| Vast improvment over the cheap ones |
I bought the Logitech R20's because the cheap, tiny speakers that came with my Gateway Desktop had absolutly no bass. The Logitechs have a lot of bass which is unusual considering how small the subwoofer cabinet is. As has been noted the satelites are a little weak. All of the sound appears to be coming from the subwoofer. The tonal balance between highs and lows seems to be relativly pleasing, but a little more high end (treble) would be welcomed. For the price (27 $) I am happy. |

These speakers have no separate adjustment for subwoofer volume. You will have to use equalizer settings in whatever media program you are using if you want to tone down the subwoofer. Also, the speakers will not work without the subwoofer plugged in. So, this is not the product for you if you need to keep things quiet at times. |

| bad for music, good for games |
I received this and resold it within 1 day. Why? Because music sounds horrible through these speakers - muddy, way too bassy, even with my music player's equalizer set to have virtually no bass, it still sounded way too bassy. Conversation and movies similarly are very difficult to understand because the muddy bass overcomes the weak midrange (where most conversations are located) and are thus drowned out. The highs are ok, not too tinny. But lack of midrange and overpowering muddy bass make this a bad set of speakers for anything but games. I imagine it would be good for games because you get to hear the low rumble of explosions and so forth. For movies and music - they pretty much suck.
After trying these out (my first 2.1 pair that I've ever tried out), I decided I dont want a 2.1 pair, I just want a decent 2.0 pair. I dont need low end rumble for listening to music, it just interferes with the balance and no amount of equalizer tweaking fixes that. So I'm now looking at the creative t20's or the t10's for a workhorse 2.0 pair of speakers that can handle music and would give a wider and well balanced range of frequencies for listening to music.
