. These speakers are all offered by Amazon and Amazon Prime. In the order that I will review them, they are: the Cyber Acoustic 2.0 (CA2014), the Logitech S120 and the Logitach Z130. CYBER ACOUSTIC 2.0 (CA2014) PRICE: $11.88 BOOST: Very good. These spkrs. have the most amplification of the 3 sets reviewed, though there is some distortion at full volume. SOUND: Flat and tinny. Spkrs. have little or no bass and therefore are not a good choice for music, movies or TV. Voice does come through loud and clear so these might do well for classroom audio presentations. Remember, these are small spkrs., so they're not going to be adequate for a really large area. MISCELLANEOUS: The separate on-off switch is a nice touch CONCLUSION: Though the spkrs. do work, these units seem to have the least quality applications of the three sets tested. LOGITECH S120 PRICE: $12.49 BOOST: Good. While the amplification is not as great as the Cyber Acoustic spkrs., the S120's still work well for most applications. SOUND: Very good. Seems to have the most accurate sound reproduction of the three sets. Little distortion. MISCELLANEOUS: These spkrs. are rather narrow which can be handy for tight spaces, but can also tip over easily. I wound up using Velcro to keep them stable. CONCLUSION: A very nice, inexpensive set of amplified speakers for all around use LOGITECH Z130 PRICE: $19.70 BOOST: Very good. The Z130s have almost or as much amplification as the Cyber Acoustic spkrs. The difference is that that CA spkrs. has most all of its boost on the treble side, whereas the Z130s boost is spread between bass, mid range and treble. SOUND: Very good. The Z130s have basically the same qualities as the S120s, except the Z130s are louder and have a little more bass. MISCELLANEOUS: Though small, these spkrs. are very attractive and have a wide base, which makes them very stable. CONCLUSION: I have tried the Logitech Z130 spkrs. on TVs, computers, tablets and MP3 players, and though these spkrs. do cost a few dollars more, I believe these are the best of the three sets of spkrs. tested.

The material of the speakers is OK. They're not too cheap feeling but they're also not the sturdiest. The sound quality is pretty bad. They're mostly mid and treble range and little to no bass response. I bought these to replace a broken set of speakers that had a sub woofer and these are terrible as a replacement but they are serviceable. They are of course good for listening to music or watching videos and they are definitely a huge step above laptop speakers. I bought these for my everyday use and music studio use but if you're a professional music producer than stay away from these, but if you're an amateur music producer than these are fine. I mix my music with these speakers but I check the bass quality with headphones. These speakers are good for pretty much anything but there's one big problem for me. When I'm not playing anything through the speakers there is a faint high pitched tone. The tone is always there when the speakers are on. And on top of that, there is a weird electronic, white noise sound that can be heard every now and then. It's not often but once every 5 minutes maybe I can hear it. It sounds like some wiring issue but I'm not sure. Overall, these speakers are fine for listening to music but if you want good bass quality, these are not a good choice. It's still a decent set of speakers for the price though.

I bought this pair of speakers because the sound volume and clarity were poor on my laptop's internal speakers. I was streaming from a classical music station when I turned on these speakers for the first time--instantly I had that sense that I was THERE with the orchestra! Very few speakers achieve that at any price. The Logitechs have an unusual presence, clarity, and very low distortion that belies the $19.99 price I paid. The volume control is also a power on/off switch. Since the set has an A/C power supply, the volume range is impressive. There is no treble and/or bass control, but the quality of sound is such that I don't find myself reaching for those controls. Logitech wisely designed the plastic speaker cases so that the high-end driver is tilted upward--i.e., aimed at where our ears really are located. Does this product reproduce deep bass? No, and I didn't expect a lot of bass--the laws of physics work against great bass from such a small unit. Better not to have it than to endure the boominess and other kinds of distortion that result from forcing bass on a system that can't handle it. For my purpose and considering the low price, the system sounds fine without it. To my surprise, there is no noticeable coloration of sound by the speaker cases; also no rattles, buzzes, or annoying resonances. I hope the person who designed this set, which provides so much at this low price point, got a paid vacation for two and a promotion.

best for the price range ! i am one of India's well known edm artist and producer and i highly recommend this one for casual listening ! infact one of our best tracks have been made on this until we moved on to yamahas.

sehr tolle Lautsprecher

Purchased these to replace the speakers on my monitors that blew out about 3 weeks ago. They work great! I am listening to music on them right now. John Legend sounds like he is right here in the room with me... Great for an office set up etc. I had another cheaper pair that were very crackly and unreliable. These were just a few dollars more and, well, you can't go wrong with logitech. Great quality stuff for a reasonable price. Its not cheap. They were very easy to hook up and have been on ever since. Packaging was great too. They look great sitting on my desk and are small enough that they are not taking up too much desk space. Great buy! Would purchase again.

بصراحه ممتاز للافلام وسعره وايد حلو

Got these on a refurb and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't pay 70 bucks for them but they're fine for my little girl. For 20 bux I can't complain. My daughter was delighted that the light was not orange but green. The sound is okay but do not nearly have the bass that the old 30 dollar fourteen year old Creative Soundblasters (approx same size) still running on my other daughter's PC. These Logitechs do sound a bit tinny but not so much as other 30 dollar speakers I've heard. I'm happy with what they can do and the price. The rate features listed here don't allow me to do these speakers justice. For design I'd give them 5 stars. So many speakers in this genre don't allow for a good firm place to plug in head phones but these ones do and the volume control works with the headphones well. At the refub price I'd buy them again.
