Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech X-140 2.0 Speakers
Customer Review: Small footprint, but Big on Sound
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a suitable selection when you want to appreciate your music, but don't have a lot of desktop space, or just don't like a lot of clutter. The "Z" design of these speakers makes this possible.
The sound from these speakers is quite distinctive because of its double speaker design. Each speaker unit has:
- 1 Mid-range to upper-range speaker
- 1 Mid-range to lower-range speaker
The Fequency Response of these speakers is: 80Hz - 18kHz. The total peak power output is 10 watts. There is an adjustable tone control that can yield a greater degree of bass, however, it should be noted that it will not sound like a sub-woofer.
This unit can also be easily connected to any other sound source via its 3.5mm stereo jack. It is a good product to consider if you are looking for good value for money.
Customer Review: High Praise
Summary: 5 Stars
I am afraid I can only echo what others have said. For the money, these are the best speakers you can possibly have. Do they sound like Acoustic Research or Bose speakers - well, no. Did you really expect them to at $30?
They are built tough, connect easily, and the power supply does not require an AC/DC brick. They are a bit large and consume desk space so if you are looking for compact speakers, you should look elsewhere. (Perhaps a setup with a floor mounted bass?) That being said, the sound is fine for internet cruising, simple games, and pop music.
If your requirements include naturally aspirated instrument reproduction (jazz, symphony, opera) get out the wallet and buy some serious acoustical speakers. Other than that, these will be more than adequate for most needs. Once again people, they only cost $30!
Customer Review: Logitech scores again
Summary: 5 Stars
A fervent music fan (opera, orchestral, Broadway, big band, jazz), I never thought I'd see the day when I'd listen to most of my music on the computer, but that day recently arrived.
So, I decided it was time to think beyond the lackluster speakers embedded in my monitor, and I shopped around. Having previously bought the Logitech iPod charger/player, which I found surprisingly good, I was predisposed to the brand. Still, I was unsure about getting these speakers after reading some of the less-positive reviews on this page.
I'm glad to say my fears proved unfounded. You just can't beat the sound of these for the price. They are perhaps just a tiny bit short on both the high and low ends of the sound spectrum, but other than that nit, they provide very satisfying sound. I haven't regretted my purchase for one minute.
Customer Review: Tinny
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these speakers based upon the reviews I read on Amazon. They were described as excellent low volume speakers with good quality and appearance. The quality and appearance are both very good, however, the sound quality is hardly better than the sub-ten dollar set of unamplified plastic boxes that typically come with a new computer from an independent builder. This was especially disappointing as I've come to expect Logitech products to be considerably better than mere price would indicate.
These speakers simply are below par by anyone's measure. They sound tinny at any volume and are certain to leave the purchaser wondering what Logitech was thinking about when it decided they were worth marketing. Don't buy these. I have had sets for the same or lower prices from other manufactorers which far out-preform them. Look around.
Customer Review: Quality speakers, durable, long-lasting, affordable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had these speakers for at least two years now.
Some positive points:
- Slightly heavy, they won't slide easily. (Parents of toddlers and owners of cats, rejoice!)
- Durable and long-lasting; I've had these speakers about 2 years, dropped them and yanked them, and they're still golden.
- Smaller footprint without being annoyingly miniature.
- Well-considered cord lengths, not too long and not too short.
- Perfectly fine sound quality for day to day enjoyment.
- Tenor, bass, and even reasonably high volume do not distort.
- Convenient auxiliary inputs for less fuss.
- Handsome appearance, not over-designed or over-fashionable.
- Affordable.
Negative points:
- Audiophiles seem to complain, in other reviews, but I have no ear to appreciate that problem. :)
