Good Points

Fantastic sound, fantastic bass, stylish looking and doesn't take up too much room on your desk.

Bad Points

Volume control on wired remote has no affect on the volume through the headphone socket.

General Comments

Just got this set of speakers a couple of days ago. The speakers themselves look great on my desk. Nice and small, don't take up too much room on the desk but don't let their small size fool you, there is some serious power from them. Combined with the subwoofer which produces some serious, floor trembling bass, these speakers are well worth the money.

One thing I was very disappointed with, however, was the fact the volume control on the wired remote doesn't have any effect on the headphone socket, it only adjusts the volume on the speakers. This means that if you're listening through headphones you have to adjust the volume through the Windows volume control or through the volume slider on whatever media player (WMP, Realplayer, VNC, etc.)you're using. Considering the headphone socket on the wired remote was one of the reasons I bought this set (I listen to music or play games through headphones a lot), to then find the volume control has no effect on it was a major disappointment to me. My previous set (a fairly cheapo 2.1 set of Fujitsu Siemens "Soundbird" speakers which came bundled with my PC) had this facility so to find that a "big brand" like Logitech doesn't include this facility as standard in this otherwise excellent speaker set was a big letdown for me and hence why it only gets a 7 out of 10 rating from me. If it wasn't for that, these speakers would be getting 10 out of 10 for sure!

If you don't use headphones much, though, and you're in the market for a set of stylish looking speakers which are small and tidy but which pack some serious oomph, but you don't want to break the bank either, then definitely go for this set. You won't be disappointed!
