Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Logitech Z130 speakers arrived on time and in excellent condition. It's not often that I have enough similar products to run a comparative reveiw. However, in this case I have 3 pairs of budget priced, AC plug in, amplified speakers. These speakers are all offered by Amazon and Amazon Prime. In the order that I will review them, they are: the Cyber Acoustic 2.0 (CA2014), the Logitech S120 and the Logitach Z130. CYBER ACOUSTIC 2.0 (CA2014) PRICE: $11.88 BOOST: Very good. These spkrs. have the most amplification of the 3 sets reviewed, though there is some distortion at full volume. SOUND: Flat and tinny. Spkrs. have little or no bass and therefore are not a good choice for music, movies or TV. Voice does come through loud and clear so these might do well for classroom audio presentations. Remember, these are small spkrs., so they're not going to be adequate for a really large area. MISCELLANEOUS: The separate on-off switch is a nice touch CONCLUSION: Though the spkrs. do work, these units seem to have the least quality applications of the three sets tested. LOGITECH S120 PRICE: $12.49 BOOST: Good. While the amplification is not as great as the Cyber Acoustic spkrs., the S120's still work well for most applications. SOUND: Very good. Seems to have the most accurate sound reproduction of the three sets. Little distortion. MISCELLANEOUS: These spkrs. are rather narrow which can be handy for tight spaces, but can also tip over easily. I wound up using Velcro to keep them stable. CONCLUSION: A very nice, inexpensive set of amplified speakers for all around use LOGITECH Z130 PRICE: $19.70 BOOST: Very good. The Z130s have almost or as much amplification as the Cyber Acoustic spkrs. The difference is that that CA spkrs. has most all of its boost on the treble side, whereas the Z130s boost is spread between bass, mid range and treble. SOUND: Very good. The Z130s have basically the same qualities as the S120s, except the Z130s are louder and have a little more bass. MISCELLANEOUS: Though small, these spkrs. are very attractive and have a wide base, which makes them very stable. CONCLUSION: I have tried the Logitech Z130 spkrs. on TVs, computers, tablets and MP3 players, and though these spkrs. do cost a few dollars more, I believe these are the best of the three sets of spkrs. tested.
