 Don't deliver on what they promise July 3, 2008

Like many, I trusted the Logitech brand and was enticed by the cool touch-sensitive interface of these speakers. They promised some seriously cool features in a sleek package. However, the longer I've had them, the more I wish I'd saved myself the money and bought an unknown brand - it really would have been a better investment.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the sound quality that's an issue, it's the clunky and often defective usability of the Z10 speakers that's the problem.
- These are USB speakers, and unless you have some seriously powered USB ports, they will crash within an hour and require an entire system reboot. This has happnened to me countless times, despite my having a killer PC case and good power supply.
- In addition, USB connectivity means that it's difficult to switch between the speakers and a head-set & mike without much faffing with cables at the back of your PC.
- The touch sensitivity is so high that even brushing the front of the speaker with the mouse cable will trigger the on/off button or your volume setting. If your desk space is even remotely limited, this will become a problem very quickly.
- On the flipside, if you actually want to change the volume, the response time is painfully slow and touch commands can stack up over several seconds, leaving the commands continuing to excute long after you've stopped giving them. This is a particular problem if the speakers have stealthily turned themselves up to maximum (see the earlier point about mouse cables) and you're suddenly deafening the neighbours at 3 a.m.
- A minor issue, but they're also an incredible dust magnet. Something to do with the touch-technology means that they'll fuzz up within an afternoon (even in relatively clean rooms) and you'll find yourself delicately cleaning them every day with the cloth provided, which of course alters your volume settings *again*.
Considering the price, I would advise against a purchase. The idea was great, but the execution was poor. My next PC speakers are going to be plain and simple things, with simple controls and a nice safe connection to my sound card, thanks.
Very poor. February 26, 2008

Bought a pair of these whilst out shopping at Xmas. It was an impulse buy but I felt confident as I own a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard. Maybe thats what they should stick to as these speakers are very disapointing. In fact since replacing them with a set of Creative T40 speakers(see my review - they're amazing)I'd go as far to say these Z10's are a lot of money for nothing more than a LED display with a couple of cheap sub-standard speaker cones attached. Avoid these.
 Exceptional sound January 6, 2008

I was looking for a replacement set of speakers and chose these on the basis of the reviews here and elsewhere. Buy these and you will not be disappointed - exceptional sound and clarity. I have rediscovered my music collection!!!
One point however which seems to have been missed - the main way of connecting these speakers is via USB - if you do this it by passes your sound card so the best option is to connect via USB for the display and by the speaker jack direct from your sound card to the speaker. You also need to ensure you set your sound card as default for playback and everything works brilliantly.
Sorry to repeat what others have said but... September 23, 2007

These speakers are an absolute gem! Superb sound, nice weighty build quality and yes, the display isn't much use but that doesn;t take anything away from this product for me. Accepts any 3.5m jack plaug so I am even using them to boost the sound from my DVD player - just like being in the cinema.
You can spend 40 on some rubbish 2.1 systems but definitely worth investing in these.
These are absolutely SUPERB September 10, 2007

Anyone who appreciates good music playback should not look at any 2.1 pc systems, a cheap subwoofer and two satellite speakers are going to sound dreadful. Who wants a booming, over-loud bass totally detached from the treble and a midrange that doesn't exist? This is where the Logitech Z-10s come into play...
I actually bought these to play my mp3 player through! I tried all the docking stations and specialist mp3 speakers but none of them sounded ANYWHERE NEAR as good as these Logitech 'pc speakers'! They have a wonderful almost hifi midrange with a sweet and non-harsh treble. The bass goes very deep and is fast and tuneful without any booming or bloating into the upper midrange. The whole balance between bass, midrange and treble is wonderful. Some people might think these Z-10s are expensive (for pc speakers) but believe me, the sound they produce is that of much more expensive speakers. I have plugged them into my computer also and the sound is even better. I'm not that fond of the display, which I think is a gimmick. Who really needs to have the name of the track they're listening to lit up on their speakers? Surely this information can be selected from the computer itself! I certainly wouldn't shy away from these speakers because of the display though, you'd be missing out if you did. The sound is phenomenal and these don't even deserve to be called pc speakers, they are as I said earlier more akin to hifi speakers. If you want a booming and totally unrealistic bass, one which shakes the floor and annoys your neighbours, these speakers are not for you. If, however, you want to hear all the detail in your music and have it relayed to you in a smooth and non-fatiguing manner with all the warmth you shouldn't dare expect from speakers this inexpensive, order these Z-10s immediately! You won't regret it at all.
