Party Vibe

My Dad bought some of these the other week. Think they sound wank personally – the bass was too loud even with the sub turned right down (so it will probably piss off the guy in the flat below you) and just generally they sound a bit shit.

They have them set up in currys etc so you can go and hear some if you want.

Dunno what to suggest otherwise though if you’re after computer speakers. The specs aren’t worth the paper they’re written on when it comes to cheap consumer equipment (they’re either irrelevant, or have been got to by the marketing department who leave out important details e.g. the freq reponse of those Logitech speakers may be 40Hz-20kHz but its certainly not flat or even +-3dB across that range), so the best way is to listen to a few pairs. Personally I’d get a pair of cheap whatever’s going on ebay and an amp, you can probably do it for the same price as those computer speakers.

they do the trick… although subs onthem pc surround kits are always rather unbalanced.. too loud in relation to other speakers

i know 2 people with simla logitec speakers … alltho both were just sterio and sub .. the sub is wayyy too loud for the speakers .. unless u have the whole thing turned up then it evens out .. but will piss off people around u if they not like it loud – what u need are these :-

look like a good buy for someone who cant really play loud music (flat) but just wants all round good quality sound for music games films etc. I have no need of CD or DAB or anything else physical.

I reckon it looks like a good deal for £60

I got a 2.1, Creative 2.1 250d THX. I would say get these for around 100 bucks coz they r ace, very clear sound and make the room shake when u turn them up with no distortion whatsoever. They dont sell em anymore though. I think there is Logitech 2.1 that is just as good for about 100. I just looked it up on amazon, Logitech 2.1 z-2300 and its got ace reviews.
