Whether if you play a video game, watch a movie or listen to some music on the computer you will always need to hear the sound. So that’s why you have to use some computer speakers or headphones. Most of the people that are using a desktop computer, also have some speakers. These can be in different sizes and shapes and they also can have all kinds of powers and sound quality. The simplest are the stereo speakers, and the most complex are the 7.1 surround sound systems. Some speakers can be placed at a higher distance from the computer because they are wireless, and others can be placed outside the house. The laptops become more and more popular and many people are using them these days.

But we all know that the integrated speakers from the laptop are not that good. The sound from them is not so loud and doesn’t have enough quality for a great audio experience. So that’s why most of the people are buying some new speakers for their laptop. You can connect stereo speakers and some laptops are even compatible with surround sound systems. But let’s not forget that the biggest advantage of a laptop is it’s portability. It is small, light weighted and it can be carried around anywhere with you. But how about the new speakers? Can you take them anywhere with you? The answer is no. It is practically impossible to take the whole surround system with you, and use it for example when traveling with the train. You can take the stereo speakers with you because they are smaller, but let’s not forget that they have to cables. One that goes into the laptop and is for audio signal, and the other that is for power and must be plugged into an AC outlet. So you can’t use these speakers anywhere with the laptop. But what can you do? Well some people though of this problem, and brought a solution to it: the USB speakers. These are usually small and light speakers, that can easily be carried around with your laptop. But the greatest thing about them is that they have only one cable. This cable will be connected in the USB port, and it is both for audio signal and power. So the speakers will charge directly from the laptop, and you won’t need any batteries or power supply. Pretty nice, right?

The USB speakers became more and more popular as the laptops developed, and today you can find many models of speakers like this. One of them is the Logitech S 150 USB computer speakers, and we are going to discuss more about this model today.

As you can see they have a pretty simple and elegant black design so they can fit with your laptop. They can be used both by students that are traveling a lot with their laptop but also by business man who are also traveling and using their laptop in different places. The speakers also come with a travel bag, that will both protect them and make them portable. As we mentioned before they connect with the computer through a USB cable, so this means the sound will remain digital all the way and will not lose quality.

The speakers have a stabile base that will allow you to easily place them on the desk or in other places. These are very useful when you are traveling and you place the speakers in some unusual places.


One speaker has the built-in controls from where you can adjust the volume, turn the power on and off and mute the speakers. When they are turned on, a LED will indicate this. As you can see, the S 150 USB speakers from Logitech are not so equipped and have just the basic features, but this is because they have a price of just 15 dollars. So you can’t even expect for more at this price.

The total power for the speakers is 1.2 watts (this means 0.6 watts for each speaker). So this is not something powerful to show off with or to make a party with them , but it is enough for a business man to make a great power point presentation using these speakers and his laptop. The frequency response for them is between 90 and 20.000 hertz. You won’t have quit a powerful bass, but the high and mid sounds will be ok.



The ratings for these speakers are pretty good, about 3.5 stars out of 5. But there are many sites that are giving them the perfect score: 5 out of 5.  All the users agree that these speakers are easy to use and to set up, they are small and compact and offer a pretty good sound quality. They don’t have many features or a lot of power, but they are ok for this price. A thing that should have be included is the headphones jack. Some of the users are really disappointed because these speakers do not have headphones jack. They also agree that these speakers are mode for lower volumes, and if you play them really loud they won’t sound so good. The greatest feature about the Logitech S 150 Digital USB speakers remain the fact that they are small, portable and can be connected with just one cable. So if you need some simple and cheap speakers for your laptop, that sound pretty good then you should choose this model. Enjoy!
