Logitech OEM Speaker S200
Cheap speakers you wouldn’t touch them right, especially when they’re under £15. We bought these speakers to prove that just because something’s cheap it doesn’t mean that performance or quality is affected.
First of all these are Logitech speakers so there’s the stamp of quality. As soon as the box arrived with these speakers in we were surprised how heavy it was and there was very little packaging there adding weight. It was literally just a brown box and folded cardboard keeping everything in place. So setup was easy just plug the power cable into the mains and plug the speakers into the Sub with one lead and you’re away. What we liked here at Techlounge was the bass volume on the side of the speaker is handy instead of having it on a wire that just gets in your way, or on the sub itself so you have to bend down so you can adjust the bass for each song you listen to.
The overall sound from this setup is great. We found that having the bass and volume half way on the knobs was about the right volume for us. The blue power light is very bright and I can imagine it lighting up a room late at night. Overall we think these speaker are a bargain.

Steve,
Glad you took our advice and are happy with your Logitech speakers.

I bought TWO pairs and both failed miserably out of the box. While the fronts work great both sub-woofers pick up transient noise: buzz and a local french radio station. I tried a different PC to make sure it wasn’t abad luck and same thing happened. Luckily Creative has stopped making this trash and I could use help in finding speakers that don’t work as a radio receiver. WHile some may call this a plus I can’t wait to return this stuff to the blue lagoon.

I bought several sets to use in a multi-office sound system. All of the bass units exhibit hum and radio reception, the level of which varies by proximity to radio station towers. When I tested them at home, the noise level made the system useless. At the office, the noise level is merely annoying. The front right and left speakers are noiseless, so I’ve cut the bass speaker wire on each unit and will substitute one good central subwoofer from another system. I’ve always been a fan of Logitech speakers (I own Z3’s and Z2300’s), but I was surprised at the poor quality of the S200’s.
The problem might be coming from the mic-level input, but I’ve neither the time nor the inclination to find out.

I have had these a few years and they are excellent quality. The subwoofer is amazing. It gives a great deep bass sound.
