Logitech S150 USB Speakers with Digital SoundCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

I've had these speakers for about a year now. The fact that they are powered by USB was a big plus for me. They take up very little space on my desktop and there is plenty of cable length to place the speakers on each side of my 24" monitor. Not gaming quality sound by any means but for system sounds and the occasional YouTube video, these sound pretty good for their small size. The mute button on the right speaker is pretty handy too.

Attractive compact inexpensive speakers. Nice midrange sound, not much bass. A lot of bang for the buck. Easy connection via USB-A. Just what I was looking for.

A nice speaker. But, it is a bit loud even at the sound level of 1 or 2 (lowest set).Two possible solutions: (1) Lower the volume in each and every (yes, each and every) app generating sound. In fact, most people do not use many apps generating sound. So, this approach is nagging initially, and but will be OK a while later. (2) A better solution is to use free software "Equalizer APO" available at Sourceforge. This equalizer has been around quite a while (supporting Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 / and future version?!). Ah, it's only for Windows, not Mac. Equalizer APO allows further volume controls. However, it's not easy. Do some Internet search for it... In essence, set preamp to be -20db (or similar value). This method has one disadvantage. You can lower the min volume, but the max volume may not be high enough! So, I must adjust preamp using Equalizer APO when I need to increase the max volume. A bit nagging, again.Nevertheless, I recommend it. Considering the price and the build-quality, it is a good deal.

Good value for the price.

Bought these less than a year ago and they worked fine for several months. Lately, though, the speakers keep cutting out while I'm in online meetings and I have to quickly switch the USB port they're plugged into to reset them. I contacted Logitech's customer support and they told me the speakers work best when plugged directly into the computer as opposed to a docking hub. Unfortunately, because I have a mini 8" CPU, there is no room to plug the speakers directly into the computer.Logitech's customer support had me plug the speakers into my laptop to test them, and they worked fine for about two hours without an issue. I was told that because the speakers worked fine on my laptop, there was nothing wrong with them and there was nothing they could/would do. I beg to differ. Given the trend toward smaller hard drives, lots of devices to plug into computers, and the resulting need for people to use docking hubs, you should probably create a product that's compatible with this setup. Now, less than a year after buying these speaker, I had to buy a new non-Logitech pair of speakers so I can actually hear people when I'm in important meetings. Keep this docking hub limitation in mind before you buy these.

Easy to install good quality for the price

I will try to make this review as detailed as possible so other users do not fall into the mistake I did.At my office, we are not provided with pc speakers. I like to hear my incoming mail notification, hence I decided to buy a pair of cheap speakers. I bought these because I liked the fact that they were small, very cheap, and connected through a USB cord.- Aesthetics:The speakers are nice looking, sturdy, easy to handle and setup on your desk.- Drivers and connections (Part 1 - The good)They have only one cord, the USB, which goes into one speaker, and a second cable connecting the first speaker to the second. This is good because you do not clutter you desk with more wires.The speakers start working as soon as you plug in the USB cable. Windows found the drivers immediately.- The soundUnlike other reviews, mine did not rattle in any way. The sound is obviously (by far) not as good as that from my Bose Soundlink, but is good enough to increase the sound quality of my laptop. They provide enough bass and far richer sound than that coming from my laptop speakers. I would venture to say that they are more than enough to watch a movie in your pc or to listen to music.However, if you are looking for high quality sound, these speakers are not the way to go. But again, these are more than enough if you are not expecting too much.- Drivers and connections (Part 2 - The bad)After installing the drivers, Windows required a reboot. So I did. After restarting the system I noticed that the volume was too high. So I turned it to the least possible setting (Level 1/100) hoping to get a mild, smooth notification every time I had incoming mail.Surprise! The volume on windows is not working! They still sound as if they were maxed out! Windows alerts sound as high as the speakers allow them. So do CDs, youtube videos, etc.With youtube, windows media player, and other programs one has to control the volume setting through the application itself. As per Windows notifications, THERE IS NO WAY OF TURNING THE VOLUME DOWN!!!- RecommendationIf you do not mind that the volume on your computer is always at max setting, buy these speakers. If you have any reason, any reason whatsoever, to turn the volume down, then DO NOT BUY THEM.They claim to have volume control on the front of one speaker, but that is just like manipulating the volume setting with your mouse on the windows taskbar. THus, still no way to turn the volume down. In other words:The windows volume setting goes from 0 to 100 (0 being mute, and 100 being max). You can activate the volume icon in the windows notification setting on the taskbar to turn the volume up or down with your mouse. After connecting these speakers, the volume, regardless of the setting on the taskbar, will be high. The volume on the speakers will not vary much (Bearly noticeable) as you change the windows volume from 1 to 100. Obviously, if you set it to 0, it's mute. Therefore, you have basically two volume options with these speakers: i) Mute; ii) Max (With a small range as if you would vary the windows volume from 95 to 100 on the taksbar).After this experience I decided to search for a similar pair of speakers that have an analog volume control on them. That way I can setup the windows volume at a reasonable level (50-60 percent) and make the final adjustment using the volume knob on the speakers. Such as the Logitech Stereo Speakers Z120, USB Powered (980-000524).I will not try to return these, just because they are so cheap, that I do not think is worth going through all the trouble. I guess I will just give them to a friend.Final Recomendation:DO NOT buy these speakers. Instead try looking for similar USB speakers WITH an analog volume control knob.Hope this helps someone out there! Let me know if you have any questions.

Used for PC. Average quality sound. Plug and Play.
