While it looks nice, the speakers box distorts at higher volumes terribly making the sound very muddy. The iclarity hd from monster is priced about the same, gets louder, and has superior sound all around. Get that instead from best buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: connects easily to your bluetooth devices including laptops/desktops
What's not so great: not as loud as it could be for $80 probably is the only con.
I bought this to go with my iPhone for those days where I'm out on the patio grilling and I've been pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and quality of this speaker. It just works. It's not overly powerful but serves its purpose. I charge it up and sit outside with me on the patio or in the kitchen while I cook. I recently purchased an iMac as well as it works so seamlessly with it. I just connect the two via bluetooth and then take the speaker outside and have a good ol time. I definitely recommend this speaker to anyone who just wants some extra sound for maybe their kitchen or office or outside, but not expecting a home theater type sound. It's good.

I was looking for something that I could use at the beach or just around the house! I am a teacher so I even bring it to school. These speakers are very loud for wireless and the battery life is pretty amazing! No complaints. When I bought them, they were only $40 at Bestbuy.... I want another one, but I don't want to pay $70 some odd dollars (even though I like them that much)

I put this on top of a 10 feet shelf and it fills the entire living room with sound. Bluetooth is internal and also comes with a bluetooth adapter to hook to a laptop that isnt bluetooth. Awesome speaker, Highly recommended.

What's great about it: You have got to be kidding
What's not so great: The sound quality
I bought these speakers because they did get an excellent review. When I hooked them up to my laptop they:
1) did not work at all
2) when I did do the leg work to figure out the issue (I needed to get an adapter for another $20), I got crackle and pop noises.
3) After spending a couple of hours w/an online tech the problem persisted.
Too bad, because I like logitech and most of the products are great, but I am going to require a cord connection it appears.
I have returned the speaker and although I got the cost of the speaker back, I am out the tax, shipping, the cost of returning the product and the purchase of a 2nd product (the adapter) that I didn't need. Not to mention the TIME and headache.
This product has... no up side i can think of

What's great about it: Looks good, sounds great
What's not so great: Would love it to support more device connections
I noticed when I was doing presentations that the speakers that came on laptops, tablets, etc were lacking at best. When I started using the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet for table presentations with clients I didn't want to depend on the tiny built in speaker.
The Logitech Blutooth speaker system has proven to be a boom. Not only is the sound quality and battery life very good, the system is easy to use with an Blutooth enabled device (Don't let the "For Apple iPad" tagline deceive you). Very pleased with this purchase

Bought this for a group to use on vacation. Can put your iPad/iPod/iPhone away from sun/sand/water and Bluetooth speaker still works great. Great battery life & sound. Easy to hook up & worked perfect for our group and our trip.

Although not BT compatible with my Samsung Tab 10.1, or my Droid2 a standard 3.5 mm audio cable allowed me to connect it to either item, albeit not wirelessly. Great sound, battery life, and very portable, so I'm not going to return it!

What's great about it: Portability, sound, quality build
What's not so great: Still looking for a downside
I use this primarily via Bluetooth with my Android smartphone. I've got my music with me wherever I go, and I can share great quality sound with my friends. Works great! Quick & simple Bluetooth setup. Small enough to take anywhere, but has great sound, volume and range. Rechargeable battery is said to last 10 hours of continious play, but I can't verify this. I have not played continiously for more than about 6 hours (which is a long time!), but it played long and hard the entire time without a hiccup! I quit playing music at 6 hours, not the speaker. The speaker had power to spare.

What's great about it: BT range, simplicity, battery life, size
What's not so great: Lows and Highs do not compare with HiFi or better PC Speakers
This speaker is sleek, solid and well built. It sounds great considering it is a rechargeable battery-powered portable speaker. The BT range is over 30 feet. Battery life is great. Midrange sound is great except at max volume. Highs and lows are good but not as good as the better self-powered PC speakers or HiFi. Setup is very simple (if you remember there is a difference between slow and fast flashing LED... read the short/clear instructions).
About as much as can be expected in a small, inexpensive, battery powered speaker.

What's great about it: Build quality, size, sound for spoken word
What's not so great: Sound quality for music
I tried out the logitech wireless speaker for ipad and was a bit underwhelmed based on the positive reviews I read. While build quality, size and feel are excellent and peak volume was pretty loud, the overall sound quality was just okay at best. A fair bit of distortion was evident at anything above low-to-medium volumes. Definitely a bit under par for my tastes. It actually does quite well with spoken word or talk radio and if the main goal is to simply amplify the sound of a phone, tablet or laptop then it gets the job done. If you are a music lover and somewhat picky about sound quality, however, this is probably not for you. Is it worth the price? I bought these speakers on sale from BB at $60 and yes they are probably worth that amount, but only if you are not too picky about sound quality. Ultimately, I returned these and went with the larger logitech wireless boombox. The boombox sounds much much better, and is definitely a much worthy purchase. The drawback of the wireless boombox, of course, is that it is not as portable (about 50% larger), but if sound quality is more important than portability there really is no comparison between the two products.
A final note, for those who have researched this product and are wondering what the difference between this item and the Logitech Z515, it is that this product does not come with the USB transmitter for a laptop (at least mine did not come with it). The speaker itself is the same, but if you need the USB dongle to send a wireless signal from a (non-bluetooth equipped) PC or Mac this item does not include that.

First they should rename this to Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Speaker since it will work with any bluetooth device. I almost didn't look at it since I have an Android phone. Beyond that it is a great speaker. The volume goes very loud, and the range was about 30 feet indoors with one wall in between.

What's great about it: Lowest Price Bluetooth speaker
What's not so great: No Line out, only bluetooth to last 2 devices
This item is just as I expected. Sync'd bluetooth to my iPad. Would have liked bigger speakers as in the other logitech speaker I have. Has a line in, but I would have liked an external speaker jack also

What's great about it: Compact, Well built, Travel case included
What's not so great: Charger plug could use a re-design.
Works with my HP Touchpad via bluetooth connection. Shows up as Z515. I've tested it in Pandora, iHeart, Youtube, and TuneIn Radio and they all work for me, but I had to turn the speakers off/on each time in order for the speakers to work with iHeart and TuneIn. Upon connecting, the Touchpad says unable to connect to hands free profile, but then that message disappears after a second. Have not tried a phone/skype call, so I can't report on that. Music and Talk radio sounds great. Good bass, much, much louder than the built-in speakers. NOT a whole-house stereo speaker system, but I turned up a song in my small office and it blew me away. Good for having a few friends over and listening to some music in the background. Case included, with compartment for charger. Feels well constructed, although the charger plug (the end that plugs into the speakers) is a straight plug. I would like to have seen an "L" shaped plug here. Also, the prongs on the AC end of the charger do not fold. That would be a nice feature, since there is a charger compartment in the travel case. Not the end of the world. The Kickstand is wide and seems to be well constructed. Overall, excellent value and does what I need it to do.
