Clear Sound! May 31, 2007
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Even though this is only a 2.1 system, the subwoofer is pure and the two front speakers are very crisp. The setup was 95% easier than i had anticipated. I'm no sound expert, but wow. I think anyone would be able to find true satisfaction with this set.
The ipod-port is a pretty neat add on! All ipods and mp3 players should work since it operates thru headphone jack.
4 out of 5 stars ONLY because you cant control the volume when you have headphone on. Otherwise, TOTAL SATISFACTION.
 Great Sound for a Great Price! July 2, 2007

I am rating these speakers 5 stars because of the sound they produce for only 50 bucks! I am very pleased with these speakers. I have also noticed that the ipod craze is still among us. If you don't want to spend the imoney for an ihome to plug your ipod into, Logitech has designed these speakers to cradle your ipod for playing and charging your as well as being what they should be COMPUTER SPEAKERS!! I have found these speakers to be perfect for my laptop setup, as well as use with my ipod. I recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a nice set of speakers with a great bass sound for a great price!
Wow! Give That Guy A Raise! August 3, 2007

Whoever designed this niffty little speaker system deserves a raise. The sound quality is almost beyond belief when you consider the price and the control center makes adjusting volume a snap without having to mess around with your mouse. Better yet when I get a phone call I don't have to mess with the volume at all I simply reach out and push the Standby button and silence reins! The speakers themselves take up very little desk top real estate and the woofer can be placed on the floor so it takes up no desk top space at all. What is there not to love about this system...
Nice shot August 11, 2007

I found everything I was looking for. Reasonable price, high quality sound, enough power to shake the room. Highly recommended.
 These are adequate - not great December 24, 2007

In the past three years I have purchased four Logitech speaker sets. The X-220, Z-3i, X-530 and
now the X-240. I have also listened to the X-230. I would have to say that of all of these the X-240 is the least satisfying.
Due to having a smaller woofer enclosure (I find it hard to call any of these things sub-woofers), It doesn't seem to have the thump-ability of the others that some people like. But, many Logitechs over do it at the bottom end and can ruin some types of music. These also don't have as much power to overcome high background noise levels if needed.
I got mine to use at work. I wanted to have my PC input to the speakers, but also have the ability to listen to my iPod directly through the speakers while bypassing the PC. This way I don't even need the computer on unless I need to also charge the iPod. I thought the player cradle would be neat, but found that there is a problem with the concept. If i use the correct adapter for my Nano, once you plug the USB cable in the bottom, you cannot squeeze the side buttons on the plug to release it. The buttons are blocked by the adapter. Thus the iPod is locked to the cradle. Goofy!
There is a separate short cable that goes from the headphone port to the cradle. This is all you need if you do not have to charge while playing.
Like all Logitechs, the wiring situation is lousy. These aren't as thick as some of the others, but they are still non-detachable and create a cluttered mess. I would rather be able to use the old clear zipcord and cut to any length. Apparently, we are just stuck with this mediocre method.
The sound isn't all that bad. It's clear and clean, but just not strong. If used in the proper setting, say a quiet office, these may suit you just fine. They aren't a bad buy for the price, so I don't feel like I was ripped-off. It's just that there are better choices. I was influenced by the MP3 player holder, which is not all it could be. If you don't need it, go with something else.
I agree with others who say the X-230 set sounds better. If you can listen and compare somewhere, do so. Just remember to come back here to buy them. Hey, and try their music downloads. Good stuff.
