I bought this headset because it was one of the cheapest that I could find. When it arrived it was simple to plug and play. I use it for playing games online. Quality is not bad at all considering how cheap this item is. For those looking for a cheap solution to communication online this is a great deal.

Price is right
Good quality for the price, used for PC and Telephone with never a problem and very comfortable to wear.


Works great for gaming.
I bought these after my kids broke my other headset. I usually use the headset for work (transcription) and gaming. While these don't work for work, they are perfect for gaming, and for the price, you really can't beat it.


headphone's ok
this headphone was not what I expected which was a headphone with 2 ear pieces, but should have read the specs more closely. Because of this, it is a bit uncomfortable with one end pressing into your head and there is only one option to wear this. however, otherwise the sound is clear, the audio is clear and you can just connect it with ease.

Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (Black)


These won't fit in my Computer bag, but they pack well in my regular clothing bag. They have their own top notch carrying case with a zipper.
The USB power is a plus, no extra cords to carry around. Remember you're traveling. Traveling isn't perfect. just think "fluff and fold. I use my laptop
as my main Computer. When I travel they are the best option. They sound very good, much better than computer. Very nice with the DVD player. They probably could be overdriven
like a lot of small speakers. The front grills are metal and seem to be sturdy. I use them on my Macbook Pro. One major COMPLAINT is: they won't work
with my little Taurus travel usb hub. The speakers must be plugged directly to the laptop or they won't work. I don't know fault that is.
Remember: You can always return them and start over $ 80 at Best Buy

Nice portable speakers.
These speakers sound pretty good. Most people who hear them seem surprised that they are "portable" and USB powered. The buttons on top that control the selection of the next and previous song don't work with my MacBook, but that is just a minor inconvenience. The sound and volume are just fine for filling a small-medium space with decent quality sound but don't expect to shake any windows or hear the music above a loud group of people. I have had these speakers for about three years and they are still working as new. I would recommend these speakers to friends and would buy them again.


Great Speakers
I just received my Logitech V20 speakers and am excited to get them up and running. After hooking them up I was experiencing some mild crackling/distortion sounds coming from the new speakers. However, I was able to figure out why I was experiencing this problem. Go to the CUSTOMER DISCUSSIONS on the Logitech V20 speaker page, where you will find product description, reviews, and customer discussions. After fixing my issue I have found these speakers to be really nice. They are compact, but have great sound and power for their size. I would recommend these speakers to others who are shopping around. They are alittle pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for. I hope this review helps people who are undecided.


I bought these speakers twice!
We were so happy with this speaker purchase, that we bought a second set as a housewarming gift for a friend. Recommended.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom All-in-One Network Music Player / Wi-Fi Internet Radio

Logitech Squeezebox Boom All-in-One Network Music Player / Wi-Fi Internet Radio


I have a windows xp computer in my finished basement / man cave with a few hundred gigs of music sitting on the music drive. It connects to my router through a wireless G connection & I have the squeezebox boom in my master bedroom on the night stand. It's 100% perfect for a bedroom or kitchen.

I have worked as a sound reinforcement engineer, and dj in the past, so I'm picky about sound quality. It doesn't need to be 100% accurate, but it had better not have any annoying rattles, and when I put on some sub 100hz heavy drum & bass music like Dj? Acucrack or Enduser, I expect to hear the bass all the way down to the bottom. I was skeptical that speakers so small could deliver. The week prior to purchasing my squeezebox, I purchased a set of m-audio audiophile monitor speakers which are 1 inch larger & have a higher quality class of amplifier than this device, and I was let down by their bass performance. I have to say, despite seemingly common sense and my skepticism, I was 110% blown away by the quality of sound that they packed into these little speakers. The squeezebox boom has the best bass reproduction of any small system. I managed to get it on closeout at a major retailer's bankruptcy liquidation sale for 50% off. After having it for a couple months, I would gladly pay full price to replace it if it ever broke.

If anybody has sound problems with this device, then it's a problem with the source material, period.

My only gripe is the lack of usb / flash card reader. Without one, the device doesn't seem 100% reliable as an alarm clock. There's just too many things that could fail if using it as an alarm clock without one.

That & wireless config was annoying. I vaguely remember having to convert the password from decimal to hexidecimal in order to get it to work.

Strikes and Gutters
Being a radio enthusiast I was excited to try the Boom. My primary use is streaming live radio broadcasts. Although the Boom gives good sound, I returned it and purchased the Squeezebox Radio, which costs one hundred dollars less and is a far superior radio.

The Boom's menu is choppy and cumbersome to navigate. Design is uninspired. Build quality is average. The remote is nice, of course, but it doesn't solve the choppy navigation. After an evening of listening, I knew I loved wi-fi radio, but that this was not going to be my unit.

So I took it back and opted for the next generation, the Radio, whose audio (though through a mono speaker) is to be reckoned as sublime. Jazz with Bill Perkins on WRTI Temple Public Radio, 6-9 EST, though the Radio is a Platonic ideal of a listening experience. One cannot imagine a more perfect radio situation in the history of radios.

I do not know what listeners to individual mp3 music collections will think of the Radio, but radio lovers, who seek more than mere audiophilic titillation, will recognize its brilliance immediately. The art deco design and build quality are smart and appreciated.

Forget the Boom. Get Plato's Radio.


Wow Awesome!
Purchased this unit for my bedroom and very suprised on the sound quality of this small unit. Love it's ability to play internet music & stream music from my computer. I was able to download an app on my Moto Droid & now I can control everything from my phone anywhere in the house via wifi. I love this unit so much, I have ordered the Squeezebox Duet for my home stereo system & will update on how that goes. I just have one complain, this is kinda pricey. But I guess you you get what you pay for. Highly recommend this!


A Very Reasonably Priced Terrific Player
The following review contains two parts, the first part id related to this player, and the second part is related to amazon.com...

I bought this player as a gift to my friend, and my sole motivation is my experience with my Logitech Transporter. If you are on market looking for a WiFi music player, please give this gem a chance. I do not have any complain about it at this price level, it even exceed my expectation! Having said these...

When I got the package, open the traditional amazon.com brown box... I found that the seal tapes has 2 layers... So, I carefully removed the top layer, and found out the other layer as seals had been cut open! Open the box, and check what's happening inside the box, I found that the BOOM from amazon.com is NOT BRAND NEW! It is an used unit (with a tiny scratch on the remote control), and I do not believe my trusty amazon.com sell me an open-boxed BOOM as a brand new merchandise! Like I mentioned earlier, this is a gift that I want to give to my friend, this unit is completely un-acceptable! 5 stars for Logitech, but 0 stars for amazon.com.

Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Rose Pink)

Filed Under (Logitech) by admin on 03-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , ,


I wasn't really in the market to buy a mouse. But when I saw this pink cordless Logitech at another retailer I had to have it. And, for an impulse buy, I'm very pleased with it.

I already have a GE cordless mouse but in metallic pink. So the Logitech was a bit more in cost. However it is a very solid mouse and goes with my pink hardware (well, hardware with the Pink Tranquility theme).

Some of the things I like is that it uses 1 AA battery rather than the two AAA batteries that my other mouse uses. Plus it even has a battery indicator to let me know if I need to pop in a freshly-charged NiMH. Also it used an invisible LED as opposed to the visible red LED. And it handles just as well as the GE so I'm not complaining. I didn't bother downloading and installing the Logitech-specific drivers. It works right out of the box since the Logitech has an included AA alkaline battery.

So between my two mice this one works just as well. I don't ask much from a mouse as long as it can move the pointer with no problem. I highly recommend this mouse for netbook use when one doesn't want to deal with a touchpad for precision work.

Awesome!! Super fast shipping & Product
Wow This little mouse saved my hands It works great and it is the best I have ever used ! Thanks for the Super Fast shipping and a great price too !!


Good!
It is a good cordless optical mouse. Fits well in my palm. No drivers needed in Windows and it looks cool. My only wish is they shouldve made the receiver shorter. In addition, it doesnt look good when it is tucked underneath the mouse. It would be better if I could "hide" the receiver "inside" the mouse.


Gotta love Logitech
I have always been a huge fan of Logitech products, as they never seem to let you down. I was in the market for a new wireless mouse to go with my new awesome laptop and I knew I wanted a Logitech. When I saw the decorative outer shell, I knew not only was it going to be functional, but it would be pretty to look at as well.

What I didn't expect from this mouse was that it works wonderfully well just sitting on my lap, while wearing flannel pajama pants. It also worked amazingly well on the arm rest of my chair.

I do like the fact that it's not a huge mouse and does fit comfortably in those of us who have smaller hands and it's great that it only takes one battery and lets you know when it's time to change the battery. The mouse also houses the USB connector on the bottom, which will make it a lot easier when I have to pack up the laptop, as I won't have to worry where I put the USB port. It's a great little mouse and I would highly recommend it.


Everything you can expect in a low-priced wireless notebook mouse
My mouse ran pretty well... until I spilled a mug full of sugary tea got on it. But, my clumsiness aside, this is a good working mouse. It's nice and compact for carrying with your netbook. However, you need to weigh its portability with the size of your hands and how comfortable the small mouse will be.

Keaboard
Priced at B00006HMPH.50 whats the risk? The problem is the lettering on the keys is too small and hard to read. Compared with all my other keyboards it has much smaller letters. As I am a hunt and peck typer small letters are a big problem for me. Price was great and delivery was very good. As the price down to B00006HMPH.50 I believe the offerer knew the problem. It works fine and has advanced features and for typers that don't look at keys its should be great. Troy Huggins


Very Good Keyboard
If you go to a regular store those keyboards are simply not available.

This is a keyboard for work and not for entertainment and serves the purpose just right.

Very high comfort level.

Logitech USB Notebook Speakers
Overall I am satisfied with these speakers. They are easy to set up and there aren't a lot of wires to clutter your work space since they are USB driven. They also look nice. My only complaint, and it is not a big one, is the volume control on the speakers themselves. Very poor volume control. I had to add the volume button to my notification area so that I can control the volume that way. It is not a big deal and that gives me control of my laptop's volume more efficiently. The speakers have decent sound although at the higher volume they sound rather tinny. I had a larger set of HP speakers that sounded better but they had way too many wires. So I am satisfied with these Logitech speakers and would recommend them to anyone with limited work space.


Nice Laptop Option
Small but sturdy, connects with a single usb cable. While I'm not an audiophile, these speakers are a 100% improvement over the pitifully weak built in speakers on my toshiba laptop. Not a replacement for home stereo system, but now I can listen to my music.


Remarkably effective
These speakers are remarkably effective for their size. I really like the fact that they're USB powered and do not need a separate power supply. For my needs, they're perfect.

Logitech Cordless Headset for PC & Mobile Phones


Ok, I also had to chime in with these one liner reviews like "bad bluetooth, no go well" and stuff.

I've owned this one and the last generation (which I thought was better).

Here are the pros:

- Great sound (receive and transmit). People can't tell I'm on a headset which almost never happens with any other product.
- Noise canceling actually really works great! Works so well, sounds passable to the called party on the highway with the windows sunroof open
- Easy simple controls

CONS:
- Not comfortable for long periods of time. I could never get it to feel comfortable
- Looses link to phone occasionally and you have to turn it on and off again to rediscover. It seems to do this more near the end of the battery charge, but does it full charge too.
- Ear loop eventually breaks

The generation before this was even more uncomfortable, but sounded even better. That one wasn't as poorly constructed and would have lasted a while longer but I lost it. It also suffered from drop outs.

I would not use this for computer usage..there are other products more suited for that. It is clearly meant to be a cellular device, don't know why they are marketing it any other way.

Logitech cordless headset
I've not used this item with my laptop, but the purpose for a cordless headset with a cell phone has been very successful. It is not as comfortable as the one I previously owned, quality is same, product is made as well as any small item of the like. I wouldn't drop it often. Setting up was with ease.


Overall this is a good product
The ease of use and comfort of the product is better than I expected. Sound quality is good. The only feedback I've heard was there was an echo for the person I was talking to. I turn the volume down, which reduced the echo, but made it a little difficult to hear when there's ambient noice. I would recommend.


Hmmmmmm
I bought this product for skype applications and on first attempt after installation software was not able to make it work. I called Logitech and they were unable to as well. They suggested I had a defective unit. The company I purchased from graciously sent another device and I was able to reinstall the software and utilize with ease using the Skype application. I was very pleased. Additionally, the device could be used as a bluetooth headset for my cell (which was much easier to hook up and worked fine). The problem came when I tried to use for my skype application last nite. I shut off the phone, as directed, intiated skype and made a call that did not work (yes I checked all the audio settings). I am perplexed. I will explore whether my laptop's bluetooth fuction is the culprit. At this point, I wish I would've paid 20 bucks more for the other headset I was considering. The verdict is still out but feeling a bit frustrated, B

My experience: great for Mac OS X and Windows XP -- even the preferences pane works great under OS X!

Bought one for my wife's Windows XP (SP3) laptop. Liked it so much I bought one for my iMac running Snow Lepoard (OS X 10.6.2). Downloaded Logitech Control Center (LCC) 3.2 for my iMac, and the software has worked wonderfully. I can reassign functions and keystrokes to all six buttons plus the left and right "scroll buttons" of the wheel. (So I consider it really an eight-button mouse.)

See below for the functions that can be assigned. Button assignments can be for a specific application, or "global" (for all applications that don't have specific assignments).

Here's one tricky thing to know: when selecting the application for special button assignments, select either the .app file itself or its alias (symbolic link), depending upon how you plan to launch the app! If you select the .app from /Applications while assigning button functions, and then launch the app via a symbolic link, your button assignments will not be in effect. Simple to fix by going back to assign and selecting the symbolic link instead.

A perfect fit for my medium-sized hand and my holding style. The tracking is great, it feels like a substantial, quality unit, and best of all uses a standard battery size. Use rechargable AAs or alkaline AAs. The latter lasted over 9 months (I think actually it's been a year) before they needed replacing, and we don't usually turn the mouse off when we're done with it! I like the scroll wheel set to "free-spin" mode the best. With the wheel in the "click, click" mode, the clicks seem a little coarser than I would normally like.

I've got the USB receiver plugged into my keyboard so I can't supply any good range information right now.

"Functions" that can be assigned to any key (under Mac OS X) include:
- nothing
- click (single, double, triple, right, and middle clicks)
- advanced click (single, double, and triple clicks, and click lock, all with key modifiers)
- cruise
- horizontal scroll
- keystroke (apparently any keystroke, with any combination of ctrl, alt, command and shift modifiers)
- modifiers (configure a button to generate ctrl, alt, command or shift)
- open: application, document, folder or web page (URL)
- back
- forward
- cover flow
- display control
- eject CD
- end session
- expose, dashboard, and spaces
- one-touch search (spotlight, finder, google, yahoo, or custom URL)
- quick look
- screen capture
- sound control
- switch application
- zoom (even for buttons)

Okay, it's a mouse and it does what mice do. Point & click. Ba da bing.

I wasn't sure about how I might like the free-spooling wheel (which you can set to traditional mode if you don't like that), but have decided I like it. You're thinking how you might use it to scroll down long pages, but it turns out that the fast spinning is most often used scrolling back to the top of pages for me. I might read my way down a long page and then spin the wheel and zip back to the top to reach the navigation.

I have seen intermittent issues (not that often) when it's less responsive than it should be, but I can't tell if the interference might be a cordless phone, the wifi, the fact that its receiver is behind my desk or what.

On ergonometrics, I replaced a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2 (whose wheel got ultra stiff making it unusable) with this new Logitech mouse, which is more narrow. I wish it were wider for my hands.


Comfortable Easy to Use Wireless Mouse
Logitech makes some great mice, and this is no exception. Plug it in and it works. Fits my hand well (typical size male hands). Buttons have a solid feel. You can turn the "clicks" in the scroll wheel on and off, which is a nice option depending on what you're scrolling. I'll be interested to see how long the batteries last.

Logitech Z-10 2.0 Interactive Speaker System


I'm old-school about my music. I want to accurately re-produce whatever the sound engineer mastered in the studio. That means Hi-Fi, which means big-heavy speakers with flat, accurate response through the audio range.

The trouble is, that making these types of systems is really expensive. It's much cheaper to put a fat, flabby subwoofer and some tinny tweeters into some cheap plastic boxes and advertise it as 'better' because it has a subwoofer.

When I listen to the majority of stereo systems (pc or loungeroom) I'm horrified by the soggy, overpowering bass, harsh tinny treble, and either no midrange at all or worse, midrange overpowered by the resonant frequency of the plastic speaker housing.

Sadly, I think that gen-Y have gotten used to this as being the pinnacle of audio reproduction (never having heard REAL hi-fi). I was, therefore, shocked and delighted to hear some REAL hi-fi from the Z-10's.

This is exactly what I want out of a great speaker - accurate reproduction of the original music. Every time I listen to them I'm impressed, every note in the range expressed exactly as intended.

A truly rant-worthy product ;)

Customer Reviews


Audio engineer review
I just opened the box and turned them on, and they are truly awesome. True, the speakers have some noise you can hear when no music is playing, but the audio quality is great, the touch controls are cool, and they are REALLY well made, HEAVY SPEAKERS, THICK THICK THICK cords! YAY, they won't short out like my crappy harmon/kardons. Great stereo imaging. Killer price, too. Hey, I can't believe the bass is so good without a woofer. I can't stop touching them.


Logitech Z-10 Laptop USB Speakers
Lacking the thunderous bottom end of a subwoofer, but possess a full-bodied, warm sound. Perfect for classic rock.
Nice display that shows not only song info but also a clock is a plus.


Best computer speakers period
I may not have the ears of the top audiophiles, but still I'm going to claim of the excellent sound quality. These are the best computers speakers in my opinion. I bought them refurbished at a lower price. I'm happy to say that despite that, the Logitech driver was easy to find for windows, the speaker's buttons control my media player Winamp very well.

I love the look and the light touch. If you are upgrading your computer, getting these and maybe a dinovo edge keyboard is like the rolls royce setup.

The USB connection is nice because you can trust the beefiness of the cable and the accurate connection over maybe a cheap sound card, or on board audio port's quality. You still get an analog line input for things like smaller media players. They look so beautiful bookending my dual monitor setup. It's quality you will be happy with for sure.


Great sound!
This is one of better computer speaker that I had. The sound is incredible. LCD screen is not very sensitive at times.

I was looking for a solid mouse that is symmetrical because I am a lefty. Although others here have complained about the light touch on the side buttons, I have not had any trouble with that. It is definitely full size, I've tried several laptop size mice and they start to make my wrist and forearm hurt after only a few days (full time work). I've found this to be solid mouse for the price, nice feel and comfortable for long days at work.
