Advantages: Look good, sound good, user-friendly, easy to set up, plug into any headphone jack Disadvantages: A lot of wires
...these speakers after previously owning Logitech X230 which had been subject to wear and tear. I was extremely impressed with the price vs quality of these speakers.
They are easy to set up with colour-coded cables so you can't go wrong, they're easy to plug into a headphone jack, so they're really versatile, even your iPod.
They quality of the sound is very good for the price. There is a control attached to them where you can alter the volume and ... ...button.
I find being able to alter the bass extremely useful, especially as I have a flat and late and night I'm never sure if the bass is too loud for my neighbours!
The only problem I have with the speakers is that there are a lot of cables, this is due to the fact that there are 2 speakers attached to the subwoofer, then the cable with the remote on the end, the one that goes in the headphone jack and then one that you plug into the mains.

Advantages: adjustable base, tangleproof input and headphone sockets on remote Disadvantages: could go louder
These speakers are exactly what I needed for my student bedroom. Aside from having perfectly decent sound quality, the important advantages of this particular setup are as follows: 1) the headphone in, and audio in at the front of the controller means that changing input sources, and listening with headphones can both be performed tangle free 2) the colour fits in nicely with black monitors 3) the adjustable base is a great help as if listening at ... ...disturbing neighbours or other people in the house who may be sleeping. They have also taken a fair share of punishment, being knocked over etc and continue to live another day. If you are wanting huge sound then these speakers are not necessarily for you, but I cant see many other reasons why these speakers wouldn't be perfect. A good buy, but worth shopping around for prices, I got mine for 45 when PC world were doing an offer. ...

Review of Logitech Z 4
Advantages: I love my music and they sound soooooo good. Disadvantages: Where on earth do I put the subwoofer?
...speakers. The Logitech Z-4 comprises three speakers (two satellites and one subwoofer). The left and right satellite speakers connect to the subwoofer, both left and right plugs colour coded to their respective sockets. The mini jack colour coded (lime green) so you know which socket to plug it into on your computers sound card. We also have a wired remote control (surely that's an oxymoron) with ON/OFF button, volume control, bass control, headphone ... ...quite happily allows playback from my mp3 player).
The satellite speakers are heavier than they look, and I notice that the stands unscrew and there is a hanging socket on the back of each so they can be wall mounted etc. There is no stand or hanging socket on the subwoofer. Where to put that? (It's currently sitting on top the printer under the computer desk.) The satellite speaker wires are a respectable length so can be placed for optimum effect.

Quick review of Logitech Z 4
My parents bought me these speakers for my new pc for my birthday. My brother had the z3's, I liked them but then I saw the Z4's and liked the look of them.
Set up was very easy. I was blown away by the clarity of the trebles and the punch of the bass. The little wired control is very useful, being able to easily change volume, bass and power on or off. They look very stylish too.
An excellent add on for any music lover's PC. And they were relatively cheap. I compared them to the tinny sound of my old pc speakers and my brother's z3's, the improvement was fantastic. I recommend these speakers very much. ...

Advantages: Great Sound, Nice Design, Handy Separate Controller Disadvantages: Fingerpring Magnet Finish
I've always been a little sceptical about spending money on 2.1 speaker systems - coming from a Musical Background and being trained in Music Technology means that I'm rather picky. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by this offering from Logitech. The sound is crisp and even, with a healthy amount of Mid Frequency which is often a "gray area" on cheaper 2.1 systems. The sub works well too - the independent bass volume control on the handy volume/power/input/control ... ...extra input on the controller, which is particularly useful if you don't fancy burrowing behind the sub to access the main input socket, or if you find that your input cable is just that little bit too short! The only problem I've found so far is that the Sub woofer is hardly "portable"!! Also, the sleek shiny black plastic front of the speakers and remote do act like a fingerprint magnet, so fairly frequent cleaning is needed to keep them looking ...

Advantages: Easy To Use , High Quality Speakers Disadvantages: Short Cable
The Logitech Z-4 Speaker System is simple plug in System that comes with 1 Subwoofer and 2 Speakers along with a dial to change the Sound and Bass. The dial is a big asset to the Speakers as you can change them as you dont always want a big Bass when watching T.V as when your listening to Music. The wires are a decent length but you will need extention cables if you want to lay the speakers out in the corners of your room. You wont need extensions ... ...white but i think it costs slightly more of Amazon. The set up is really simple, you just need to plug the speakers into your T.V, Computer, Labtop or Game Console. It is also worth mentioning that Logitech sell an adaptor should your TV not have the jack needed. ...

Advantages: Loud, good audio quality. Disadvantages: The subwoofer "feel" and perhaps the colour.
Well I'm gonna make this short:
Good points-
Well for the price the aesthetic and wattage output is absolutely brilliant. Which is if I remember is about 40W's, although this may not seem like incredibly alot to most hardcore music people type out there. Personally it is more than enough for myself, for watching ( + Listening) to movie, music, games etc. On the aesthetics, it looks very "polished" (good), the two satellites speakers have metal ... ...good plastic). The subwoofer itself externally is seemingly made mostly of wood (+ metal grill). An extra positive: The cable connected to the volume controller is quite long. The connector itself has a microphone & headphone output.
Bad Points-
Though the subwoofer is good in quality it just doesn't have the same "kick" as some other more cheaper sets do. The sound quality coming out of it is great however since it lacks a hole in the back you ...

Advantages: Great Audio Quality - Wired Remote Disadvantages: Bass could have been better.
Before buying this speaker set I had a craptastic "Diamond 2W speakers"
that come along with my computer which I had brought two years ago. I also brought a "Phillips MMS430" after one year of having my default PC speakers, those soon broke down after a month of usage. Those speakers don't even compare to this speaker set, sure the MMS430 were louder but they had a problem in quality levels on higher volume settings. The Z4i or Z4 don't distort ... ...horribly "wirrr" at being turned at three quarters full. As you see in the picture the two satellite speakers come with 3 drivers on each. Which means greater fidelity and crispness than any speaker with lower amount/s of drivers. The one thing I particularly like about this set is the fact that it has a wired remote, instead of reaching to the back of the bass box to change the bass level, you can comfortably change it using the remote.
There is ...

Advantages: excellent price and superb sound quality for the size Disadvantages: the sub can sound crackly if played too high
I bought this a few weeks ago for around £60. Never been happier with a set of small speakers. I usually use big floor standing speakers because they usually have a better all round sound but these have not failed to impress.
The treble from the components never sounds tinny like other small speakers, nor does the treble ever destort.
The subwoofer has a bass boost control on the back and as long as it's not anymore than 80% then the bass will ... ...with the external volume control which just sits on the desk. very handy and have had no problems with this one.
Overall i've not only been impressed but i'm amazed. I was going to buy a seperate stereo for my room but these speakers have kept me so happy i'm not going to bother.
buy these, and tell all your friends to buy these. fantastic ...

Advantages: Loud Disadvantages: Too Loud, NOT!!! ;-)
the mrs bought me this speaker system for xmas.
i spent about 5-10 minutes setting them up, making sure there were no cables showing, (bit of a perfectionist).
switched on, and bobs my uncle. nice crisp sound.
took me a while to go used to using the wired remote, as i was used to just clicking the little speaker on the screen and setting volume that way,. now however theres no need for that.
played with some good music these speakers are fantastic, ...

Advantages: Sound quality is remains good through out the volume range. Disadvantages: Not as loud as I would like.
...months ago I bought the Logitech Z4 speakers and I can say I am very pleased with the purchase. Having only had a cheap set of computer speakers beforehand, the z4 provided extra volume and quality that I was looking for. The price is also very reasonable. One part that I liked the most is the wired remote that controls the volume and the base level. It makes it very convenient to adjust the levels to your exact needs. A few points I liked: The build ...
