Love this speaker
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this sound system. Bluetooth capability makes it so you can play music from your phone, or you can wire it into your computer. I love playing my music out loud while my game is coming through my headset set. 10/10

Blown Away
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been a while since I've purchased speakers - my last audio purchase was a sound bar about 3 years back for $250 - so I didn't know what to expect for under $100. I wanted a sound system that could hook up to my PC physically, and my Bluetooth Record Player in the next room over (I'm not an audiophile, I just collect Video Game soundtracks, so the BT connection was my choice for now). I thought, 'if they suck I'll just take them back and connect to my sound bar' - but I fell in love with it immediately when I get it out of the box. The speakers look clean (I love the ability to turn them on their sides with the included platform), and the size if perfectly compact, blending into my setup easily. Connection was easy to both my PC and my BT Record Player. I would go with this model compared to the other because the Wireless Controller is an incredible addition to the experience. It makes switching audio modes quick and simple, and offers easy access for audio controls, too. Last but not least - the audio quality. I know I said I'm not an audiophile, but I know when things sound good. Everyone in the apartment was blown away and in love with the warm tones and bass you can feel in your chest. 5 stars, A+, 100/100 - if you're looking for a sound system under $100... what are you waiting for?

Rock & Roll!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker set rocks! It's a great value for the quality. Negative reviews must be mostly from nit-picking about the term "wireless," the wireless controller itself, or from audiophiles with unrealistic expectations. Firstly, yes, it is wireless, because it has Bluetooth, and a wireless controller. The satellite speakers themselves are not wireless, they plug into the subwoofer like most computer speaker systems. Second, I read a lot of complaints about the wireless controller. It comes with a plastic protector with the functions printed on it. (See pic) We will just leave it there until we have them memorized, and I also have a picture now in case we forget a function, but really it's not hard to remember. The only difficult part about that is the functions being different if you use the USB input. These are obviously inexpensive speakers. But you get 3 different ways to connect, Bluetooth, 3.5 mm audio jack, (cable included) and USB. And you get a great sounding system with wireless control. It doesn't look bad, either. These more than fill our bedroom with sound, they enhance everything we're listening to. We use them mainly for watching movies and TV shows, which it is excellent for. The dialog isn't drowned out by the lows. They aren't bad at all for listening to music, either. They sound almost as good as our Sony sound bar system that cost almost 4x as much! Very pleased with this purchase, I'm glad I waited for these instead of settling for a different set.

I May Have Paid A Little TOO MUCH
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sound Great But They Are Advertised To Be "WIRELESS" So Makes You Think You Will Need Batteries Or Just The Power Cable And Everything Else, Cable Free. But I Was A Little Dissapointed To See each Speaker Has A Cable Connecting To The Sub-Woofer. Its Nice To Be Able To Pair ANYTHING bt* to Them. And Switch Between PC/Laptop And Phone Sound. No Need To Go Behind TV's Or Desk To Fish Around For The 3.5mm Jack

Posted .Hello HouseOwl,
I am sorry that the Z407 is not precisely what you expected. Typically, what you describe is called portable speakers, but I understand that when we see Bluetooth, we expect no cables. I will pass on your review for revision. Logitech appreciates your product review. - Leo from Logitech

Far better than expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Far better than I expected for $80. Replaced an older Altec Lansing 3-piece set of speakers that I’d paid twice the price for 15 years ago. Connectivity was a breeze & sound beats the Altec Lansing’s by a long shot. Really glad I bought these.

awful.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a horrible experience. These came in yesterday and the box was absolutely battered. I thought this was odd, but after I plugged them in and set them up I couldn’t even get through a single song without the speakers skipping 50 times. I started messing with the cables to see if it would fix it and it did intermittently, but they’d continue to skip if I moved the cables ever so slightly. Very unfortunate. I was excited about them

Incredible Versatility, Sound, and Value
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using Logitech's entry-level $25 computer speakers for years and had never really given any thought to upgrading them until I saw the Z407 announced. I had to do a double-take when I saw the price: a subwoofer, Bluetooth, and wireless controls for under $80? Seemed too good to be true, but I'm happy to report that Logitech has delivered a superb speaker system at a remarkable price. === SETUP === The system comes in a compact but surprisingly heavy box. Be prepared to remove a lot of packaging and wrapping as the box is tightly packed. Unfortunately, the only setup and operating instructions provided are printed on the flaps at the top of the box, and it consists entirely of pictures and no text. Luckily, it's pretty straightforward to connect the system to a computer using the standard aux cable (included). The subwoofer basically acts as the hub of the system, with both speakers connecting directly to the subwoofer, and then the subwoofer plugged into your power outlet. There are certainly a lot of wires to deal with, so you'll want to have some cable ties handy or a desk big enough to hide the wires behind. My only complaint is that it's not immediately obvious how you switch the system between wired and Bluetooth modes. When I first plugged it into my computer I thought I had received a defective unit. Turns out you have to flip over the wireless control dial and select the desired input using a very small dedicated button. If you want to switch to Bluetooth, there's a Bluetooth button. There is a picture demonstrating this on the box, but again, without any written instructions, it's easy to miss. I love how the speakers can be positioned either vertically or horizontally based on your desk size or personal preferences. There is a removable stand for each speaker that makes it very easy to switch orientations. === CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS === The system supports Bluetooth, 3.5mm wired, and USB connections. Everything is controlled through the wireless dial. The dial looks neat and functions just fine, but you'll probably want to download the full user guide from Logitech's website so you can learn all of it's functions and what the each light color means (white = USB; purple = 3.5mm; blue = Bluetooth). The only way to switch between these three connections is via the buttons on the bottom of the dial. I really wish there was an iOS app or Windows application that would make this easier. Rotating the dial adjusts volume. To adjust the bass level, press and hold the dial for 2 seconds until you hear a tone, and then rotate the dial to adjust bass. Unfortunately, there no way to tell how many levels of adjustment there are (for either volume or bass). Additionally, the dial does not adjust the volume directly on your computer, so you have two volume levels to consider: whatever your computer is set to, and the volume level of the Logitech speakers set by the wireless dial. You can also control audio tracks using the dial, but only when connected via USB or Bluetooth. One click = play/pause; two clicks = skip forward; 3 clicks = rewind. There is so much going on with the dial that I had to print out the user manual from Logitech's website to keep on my desk. I'm sure I will memorize all of it eventually. === SOUND QUALITY === Simply put, I don't think you'll find better sounding computer speakers in this price range. The down-firing subwoofer adds some much-needed oomph compared to a cheaper two-speaker system. And luckily, the subwoofer is relatively small and should fit in almost any setup. With the bass turned up about two thirds of the way, the lows on this system rival those of an entry-level TV sound bar. As someone who has been working from home for the past several months, I always play music from iTunes while working at my computer. And the Z407 truly fills my apartment with rich, full-bodied sound. It won't rival premium, multi-channel home theater systems, but for a 2.1 computer speaker system, I'm really blown away by the audio quality. Vocals and mids are crisp and not drowned out by the subwoofer. The bass is just punchy enough so as to not completely annoy my neighbors. === OVERALL === If you're looking for computer speakers that are a step above the average $20 or $30 pair, then the Z407 is an excellent option. It can play audio from virtually any source over 3.5mm, USB, and Bluetooth. It is stylish, compact, and offers incredible audio quality for the price. The wireless dial has a bit of a learning curve, and I wish there were some sort of app to control the system -- but other than that, there's very little to complain about. Highly recommended!

All the essentials and then some, but not perfect
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a set of desktop speakers to be truly great, they have be compact enough to fit on a desk and sound great. It may sound simple, but achieving both of those together requires a delicate balancing act and there aren't many speaker sets that can do it. This Logitech Z407 set delivers good (not great) sound in a versatile package that includes multiple connectivity options and a Bluetooth wireless remote control. The speakers fit nicely on a desk, with a subwoofer that doesn't take up too much real estate, either. Are they great? No. Are they a great deal at $80? Unquestionably. At this price, I can recommend them to anyone looking for good sound and great versatility. ~~Hardware and Setup~~ The Logitech Z407 comes packaged in a handsome, compact cardboard box that's small enough to fit under your arm as you carry it out of the store. The inner flap of the box provides a set of pictorial instructions that are enough to help you get started, and the components are packed smartly within. There are two satellite speakers with long cords that end in coax audio plugs, a subwoofer unit with a built-in power cord, a 1/8"-to-1/8" audio cable about 6 feet long, the Bluetooth control puck, and a set of AAA batteries. I had the whole thing out of the box and set up on the desk in about 5 minutes. Following the pictorial directions, I inserted the batteries into the bottom of the control puck, connected the coax plugs from the right and left speakers and plugged the subwoofer in. Then I pressed the Bluetooth button on the bottom of the puck for a couple seconds, which allowed my PC to find and pair to it. That's it! I was able to play music through the speakers within about 7 minutes of opening the box. The first thing I noticed about the speakers were the satellites feel really cheap in hand. Each one is basically an hollow plastic pill-shaped shell with a driver at one end. It's nice that they're able to be oriented sideways or upright, because it provides some versatility. I chose a horizontal orientation to have one speaker positioned under my second monitor. In this position, the satellite speakers are about 8" wide, 4" tall and 3" deep. The puck also feels fairly cheap, even with the batteries inside providing a little extra weight. It has a nice feel when using the volume and tap controls, but it's definitely not built to withstand a lot of abuse. I hope my kids don't get ahold of it. ~~Usability~~ Like I said above, I had music pumping through these speakers within 7 minutes of opening the box. Setup is pretty intuitive and the pictorial instructions are mostly good enough to fill in the blanks. The control puck is a really nice feature to have in a speaker system at the price. I love being able to control volume and previous/next track without going into any software menus or switching windows/tabs. I also love that the whole setup is virtually wireless on the desktop, as the speaker cables can be attached "behind the scenes" so to speak. I like the o The one thing that I had to take a few seconds to figure out was subwoofer volume control. Pressing the puck down for two seconds switches it from master volume control to subwoofer volume control, and pressing it again lock in the sub volume and returns the control to master volume, but that took me a minute to figure out. Add to this the fact that the sub is turned way down by default, and I spent part of that minute with anemic bass wondering if I got a dud. After figuring it out, I was able to set the subwoofer where I wanted it and all was well. I also tested connecting the speakers to my computer using the 1/8" audio cable and micro USB. Every method of connection works fine, and switching between them is relatively simple (buttons on the bottom of the puck). Most people will just pick one connection type and stick with it. I ended up choosing wired through the headphone jack on my laptop, because it gave the absolute best sound. ~~Sound~~ Here's where the rubber meets the road. If your speakers don't sound good, they aren't good, no matter how many other functions/options they offer. The good news here is these are good-sounding desktop speakers. Not great, but again, for $80, these are perfectly serviceable, especially when connected to an analog output. Getting the speakers set up through Bluetooth was so easy that before I knew it' I'd spent a good deal of time listening to music, and finding myself wondering if these weren't actually very good-sounding at all. I should add that as Bluetooth audio goes, these are perfectly fine, and once your ears attune to the sound, it probably won't sound bad to you at all. But I found myself missing some of the headroom and stereo separation that comes with hi-fi audio. Over a Bluetooth connection, my go-to test tracks felt boxed-in and chopped off at the knees. I see these connect with Bluetooth 5.0, but I'm willing to bet they're not using one of the better audio standards like AptX HD or LC3. Fortunately, trying other connections really opened up the sound. Over my laptop's audio-out/headphone jack, clarity and separation was greatly improved. Not so much that you'd mistake these plastic boxes for true hi-fi speakers, but markedly. Especially with electronic music, these speakers really shine. Tracks from Bonobo's Black Sands sparkled and shone with the extra headroom, and the bass was nice and tight in the mix. The plastic revealed itself a bit on "Come Together" and "Something" from the Beatles' Abbey Road, as Paul McCartney's bass sputtered a bit inside of the cheap speaker shells. Somehow, on the micro USB input, the headroom remained but the mix sounded tight and compressed compared to the analog output. I'm guessing there is some extra signal processing in place for the USB output, and the differences are small but noticeable. I'd prefer to use the USB output because I can put the plug in a hub I already use and keep it away from my hands, but suppose I'll have to make do with the analog output to get the best sounding output. In this case, I would have preferred an audio cable with an angled end so I could run the cord along the outside of my laptop. ~~Final word~~ Again, as an $80 consumer-level set of desktop speakers, these are great, and leaps and bounds ahead of what $80 could buy just a few years ago. Be ready to deal with the relatively fragile plastic feel of the speakers and the puck, and be ready to experiment with inputs and outputs to get the right sound for your ears, or just accept that Bluetooth is easy and sounds okay and go with what's simplest.

Posted .Hi benzy, thank you for the in-depth review! The 80 watts of power joins precise digital signal processing (DSP) to deliver immersive, lifelike sound. Hear the crisp high notes, the powerful mid and low-range, and all the bass you can handle.
