These speakers are cheap, unattractive and old. And I love them.
, an ungainly subwoofer box I'm still trying to find the right home for in my desk setup and a design that was clearly, let's be diplomatic and say, 'of secondary importance' to its makers, my Logitech Z213s have kept me happy since May 2015, when I bundled them in on the cheap as part of a new gaming PC setup because I'd run out of budget for all the other things in it.
A big part of my job is testing laptops, and one of my first go-to stops is checking the sound. I can't work in silence. These laptops range from budget notebooks to $3,000+ gaming behemoths, with all the differences that come with that. But one thing unites all of them, as well as every built-in monitor speaker I've ever used: they all, every single one, bar none, get absolutely pummelled by the 7 almighty watts of my trusty old Logitechs when it comes to sound performance.
I've edited work-related videos, amateur short films, school projects for my son and more using these cheap speakers, and can't imagine what I would have gained by spending four figures on something designed to within an inch of its life that I don't get already for the 50 quid I spent almost a decade ago now.
Longevity is also worth so much in the cost-of-living crisis we all find ourselves in, and I can attest that apart from looking a little dustier than they did in 2015, the Z213s have lost none of their oomph since the day of purchase.Yes, I admit that for fine detail I do turn to my headphones, but that's something I'd do anyway even if I had a flashy soundbar that I had to sell my firstborn to afford.
But for everything else, gaming with my boy, video-conferencing, chair-dancing like no one's watching , my ugly, cheap little Logitech speakers, with the wonderful and needlessly bulky subwoofer box will be my audio device of choice. Until one of those endlessly tangled wires finally rips, that is.Enjoy your first month for just £1 / $1 / €1
