-Great Sound devoid of Customization-Powered Solely from USB-Lightweight-Comes with Nylon Case-Speaker Controls on Soundbar (Windows and Constructed-in Laptop Sound Manage are all sync'd with Windows 7) -I wish it was smaller sized, but then it may possibly not develop the sound it does which I would not trade-I wish they had a custom Windows 7 speaker icon for this speaker :) I use this on my Dell Vostro 3700 17" laptop and it fits and sounds fine. Its not even heavy enough to weigh down my LCD, and the USB cable is lengthy sufficient to plug into my USB port just fine. The sound from this is outstanding. It has fantastic highs, mids, and some bass (its not going to rattle the windows) but it sounds fantastic appropriate out of the box. For some thing I can simply attach to my laptop and rock out a conference room or large space, this does the trick and everybody that hears this factor, they are Always impressed the sounds comes out from this tiny device. If you're like me and want some very good sound and need it portable, this is by far the very best on the market.

1-Compact kind factortwo-Ease of use3-Sound high qualityThese are a lot less complicated, and superior good quality than any set of no cost standing powered speakers. The setup was done in seconds, and the volume/quality is fantastic! The value was right for me, and with free of charge shipping, it was a no brainer to acquire this!I did my research; watched video critiques, read the reviews here, and tried to evaluate them to other related speakers, but there was genuinely no comparison! None that I can see... If you want a uncomplicated, effortless to use, and good quality set of portable speakers, you can't go incorrect with the Logitech z305's!

Just as the description states it fills the room with much much better sound than my laptop. The Bar form packs in a suitcase nice, and I use this everyday at perform. The USB cable stow and Aux input is what makes this for me.But examine my other thoughts beneath.... No cons. This is fairly solid piece. I would agree with the critique this thing has some weight. Also preserve in mind the expectation that this is a laptop speaker if you attempt to max volume. So this factor performs great as notebook speaker, but this factor is perfect for use also as a portable MP3 speaker. You have to retain a USB energy supply handy such as a wall AC to USB or Portable Battery pack with a USB out, but the Aux input really makes this speaker handy. I dont like to often carry my notebook, but I always have my Zune or any other Mp3 player. And for use on road trips, hotel rooms, even at the lake/beach this is solid when you may possibly not want a notebook around. The bar format simply stows in my backpack and the attached USB cable is strong. Again keep in mind the sound wont shake walls, but it def does fill a area. If only this unit also had an internal battery that you could charge up with the cable, then use by itself and aux input.

Due to the fact I acquired this speaker 12 days ago, I am only more impressed with its sound and ergonomics. Its sound belies its size and portability--far better than my Dell M1330 stock speakers and notably superior than the Logitech Z205 it replaces. The two channels are located at either finish of a 12" speaker bar, optimizing the channel separation and stereo impact. The speaker has very good frequency response in the midrange and treble range, and is decent in the bass with surprisingly tiny distortion. Of course, the bass will not shake a area or even the Pc, but that's expected provided the Z305's size and is adequate for most casual listening. The Z305 projects quite well and can fill a modest or medium area. One particular nice aspect of the Z305 is its volume is substantially greater than most speakers; I typically have to lessen the volume of media players to practically minimum. The Z305 has a handy soft carry situation and fits easily in a Computer situation or suitcase. The speaker is very easily worth Newegg's ฼.99 cost. The Z305 has only a single minor con--it doesn't have a replacement USB port to replace the one particular it occupies on the Pc. While its sound excellent does not match most separate speakers, the Z305's sound and volume and sound projection is superior to most notebook Computer's stock speakers. Distortion is minimal. Audiophiles may well scoff at its sound, but one particular should have reasonable expectations for what is basically a transportable notebook Computer speakerbar. Its sound is significantly much better than a single would count on from such a speaker and its volume will allow numerous people today to watch a movie on a notebook Pc and very easily hear its soundtrack. One particular other attainable flaw is its USB cord length. Though it is ample for my compact Dell M1330 Pc, I surmise it may be brief for considerably larger notebook PCs in the 17" range and bigger, depending on the place of USB ports on these PCs. The Z305 ergonomics are good--the attached USB cord shops wound and flush in a space under the Z305--no separate cord to shed. I also hear detail in music and movie/video soundtracks I have missed with my Computer's stock speakers or the preceding Z205. I'm even a lot more impressed the Z305 is powered only by a single USB port with no require for AC energy. This greatly improves its portability. I listen to far more iTunes and MP3 files than usual simply since I appreciate the Z305 sound. In addition to the great high quality of a Logitech item, I can attest to the top quality of Logitech client service. The Logitech Z205 replaced by the Z305 failed prematurely. When I contacted Logitech by e-mail, they replied promptly and asked only for a copy of my purchase receipt and promptly replaced it with the Z305 inside 1 week at no expense to me and did not even ask me to ship the Z205 back to them--they accepted my explanation that the Z205 failed and upgraded me for free of charge due to the fact the Z205 is discontinued.

Very happy with the unit. But I am afraid that USB is a bit hit or miss sometimes, either it recognizes right away or it takes 2 minutes or not at all. It does have an option to use a m/m 3.5mm but you still need to draw power from a computer using USB

Compared to the speakers on my laptop, these speakers are amazing. I now have to lessen the volume so it doesn't disturb the neighbors. Wish there was an optional "stand" so it may possibly be placed on a table since my laptop is stationary. Also, every as soon as in a though, I do tilt my laptop screen beyond a 90 degree angle (don't want these speakers to fall off). This was the initially time I contacted buyer service and the outcome was positive. I chatted with Viola; ever so understanding and patient. She allowed me to convey my disappointment and supplied a different cause for my disappointment (which I had not regarded as, thank you for pointing it out). She provided her assistance for the return of the item, but it was unnecessary as I just wanted to convey my disappointment. And despite the fact that I didn't ask for it, Viola gave me a compensation. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out and keeping a happy client.

This tiny bomb rocks. Logitech makes some quality merchandise and this is one particular. Awesome sound from each and every end. Will place any Laptop speakers to shame. Retractable clips with rubber backing strips attaches effortlessly to upper bezel with no screen obstruction or marks to your unit and are far sufficient apart not to cover your camera if so equipped. Hangs on back side out of the way with easy to come across volume and power buttons. Unit is 13 inches lengthy and looks heavy but is fairly light weight. USB powered with a special strip to store the wire and end is fairly convenient and with a carrying case makes it a no hassle to travel with. Cable length is no situation with my 15.five inch unit. Plug and play with Windows 7. It won't make your windows rattle but the volume is sufficient and is much louder than the built in speakers. With Newegg's quick shipping and ş Consumer Service you can't go wrong.

Superb sound quality and volume, fits my laptop very nicely. Plug and play operates flawlessly USB cord is a tiny brief for the front ports on my machine -- it need to be about three inches longer I got this because the the faulty headphone jack on my ASUS G60 VX caused my speakers not to work any longer. On the other hand, this is an outstanding replacement, nicely worth the โ that I spent at Very best Acquire for it.

This is a adhere to-up review to the original I posted 12-08-2010. Immediately after two added weeks of heavy use, I stand by my original comments. The Z305 is an great notebook Pc speaker that sounds significantly better than one may count on from a 12" speakerbar with no woofers. The Z305 projects a vibrant, airy, open sound nicely with incredibly high volume; the volume is so high I normally have to preserve the media player's volume control well beneath the midway point for comfy listening, a welcome improvement to my Pc's stock speakers that are barely audible even with the volume control on max. The sound is precise, has very good stereo separation, and has no audible distortion. The bass is rather thin, but is incredibly credible given the speaker's physical limitations and easily audible. I'm also impressed that the Z305's sound and volume are powered only by a single USB port. The only attainable shortcoming is the USB energy cord may well be brief for huge ྱ" diagonal screens or larger) notebook PCs with USB ports towards the front. Some users may possibly regard the Z305 as somewhat bulky, but I think its somewhat slim speakerbar profile and relatively light weight facilitates its stowage in most notebook Pc cases. A physically smaller speaker probably would suffer in stereo separation good quality. Its self-installing drivers make its usage genuinely plug and play. The two clips that hang the speakerbar from the rear of the screen are thoughtfully cushioned with rubber "feet" to prevent damage to the screen. For sound superior than the Z305, a user have to use desktop separate speakers or bigger speakers, both of which kinds are not portable and quickly carried. The Logitech Z305 is a high-good quality notebook Pc speaker with a close to-perfect combination of exceptional sound, portability, and compactness that is an excellent choice for users needing a replacement for malfunctioning notebook Pc speakers or merely want a main sound source upgrade that remains transportable and compact.

Absolutely Plug n Play, no drivers, no need to have of external adapters for energy. Surprisingly clean, area-filling sound from small drivers. The dynamic range is very very good. It seriously does blow away my built-in speakers. Just don't count on booming bass. Compact, cylindrical design tends to make for easy storage. Handy cover sleeve to avoid scratching is a nice freebie. Depending on the size of your laptop or netbook, if they are light weight, this speaker assembly may well tip your device more than backwards, considering that it hangs off the back of your monitor. Of course, you don't have to place it there, but it is the ideal spot. ;) Like other reviewers state, be mindful of the location for your USB ports, 'cause the cord is extremely short. If your ports are on the front of your machine, you may possibly have trouble reaching them. Mine are on the suitable side, offset to the rear, so no concerns there. As a matter of truth, it's great not to have lengthy cables all over the location. Absolutely a recommended acquire.

This is a great remedy for any person that wants to bypass the speakers on their laptop. My old HP Pavilion DV1712US utilised a Conexant audio chip that was apparently problematic to create Vista/Win 7 drivers for. HP released a Vista driver but this only allowed the sound to come out of the front headphones port as opposed to the internal speakers. This gets around that concern. It's plug-and-play with no drivers to load. The sound is surprisingly great with an acceptable amount of bass given the speaker size. The total width is around 1ǘ inch shorter than the width of my screen. Not really a fault of my speaker, but the laptop doesn't go into sleep/hibernation mode with the speaker turned on. I need to do some additional experimenting with my energy/USB settings so that the process can power down USB ports. Good small travel bag enables it to be protected and slides into laptop case.

Sounds fantastic. Compact, not as well heavy, got em on a excellent deal from NewEgg. None, except I wish the cable had been cockatiel proof. He's a determined tiny chewer. These sound excellent on my wife's laptop, she's a major Netflix fan and the laptop's built in speakers were difficult for her to hear conversations. This is a Enormous improvement. I wouldn't anticipate to fill Carnegie Hall with sound from them, but that is not their intended objective. Other people have mentioned the USB cable is short but it was extended enough for this laptop and the USB port was on the other side of the laptop from exactly where the cable exits the speakers. Might be a various story if the USB port was on the front edge of the computer system.

Really fantastic and loud sound for its sizeStowed USB cableSpring-loaded clawsCan be utilised as speaker for Walkman (see beneath) It may well be difficult to shop in netbook bag simply because the length. I am kinda blown away for how fantastic the sound it is. Primarily I use it with netbook due to the fact the speakers are barely usable. The speaker comes to rescue! The only challenge is it's also long for netbook bag.If you have USB power provide or external battery and three.5mm audio cable? It can be employed as amplified speakers for phones, Walkman, Discman, and other mp3 players and FM radio.

These speakers are great. I bought them because my laptop speakers were also quiet when streaming netflix and with these speakers plugged in I actually have to turn it down! I have USB ports on the front and back of my 15" laptop and the cord is by no means stretched. The cord folds up nicely into the speakers and the case is handy to prevent scratches. They clip perfectly on the back of my monitor. When these are clipped onto my screen I can adjust it to any angle and not worry about them pushing or pulling the screen down. None I read some of the reviews from netbook customers and I come across it odd they would complain and downrank about how LAPTOP speakers don't fit their netbooks...

Simplest installation achievable on and older Dell XPS/Inspiron Laptop recently upgraded from WinXP to Win7 Ultimate 32-bit. Just plugged it in to the USB port and the OS took care of the rest. No other jack needed, just the USB port. The surround function is amazing. Could make them a small louder. I turned them up all the way to 100% and there was no distortion at all. Newegg's processing and shipping was just as rapidly as I've turn out to be accustomed to. 5 Eggs to Newegg as nicely as to these speakers. Newegg, you're the best!

Large improvement more than installed speakers. Simple installation for W7x64, just plug and play. Built in USB chord storage. Fantastic e-blast price tag + ฟ rebate. None. I adore Logitech solutions. This is just yet another instance of seeing a require and filling the void.

Current laptop has terrible speakers that sound like a tin can, which is fine since it's a business laptop. Adding this made it sound like a much better system to watch TV shows and movies on. Highly recommended if your speakers are tin cans. Great bass and treble. Easy to turn off, and increase/decrease the sound. Hides behind the laptop monitor so it's out of the way.

Purchased it primarily to use on a work at home desktop method for web audio, network voice conferencing, etc.For such a small USB-powered thing, sound is very fantastic, clear, and remarkably loud, I had to turn it way down. It is actually great for my intended makes use of. Given the modest size, it'll travel nicely too. Tried some music and it's OK, but if your something of an audiophile, these aren't going to do the job; complicated music gets muddled. I already have a nicer Logitech 5.1 speaker set in the identical room on a property computer if I want to play tunes, but it's not connected to the perform technique so I can't use it for meeting audio. I was making use of the speaker built into the workstation tower, the Z305 confident beats the heck out of that, and doesn't waste any desk space.
