Logitech can always be trusted blindfold as far as computer accessories are concerned and they provide excellent value for money. But what I always believe quality must be comprised with under any circumstances. It's true that at this price it's really difficult give any that you can real quality stuff.

Logitech R-10 speakers system, as a said is perfect value for money but then why compromise quality for price. The basic problem with this dual system is banwidth equalization. Before going let us take a quick look at the technical specification.
Media Type 2 speakers
Nominal Output Power (Total) 4 Watt
Max Output Power 8 Watt
Response Bandwidth 70 - 20000 Hz
Input Impedance 4 Ohm
Signal-To-Noise Ratio 70 dB
Speakers Included 2 x right/left channel speaker

Just look at Bandwidth Response 70-20000 Hz, for any reliability and reproduction of good bass quality lower range should not be less than 20 Hz. This produces a typical problem of higher frequencies over riding lower ones, which in layman terms means no control over treble resulting in very poor mid range and bass reproduction. This obviously give rise cross talk risk and distortion at a relatively low volume.
Also it provides Media Type speakers for both right and left channel. It is also clear from the specs each has got 2x1 meaning a system containing four out put speakers. Naturally they take care for bass and treble but what about mid range. If you don have control over these basic acoustic necessities for good sound reproduction then equalization has no meaning and this exactly the problem with the this product. To have good control over equalization you it is imperative for you to have specific rages like boofer, woofer and twiter, lets forget about super woofers. Also stuffing of the speakers inside the cabinet is also a big issue.

Another problem is the Input Impedance and SNR (signal to noise ratio). But I must say with all this basic drawbacks the guys at Logitech has done an excellent job. I would rate Logitech-R10 performance as reasonably good considering the technical problems inherent in the system.
But then if you can configure your Media player well enough the audio quality will definitely better than ordinary. But do it carefully, may be your system will not recognize your accessory at all!

The installation is very simple, no problems there.
At £6.99 it is an excellent acquisition.
