Logitech S150 - Very nice little speakers for casual PC use

Ordered as a quick-fix for display-audio which disappeared during an update. The speakers are so unobtrusive and the sound so much improved that I have ordered four pairs in all, to replace all display audio output on office PCs. Granted, I am using these in a casual application, just office work, collaborative meetings, background music, but for such uses these are nearly perfect. The only suggestion I have for 5 stars is to make the speakers separable by a plug-in connector. I have not used the three control buttons at all - just plugged them in and worked fine!Read full review...

no controls and tinny sound

I was told to buy these speakers as the price was very very low and I was told the quality was very very good. Yes, the price is low $12 or so but the quality is not so good and the 3 buttons are impossible to read. + - mute. You need a magnifying glass and the is ONLY a small movement of volume at best. LOUD or NOTHING.

I wrote to return but ON response from Vender so I am no happy at all!!!

Don't mess around with Analog Line Out! Go Digital!

Perhaps you've seen so-called USB speakers in electronics stores, the ones that include two cables -- one for USB, one for audio line-out. Incredibly, the USB cable on those speaker sets is merely a power plug for sucking juice from your computer, and I say "incredible" because from the very beginning USB has been all about direct digital audio.

Way back in 1996 the USB standard defined USB Audio devices, peripherals that exchange digital audio directly with the host. They are literally the number one predefined device for USB, identified by Class Code 01; thumb drives are merely Class Code 08. All modern Macs and PC's since 1998 have supported USB Audio input and output.

What this means is that a true USB speaker set should take its signal directly from the USB port and in digital form -- no noise, no distortion, no sound card even required.

Logitech is one of the few equipment makers who take true USB Audio seriously. I've been buying their stuff since the Nineties, since it was Altec Lansing's stuff, and I'm pleased to say that Logitech's S-150 USB Speakers prove to be an excellent buy as well.

What You Get

No driver disks, power bricks or patch cables spill out of the package; instead there are just two twin 7 x 3 x 2 inch enclosures joined by a 38-inch speaker wire. A rooted USB cable typical in thickness and length to a corded mouse hangs from the Right-hand enclosure, which houses all the electronics and controls; the Left-hand enclosure is simply a speaker. Controls consist of three chromed buttons marked "- mute +" which as you'd expect adjust the volume and mute the speakers. A discreet green LED signals that you've got power, lighting up a domed "DIGITAL" transparency neatly inset in the right speaker grille.

The sound from these speakers is not heavy on the bass, but bass adds weight and these are flyweight devices, less than half a pound between the two of them. What they are is efficient -- on just 2.5 watts of USB power these S-150's can punch right through crowd noise or fill a small room with powerful, nuanced mid-to-high range sound.

Just as pleasing are the silences that are possible with these speakers; you've never heard quiet passages quite as quiet on your analog line-out speakers as on direct-digital ones. You'll notice slight microphone pops and fretboard sounds that you wouldn't even catch on earphones, and if you hear hiss you'll know it's recorded hiss, not your equipment.

Logitech designed these with laptops and netbooks in mind, but they are just as useful for desktops. Again, if you expect butthumping bass response from these flyweight units you'll be disappointed, but how many of us really rock out at our computers anyway? They work great in my small home office application, tucked away behind a 22-inch monitor where I used to keep a much larger, muddier-sounding $15 set from da big-box store. They don't use a power brick so they free up a power plug, and there are a lot less wires snarled behind my machine now.

You may be wondering, how difficult is it to start using S-150 speakers? Are there registry edits, driver updates, magic spells? Nope. It's as effortless as plugging in a keyboard. I've used mine with a Mac and a Windows PC without trouble. The drivers are already there, waiting for you to make the choice...the choice for quality, convenience and value.

Please, shop Logitech's total line and you may opt for the S-150's like I did. Anything but fake USB speakers!Read full review...

Logitech Speaker review

For the price they are crystal clear and work great. Not much Bass and had to turn my laptop's volume down a notch to make the speakers sound less cracklish or distorted. I am happy with them and will serve the purpose intended which is rocking out in my camper on vacations.Read full review...

Logitech S-150 USB speaker is a good product

I bought this Logitech speaker because of its reliable brand name and it does live up to Logitech's reputation.
.
The design is sleek, compact but the sound is very good for its size. The music sounds quite good which I need..The cost is under $20 USD; I paid $44 AUD including shipping from the US, which is a very good value.

This is a digital sound speaker, I works very well on my Windows 8.1 laptop but it's not good on my Windows 7 laptop; I am not sure why but I only use it on Windows 8.1 and I am happy with it.

I definitely recommend this product to other buyers, who look for a compact, affordable but good sound computer Usb speakerRead full review...

Out of Box Compatible with PS4

I recently created an affordable gaming set up for our son with a new Samsung gaming monitor, however the only thing it lacked was speakers which he prefers when he has company to watch YouTube and movies. These speakers were out of box, ready to use with his PS4, they are incredibly affordable, easy set up and the clarity for the price is remarkable. Definitely recommend for any gamers on a budget or parents of gaming children/teens.Read full review...

Recent purchase

These speakers are just fine for my purposes--I recently purchased a used laptop with the internal speaker set blown--these externals are much better than the old internal system could have ever been--
However--DIGITAL?--I guess that I don't understand the meaning of the word as it is used here. To me, if something is digital, then that means that there is some indication of performance levels which can be read or discerned thru some digital gauge or indicator--or that the performance was somehow enhanced by some method that utilized a digitalized format to transmit the information from the source to the output device--and I see no evidence of that here, in either case--the transmission of the sound from the computer is through the same method as was used in the original speakers, except that the signal out-put is sent thru a USB outlet instead of thru an RCA plug or a miniature plug or whatever other connector might be utilized--there is no digital signal being sent nor is there any special circuitry inside of these light-weight speakers which cleans up the signal and digitally improves it--at least, none that I have found, anywhere in the manufacturers' schematics--
So--what's DIGITAL about these? Other than the label on the front which says "DIGITAL"??
It's a cheap speaker, which works in a very adequate fashion, and produces reasonable performance for a modest buck--
Let's don't make a big deal out of this--OK?-
I paid less than $10. for mine, "reconditioned" and that's a bargain--that's it!Read full review...

Great Speakers!

Love the usb power, compact size, and sound quality. I took off one star, because the volume could go a little lounder. Otherwise, would recommend!

Space Saver!

Pretty good little speakers that fit on my space-challenged desk. My only complaint is that they are very lightweight and often fall over with little help. Sound is ok, but considering the price it beats my macbook speaker, for sure!Read full review...
