Logitech Z407

4.3

3 sources$112.99as of Aug 1

The Logitech Z407 is the best-value 2.1 desktop system, delivering powerful, rumbling bass and warm, room-filling sound for around $80 alongside Bluetooth, USB and aux inputs. Its standout feature is a wireless control dial that adjusts volume and bass from across the room. The satellites are basic and the dial takes getting used to, but reviewers repeatedly rank it among the best computer speakers you can buy, making it the smart-value pick here.

Strengths

— Powerful, rumbling bass from a down-firing subwoofer that punches above its price
— Clever wireless control dial with a 20-meter range for volume and bass
— Three inputs: Bluetooth, micro-USB and 3.5mm, all sounding excellent

Watch-outs

— The control-dial workflow takes some learning
— No app or on-screen EQ for fine tuning
— Satellites are basic single-driver units

How they stack up

Logitech Z407

The Logitech Z407 is the value sweet spot of this group, offering a real subwoofer and Bluetooth for far less than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 or Audioengine A2+ Wireless. It has more bass and a wireless control dial the Creative Pebble X Plus lacks, but its single-driver satellites are less capable than the Klipsch's horn-loaded ones, and unlike the Audioengine A2+ Wireless and Edifier R1280T it uses a satellite-plus-sub layout rather than full powered cabinets.

Logitech Z906

The Z906 is the only true surround system here, adding 5.1 channels the stereo Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX, Logitech Z623, Logitech Z407 and Creative Pebble Plus cannot match, with far more power, though it is overkill for a simple desktop setup and lacks the Z407's Bluetooth.
