Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech X-140 2.0 Speakers
Customer Review: Great bass kick and a low profile speaker
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these speakers because I needed a set that could rest on their sides under my multiple monitor setup. Any other speakers I found would block my view of my screens, but these can sit vertically or horizontally. (They are not designed as such, but it works.)
These speakers have a nice kick for such a small package. Nice and heavy too so they won't skate across the desk or tip over easily. One of the "must haves" was a headphones jack on the speaker so I don't have to reach down behind the tower when I start a recording session and want to plug in my cans.
One interesting feature that I will likely never use (but someone might) is what appears to be an input jack so that someone can play an MP3 player directly through the speakers without disconnecting them from the PC.
Customer Review: Excellent Speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
Pro: Sounds great! The look fits nicely with my black monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc...
Con: The bright orange colored light indicator (when the speakers are "on") is a little distracting, but only if I am looking directly at that one speaker with the light, so that is not really a problem. I would have preferred a cooler color such as green or blue for the "on" indicator light. Also, the staticky sound the speakers make when they are first turned on is annoying, but it only occurs at the instant the speakers transition from off to on by using the dial. However, I am starting to get used to this staticky sound after hearing it for a while now every time I turn the speakers on.
Conclusion: If you can overlook the two cons I listed, I would definitely recommend these speakers.
Customer Review: Great buy for the $$
Summary: 5 Stars
Was looking for a good enough, but not budget busting set of speakers for my mac mini. This set of speakers is the ticket. It's a powered speaker set that means that you have to plug it into an AC power outlet. There literally is no set up because it's so simple. It's so easy to plug into your audio source in the computer. The quality of the music is great. I'm not very good with my hearing across the frequency spectrum, but these are plenty good for my old ears. Like the price. There is a volume knob and tone knob on the front of the speaker for you to turn up or down or off. The speakers have a sturdy look with a heavy mesh screen over the speaker cones. Not likely to get damaged around the desktop. Attractive to look at and they just "do the job". It's a good deal, just go with them.Customer Review: Great Little Speakers
Summary: 4 Stars
These speakers are great at their purpose - small, unobtrusive speakers to provide some middle-of-the-road sound - they don't carry heavy bass and of course they don't have a subwoofer, but they provide surprisingly good sound given the low price tag and size.
I bought these to replace a larger system on a computer as I no longer listened to music or watched movies on the computer and didn't need to take up that extra space with a full speaker+sub system. The angled design of these speakers makes it easier to fit them just behind the sides of my monitor, and the position of the knobs makes it convenient to reach underneath the front corner of the monitor and turn the speakers on and off.
All in all, these are well-designed, well-priced, and will serve their purpose.
Customer Review: Lightning Deal Not Such a Great Deal After All
Summary: 1 Stars
Ordered these speakers at the end of November 2010 because they were offered on Amazon's Lightning Deal Promotion at $14.99 I needed a cheap set of speakers for an older computer that has been relocated to the guest room. I was not looking for the best sound quality; just something that would deliver sound/ music, simple with no frills. The speakers have only been used about 10 or 12 times, and one speaker just died last week. I would like to blame the blow-out on excessive audio levels, but that was not the case. One speaker just died for no obvious reason - end of story. I would suggest that anyone looking for a cheap set of speakers go with another brand. I would gladly return these to Amazon, but the product fizzled well after the return window, which expired on Jan. 31, 2011.
