It’s not like you don’t have enough choices on your desktop but these speakers are interesting for two reasons: Firstly, there is a single USB cable for sound and power (no power brick!) and that leaves your desk clean (there’s a second cable from R speaker to L speaker), which is always welcome. Secondly, the sound is actually really good for this class of speakers. We tried it in an ordinary room and it sounded quite good, which is surprising for a USB-powered pair of speakers. We’re not going to describe in text what it sounds like because it is a bit pointless. We liked it and we recommend that you try it, if you see it in a store somewhere. By the way, Logitech Z5 owners, please leave a comment to help others.
