We all know that most built-in laptop speakers leave a lot to be desired when it comes to audio performance.  Logitech is no different and has slung out the Laptop Speaker Z205, a lightweight speaker with a portable clip-on design allowing laptop junkies to rock their favorite tunes in some decent quality.  Logitech made the Laptop Speaker Z205 lightweight and small enough to take anywhere a laptop goes.  It measures approximately 1.35 inches thick and 2.5 inches tall.  To me the coolest thing about the Laptop Speaker Z205 is there is no need for external power.  The included USB cable takes care of the power and audio transmission.  Logitech even throws in a carrying case to store the Laptop Speaker Z205 in while in transit.  The Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 should be available in the U.S. and Europe for  $39.99 beginning in March.

Editors Note:  The clip-on mechanism may cause interference with built-in web cams.  The fix may be as easy as offsetting the speakers from center slightly.  Just be aware before purchasing.

Press Release

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Laptop and netbook computers are portable and powerful enough to do everything you love such as enjoying music, movies and video calls. But as computers have gotten smaller, audio quality has often been sacrificed. To enhance the audio quality of your favorite tunes and movies, today Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) announced the Logitech® Laptop Speaker Z205 — a lightweight speaker with an easy-to-attach clip-on design that lets you pump up the volume wherever you take your laptop.

“While people love the portability of their laptop computer, they are often missing out on the immersive listening experience that external speakers provide”

“While people love the portability of their laptop computer, they are often missing out on the immersive listening experience that external speakers provide,” said Mark Schneider, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s audio business unit. “When designing the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205, we wanted to help people get better audio while enjoying their favorite shows or music without sacrificing portability. The Laptop Speaker Z205 is tiny enough to toss in your bag, but delivers big sound.”

Whether you use a Mac® or a Windows®-based laptop or a netbook, the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 securely attaches to the top of most laptop screens. The Laptop Speaker Z205 is also small — approximately 1.35 inches thick and 2.5 inches tall — which means you’ll always be able to take it with you. And the included carrying case protects your speaker while inside your briefcase or backpack.

Now, when you’re watching your favorite show, listening to Pandora™, or making a video call, you’ll enjoy rich, full stereo sound thanks to two high-performance drivers, a built-in amplifier and an acoustically tuned enclosure. And you can easily adjust the volume as well as turn the speaker on and off using the buttons located on the top of the speaker. The included USB cable is all you need for power and audio — there’s no need for an external power supply — so simply plug the Z205 into your computer and start enjoying your entertainment.
