Question: How wide is this? Too big for a 13" notebook? If you own this, can you tell me how wide this actually is?  Do you think it is too bulky for a 13" notebook (I have a Sony Vaio Z).  Also, how far down do the clips come on the front side of the screen?  I've got about a 1/2" border and am wondering if that is enough.
Document: When I travel I often watch movies on my laptop. My options for audio were: (1) the weak built-in speakers, (2) headphones, (3) bulky external speakers, uncluding tangle-prone wires. None of these options were very good. This Logitech speaker was the answer. It's small size and big sound that clips to the top of the screen and has only one USB cable (that neatly stores in the unit) to connect it to the laptop for both power and audio.
It clips to the screen just fine but so far I prefer to lay it next to the netbook when using it.I actually had two units. The first unit sounded "tinny" when received and customer service identified it as needing to be replaced. I had a new one in 3 days and it is still working perfectly after 2 months.
This little gadget puts out a big sound.....my Sony Vaio has little volume, and this makes watching dvd's enjoyable for my husband and I to watch in bed.......I took it to work and my co-workers all wanted to know where I got it. I suspect Amazon has sold a few more. Once you hear it, you'll want one.....
i'm usually leaning back in a chair, so it's great this clips on the back of the screen, yet is out of the way.i will also say that the clarity of this speaker unit is very good. i hear things (listening to music) that i hadn't heard before.that said, i don't think this would replace any decent stereo, as far as trying to fill a room to entertain a party, but for what i wanted it for, it's a major upgrade.
Kick drums really kick, and bass guitars are easily distinguishable from the rhythm and lead. Vocals, pianos, and wind instruments are also reproduced very well. I know some have said how because the speakers are side-firing that the sound is a bit off, but I actually think the design is a plus. First, the sound actually sounds like its coming out of the screen, which is great for watching movies.
This is only a minor point but the speaker could be a bit longer (2-3cm?) - it doesn't extend beyond my 13" Mac-screen quite enough so tends to sit behind computer. It could also get away with being made a bit bigger without taking up too much extra luggage space/weight - in order to pack more punch.3.
Vertically, it is fine, but if your need to tilt the lid back, the weight of the speakers because of the design (behind the lid) causes the lid to drop back. The notebook I plan on using this for is a Toshiba R835, it is 13" and the lid hinge is very good actually, snug, not loose. I also believe this may cause problems with users that put their notebooks on laps.
I got the Logitech Z305 USB Speaker to use with my HP Mini 210 Netbook (see my review). This has turned out to be a good match. When I first took the Z305 out of the package, I thought it might be a little big, but it is far from unwieldy. When clipped on to my 210, it extends past the edges about an inch and a half on each side. However, I don't see this as an issue.
Opened it up and plugged it in. I immediately noticed a crackling again coming from the left side speaker. I couldn't believe that 2 had come bad, so I hooked it up to my room mates computer. I could notice the same crackling coming from the left side of his computer. I contacted Amazon, and got the following response: "Since it's likely another replacement would arrive defective, I won't trouble you with another replacement.
No - don't tilt the laptop screen too far back or the added weight may tip over the laptop.There are a power switch (with green LED on/off indicator) and up/down volume controls. All seem to work well. The switches are on the front of the unit so with the bar on the top of the laptop display the switches are on the back side of the laptop. Not the most convenient but there is no other logical choice.
Answer: I have a Sony VAIO Y-Series laptop that's about a year or so old. It has a 13.3" screen and weighs 3.9 pounds.  I bought the Logitech Z305 and it fits perfectly.  However, if the laptop is sitting on a desk or table, I find that I have to keep the screen near vertical, otherwise the added weight along the top edge of the screen causes it to lean back on its hinges.  This will probably cause the hinges to wear or break at some point.  Also, if the laptop is left unattended in such a scenario, the laptop base will lift off the table since I'm not there to hold it down.  I'd keep the speaker sitting on the desk/table in such a scenario.  If I'm using the laptop on my lap, the base isn't perfectly flat, i.e. the front of the laptop is at a lower level than the rear, so the counterweight effect of the speaker isn't as much of an issue.  In summary, the Z305 should work better with a larger/heavier laptop, but I still kept it because I don't mind letting it sit on the table/desk.  It sounds quite decent, as well.
