  Strengths: good vocal range, good carrying case, easy operation

  Weaknesses:bulky for travel

  Overall Evaluation: Excellent speaker system for the price. Clear sound with surprisingly deep bass sound. The bass has limited range but at the price is a good buy. Speakers are easy to set up. Just plug in. Quality hard case protects speakers when traveling, but case size is fairly large for some laptop cases. For the rich bass sound, the size is a minor sacrifice. Good system overall!

  Strengths: Great Sound, Small enough to carrying in a backpack or case.affordable if you buy on Ebay. Nice hard carry case.

  Weaknesses:Controls are tiny & I am not sure if they work. I just got them yesterday & hooked them up. Could be lighter weight & cordless!

  Overall Evaluation: I bought mine on E-bay for $29.00 with shipping. Great deal! $69.99 + tax at Circuit City. I plugged these in to my new laptop & put in a music dvd and was totally impressed with the sound quality. Next I tried out Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. The sound was pretty good with this movie, however I realize they are not surround sound & cannot handle the wide range of highs & lows from the soundtrack, maybe if they had a small sub-woofer would help. I am not complaining as they are a huge improvement over the notebook speakers. Next I tried out Eric Clapton's Crossroads concert DVD & the sound was very impressive from this also. I turned the volume up to 50 of my laptop & only during Star Wars did I notice any distortion. Also I didn't not notice the blue light flashing to indicate lower the volume. If it was possible without sacrificing sound quality & driving costs up to use a lighter enclosure material and make them wireless using the same tech as wireless mice. I think this would make them even better.I would highly recommend the V20 for anyone using a notebook computer that wants better sound than the built in speakers.

  Strengths: Excellent flat, realistic frequency response.Convenience.

  Weaknesses:Control buttons are spongy and poorly marked.

  Overall Evaluation: We have a Sony VGN-FS550 laptop. The built-in speakers have barely any volume and sound harsh and shrill. We really wanted some relief. I bought the Logitech V20 and expected an improvement. But I really didn't expect much more than the many PC speakers I have heard in the past. The V20 speakers turned out to be much better than I could have imagined. I plugged them into a USB port and they worked right away. There was no installion hassle at all. Mainly, I was astonished at how good they sounded. The audio was smooth and realistic. Volume was more than enough for any normal desktop situation. The audio was so fine that I wanted to take some measurements. I am including frequency response graphs of the V20, the Sony internal speakers, and my Monsoon system. While these are not "lab" measurements (I used my Radio Shack sound level meter and Cool Edit) but they really do show the differences between these speakers. I found that the V20 response curve was beautifully flat from 110 Hz to above 7 kHz (which is the point that my sound level meter starts dropping off). The lack of unwanted frequency peaks and dips makes voices sound pure and realistic, and music does not fatigue. By contrast the graph of the Sony internal speakers shows the ragged frequency response and missing midrange that makes them sound so bad. I have a much larger Monsoon flat panel speaker system with a subwoofer. I was surprised to find the V20 sounds better overall due to its exceptionally flat response. Even without the extended low frequencies provided by the Monsoon's woofer, the V20 frequency response still provides a satisfying bass for most listening. There are a set of control buttons, and a blue power LED, on top of one speaker. The buttons are spongy and hard to see, but they work, and I consider this to be an insignificant weakness. These speakers come with a very nice zippered and compartmented carry case. Traveling with them should be very easy. They weigh 2 pounds, but the sound quality more than compensates. And there is no power cube needed. I am buying a second set for myself. I highly recommend the Logitech V20 USB speakers for anyone with a laptop.

  Strengths: Small, carry case, good sound and no drivers needed

  Weaknesses:they move when sound is maximum

  Overall Evaluation: I was wondering whether to go for V10 or V20 speakers and I am glad that I got these. They are so easy to use specially when travelling. I have a 17" laptop and the sound from the internal speakers was not so good but these speakers complement the screen very well and makes watching a dvd a fun experience. These come with a hard carry case and is of great quality to protect the speakers while travelling. The sound is really good for such compact speakers and I did not experience any distortion. They do not come with a remote but my media center remote does the job. The best part however is that no drivers are needed which is a big plus if you have many computers that u may need to plug them into. All in all a great product.
