A step up from the little Logitech Z320 is the Z520 – also a 2.0 set, with the same overall aesthetics. Let’s hope it can do better than the Z320’s mediocre results.UFO looks, but with a grilleAs we said in the introduction, the Z520 uses the new Logit...

The Logitech Z520 speakers are desktop stereo speakers designed to be paired with a computer or hooked up to an MP3 player. There is no subwoofer, remote or battery option - just two compact speakers and the wires to hook them up with. With no clever f...

Finished in gloss black with a removable, child-proof metal grille, these wedge-shaped speakers won’t be to everyone’s taste. However, they feel robust and are easy to set up and use – thanks in part to a large on/off/volume dial. Unusually for a two-c...

Logitech's Z520 stereo PC speakers are relatively expensive. The sound they produce is worth the outlay, though; good treble and mid-range response make for accurate and lively musical reproduction. The lack of a subwoofer means the system is suited to PC users looking for a compact, refined system rather than a bass-heavy one.We’ve generally been fans of Logitech’s previous PC speaker line-ups. In the past the company has offered the Z-5, the Z-Cinema and the Z-5500 at reasonable prices.The...

Most of the time, as general consumers, we like to think that the lower the price, the more attractive a product is. In the speaker world, things tend to be a different. As audiophiles, we often like to think that the higher the price, the more attract...

We’ll take the liberty of saying that the trend of “packing” speakers into as small a packaging as available is more than popular. We’ve tested a truly tremendous amount of 2.0 speakers during the past year going for a surround sound or trying to accom...

Damn-good cheap speakers We haven’t auditioned many cheap speaker systems lately. Why? Well, let’s just say we don’t enjoy subjecting our ears to the sonic equivalent of waterboarding. But Logitech has a knack for packing big sound into inexpensive box...
Great sound for the money; very wide soundstage; attractive industrial design.
Not enough bass punch for games or movies; hardwired cables.

You might expect better bass at high volumes for $130, but Logitechs no-frills Speaker System Z520 does make a good office speaker set, offering crisp output at moderate volume levels...

A nice design featuring front-and-back tweeter drivers and a 4-inch subwoofer, along with a lengthy two-year warranty, put the 2.0 Logitech Speaker System Z520 on our radar. Unfortunately, many of those features only produce good sound quality with rat...
