Product Details of Logitech mm50 Portable Speaker System

Description

The Logitech mm50 Portable Speakers for iPod uses 3" pressure drivers to maximize bass and minimize distortion. The rechargeable Li-ion batteries last up to 10 hours, and you can charge both the speaker system and iPod battery simultaneously. Using 3-D sound processing that "widens" the stereo effect, this system's sound seems to come from an area about two feet wider than the speaker itself. And with a custom travel case, you can take the big sound from this small package anywhere.

Best Speakers For The Money

Strengths: Remote, rechargable battery, dock connector on unit, aux input, carry case, great volume.

Weakness: Bass is a little lacking. Remote range is way to short.

I love this unit. I take it with me everywhere, party, grilling, pool, camping, etc... It's so small, portable, and light it can go anywhere. I looked at ALL the current speakers on the market when I bought this and aside from being much cheaper ($300 Bose anyone?) it has a rechargeable battery when most of the others on the market, when most other units are still going with the AA or even D...

Slick As A Brick

Strengths: Excellent sound quality. Solid construction. Carry pouch. Rechargeable battery life. Remote. Matching iPod-esque industrial design.

Weakness: No room for AC charger in carry pouch.

This little slab produces impressively clean sound. Of course, there is no real bass, but compared to any other portable sound system, it more than holds its own, without any tubby over-emphasis in the upper bass. Clarity and detail in the midrange are excellent, giving it very good presence. The 3D processing is predictably a mixed bag - it depends on program material and your position relative...

Needs another piece of plastic

Strengths: It's good looking and efficient. And good value for money. Rechargable battery is good.

Weakness: Pity the owner can't change the battery when the time comes. Instruction book is worthless. Needs a support for the iPod nano.

I agree with most of the comments by other reviewers. If you like really loud music - I don't - this may not be for you. It's fine for personal use but it may not be loud enough if you have 20 people talking or dancing in a small room. The rechargable battery is a definite plus because it makes it truly portable. Pity it can't be replaced by the owner when it becomes necessary. I have one beef. I...

Logitech mm 50

Strengths: A sturdy, well-designed unit with better than average sound. The good portability and function of the remote are important for its particular application as a music accompanist.

Weakness: A little light on the low end.

In comparison to the other portable Ipod speakers I've tested the Logitech mm 50 provides better-than-average sound and a well-engineered system at a fair price. The unit's case is also sturdy and should provide good service.

Logitech..AT THE HEAD OF THE PACK!!

Strengths: The Unit is a strong,well built one piece unit. It has well placed controls,and is easy to set up.The carry case is well made. It is NOT a flimsy unit,and should stand up to long service.

Weakness: The A/C adaptor is a bit large. You cannot turn on the unit with the remote.

These speakers for the iPod are the best value in terms of price vs. performance. I would put these a scant notch below the Bose system,and at 1/3 the cost. While no portable speaker system is built for room filling sound,these MM 50's are perfect for your desk or bedroom dresser. I find them just perfect for my lifestyle. A suggestion to Logitech Engineers would be to make the A/C adaptor...

It's worth the money

Strengths: Very portable, rechargeable battery, charges ipod. No moving door part to worry about like the Altec Lansing IM7. Good build quality (doesn't seem flimsy). Foldable legs.

Weakness: No room in the travel bag for charger. Battery is not replaceable. AC adapter is large (2x3x1.25). It doesn't even have foldable prongs.

I bought the Altec Lansing IM7 for myself and Logitech mm50 for the kids. The IM7 is more powerful. But for the money, portability, this speaker is great. I saw 2 IM7s on display at Costco: one was locked so you couldn't open it, the other was not connected to the power source, but the door didn't stay closed. I read another user's review who returned his to Costco after 3 weeks when the door...

Nice set of speakers

Strengths: Includes remote control; solid build quality; docking cradle; above-average sound quality in small package; carrying case

Weakness: "3D stereo technology"; lack of bass

The only thing my wife loves more than her iPod are these speakers! We needed a small set of speakers for our office and wanted to be able to charge the iPod at the same time, and this fit the bill perfectly. The unit is solid, though much smaller than anticipated. Good things sometimes come in small packages! The first thing I noticed (after the build quality) was the rich sound, as good as much...

Excellent iPod Speakers

Strengths: Excellent sound. Great battery life. Includes case and remote.

Weakness: Size could be a problem for some, but is fine for me.

These iPod speakers are the best I have found so far. The speakers sound very clear and steady even played at full volume. The speakers include a nice case and remote control. The case is excellent for traveling (which I do often). Just put everything inside, including the remote, and pack your bag. I've been getting anywhere from 7-9 hours batter life when I use the speakers not plugged into the...

Logitech MM50 The BEST Portable Speakers On the...

Strengths: Portability, GREAT sound quality, Remote Control

Weakness: No sleep timer to turn the MM50 off. Loss of iPod audio while connected to another audio source. No scanning thru a song or audiobook to find your place.

Logitech MM50's audio input jack allows you to use another audio source BUT plugging a cable into this jack mutes the iPod's audio. Outside of the above mentioned, the Logitech MM50 speakers are still the best in my opinion. Nothing comes close to being portable with this kind of sound quality and a remote control too.

Great IPod Speakers!

Strengths: Excellent sound quality, charges IPod, nice carrying case/remote

Weakness: Should be able to get louder

This system is very clear and relatively small compared to the bose sound dock. It has a very clean look to it. The carrying caseis very nice and the remote control that comes with the system is a great bonus. Although the sound is clear, I wish this system would get a louder. Overall this a great value for the price.

Logitech mm50

The Logitech mm50 dock straddles the line between portable and stationary better than any of the other speakers we tested. It’s sleek, small, and thin, weighing only 1.6 pounds. Logitech includes a case, making it easy to slip the mm50 into a carry on. An internal rechargeable battery lasts about...

Logitech mm50 Speaker System for Apple iPod

Almost everybody has one or wants one, and this huge user base has spawned a growing peripherals business. Among the most popular add-ons are compact portable speaker systems which allow the user to un-tether from his/her headphones and share their music with others. The Apple Store lists 42...

Logitech mm50 Portable Speakers for iPod

When you’re on the road, you have two types of listening options besides headphones, which we defined in the past as “ultra-portable” pocket speakers such as Macally’s Podwave or Pacific Rim Technologies’ Cube, and “portable,” briefcase-ready speaker systems such as JBL’s On Tour and Altec’s inMotion iM3 series speakers. As you’ll see from a brief look at our speaker ratings -...
