Reviewers say the Logitech Z-4 PC speaker system is a great choice for people on a budget. It's a 2.1-channel system, meaning it has two satellites and a subwoofer. You can crank up the volume without losing clarity or getting distortion. At 40 watts RMS total output, it's best for small spaces like dorm rooms, bedrooms and home offices. Sound quality is generally good, though the lowest lows and the highest highs sound better on pricier systems like the Logitech Z-2300 (Discontinued).

The Logitech Z-4 gets an Editors' Choice award for clear sound, an attractive design and no distortion at high volumes. That said, the highest highs can occasionally sound tinny, and deep bass could use more punch. Still, according to reviewer Brandon King, "The Logitech Z-4 should be at the top of your list of <$100 speaker systems if you're in the market for a good 2.1 setup."

Most of the more than 250 user-written reviews here give the Logitech Z-4 PC speakers the highest rating possible. These owners say that they love the clear sound, bass response and volume levels, considering the price. Some express concern, however, that young children might be able to damage the uncovered speaker cones.
