Review : Logitech LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System
Review based on connecting them to my computer for about 5 minutes (I returned them)
Price : £20/$33
Verdict : Not enough power to judge them for sound quality (which on first impression didn't sound too good). Don't buy.
Logitech LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System specifications :
Subwoofer and 2 satellite speakers
Wired control device (volume, headphone input, on/off)
Suibwoofer has bass control knob.
Mains powered
3.5mm input plug to connect to your chosen device
Subwoofer power : 4 RMS
Satellite speakers power : 1 RMS
Total peak power : 14W
Review based on using for computer for 5 minutes :
Main dislikes :
There's hardly any power/volume. The maximum volume on my computer was about 1/3 of the computer master volume. Headphone was the same. I have read that someone said if you connect the headphone direct to the PC rather than via the speaker control device you might get more volume (I never tried that)
Sound didn't seem too good. The subwoofer too bassy, and the tweeters too tinny.
Wires everywhere :
As well as all the wires for the speakers, you have more wires for the 'remote wired device'. It says the tweeters have cable management but it's basically a plastic loop at the back of each tweeter to wind your cable around. Don't forget you have the mains plug too. The 2 tweeters connect to the subwoofer with a 3.5mm connector. Then you have the 3.5mm device connector too. What a mess.
Other negative comments I have read :
A lot of people seem to be happy with the speakers (Amazon reviews etc). Of the negative reviews that are to do with sound quality or non-faulty comments, some have said you can hear humming as if the speakers aren't shielded. I didn't use them long enough to notice.
Likes :
I can't think of any. Perhaps they are a cheap option for something like a mobile phone to give you a bit of oomph. But even at a cheap price I took them back.
Verdict :
Very cheap but still not worth it. Avoid. I'm surprised because I thought Logitech would always be good products.
Kind of speakers I would like :
A 2.1 speaker set that used bluetooth. Preferably not mains powered (or optional).
