Best bang for your buck
Date:May 23, 2013
I have owned these speakers for a few years now and they still work just as well as when I bought them. They have great clear sound with base that never sounds like a blown speaker. They have survived a lot of rough handling and two moves. Great speakers!

Doesn't get much better for $30
Date:September 22, 2012
I bought a set of these early 2010 I think, come September 2012 they are still working exactly the same as when I bought them (minus the dust buildup)
The bass is adequate for speakers this size, for those that disagree, your media player settings are wrong or you have Tone set too low on the speakers themselves.
When I bought these, they were intended to only be a temporary solution, but 2 and a bit years later I still use them.

8/10 because no other $30 set of speakers could possibly come close in both build quality and sound performance
my only complaint are the cables, I'd prefer them to be modular so they can be adjusted depending on you desk placement, but for $30 thats probably asking too much

x-140 Not as advertised
Date:August 16, 2012
These speakers are simply not as advertised. There's little to no bass and my laptop alone puts out better overall sound. Looks are deceiving when it comes to these spkrs. I paid $30.00 for them, but they are only worth $9.99 maybe. I should have known better-you get what you pay for. I recommend spending the money and buying better quality. If you have very low expectations, buy the Logitech x-140's.

For this price you really can't beat them. These speakers have loads of depth in the audio and sound extremely crystal-clear. Very nice.

really cool and reasonbly priced speakers
Date:May 5, 2012
First of all the design is very cool and stylish.
it also produces a lot of sound even though my computer is 9 years old- released in 2003.
its very easy to use and install; at first there was little sound; but then after looking at the instruction manual- you just have to go to your volume control and put the sound up.
i got it for £20 from micro anvika and would highly recommend it epically in recession. it also has a couple of cool features.

Good sound for the size and price...
Date:March 23, 2012
A major oversight in the product packaging is the failure to mention that these speakers are 110-120V 60Hz AC powered, leading to confusion when non tech savvy customers compare the X140 product features to similarly priced products which are USB powered. I was specifically searching for a small set of AC powered speakers for use with my laptop, and I had to open the box in order to confirm that the X140 speakers are AC powered -- which was exactly what I wanted.
Design and Ergonomics -- splendid for the price.
Quality of construction -- very good.
Features -- I would prefer separate bass and tone controls, but I adjusted the X140's tone knob first, and then used my laptop's built-in EQ control to tweak the tone.
Ease of Use and Instruction Manual: Totally straightforward and simple.
Sound -- Very good, considering the size of these speakers. I wish that the polypropylene dome voice coil covers were instead made of metalized Mylar to improve the high frequency response in the 10 to 20 kHz range. The passive bass radiators do manage to fill a moderately sized room with decent yet somewhat muddy bass. This is due to the polypropylene cone construction of the speakers. Paper speaker cones would result in cleaner bass. With these design tweaks, these speakers would deliver superb sound for their size and without infringing on any competitor patents.

You get what you pay for.
Date:February 3, 2012
I got these speakers over a year ago for about $30 CDN. Nice, simple and cheap, and the frequency range is decent for such small speakers. They are also aesthetically pleasing to me, as their design is simple and unobtrusive.
However, I did run into a quality-control issue with these a few months after I purchased them. Any time a bassy noise was heard through them, they would make a crackling sound. I eventually got tired of this occurrence, and tracked the cause (voiding the warranty in the process) to the speakers rattling a very poorly-soldered connection in the right speaker when bass notes were played.
The positive power wire coming in from the left speaker was just sitting in its hole in the PCB, tinned, but with no solder blob on the PCB or the wire. When completely idle, this wire was making electrical contact with the PCB, but any vibration would cause it to briefly bounce and break this contact. A quick dab with my soldering iron fixed it up real nice, and I haven't had any problems since, but this is an issue that most people would have chalked up to "broken" and had the speakers replaced.

Glad to get different speakers
Date:January 16, 2012
When i first got to college i knew i wanted speakers that would be loud and play most types of music but not go too deep into my wallet. these speakers are not it, i wish i would have not paid full price, most i would have paid is 10. they have no bass what so ever, and they really do not play loud at all. they were a waste of money, i ended up buying new speakers from Cyber Acoustics. they cost a little more but blew these speakers out of the water.

Great speakers at an affordable price!
Date:January 6, 2012
For the mere $30 that these cost, they are a great set of speakers for someone who wants good quality at a cheap price. That and you have a two year warranty. Yeah, the sound isn't perfect as far as bass, but if you have a problem with it, but something that comes with a sub woofer. If there is one thing that I would like to see changed, I would like to have seen a label on the speakers to know which one is left/right. Other than that, I would definitely recommend these to a friend! I have always had good to great experiences with Logitech in the past, so hopefully these won't disappoint.

Great Budget Desktop Speaker

Logitech X-140 Multimedia Speakers (2.0)
These are good speakers for the price. Got a pair to 'replace' some old Logitech speakers I had. Good overall design, for anyone wondering, the speaker 'grill' covers are of the 'metal mesh' type.
Output volume is adequate, I do have a bit of a hearing issue but still the output okay when I'm listening right by the speakers while working on the computer. However, if Logitech want to excel in this I'd go for doubling the output capacity.
There is a slight bias in sound output in favour of bass, which I think would be ideal for most people listening to music, but not so good for audio-books (which I listen to a lot). That said there is a 'tone' adjustment that can take the edge off the bass and treble for that matter (and can also adjust bass in the computer player itself if needs be) so in all I'm very pleased with the output. That said, reducing the bass/treble tone also reduces the overall volume.
Stereo separation is superb – way better then the old Logitechs I have – once the balance is set, sound seems to be dead in centre of the speaker pair, very good.
There is a jack socket for headphones on the front of one of the speakers. There is also a jack input socket. This is very useful for plugging in portable mp3 player (or whatever else) and having the sound coming out of the Logitech speakers. I use this quite a lot and it is a very handy feature to have.
My negatives for them are:
The volume turn knob also acts as the on/off switch. In itself that isn't an issue, however, when switching on, a fairly loud popping sound is produced. This is a minor negative. When adjusting the volume while playing no sound artifacts are produced. (I'd add that after a while, at least on the speakers I have this popping sound on switch on does reduce a fair bit.)
The on/off light is a red colour, I'd rather have it green. A minor negative.
The volume and tone knobs have only a small recessed dimple in their surface to indicate where, by touch alone, in the turning-range the knobs are located. In practice I find that can't feel either of them with my fingers. This is something I'm amazed Logitech have never addressed with their speakers – designing the knobs with some *prominent raised part* on them that makes it possible to tell by touch alone where in the turning-range the knobs are currently located. I'd say that *for these components* (and only these components) this is a major negative. If trying to adjust in the dark you can't actually feel with your hand where the knobs are in terms of the range they can cover. (My old Logitechs, though the knobs were of different design, suffered badly too over this lack of design consideration.) Come on Logitech, get it right once and for all – the blind will praise you, so too will the sighted.
Absence of a 'balance' knob' which I find very useful as I have a hearing issue that means it isn't unusual for me to want to adjust the balance. I've always hoped that Logitech would get round to producing a speaker with separate on/off, volume, bass, treble and balance knobs. (Though would again note that once balance is set to suit yourself via whatever player software or device you are using stereo separation is superb.)
Could do with an extra metre of cable to allow the speakers to be further separated from each other. (However, the supplied cable is adequate.)
Overall I'd give these small speakers a 'pretty good' recommendation. Sound-wise, great for the price – but double the output wattage would get this to a 'very good'. Design-wise just a couple of issues over detail that could be easily addressed, overall 'good'.

Flat panel monitor speakers are always tinny and sub-par in audio quality. For a bargain price these Logitech speakers really do a good job. Nice full, rich sound even at low volume levels.

Great Speakers for its price
Date:April 23, 2011
I was looking for a cheap set of speakers and came upon this. I mostly listen to acoustic/alternative/rock music and it provides wonderful sound. and for a little over $30 with tax I think this is a great purchase, I had mine for almost a year now!

Everythiong I'd Hoped for...and More
Date:April 22, 2011
I purchased a 22 inch LCD/LED TV and the sound was tinny. Bass tones made the audio buzz and I feared the TV was defective. Fortunately, the set has a headphone jack so I knew that adding speakers was an option.
These speaker provide full, rich sound with plenty of bass to satisfy my needs and correct all audio problems inherent in my smaller TV.
If only my TV had a switchable outlet so the speakers could turn on and off with my one-touch cable box power button my set up would be ideal but that's not the speakers' fault. They are a fabulous deal for 30 bucks!
AND...I didn't even realize it had the input jack to use with CD players and other equipment. I couldn't be more pleased.

Awesome Speakers! Awesome Sound!
Date:November 19, 2010
I've had these exact speakers for 3 years now and they are still going strong. They produce awesome sound that is very crisp and clear. I use these not only with my PC, but my Xbox 360 too - gotta love the AUX port on the front of these. They also are very durable because my kitty chews on them and knocks them off the desk daily and it doesn't phase these things. These speakers also have a nice design that doesn't look like they are part of a sci-fi flick like most other speakers do nowadays. Do not hesitate just because they are cheaply priced! They are very well worth it and are most likely one of the best 2.0 speakers you can find.

Resolved a huge problem
Date:September 18, 2010
Just purchased a 19" LCD flat screen HDTV for an eating area in the house. The TV has great video but terrible horrible audio. Only 1.5 watts/speaker output with very little volume and sound was totally flat. Purchased a pair of X-140s and plugged them in to the rear headphone output jack on the TV. WOW, what a difference. Plenty of volume but more importantly, vastly improved audio fidelity. The TV sounds normal now. I was going to return the TV to the store but now I don't have to. The sound is super.

Great Deal
Date:June 13, 2010
This is an excellent product for the price.
I have only two minor issues:
1 .Loud pop when turned on.
2. Feet are not non-slip, which makes plugging or unplugging headphones or an external source a two hand operation. I compensated for this by placing the "right" speaker on non-slip shelving liner. Eventually I will stick on some non-slip feet.
