Logitech X-240 iPod Speaker System

Logitech X-240 2.1 Speakers

Strengths: Great budget speakers, sound, looks, works with ipod and other mp3 players

Weakness: not a "charging dock" for your players

Good speakers if you can get them on sale. The dock DOES NOT CHARGE your ipod. As PC speakers they do their job, good bass and good sound. No 5.1 THX surround sound but for the everyday user that just needs it to listen to music, watching a movie or when playing a game this will work for you. Can't give it 5 stars as the dock doesn't charge.

Great Bang for the Buck!

Strengths: Relatively cheap for a worthwhile set of speakers, dock can be useful if you use an mp3 player a lot.

Weakness: Doesn't come w/ toast.

I was a little apprehensive about the quality of these compared to other "dock" speakers, but for the money I paid ($20) it was more than up to the task!

PC speakers plus more!

Strengths: good sound, mp3 portable player cradle/input

Weakness: everything wired together

These speakers boost the sound of the music and games I play on my desktop, compared to the small bundled PC speakers I already had. Best thing is that boom-boom sound I got with the subwoofer. Has a headphone jack input. An extra was the ability to connect an mp3 player with the included cable and place it on the stowaway cradle. 2 year warranty period. I did not like the fact that everything is...

X240 2.1 Speakers

Strengths: Price, compact-ness

Weakness: not-so-good speakers

I got these speakers for a great price after rebate. It is otherwise not worth the full price. THey are ok for a desktop. For my purpose it is alright.

A great 2.1 Package

Strengths: Sound is clear, sub is clean with adjustable sub volume. Dock specializes for iPod video and nano, also the new Zune. Uses the headphone jack from MP3 player for input.

Weakness: Control unit is hard wired to the unit along with AC cord. Does not self power the iPod or Zune. You must use the factory cord (not docking station) to charge. May need to purchase an AC to USB conv.

First off, I have to say I was VERY impressed with the unit. I was at first a bit confused when taking it out of the box on how the control unit was attached to the sub, which houses the amplifier. The power cord was also attached, and both were in a separate compartment so it was difficult to remove. Having flash backs of previous sound systems, I was a bit scared as to the quality (usually...

Strengths: Good sound, good price

Weakness: Low level hum (feedback noise) whenever turned on

The speakers produced a hum whenever they are turned on (I tried moving them away from the computer and all electronic equipment, but the hum was still there). Logitech tech support said this was not normal and I returned the speakers for a replacement. The second pair did exactly the same thing. This time I returned them for a refund. Yes, the hum is partly covered by the noise of the fan of my...

Cheap, not all cracked up to be

Strengths: iPod dock, 2.1 Sound, Inexpensive

Weakness: Cheap, poor sound quality, not very aethstic pleasing

I have to admit, for the money I paid $15 after rebate, it's not a bad product. It has decent sound output, an ipod dock which is nice, decent bass, and bottomline its CHEAP. But the problem is that its not great of a speaker set. If it didn't have the iPod dock, this would be no better than any $20 2.1 speaker set you can buy at Bestbuy. It's nice and convieniant to have the dock, but some can...

Amazing Sound for an Amazing Price

Strengths: Kick a** sound, easy to install, mp3 attachment

Weakness: very low humming sound

When I first turned it on I was very impressed with the sound that came out. I'm a music lover and must have the best sound possible when listening to it and this produces it (well at least til I can afford a BOSE system! :) ). It was very easy to install, no software to download, no big manual to read. It comes with a quick install guide, so it's basically plug & play. The only small turn off is...

Logitech X-240 2.1 Speaker system

Strengths: Color and sound, can hook my ipod to it.

Weakness: dock does not charge. Odd place for the buttons.

Friend recommended these speakers and with a price of 20 after rebate they were a steal! Looks nice next to my dell pc and also my dell notebook. Wish it could charge my ipod nano but i can only use it to hear my music. You don't need to have the PC on to listen to the mp3 player which i think is a plus. Overall it was a good investment for my needs.

Logitech X 240 Sound System

Strengths: Compact, good looks, MP3 player holder/imput, strong sound for size, headphone jack

Weakness: hard wired speakers

This is a surprisingly strong speaker system for it's size and price. Very nice where realestate is at a premium (like a dorm or bed room). Doubles as a MP3 player speaker system as well as a charging unit with USB. Maybe an iPhone could be used here (I don't have or know anyone with an iPhone). I can see making the most of your laptop using the speakers.
