When you look for PC speakers with the most features, Logitech wireless speakers are one obvious choice. These will give you the best sound experience you've ever had, without strings (wires) attached. In addition, this is the first digital media receiver that can utilize Bluetooth's A2DP feature. Its main components include the receiver, which connects to your home audio system, and a transmitter that connects directly to your PC, since that's where your favorite tunes probably are.
The most outstanding feature of wireless speakers is their ability to play any sound that comes from your PC. This does not take into consideration issues of copyrights or digital management rights. The previous models only supported some formats of files, and only some of the applications of your PC's audio servers. The main disadvantage of this system is that there isn't a front display panel or some sort of visual interface to the look.
Logitech's system comes with a remote, which is not as effective as it might be, since the speakers lack a key feature. This is the ability to power up your play list or stream it live like Internet radio, and then go into the room where the Logitech wireless speakers are installed. There isn't an advantage to using wireless speakers if you are going to be in the same area anyway - you could use speakers with wires and get the same effect.
The design of the Logitech system is rather small, but it's also attractive to the eye. The unit that does the transmitting looks like a USB drive with an added antenna. There is a single LED light to show the system status, and you only need one button to effect a wireless connection from the units you are joining together. Logitech also includes a cable extension to the transmitter. It's not needed, but if used, it will make the sound quality even better.
Every speaker system has pro's and con's, and this is no exception. The Logitech speakers will take any signal that is streaming, and turn that into audio format. This includes iTunes songs that were purchased and saved on your PC, and also your home stereo. They offer an audio transition that is wireless yet reliable, and the installation is fairly easy. The lack of a visual interface takes some getting used to.
The remote control does not have many functions, and there are options that are not accessible via the remote. The system doesn't have digital outputs, and the software called Music Anywhere, which is an optional add-on, is not clearly defined.
The system's strong points are in sound quality and in ease of use. Most people who have rated this system have given it good reviews, once they got used to the way it works. For the price of about two hundred dollars, most users have had good experiences with Logitech wireless speakers, and many would recommend this system to a friend who was looking for a sturdy and reliable speaker system.
