My purpose for this 2.1 system is for listing to my ipod while on the PC and maybe an occasional movie on the pc. So I am bout 2 - 3 feet from all speakers. They are PC speakers, I would not recomend for a home theater or to fill a room large room. I was amazed by how clear the sound is and how loud it goes without distorting. I also liked that you can adjust the volume of the base to your liking. The base sounds great and really adds for a fuller sound. For those people who said there is no base, return it... more info
Sound good, bad cable management.:
Sound is good, though I have a set of Altec Lansing ALS44's from about 2001 that sound as good if not better. The "dock control center" is really just a power button and dial volume control on a "dock shaped" thing-a-ma-jig. The left and right speakers are hard wired to each other via the plug, the dock is hard wired to the subwoofer, etc. It was impossible to run the cables where I wanted to because of this. These are my first "slightly more than basic speakers" from Logitech, and likely my last.... more info
Not the quality I expected.:
I've bought numerous low-priced systems from Logitech over the years. I have always been impressed with the incredible sound quality you get for a buck. Looking for a low budget system for a machine I rarely use, I went with the X-240. I have the X-230 at work, which I have been overly impressed with. Clear highs, powerful lows. I would have thought the X-240 would only get better? Not so. The X-240 is just an everyday low-quality speaker system; you can get the same clarity with a $5 bargain bin setup.more info
they are just OK speakers:
if you are looking for an OK speaker, you may wanna consider this logitech. im not a picky person and dont know nothing about sound and stuff but the sound is sketchy when i turn up the volume just a bit and hear the static noise when no music is playing.
