Turn your laptop or desktop computer or your portable audio and video devices into a complete system with Logitech's X-120 compact powered speakers. At roughly 4 x 8 x 5 inches each (W x H x D), the speakers are small enough to take on trips where you'll be holed up in a hotel for any length of time. Their bass-ported enclosures, 2.2-inch drivers, and 2 watts-per-channel power produce surprisingly full-bodied sound, which Logitech rates at an optimistically broad-ranging (but favorably telling) 80 to 18,000 Hz. The set features a unified bass/treble tone control to tailor the sound. Setup and operation couldn't be easier. Plug your ancillary devices into the speakers' stereo minijack audio input, connect the left and right speakers via the supplied audio interconnect, hook up the AC power adapter, and fire up your music or video program. The X-120s have their power supply built into one of the speakers, so you won't have to hunt out an AC outlet with enough clearance for a bulky wall-wart power block. A headphone jack affords private listening--perfect when using the speakers with a component that lacks a headphone jack or, more likely, a headphone volume control.

Good value for the price For $20 the sound from these can't be expected to be room-filling but if you want an attractive and compact 2-piece set for casual music listening and computer "event sounds" you could do worse. Even at high volume there is little distortion. These are unusual in that they don't use a separate power cube; the 120V power cord goes right into one of them, and a fat wire connecting them probably carries both power and signal to the other. None of these cables are detachable. Separate bass and treble controls would have been nice, but the trick here is to make use of the equalizer function built into most modern PC music player programs to boost the higher frequencies. However, bass can become muddy if you try to boost the lower end more than just a little. Good placement and orientation also is critical. In my case I have added a separate subwoofer; with all of the preceding elements I'm hearing sweet music indeed. Audible hum These speakers have a hum that is quite audible and unpleasant, even when the volume is at zero. Another reviewer also had this problem. Either it is a manufacturing defect, or poor design, but a $25 speaker shouldn't suffer from this problem. For this reason, I recommend not purchasing this speaker. Great Value They look good, sound good and are a great value for the price.
