I just hooked these speakers up to my PC and I'm extremely surprised at how well these speakers perform given their price. They have surprisingly crisp high end detail for using full range drivers and the subwoofer is very capable for use with games and MP3s. Also, the speakers look great, are easy to hook up, and like others, I think the cobalt blue LED is cool.

Obviously these speakers don't compare to a high-quality subwoofer paired to floorstanding speakers using a seperate woofer/tweeter layout. But for under $$$, these speakers perform very well.

I noticed that the subwoofer is crossed over at a high frequency, which means a lot of the music and voices come from the subwoofer instead of the L/R speakers. This is done because the small L/R speakers can only go so low. This causes you to "notice" the subwoofer too much (a good subwoofer is blended so well that you don't even know it's there). To help reduce this effect, I moved the subwoofer under my desk into the corner, obstructed by my computer.

I also noticed that at my first placement of the subwoofer, the bass sounded kind of crumby. When I moved the subwoofer into the corner, it sounded one-hundred times better. By placing the subwoofer in a corner, you gain 6dB of SPL (every surface you put a subwoofer by gains 3dB or doubles the volume). Moving it into the corner also made the perceived bass sound deeper.

Overall, I'm very pleasently surprised and happy with these speakers and would highly recommend them.

These speakers sound AWESOME. I crank them up loud and play them on my PowerMac using iTunes w/o distortion or any adverse effect. With an adjustment to the bass setting on the sub to your taste your all set! Also, I find that using an equalizer in an MP3 player as a preamp to boost volume levels works very well with these speakers.

I had a pair of Monsoon speakers before and they had lots of crackling and interference so I threw them out. They always had a 'humm' and poped when I turned on my computer etc. I paid [a lot] for them and they were JUNK. I spent considerably less on the Logitech system and am absolutely thrilled with them!

I have been very satisfied with the Logitech speakers. They give good frequency respose throughout the entire range and have a good natural sound. They would be a complement to any system: PC or Mac. I have listened to many speakers at the store and liked the neutral, balanced sound that the Logitech system offered the best. It is a good clean sound. I also play lots of games and fly flight sims and they perform very well for those tasks as well. They are an all around great speaker system.

When I set out to buy a new set of speakers for my system I was adamant about spending [a certain amount] on a set of computer speakers. Good news! You don't have to--and you can get great sound at the same time. You won't find any better speakers for the price. Guaranteed.

These speakers are an AWESOME value. They sound awesome, especially with a well coded, bass heavy mp3. I can't recommend these enough for the price.

Several years into their lifespan, they have started to degrade a little though. I only paid like 30 bucks for them, though, so I can't complain.

I have had these speakers for 9 months. I bought them after extensively reading reviews. The Logitech Z-340 are the best choice in their price range. They are not high-end speakers but provide a surprisingly clear crisp sound across different ranges; a true all around speaker set. You will enjoy the subwoofer for gaming or movie watching.

What I like:
- Low price
- Easy to install
- Great sound even at higher volumes
- Solid construction
- No hissing or cracking noise when powered (cheap PC speakers are usually noisy)
- Small foot print for the 2 small speakers
- Subwoofer for an extra bass sound from time to time
- Bass adjustment button on the subwoofer
- The blue LED light is cool in the dark

Downsides:
- The blue LED light can be excessively bright. Depending on the angle you are looking from, it can blind your eye. Make sure you move it away from your side vision when using your computer.
- The bass adjustment button is on the back of the subwoofer, therefore less accessible

THANK YOU LOGITECH FOR YET ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT!
The sound quility is SUPERIOR on these speakers and the subwoofer is VERY powerful, never too boomy, never too soft, the sound is PERFECT on low or MAXIMUM volume! The small speakers deliver EXTREME amount of sound. I love my new speakers and best of all IT IS A GREAT LOGITECH PRODUCT AT A AFFORDABLE PRICE!

I'll keep it simple. Sturdy contruction, simple connections. NO big transformer plug to take up 2 spots on your power strip, and excellent sound quality. The subwoofer, an 8" sealed unit, is surprisngly strong and tight sounding. The crossover network is dead on with no vocal bleed-through going through the sub but still allowing excellent range. They get pretty loud too without distortion. Cant think of a better deal for the price.

These are 33 watt rms speakers, but in my opinion they are an amazing investment that pumps out clearer, crisper, and nicer sound than most speakers with twice the rms wattage and that cost 3 times the price. I have a home theater 5 speaker 100 watt rms surround sound system w/ sub - I prefer these speakers to those, except at very high volumes where the 100 watt speakers dominate. I have a 120 watt rms 4 speaker computer speaker system + a huge sub - I'd say I like these speakers as much or more than those.

They deliver a huge ammount of bass for every type of music, and for cheap. Definately a worthwhile investment if you want nice comp speakers for under $50.

I bought these at a office max for $49.95 in October, 2001. Until perhaps February 2005 these speakers were performing at 100%. I would say that after that there started to be noticeable distortions when the speakers were turned all the way up - this problem never existed before. Other than that they are still awesome and work very well.

Sooner or later I'll upgrade to some other logitech speakers - I'm very confident of this brand and have had great experiences with all their products. After using these awesome computer speakers I am convinced that logitech is the best in the business for computer speakers and would only buy logitech computer speakers, having used other brands like altec and klipsch previously.

Good sound system, lots of bass. Better than many systems that cost twice as much.

A couple of years back, I bought these speakers to compliment my "new" used computer and I've been using them ever since. I've heard other speakers and own another set of 2.1s by Altec Lansing and they can't TOUCH these speakers (especially the subwoofer, which can pump out more complex things than just "ba-dumps" like string basses, etc.). The signal processing is great too-every channel seems well-balanced unlike my altecs, in which the sub thumps a bit too much for my liking-the speakers and the subwoofer compliment each other soundwise perfectly.

Basically, bottom line, these speakers are awesome! I've had them for at least 4 years or something and they still sound as great as they did when I got them! I have been considering getting a new set of Klipsch speakers, after hearing them in an Apple Store, but I've decided I'm gonna stick with these until they die, which will be a very sad day. These have never failed to produce great sound and I am very proud to say that I am the owner of these wonderful speakers.

These may be cheap in price, but you can't get better quality until you go over 100 bucks! It's just too bad they don't make them anymore-grab a used set while you still can! You won't be disappointed!

[Oh and you can flip the stands around and mount them on the wall! How b****in' is that?! (trust me, it's pretty hot)]

these speakers are awesome! get them if you like a lot of bass. i use them with itunes on my imac dv+ without any difficulty. only problem i had was when i was setting up - the instructions told me to plug in the speakers in the speaker outlet on the side of the computer, but this didn't work. a call to logitech customer service directed me to plug them into one of the headphone jacks on the front of the computer. overall, very happy with my purchase. no need to spend any more money.
