Logitech Z200 PC Speakers, Stereo Sound, 10 Watts Peak Power, 2 x 3.5mm Inputs, Headphone Jack, Adjustable Bass, Volume Controls, UK Plug, PC/TV/Smartphone/Tablet - Midnight Black

The Z200 speakers from Logitech are cheap, stylish, and sound surprisingly good. I was using my tinny monitor speakers, which were adequate for watching tv/videos but not pleasing to listen to music through. When they decided to pack up, I bought these.They are a lot bigger than I expected, but that doesn't matter too much as they sit behind my monitor. They look great, and much better than in the amazon pictures. They plug into the mains via a transformer plug, and into your PC via a 3.5mm jack. The audio cable is a bit thin looking, but after several months of use being unplugged and plugged back in again, it hasn't crackled once, as some cheaper cables do when they are about to fail.The speakers sound great for the price, although they can't surpass the sound quality of my Hi-Fi. However, this is not expected for £28. The bass is powerful for the size of the drivers, especially considering there isn't a separate sub. The trebles are moderately clean and crisp, and the mids are moderate too. Don't expect too much out of them, but they certainly sound good - there is none of the tinniness that I anticipated. The speakers goes quite loud, but comes out distorted if the input volume on windows is past 80% when the speaker's control is all the way up.The tone control is a nice touch, and increases the bass a small amount. The volume knob is very smooth, but only seems to output a sound after it is past about 15%.When 2 inputs are connected (through the pc cable + aux in), the volume lowers a little, but this is presumably to avoid distortion. The headphone port is a really useful addition as well.In conclusion, these speakers both look and sound great for their price. I would highly recommend these speakers if you don't want to spend too much, but also want a pleasing sound.

I am a huge fan of Logitech and I have purchased many products by them. I am particularly fond of their computer speakers and this was the first brand I considered when looking for an inexpensive set to compliment my computer. To say that this set severely outperforms what you would expect from the low price tag would be putting it mildly. I have listed my thoughts below:Pros- The speakers are a good weight which is always a good sign. It also means that they don't move once placed on the desk.- These are a very good looking pair of speakers, they're also bigger than you'd think too.- The sound produced from the two small drivers on these speakers are bigger than you'd think! I will admit I was a little concerned with the sound quality when I first turned them on, but after a couple of hours the drivers have really warmed up nicely and give off a great sound.- They are completely silent when idle. I know some may consider this a trivial point but I am someone with ears like a bat and humming/buzzing sounds from speakers cut right through me.- These speakers are capable of producing good volume. I have the computer volume set to 50% and these rarely need to go above 1/3 on the volume dial!- Great connectivity. The right speaker houses a 3.5mm aux jack and a headphone jack so you won't need to crawl under your desk to plug headphones in.- Good cable length on the cable that connects the two satellites. This allows for flexible placement of the speakers on your desk.Cons- The cable length for 3.5mm cable that connects to the computer itself is short. My desk isn't overly tall and I have my tower block underneath my desk on the left and the cable only just reaches. This is a real shame as the cable between the two satellites is very good.- The 'Tone' wheel on the right speaker is very small and can be a little fiddly. There is also no reference point on the wheel so it is difficult to quantify how much bass you have the dial set to. I have had many Logitech speakers before where you get a click turn once the bass is set to 50% for example but these don't have that.Overall, as you can see the pros really do outweigh the cons here. For the price you pay for these I really don't think you can do much better when it comes to both looks and performance and I cannot recommend them enough.
