4.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers, January 4, 2006

This review is from: Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (Black) (Personal Computers)

I was very disapointed by te sound of the built in speakers of my new Gateway computer so I started doing some research.

I wanted a USB powered soulution but was not sure about USB for the driving the speakers. I saw the V20s at a local store for over $80 but decided to pick them up.

I cant belive how easy they were to install. Just plugged them into my laptop and Bam! Clear, crisp (And Loud) sound. You wont drive a concert hall but I have AC powered speakers that dont sound this good.

The only problem is that they deliver a bit too much base and can bounce around the table if not adjusted correctly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful speakers for a laptop, February 7, 2007

This review is from: Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (Black) (Personal Computers)

I use these speakers for my Dell Latitude D600 and they are wonderful. The sound is very good for such small speakers, and it really improves the experience of watching a DVD or listening to itunes. You can change the volume with the buttons on the speaker, or with the sound volume button built into the D600. The power drain isn't too high. I was able to listen to music at a pretty high volume for a little over two hours before my laptop battery was about 70% discharged.

There is no software to install - just plug them in to a USB port and you are up and running (no separate power supply or batteries needed - they only need USB power). There are little braces in the back to tip them to the desired angle. There is also a nice little carrying case.

I agree with other reviewers that they can bounce around a little at high volume if on a hard surface, but its not that bad. Thats the only flaw I could find.

These speakers sound very good for their size. The physical design is superb. They are compact and come with a great hardshell carrying case that's a little smaller than a typical text book.

They sound very good up to about 80% power. After that, they start to distort a little.

These are perfect to use when ambient noise is not too loud and you want to power your sound via your computer's USB port.
