Strengths: Good sound, good price

Weaknesses: Low level hum (feedback noise) whenever turned on

Summary: The speakers produced a hum whenever they are turned on (I tried moving them away from the computer and all electronic equipment, but the hum was still there). Logitech tech support said this was not normal and I returned the speakers for a replacement. The second pair did exactly the same thing. This time I returned them for a refund. Yes, the hum is partly covered by the noise of the fan of my desktop computer, but it is louder than that. It bothered me sleeping at night and I had to go and turn the speakers off. If you are sensitive to feedback, don't get these speakers

Strengths: Great budget speakers, sound, looks, works with ipod and other mp3 players

Weaknesses: not a "charging dock" for your players

Summary: Good speakers if you can get them on sale. The dock DOES NOT CHARGE your ipod. As PC speakers they do their job, good bass and good sound. No 5.1 THX surround sound but for the everyday user that just needs it to listen to music, watching a movie or when playing a game this will work for you. Can't give it 5 stars as the dock doesn't charge.

Strengths: Color and sound, can hook my ipod to it.

Weaknesses: dock does not charge. Odd place for the buttons.

Summary: Friend recommended these speakers and with a price of 20 after rebate they were a steal! Looks nice next to my dell pc and also my dell notebook. Wish it could charge my ipod nano but i can only use it to hear my music. You don't need to have the PC on to listen to the mp3 player which i think is a plus. Overall it was a good investment for my needs.

Strengths: Compact, good looks, MP3 player holder/imput, strong sound for size, headphone jack

Weaknesses: hard wired speakers

Summary: This is a surprisingly strong speaker system for it's size and price. Very nice where realestate is at a premium (like a dorm or bed room). Doubles as a MP3 player speaker system as well as a charging unit with USB. Maybe an iPhone could be used here (I don't have or know anyone with an iPhone). I can see making the most of your laptop using the speakers.

Strengths: Small form factor, sub-woofer with adequate power, cradle.

Weaknesses: Wires not detachable, unable to power MP3 player.

Summary: This is one of those items that you can be satisfied due to the price range, but you wouldn't go out of your way to purchase otherwise. It's very compact which is good if your space is limited. Another plus is the included sub-woofer which gives your music an added punch. The biggest downfall in my eyes is that the wires are connected to the unit, so you cannot detach them. This makes it a real pain to move and you really can't spread the speakers out for better sound dispersion. It also would have been nice to include some method of powering the MP3 player using the cradle, but I guess you can't have everything at this price point.

Strengths: Clear sound

Weaknesses: sub volume control is not detachable

Summary: These speakers provide crisp clear sound, a big improvement over the cheap pc speakers I had before. My only complaint for the speakers is the volume control is not detachable from the sub, which makes it a bit of a pain when setting everything in place. A decent set of speakers at a decent price IF the rebate comes without hassle- which was not the case, they lost/misplaced my rebate(which appears to be common for them) so I need to resubmit..

Strengths: multipurpose

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I actually got these for my son to use with his Xbox-360 and his ipod. the external in means he can game on his computer monitor without having the PC on. He started using the external for the variety of MP3 players he has. he loves this product therefore so do I!

Strengths: Relatively cheap for a worthwhile set of speakers, dock can be useful if you use an mp3 player a lot.

Weaknesses: Doesn't come w/ toast.

Summary: I was a little apprehensive about the quality of these compared to other "dock" speakers, but for the money I paid ($20) it was more than up to the task!

Strengths: good sound, mp3 portable player cradle/input

Weaknesses: everything wired together

Summary: These speakers boost the sound of the music and games I play on my desktop, compared to the small bundled PC speakers I already had. Best thing is that boom-boom sound I got with the subwoofer. Has a headphone jack input. An extra was the ability to connect an mp3 player with the included cable and place it on the stowaway cradle. 2 year warranty period. I did not like the fact that everything is wired together. But it is a small inconvenience. Once the speakers and subwoofer are in place, I don't expect to be moving them around.

Strengths: MP3 cradle, Volume control for SUB,compact size

Weaknesses: sound quality is just OK,MP3 cradle does not provide power to player

Summary: Overall its OK sound system which can be used with PC,laptop and MP3. Sound quality is not the best.I did noticed some distortion in sub woofer.The wiring cannot be removed from the system , so you have to carry everything together at the same time.There should be some kind on connection in the cradle to power the MP3 player.

Strengths: iPod dock, 2.1 Sound, Inexpensive

Weaknesses: Cheap, poor sound quality, not very aethstic pleasing

Summary: I have to admit, for the money I paid $15 after rebate, it's not a bad product. It has decent sound output, an ipod dock which is nice, decent bass, and bottomline its CHEAP. But the problem is that its not great of a speaker set. If it didn't have the iPod dock, this would be no better than any $20 2.1 speaker set you can buy at Bestbuy. It's nice and convieniant to have the dock, but some can consider it useless since the speakers are already connected to your computer, so most likely you could just run itunes to play the music back to you.Bottomline - If you can find this for under $20 and you have an iPod, I recommend it, otherwise, spend your money elsewhere if you're looking for something that sounds better and look nicer and sleeker

Strengths: looks nice and works OK

Weaknesses: not the best quality

Summary: This is a decent affordable speaker which includes a subwoofer and an adapter for iPods. The overall look of this set is decent despite its low price. Sound quality is not the best, but is acceptable for the price ($15 after rebate). If you were looking for a speaker set for the desktop in this price range, this is a best buy.

Strengths: InexpensiveWorks with laptop, ipod or anything with a headphone line out

Weaknesses: A bit bulkyIpod Dock feels a little flimsySound quality is just ok

Summary: For the Price they work. I'm using them outside in my patio and it's better than stretching out my speaker wires way across the house. They can also be used to supplement your laptop to give it some sound though your probably better off in that case using a good set of headphones. It's an easy way to quickly get speaker somewhere remote from your main system, not a replacement by any means but if you can get it cheap enough it's useful.

Strengths: Powerful full range speakers with subwoofer that charges your iPod and has the well known Logitech quality.

Weaknesses: No remote

Summary: This is just one of hundreds of iPod speakers on the market. What makes this system by Logitech stand out is it's superb sound quality and the fact that it has a separate subwoofer for outstanding bass. This set can be found for very little expense after a current Logitech mail in rebate. I have heard many iPod speakers and most have a very tinny sound with very little bass. I highly recommend these speakers. The only real drawbacks are that there is no remote control included and that they are not portable. But then again they were not meant to be. Also, on many computer systems you can plug this in and have a 2.1 sound system for your computer or iPod.

Strengths: features a built-in mp3 cradle with an auxiliary audio input

Weaknesses: so so sound quality not on par with the creatives in the same price rangeno volume control when connecting the headphoneflat sound on the two satellitessubwoofer is very dull

Summary: For computer speakers, I've only used creative inspire G380, that one is sold at about the same price range as this x-240. The bulid quality is not bad, the subwoofer is on the small side, especially this x-240 lacks an external power adapter, which translates lacking power to me, and my assumption about it is quite right, this speaker doesn't get very loud, and the subwoofer just sound not very comfortable, while my 2.5-year old creative G380 has an external power adapter, the subwoofer is way better than this x-240. The cradle is a nice component, yet not detachable which bothers me a little bit. All the controls and the inputs are on the cradle, also comes with adapters for the ipods. But the cradle is not detachable, which lacks of flexiblity. The other weakness is that although the cradle features an earphone input, when connecting the earphone, the volume control does not work on the earphone. Overall, I would not recommend the speaker due to so so sound quality, the creative G380 sounds way better than this one. The only reason I decided to keep it is its feature.
