Customer Rating:
Summary: Great sound, moves around desk
Comment: These USB-powered speakers showed up right away on my MacBook. They sound great, but the stand design makes them move around the desk when played loud. I compared these with the V10 notebook speakers, and decided that to keep the V10 speakers, because they are easier to travel with. If you plan to stay in one place, and don't mind moving these back or taping them down, these are nice speakers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: plug 'n play
Comment: plug them in and blast the volume - a great fix for all those quiet laptops.
also easy to carry around and doesn't need external power.
the audio is not for audiophiles, but for all of us movie-watchers/gamers/and other mortals - this is a good investment

Summary: Exceptional Speakers For Their Intended Purpose
Comment: First of all, don't buy these speakers if you want something that will fill a large room with rich, full sound - you will be disappointed. Do buy these speakers if you want a simple solution to enhance your multimedia experience on your laptop while mobile, as a supplement to a more substantial permanent solution in the home.
I bought these for a trip I was taking so I could play music and video while staying in a hotel room. I was staying with a friend and we're both into music, so I wanted speakers that would provide decent and reasonably loud sound reproduction in our room. I originally bought the Audiosource DB5 speakers after doing some research and reading reviews here on Amazon. They are a good option for ultra-compact speakers, but just didn't have the "punch" I was looking for. They work as a quick solution to plug in an MP3 player for some background music, but they just can't drive sound enough to provide an immersive experience.
Since my trip was coming up soon and I didn't have time to buy something and have it shipped via Amazon, I ran out to a local Best Buy to see what else was available. I got it down to the Creative Labs T20's and these Logitech V20's. The T20's would have definitely done the trick, but they aren't meant as travel speakers, and wouldn't have packed up easily. They're heavy, have an external power source, and need to be plugged into the headphone jack of your laptop (same as the Audiosource speakers, which was not a positive for me). So, I hesitantly picked up the V20's and checked out.
When I got home I took them out of their carrying case (which is a really nice touch), connected them together, and plugged them into a USB port on the back of my laptop. Within a few seconds Windows (I'm using Vista 32 Home Premium with SP1) recognized them, installed the driver, and they were set to go. I fired up my music management software, played a song, and instantly knew that I'd made the right decision.
As others have said, they will bounce around a bit and distort and cut in and out if you start going over 80% volume. At that high a volume level, they start trying to draw too much power from the USB port, which causes the stuttering playback and distortion. That doesn't really matter though, because even at 50% they are more than adequate for portable speakers connected to a laptop. They deliver excellent bass and good highs, but are lacking a bit in the midrange. That said, these are portable speakers rated at 2W, and I think they do an exceptional job for the size/price.
The friend I was staying with travels a lot to remote places in Alaska, and he is going to buy them himself after hearing them. I have never written a review on Amazon before, but I was so happy with these that I had to come back and relay my experience. These speakers won't be for everyone, but I don't think anyone would knock them for what they are in their price point and category.
Highly, highly recommended!
