The Logitech Z906 Surround Sound speakers come from a long line of successful speakers released by Logitech over the past decade. The Z906 have some significantly large boots to fill, since the Z5500 were a spectacular set of PC speakers released 6 years ago. So let’s see if new Z906 speakers live up to our expectations.

6 Speakers

The 5.1 speaker system is THX certified, so rest assured there’s some level of audio quality that’s good enough for large rooms. Speaking of which, at 500W (RMS) the entire setup is powerful enough to rock any mid-sized room. Each of the satellites is rated at 67W, while the 8-inch subwoofer itself takes 165W of that power to pump out a very decent amount of bass. Of course, that all depends on the position of the subwoofer in the room.

Like most PC based speaker systems, it’s the subwoofer that takes all the inputs. While normal for such class of speakers, I was actually a little disappointed that the input ports were not in the main control panel. Although, to be fair, the control panel is rather slim and lightweight, so it would’ve been awkward to have so many wires coming out of it, but more on that later.

Connections

On the rear panel we have the place for 5 separate audio sources. Input “1”is for PC, “2”is for RCA, “3 & 4”are Optical and “5”is Coaxial. Apart from that all the 5 speakers and the control unit also plugs into the back of the subwoofer, along with the power being routed through it as well.

The 5 speakers look the same, except the rubber feet on the center speaker are on its side, which is the orientation it’s meant to be kept in. Each of the speaker also has a small hole for you to plug in stands or wall mounts if you so desire. I will say the speakers look rather bland. There’s no sense of excitement, they’re simply designed to be functional, not evoke any other emotion. And this is sadly the case with the entire Z906; nothing looks great, just good enough.

Central Console

Coming down to the central console, as I mentioned earlier it doesn’t have any sort of input; its primary purpose is to show you which source is being played and how it’s being decoded. Depending on your input source, you can have natural Dolby Digital 5.1, direct DTS or 3D Stereo (upconverted from 2-channel sources). There are two more options where you can upconvert from normal 2-channel sources; being 4.1 and 2.1.

Another cool feature of the central console is to show which of the 5 speakers are currently active, so you know what decoding process is being used. This also helps when tuning the speakers (adjusting the volume level of each), although, that’s easily done because only one speaker a time is being played when tuning.

Setting Up

Setting up the system depends on how many inputs you’re going to connect and how large your room is. The supplied cables are 6 feet for each of the satellite speakers, and depending on how well hidden you want them, the setup process can take anywhere from 10 minutes to over half an hour.

Once setup, the only thing left to do is adjusting the volume on each channel, which takes barely 2 minutes. After that select your source and you’re good to go. The only thing you need to be mindful of is the decode selection. Obviously your Bluray player, consoles and PC have 5.1 and DTS decoding built-in, so need to worry about that. Any 2-channel source, like your TV for instance, needs to be used with the 3D decode method to get full virtual surround sound. This is where things can get a bit spotty, as the surround speakers output 2-channel upconverted sound in a somewhat muffled and muddy way. But that’s to be expected given the low fidelity of the source.

The Sound

Coming to actual audio in 5.1 or DTS format, this is where the Logitech Z906 truly shines. Everything is crystal clear, with the satellites speakers packing a nice, punchy bass themselves. Of course the subwoofer provides the vibrating boom you’d expect. I was genuinely surprised at the audio quality and how high the audio can go without the sound ever cracking. Then I remembered they were THX certified, so of course the experience would be nothing less than stellar.

If you’re a fan of Logitech speakers and have used them in the past, or just want to upgrade your existing setup, the Z906 present a great opportunity. Sure they may not look as flashy as some other speakers out in the market, but they are simple to use and easy to setup. The sound quality is really impressive and hooking up to 6 sources is definitely a big advantage in today’s world where we want to connect all of our consoles and media players to on source.

What sets the Logitech apart, however, is that it can quickly ‘switch over’ from being a desktop headset using wireless connectivity, to a Bluetooth headset, which can then be paired with a smartphone or a tablet device. But is it a ‘one headset to rule them all’ then?

Design
Call me spoiled, but I find the Logitech h800 extremely bland and boring. In fact, its appearance is quite deceptive, and can be taken as one of the knock-off brands if not for the properly spelled ‘Logitech’ sticker on the sides.

That’s not to say it does not serve its purpose. The Logitech holds all of its controls on the right ear cup, with the volume rockers, play/pause and the microphone mute button embedded on the center. The inner right-edge has a switcher that changes the headset’s connectivity from wireless and Bluetooth, and a slider to change sound tracks if you are using a media player. The controls might seem crammed but they are quite evenly spaced out and are intuitive to use. If you have used similar headsets before, you shouldn’t have much problem adapting to the Logitech’s ways.

The Logitech h800 also have found a very innovative place to hide the microphone, which is straight under the right ear cup. While we still prefer the Steelseries’ hide-it-inside-the-earcup way of doing it, the Logitech design is functional and works quite well. Unfortunately, the microphone does not auto-mute when it’s shoved back up, the lack of which can be potentially dangerous if you happen to forget to do it yourself. So thread carefully, you must.

Comfort
I usually find the on-the-ear design to be painfully uncomfortable. The ear-cups lay flat on your ear, and the padding has to be just sturdy and soft enough to not hurt. The Roccat Kulo and the Asus HS-W1 failed in doing so and I had little hope from the Logitech h800 to be any more comfortable. It certainly didn’t look to be, at least.

The Logitech are comfortable, surprisingly. It doesn’t claim to have the softest, highest-quality premium padding. It just uses basic foam material on its cans and the headband, and I have to say, it fits in snugly. It does heat up after a while, but that’s normal given that headsets don’t float in the air. Yet.

Performance
The Logitech h800 switches between wireless and Bluetooth connectivity quite smoothly, allowing you to ping-pong between your PC and your music player easily. There is a bit of a delay between picking up connections, but that can be chalked up to a limitation of the technology than the headset itself.

The h800 is a general purpose headset and provides adequate power and performance for its purpose. For music, the headset is quite loud and clear, but lacks the fulfilling, wholesome punch that premium sound drivers provide. My test tacks consisted of various Hindi movie songs, ranging from mild-rock to full-on bhangra to what can be best described as ‘masala-pop’ music. The sound felt compressed and hollow, with the treble falling flat on most occasions. The bass was muddy and sometimes overly done, giving more hollowness to the soundscape.

For gaming, I tried it on two experts – Counter Strike 1.6 and Modern Warfare 3. Here, too, it felt weak, with many effects being ‘left out’ or ‘buried’ under the more prominent ones. It provided decent positioning feedback in Counter Strike, however. Not ‘surround’ by any means, but did the job just fine defining between left and right, which was good enough for my experienced fingers.

Conclusion
For appox. AED 380, the Logitech h800 are a decent buy, especially since it can negate the need to have multiple devices for your music player and your PC. It does lack power but is adequate enough to be a portable solution that is sturdy and can last a good number of hours before it needs a recharge.

The SteelSeries Sensei Pro Grade Laser mouse comes from a long heritage of high-end, precision mice which are used by professional gamers around the world. Today I’ll be looking at this flagship product which adds a host of new features and customization options and comes packed to the brim with the latest in mice technology.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Sensei is the shiny silver back, with a hint of metallic coffee under certain light conditions. The second thing you’ll notice is that the Sensei looks pretty much the exact same as the XAI. So what the Sensei represents is a natural upgrade for users of the XAI mouse. What that also means is that Southpaws now have access to one of the most powerful gaming mice in the market, and don’t have to settle for “second best” as is often the case with other mice manufacturers.

The Sensei also marks SteelSeries’ entrance into the world of fully customizable lights for mice. The back logo, which looks like a gorgeous 8-bit rendition of the SteelSeries logo, can be customized with the full 16.8 million color gamut, with the mouse wheel, CPI light and back logo all capable of showing different colors. The most impressive thing about the colors is that the LEDs that SteelSeries uses is strong enough to define between some of the most obscure colors as well. It’s not just dark and light shades of a specific color, but the entire spectrum from each extreme can be easily seen on the Sensei. So I have Cyan as the logo and Teal on the Scroll wheel, both looking sublime indeed. Obviously changing the CPI button colors also helps me easily distinguish between the sensitivity settings; a very helpful feature when jumping straight into a game.

One of the things I found odd was that the Sensei doesn’t allow for weight customization. This is something that I’m completely fine with, as the weight distribution of the Sensei is nicely centered for all the 102 grams that it weighs, but I know some people mark it as a strike against this pro gaming mouse.

Market trend has changed a lot over the past year and tablets have become the new trend for consumers instead of netbooks. Logitech seems to be adopting to this trend and realized that it was about time they started releasing peripherals for tablets. Although tablets are meant for touch based interface but a keyboard and mouse feel much faster and accurate for those looking to use it for productivity rather than just entertainment. Although some bluetooth keyboards have already been there for tablets, but Logitech Tablet Mouse will be first mouse designed for tablets.

The Bluetooth laser mouse has been made for Android 3.1 and higher tablets. Android 3.1 Honeycomb update expanded the support for Bluetooth and USB peripherals and accessories, and thus this device will not work with older version of Android tablets.

The Tablet Mouse works on nearly any surface and operates at a maximum range of 30 feet. The mouse works as expected on a non-touch screen interface by adding a mouse pointer as well as ability to scroll using scroll wheel. It includes two AA batteries and comes bundled with a travel pouch for protection. The mouse is now available for $50 (180 AED) from Logitech.com.

Although from outside its nearly same, but the updates are inside:

• - The optical sensor is twice as sensitive with a maximum 3,600 DPI resolution. Original MX518  had 1800 dpi.
• - The mouse reports 1,000 times per second over USB, MX518 reported up to 250.
• - G400 will also have configuration compatibility with Logitech gaming keyboards macro G-keys.

The new G400 starts shipping in July for $50 (approximately 180 AED) while the original MX518 you can find for around 120 AED.

The story is a bit different for the Logitech K750 Wireless Keyboard, though. Instead of having you lug around magazines of batteries, it does what your old Casio calculator did back in the days when phones were not a suitable replacement to calculate things – get recharged by sucking out on the Sun. Take that you big heat thingy. Yes, it is solar powered, if you didn’t get my drift. And not only that. The K750 also recharges itself from any light source, be it tube-lights, blubs, and if you can arrange it in such a way, candles.

The best part about the K750, of course, as you can see, is its looks. It’s a sleek, slender beauty to behold. The Mac-white finish and the glossy black cover gives it a gorgeous contrast. It’s truly stunning. Hands off to Logitech for also making the two large solar panels that dons the top portion of the keyboard to actually make it look good. I haven’t seen a better implementation with those around.

The keyboard is extremely slim, too; in fact, it is only slightly bigger than the Roccat Sense mousepad which comes at just 1.35mm high. The keys and the thin profile is very much like that of a laptop and behaves in a similar fashion as well. The generously spaced out keys are silent and punchy, and almost forms a rhythmic beat if you gather a flow. During longer periods of use, the keyboard remained comfortable and the wireless performance never lagged behind.

Again, much like a laptop keyboard, and to accommodate the two solar panels, the multimedia keys are bunched together with the F1 keys. They are accessible by holding the FN key and pressing the desired function. You get access to the default Internet browser, email client, search, calculator, media player, play/pause, rewind/forward, mute and volume controls, sleep mode, and right click.

The best bit about the solar recharge implementation is the on/off switch and the level of light indicator; since it has no official name, I will just call it Sunshine. By pressing the little Sunshine button, either of two little faces will blink up. If the keyboard is receiving sufficient light, a green LED will blink next to the happy smiley. If the keyboard is in a dark environment with less than optimal lighting conditions, like say…you know, the Tbreak office, a red LED will blink next to the sad face. Logitech also offers a Solar app download from the official website that will load up whenever you hit Sunshine. The app will display the battery life, the amount of ‘lux’ the keyboard is receiving (don’t ask, we are not scientist!), and a thumbs up or thumbs down indicating the charge reserve.

According to Logitech, a full charge will last approx. three months, even under completely dark conditions. That should negate the necessity to keep it outside for a sun bath every day; once a month should more than suffice.

While there is nothing to dislike about the keyboard, two minor issues has kept me from giving it a perfect score. Of the two, more prominently is the lack of Num Lock and Capslock LED indicators. The Num Lock is the go-to key to see if the computer is still alive when Windows seemingly hangs. It’s quite unnerving to know that it’s not there anymore. How do I know if my PC is still kicking?

The other problem is the short Shift key on the left side. As a writer, it is extremely important for me to have the Shift key at an easy to reach place so I can CAP letters and words easily without having to resort to Capslock. On the K750, I found it hard to reach some letters from the Shift key, forcing me to either use my other hand for even the nearby keys, or, embarrassingly, to look down to find the key I want to press. There is no excuse for a short Shift key here, it’s a desktop keyboard, and not a laptop one, there is ample of space.

Otherwise, the K750 is truly a great keyboard. It’s comfortable, it’s punchy yet silent, you will never have to worry about batteries anymore and to top it off, it looks beautiful. It’s slightly pricey at $72, but it makes the Sun work for you. That’s worth it alone, right?

To start things off, the M6900 comes with 5 programmable buttons, a 3200dpi sensor with 30g of acceleration, attached to a 1.8m long USB cable with a gold plated connector. Seems pretty simple and straightforward. There are no extra frills attached, which means that the cost is also pretty reasonable.

Picking up the M6900 for the first time, I was surprised at how light it is, coming in at 106 grams, it’s much lighter than the Razer Mamba I use at work. Now performance-wise I didn’t notice any difference between the Gigabyte M6900 and the Razer Mamba, the latter boasting a 5600dpi sensor with 50g acceleration. Of course, I had set the DPI to what my 22” monitor at 1920×1200 resolution could work with without both the mice going haywire.

I must say that in comfort, I found the M6900 better in long term usage than the Mamba, simply because of the wide spread of the Gigabyte mouse, although my old Razer Copperhead still felt better overall. The two main buttons have the same, tinny sort of clicking noise found in many gaming mice nowadays, but the M6900 felt less resistive to clicking than the Mamba, not that this made any difference during my TF2 or WoW sessions.

The button placement for DPI switch is quite easy and intuitive, without it getting in the way. The Forward (4^th) and Back (5^th) buttons, however, are a bit higher on the body than I would have preferred. The Forward button is a little protruded compared to the Back button, and their length means that it’s pretty easy to click them, but in a hurry, the slight movement of your thumb so high up could mean a critical win or loss in games.

All things considered, the Gigabyte M6900 isn’t an extraordinary mouse, but it didn’t set out to set the world ablaze in the first place either. For its price, the M6900 is a solid offering, and if you’re new into competitive gaming, than this is a great place to start.

Logitech today unveiled Logitech Revue™ with Google TV™, a compact, plug-and-play companion box with its Logitech® Keyboard Controller, which together provide seamless control over the Google TV experience and home-entertainment devices. The company’s portfolio of products for Google TV also includes the Logitech® TV Cam and Vid™ HD service for HD video calling from the comfort of one’s sofa. In addition, Logitech is offering the Logitech® Mini Controller for Logitech Revue as well as other applications designed for the Google TV platform.

“Just as we have done with the PC and with home entertainment systems, our role with Google TV is to give people the ability to control and interact with their content and devices with unprecedented ease,” said Gerald P. Quindlen, Logitech president and chief executive officer. “With our line of products for Google TV, Logitech will help redefine the user experience in the digital living room.”

“Logitech Revue with Google TV makes it easy for people to use just one controller to find and enjoy content from a variety of sources – programs from TV providers; the entire Web, including Flash-based games; music, photos and videos from their personal library; and a growing selection of apps,” said Ashish Arora, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s digital home products group. “Logitech not only delivers the Google TV experience for any HDMI-ready TV, but we build on it with exceptional interface devices, control of living room components through Logitech Harmony® Link and enhanced experiences such as video calling in the living room.”

“Google TV combines the power of search, a full Web browser, and Android apps with the TV experience you know and love,” said Mario Queiroz, vice president of product management for Google. “We’re proud to be working with Logitech to launch the very first set of Google TV devices, helping you and me easily access great Web and TV content, all on the same HD screen.”

“Smart TV delivers a truly integrated experience, with broadcast and the Internet united on one screen,” said Wilfred Martis, general manager, Retail CE, Intel Digital Home Group. “The Logitech Revue brings Google TV to existing televisions, and also offers video calling to provide a new dimension to home entertainment. The smart TV experience requires advanced processing performance, as well as outstanding audio/visual capabilities, and we’re proud that Logitech selected the Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100 to power this revolutionary product.”

Logitech Revue with Google TV – Access to Endless Entertainment Choices
With a broadband Internet connection available, connecting the Logitech Revue to your home entertainment system is easy. Use the included HDMI cable to connect the Logitech Revue to the port on your HDTV, and then connect another HDMI cable between the Logitech Revue and your cable or satellite provider box with HDMI out. Then plug in the system to power up your Logitech Revue and follow the directions on the TV screen to complete the brief software setup. In minutes, the content available on your TV will expand beyond the day’s programming to include virtually limitless Web content, as well as a host of preloaded Google TV and Logitech applications.

Once set up, you can use the included Logitech Keyboard Controller to navigate and interact with the new world of content available on the biggest and best screen in the house – the TV screen. Watching your favorite videos online on your HDTV is just the start. Pick up the controller, and type in anything you want to find. Watching the big game on live TV and want to know the latest stats on your favorite player? Simply use the dual-view mode to see the stats on the Web while still watching the game.

The Logitech Keyboard Controller includes everything you need to control Google TV and features a familiar keyboard layout so anyone can start searching without a learning curve. It includes a touch pad with scroll functionality for control in addition to back and home buttons for easy Web page navigation. And to give you a reliable connection, the Keyboard Controller uses Logitech Unifying wireless technology.

Because Harmony Link technology is embedded in Logitech Revue – the same technology that powers Logitech’s award-winning family of Harmony universal remotes – you will enjoy seamless control over how you experience Google TV. So when you search for something and then click on it, your selection will come up at the touch of one button – no manual switching of inputs required.

In addition to the familiar typing and mouse experience, Logitech provides buttons to control your TV, A/V receiver and DVR. These let you power on your TV, turn up the volume on your speakers or access your DVR content without needing to use an additional remote. In addition, you can use the setup software to customize buttons of your controller and map commands for your devices.

Logitech Mini Controller – Sleek and Stylish Palm-Sized Controller
With almost three decades of experience designing devices that connect you to your content, Logitech has learned that consumers like different kinds of input devices to fit their varying needs. With that in mind, the company developed the Logitech Mini Controller for use with Google TV – a palm-sized keyboard, touch pad and remote control combo.

Despite its compact size, just 6-inches by 3.5-inches, the Mini Controller offers full control over the Google TV experience. It has a touch pad that removes the need for a mouse, as well as illuminated keys that change color depending on the mode you’re in: green for navigation, orange for typing and pointing. Like the Logitech Keyboard Controller, the Mini Controller provides buttons to control your TV, A/V receiver and DVR.

The Mini Controller has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can go up to two weeks between charges.

Logitech TV Cam and Logitech Vid HD – Video Calling from Your Sofa
The Logitech TV Cam lets you make and receive high-definition video calls on your HDTV – no computer required. It connects easily with your Logitech Revue box using USB to deliver the crisp, clear images – thanks in part to Carl Zeiss® optics – and superior quality audio consumers have come to expect from Logitech webcams. And the TV Cam also provides a wide-angle lens that will capture your whole living room so your friends and family can relax, talk comfortably and enjoy a natural conversation. And when you want to have a more personal experience, you can use the 5x digital zoom to get close and personal.

To further optimize the experience for the living room, the TV Cam includes two digital, directional microphones that help reduce noise and echoes in a living room environment and uses Logitech RightLight 2™ technology to adjust images in dim lighting situations so you look your best.

Together, the Logitech TV Cam and Vid HD software enable high-definition video calls of up to 720p. To make a video call, simply connect the Logitech TV Cam to your Logitech Revue box, select the easy-to-use Logitech Vid HD app, which comes preloaded on the Revue box, and then sit back, relax and place a call to family or friends who are also using Vid. If the video call is with someone who is not using a TV Cam with Logitech Revue, they can download Vid for free onto their PC or Mac from www.logitech.com/vid.

If you receive a video call using Logitech Vid HD on Google TV, the TV Cam will blink to alert you of an incoming call. If your TV screen is on, you will hear an audible ring and receive a notification and caller ID so you can know who’s calling – and you have the option to answer or ignore the call. If you ignore a call or are away from your TV, you will be aware of any missed calls thanks to a call notification icon in the Vid HD interface or from an LED light on the TV Cam that lights up when you’ve missed a call – even when your TV is off.

Logitech Google TV Apps – Limitless Possibilities
As an open platform, the additional power of Google TV lies in its potential to deliver new possibilities for the living room through the development of innovative applications. Want to find favorite holiday photos to show visiting friends? Preloaded on the Logitech Revue in the Applications section you will find the Logitech Media Player. The Logitech Media Player lets you access your personal content, including photos, downloaded music files and home videos that are stored on a USB drive or a DLNA-certified media server on your home network.

For added control possibilities, Logitech will offer two downloadable smartphone apps: the Logitech Harmony for iPhone and the Logitech Harmony for Android. These apps allow you to use your iPhone®, iPod® Touch, iPad™, or Android device to control your Google TV experience. With just one touch of the “Watch Google TV” button, both apps can turn on your television, cable/satellite box and A/V receiver. The in-app keyboard and touch pad make it easy to search for things to watch – online or on TV – as well as navigate websites. You can use gesture control, voice searches and much more. You can use the Harmony apps in place of – or along with – the keyboard-based controller that comes with Logitech Revue with Google TV.

“Based on overwhelming demand from our dedicated trackball users, we’re delighted to announce the introduction of a new wireless trackball – the Logitech Wireless Trackball M570,” said Rory Dooley, senior vice president and general manager of Logitech’s control devices business unit. “Everything about our newest trackball is built to improve the experience and give trackball enthusiasts the comfort and control they deserve.”

For those who haven’t tried a trackball, one of the many benefits is that it stays put – you don’t have to move your arm to move your cursor. As a result, it’s a great space saver if you have a small or cluttered desk and, unlike a traditional mouse, you can keep your arm stationary. Plus, the sculpted shape supports your hand comfortably all day long.

The Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 also delivers precise cursor control wherever you want so hard tables, comfy sofas and lumpy beds are all no problem. The laser tracking sensor uses the ball, rather than a surface, to guide movement – so you can use it almost anywhere.

Logitech’s newest trackball also has a convenient scroll wheel and easy-to-reach Back/Forward buttons that make computing simple, whether you’re surfing the Web with your laptop or desktop computer, or watching shows on your home-theatre PC.

For your convenience, the Wireless Trackball M570 uses the tiny Logitech Unifying wireless receiver. It stays in your laptop, so there’s no need to unplug it when you move around, and the advanced 2.4 GHz wireless means a robust connection with no dropouts from up to 30 feet away. Plus, you can easily add a compatible keyboard, number pad or additional mouse to the same receiver so you don’t fill up all your USB ports. To reduce the hassle of changing batteries, you can go for up to 18 months without replacing the included AA battery – and the convenient battery indicator ensures that you’ll never be caught off guard. (Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions.)

Pricing and Availability

The Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 is expected to be available in the UAE in November for a suggested retail price of AED349.

“The speakers built into most laptops are tiny and can’t always reproduce powerful audio,” said Mark Schneider, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s audio business unit. “Whether you’re an MP3 junkie or a movie lover, our two new laptop speakers make it easy to connect, turn the sound up and lose yourself in the things you love. There’s no reason that you can’t have quality audio while you’re watching the latest YouTube sensation or the newest Hollywood release on your laptop.”

Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 — Great Sound, No Strings Attached
To free you from the hassle of cords and let you place your speakers up to 50 feet (15 m) away, the Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology to deliver wireless audio. And setup couldn’t be easier. Just plug the included wireless adapter into a USB port on your laptop, and you’re connected in a matter of seconds. Or if you want to connect to an iPad or iPhone, you won’t even need the USB dongle – just put your device into Discovery mode and the Logitech Z515 speaker will find it and connect wirelessly.

But these speakers aren’t just wireless — they also provide rich sound. The speaker’s dual two-inch drivers give full stereo sound and plenty of bass. Plus, so you can take your music with you wherever you go, the Z515 includes a rechargeable battery that can power your speaker for up to 10 hours.

Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305 — All-Around Sound from Your Laptop, To Go
If you are looking for a lightweight, compact speaker that is truly as portable as your laptop, look no further than the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305. Thanks to 360-degree audio, the Z305 emits sound evenly in all directions so you get a great listening experience throughout the room. The plug-and-play USB connection delivers power and pure, digital audio instantly — without the need for software or an external power supply.

Logitech Z305 speaker system.

So you can easily use the speaker anywhere you use your computer — your office, your bed, the airport — the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305 securely mounts behind the screen so it’s out of the way. And the Laptop Speaker Z305 is also extremely lightweight — approximately 226 grams — which means you’ll always be able to take it with you. As an added convenience, the USB cable tucks neatly into the back of your speaker, giving you a look that’s sleek and clutter-free. When you’re ready to hit the road, both new Logitech laptop speakers fit easily into the included travel case or your laptop bag.
