Great Deal!.......2007-11-26
This is a great deal. I bought these instead of the OEM Dell speakers for my new computer.
They are very slim, good looking, and a perfect match for flat LCD monitor. They are also logitech which is good quality.
Great for the price.......2007-11-19
Of course they are not the best speakers out there. But I'm very happy with them for the price that I paid.
Sucks !! You get what you pay.......2007-10-22
I never expected such low quality product from logitech. I was looking for decent pair of speakers for my desktop which btw has very good sound card. I have Creative inspire T3030 which I bought last year for 20 bucks. If I Compare cost vs performance of Creative T3030 to these, R-10 speakers stand nowhere. My 2 cents of advise, Don't buy these speakers.
great speakers.......2007-10-13
These speakers are great are are small enough to fit anywhere. Great product for the money.
Nice Speaker.......2007-09-10
Fast shipping and Very nice product with less price. Sound quality is excellent. This is one I was looking for.. I strongly recommend you to buy this speaker.

Happy Customer.......2007-11-21
This unit is extremely compact, yet gives good sound and volume. Good battery life. Charges ipod when used with A/C adapter. Nicely designed. Altec Lansing has corrected the complaints I had with an earlier model.

Altec Lansing inMotion IM3c.......2007-10-25
Great product, excellent sound quality, small profile and easy to use. I bought one for myself and then later for my father, he is happy with his as well.
Travel speakers.......2007-10-22
A good item to have for traveling. It is small when open and folds up for easy transportion. Keep in mind, it is not a whole house stereo. Just a way to listen to music in a smaller setting. And it works well for this. Follow the instructions for actually turning the unit on and it makes a good player for a hotel room. The music is clear and it beats the standard clock radio usually found in a hotel room. Just don't expect this item to do what it isn't designed to do.
Great portable speaker.......2007-09-10
The sound quality of the IM3c is very good at the mid to low level. This speaker system is solely used in my office, so cranking it up too loud is not an option. Its compact size makes it easy to place virtually anywhere. One feature I really like is the volume stays the same after turning the unit back on after it has been shut down, unlike the "JBL On Stage".
Product Description
ProMedia Ultra 2.0 consists of two magnetically-shielded satellite speakers. Each satellite is a highly efficient two-way design that utilizes dual 2.5-inch fiber-composite cone drivers and a 1-inch metalized polymer tweeter.

Customer Reviews:
Enjoy them quick...........2007-12-24
Just adding my voice to the others before me. The sound of these speakers is outstanding for the price, but the quality is abysmal. I, like so many others, found that these speakers inevitably go down hill over time. The volume and bass controls get noisy. The scratchiness gets progressively worse until the left channel quits working all together. You can fix the problem by taking the speaker apart and cleaning the control, but the problem soon returns. The connections on the back go bad as well. If you read the forums on the Klipsh website you see the same story over and over.
Mine went in the trash. I feel like I wasted $100 and the land fill just got a little deeper. I hate the waste of it. I gladly would have paid $150 dollars for the same speaker built to last. When I replace my home theatre speakers, guess which brand I won't consider.
People who write reviews about these speakers while new love them. Reviewers who've had them 6 months or more have a different story. Beware.
Great speakers for the buck.......2007-12-23
These speakers are just what I hoped they would be. They sound great, look great - don't take up much room either. You can adjust the bass and volume on the speakers. Very happy with these.
klipsch pro medis 2 desktop speakers.......2007-12-15
I think these are simply the best speakers on the market for the money. The sound is very rich and I am very pleased with their overall performance
Excellent sound but cheap volume knob.......2007-11-27
For their size and price these speakers deliver impressive sound and are attractive as well. However, Klipsch puts a cheap volume control potentiometer in these units resulting in loud static and sound cut-out when the knob is turned. This started to be a minor nuisance about a year after purchase. Overall, I still recommend these speakers because of their quality sound and attractive price point and styling, but if the control knob fails and I can't easily replace it then I will modify my review. Also, a foot came off one of the speakers soon after purchase (but was easily glued back on).
makes my computer sound like a boom box.......2007-11-12
I have a home made computer and it has an average sound card in it but the speakers really make it sound like alot more than it is

Small & Rich.......2007-12-25
I ordered these speakers to replace my inexpensive computer speakers. They are smaller and pack a very rich sound. They sound better than my stereo speakers!
Good sound in a compact package........2007-12-22
The first set of speakers did not work immediately out of the box. Amazon made the return very simple, and the second set worked perfectly. The sound has alot of depth to it, especially when turned up loud.
They look nice next to the monitor, and there is no bulky bass module under the desk for me to kick. Definitely worth the price.
Way more than I expected!.......2007-12-17
I purchased these for my son, for his computer & ipod. He hooked them up in a couple of minutes & then dad had to come in & remind him his little brother was sleeping!.......THEY ROCK!....Powerfull, good bass-mids-high end. I was really impressed! They are fairly portable also, so I think they would make a great music source for a cabin, kitchen, shop, etc. They plug into just about anything with a headphone jack, so they are very versatile. I highly recommend this product.
Love this pair of Klipsch speakers.......2007-12-02
You can't go wrong with Groove PM20 with the power and quality you get for the price. I've checked out a lot of computer speakers before I got Klipsch, and I'm extremely happy with their performance. Groove PM20 produce very "juicy" yet accurate and clear sound. They look fairly small, but sound big, and have plenty of volume and adjustable base. Highly recommend!
Amazing speakers!.......2007-11-22
I do not use to write reviews, but I want to share my experience with this one. I was not certain about this product brand and its quality, so I read the reviews where possible. Almost all of them are positive about the good product quality and performance. I took my chances and bought one from Amazon and this was one of the best things I have made. You will experience a very impressive sound for the size of the speakers, which is also convenient for your home desktop computer place. No interferences, just nice sound for enjoying music. It is not a cheap product, but if you can afford it you will not regret it.

Good sound for the price.......2007-12-25
The sound quality is good for the price.
Based on online photos, I expected the speakers to be big. It turned out to be compact and correct size.
The speaker has a blue LED light which looks cool. Matches my ANTEC case fan lights!
Spend a little more, don't buy this!.......2007-11-30
Ok, you can't go wrong with 20 bucks, right? Wrong!
The sound quality is so-so. Not terrible, but not too great either. The mids are not full enough, which perhaps is expected from speakers of this price range. The subwoofers are reasonable. Overall, the sound quality, while not great, are still deserving of 4 stars because of the price factor.
The reason I am giving it 2 stars is the ANNOYING sound it makes every few minutes, just before a cell phone is going to ring, or there is some electrical disturbance, and sometimes for reasons unknown to me (perhaps a cell phone 20 feet away!). There is no shielding whatsoever. The noise is highly disturbing, and EXTREMELY loud (it doesnt matter if the speaker volume is turned down). I was actually woken up from sleep last night by a terrible screech it made around 1 AM. In short, it has made the speakers unusable for my purposes and I am going to return them today.
Good for the money.......2007-11-30
I received and set it up yesterday and my initial impression is it's OK. I don't believe that price effects performance, so I'm not going to give it 5 stars because it only costs x dollars. It's better than I expected but it doesn't sound great. For $15-$20, it's about as good as you can expect, so if this is your price range, then I recommend it.
Setup was easy except it was overpackaged. There were too many wrappers and ties that needed to be torn/undone. I needed scissors to cut through plastic tape. It's very easy to operate. There's a power button and a volume knob. It about as intuitive at it gets. I prefer this over a single volume knob that has to be clicked on since I can save the volume setting with a separate power button.
Overall 3 stars. Value for the $ 4.5 stars.
Pleased Customer.......2007-11-17
I had reviewed a number of speakers before choosing Cyber, the addition of the woofer box is what initially sold me on the product. The performance for the price is extrodinary.
Arrived in great shape and I could not be more pleased.
solid.......2007-10-10
These speakers give you great bass & sound (unless you want to break glass) for their small size and are really cheap. Perfect for mp3 player, which is what I use mine for. They do pick up static when a cell phone is being used, or just before it's about to ring. Also, your whole room will have pale blue light if you try to play them as you're falling asleep at night. My previous roommate loved them too and decided to buy her own speakers once I moved out. Besides the light, I couldn't be happier with them!

A generally good system, but service was very poor.......2007-12-04
First, let me say that this product offers exactly what I was looking for in terms of functionality. It plays CDs and my (3rd gen) iPod, has a wake-up alarm function, and has pretty good sound. It's also very attractive.
Unfortunately, when I first received the product, only half of the CD trays worked, so, I sent it in to have it worked on under warranty. After paying another $25 to ship it back to the company, I received it perhaps nearly a month later (much longer than was necessary considering that they simply shipped me a new unit). Communication with the company was unreliable and their emails were terse and ambiguous, which is something I really will not accept. So, despite being a good product (when it works), the fact that it was initially broken and the poor service will likely prevent me from buying from jWin any time soon.
Good product.......2007-10-28
Overall a good product. My wife and I needed something that was versatile for both CD's and our digital music. This machine has worked out almost perfectly. My only issue is that it needs an EQ or a sub-woofer.
good for the money.......2007-09-01
Works good with mp3s and audio
didn't test it yet with iPod(Istill haven't decided wich one to buy :)
I miss an EQ
even a preset will do
maybe on the next gadget
sound is really good At first I thought about buying a buffer but you don't really need it
The remote has a narrow angle (that's another minus )

Customer Reviews:
SOUND THROUGHOUT MY HOME.......2007-10-20
Originally I had planned on spending over $10,000+ to have music throughout my home. But with the EOS Wireless system and four speakers I can have beautiful digital music playing in all or just some of the rooms of my house. Each speaker's volume can be adjusted from completely off to as loud as you like.
The sound is superb and is great for parties or simply for my own audiophile enjoyment. I installed it myself and I am hardly a techy. My girlfriends think I am brilliant.
I recommend this to any audiophile who has an IPod (any MP3 player), or like me, has an extensive Music Library on my computer.
Excellent Service; not so great product (not the seller's fault).......2007-08-30
I oredred the EOS system because I liked the idea of being able to filter sound throughout my home wirelessly. Well, the sound quality wasn't on par in my opinion. It was very fuzzy and the speakers would get staticy on songs with low bass lines. This again was no fault of the seller's. I received excellent customer service, speedy responses and delivery. In the future, I will not purchase electronics via the Internet (based on reviews) unless I have experienced them for myself first.
Finally, a wireless system that sounds good!.......2007-07-19
I have an older house with walls that fall apart if I start putting holes through them for moving speaker wire around. I have been waiting for worthwhile wireless speakers for some time. While EOS may not be perfect, I have been impressed with the clarity, range, and ease of use.
Pro's:
- Easy to use and very intuitive. I was playing music within 3 minutes of taking it out of the box.
- The wireless speaker worked over 100 feet away on a different floor
- Recharging the iPod Nano Gen 1(which fit just fine) was a nice, convenient feature.
- remote was handy. Ability to add up to 4 speakers is a great option
- several friends have commented on how nice it looks, sounds, and how they wish they had one in their home (we've been using ours in the kitchen)
- no skipping in any of the music; the wireless did not interfere with my 2.4 Ghz phone or wireless modem signals.
Con's:
- no off switch; there are blue lights on the base unit and antenna when it is plugged in as well as the antenna on the wireless speaker when plugged in. Seems like a waste of energy.
- the wireless speaker's volume is not controllable via the remote. Only the base unit is controlled by the remote. You can adjust volume on the top of the wireless speaker
If wireless speakers is what you are after, the EOS is a good option.

Your iPod is ideal when you're on the go. But when you're hanging around the house, wouldn't it be great to fill the room - any room - with incredible sound? Introducing the Altec Lansing M602 powered audio system. It's the complete package: striking good looks, plus rich, clear sound from its four custom-designed speakers. What's more, the M602 is surprisingly affordable, so you can still send the kids to college. Just place your iPod into the M602's built-in dock and enjoy.
Amazon.com Product Description
Your iPod is an ideal companion when you're on the move, but why restrict yourself to listening through headphones only? With the black Altec Lansing M602 powered audio system, iPod listeners can enjoy crisp, high-definition sound anywhere in the home, from the living room to the garage. The M602 offers the complete package-- striking good looks, immersive sound, and an affordable price tag that won't clear out the bank account. Audio-wise, the system is equipped with a powerful digital amplifier, two specially engineered 3-inch, full-range neodymium drivers, and two 1-inch silk- dome tweeters, all of which combine to deliver a full spectrum of pure, distinct sound. The resulting frequency range extends from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, an impressive performance for such a compact system. The unit also produces surprisingly deep bass thanks to the XdB bass-enhancement technology.
At the center of the M602 sits a universal dock that amplifies, recharges, and syncs your iPod while you listen. Simply drop your "dockable" iPod inside--the system is built for the iPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod photo, iPod video, iPod mini, and iPod nano--and you're set. In addition, owners of older iPods or other MP3 players can use the system as well, as the M602 comes with a universal MP3 cradle and an auxiliary input. The cradle fits inside the universal dock for easy front and center storage.

All the standard controls are available, including play, forward, back, volume, bass, treble, and standby. Just sit back and enjoy.
Other details an elegant, wall-mountable design that looks great on the living room table or the kitchen wall; a composite video output that lets you play your iPod video through most TVs (cable not included); and a headphone jack for private listening.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.......2007-08-13
I bought two of this speakers.I gave one to my daughter and the other is mine.My daughter prefers alternative /rock music and I prefer jazz and mellow music.This speakers fit for bought case. I just wish it can run with batteries ,but I think it is meant for indoor.VERY GOOD BUY FOR GOOD BRAND SPEAKERS...
Dies too quickly.......2007-04-18
This didn't last very long. I was happy with it until it died. The sound quality was good. It was easy and convenient to use. And then after three months (of light use; maybe once a week), it stopped working, emitting a loud, repetitive static-like sound. I tried a variety of things to convince it to work, but no luck. So I'm quite disappointed that the quality was so low that it lasted for such a short time. Luckily it was a gift; I would be very upset if I'd paid money for this thing. I need to buy another one, but will be avoiding this brand from now on.
Amazing sound quality.......2007-04-02

Good Enough.......2007-12-21
These speakers aren't great but they also don't suck. I replaced a pair of really sucky speakers with these and they do exactly what I need them to. The volume is loud enough to fill an office sized room without distortion. The bass is a bit low and I had to turn up the tone nob but most people like deep bass so I'm probably alone in upping the tone (they definitely don't sound tinny). I paid $10 less than they are listed for and think that $30 is a tad bit too much. As long as they don't die within a year they're worth $20.
They serve me well.......2007-12-10
I bought these to connect to a satellite radio when we travel and they serve the purpose quite nicely. We weren't looking for booming base or loudness, just good frequency response across the board at room listening levels, and they do that well. We haven't used them enough to comment on longevity.
Agreed: Junk.......2007-12-07
Well, I bought these at a nameless office supply store which apparently got its name by selling refills for staplers. In the price range, these LOOKED like they would be the best as far as reproducing a full range of sound.
I took them home to discover what they really sounded like....tinny and flat. It sounded as though someone has taken a decent speaker and covered it with a flat metal plate. Really bad....really lifeless. And no amount of equalization could help it.
Speakers to AVOID.......2007-10-20
These speakers are absolute JUNK~~~ While sounding no better than a couple of 2 inch speakers, which is exactly what you get, they worked for all of 4 weeks before the built-in amplifier failed and only one speaker worked. In desperation I took the speakers apart and found that there are not two speakers in each; the units have a small speaker and a passive radiator to give the visual illusion of two speakers in each unit. Save you money and look to something a lot less expensive to fill your needs. It is too bad that one of the most respected names in speakers until 1975 is now used by a maker of trash toys.
Serves its purpose, nicely.......2007-09-14
These speakers are small, and so they are designed to fit very small spaces and work as computer speakers for basic, everyday use. Right? Yeah, I think if you want something greater for extreme gaming or booming bass then you need to look elsewhere. These are pretty much bottom of the line Altec Lansing, and for the purpose they were designed for, they work great. They do have good bass and respond well to sound you put through them for a small room or deskspace atmosphere. No, they wont fill a room with astounding vibrations and blow you away, but the quality of sound for a small desk space is very nice. They will get distorted at higher volumes, but if you have a small deskspace, how often are you really going to blast your music? I have been impressed with Altec Lansing for their products, and because these speakers work well for the reason they were made, I give them 4 solid starts. Not 5 because they aren't the BEST speakers out there, but they deserve 4.

Eos Wireless Stereo Speakers
Wireless multi-room audio has never been easier. Just plug an Eos wireless speaker into any wall outlet, inside or out and turn up the volume...that's all. Want to move your music to another place? Just unplug it and plug it in somewhere else, it's that easy. The Eos base station allow you to add up to four wireless speakers anywhere around your home. The rugged design of the Eos wireless stereo speakers makes them perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
Speaker Design
The design of the wireless remote speaker features a removable, integrated power supply that allows the speaker to mount directly on a wall power outlet without mounting brackets. By removing the power supply from its cavity on the rear of the cabinet, the stereo remote speaker can sit independently on a counter top or bookshelf. The supported surround sound feature improves dynamic audio performance, expands the size of the audio image and improves low frequency sounds.
Signal
Proprietary wireless transmission technology uses a dynamic frequency hopping modulation scheme that operates in the 2400 to 2483 GHz frequency for advanced error protection and correction, allowing the speaker to operate free of interference from Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, or cordless telephones. The system comes backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

Great Sound for Wireless Speaker.......2007-11-29
I bought this unit to accompany the main base unit (EOS 100T1RB Wireless Audio System.) I have both wireless speakers (the base unit comes with one) set up in my house which is made primarily of cement and metal rebar. Like any other wireless device (cordless phone or WIFI network) the signal strength does break down with increased distance in this type of home. To my amazement these speakers function quite well in this difficult environment. In a house composed of wood, I would fully expect them to reach the range of manufacturer.
On to the important stuff. I would have given this product five stars, but my only ding is the lack of deep rich base; I'm a purist and like to feel and hear my deep rich base. But I tell you honestly, for the price and the concept these speakers can't be touched. They have amazingly rich sound in the mid and upper range and the independent volume adjustment of each speaker allows you to blend the music evenly depending on your listening environment. The speakers have a plug that either remains affixed to the back and you plug the speaker directly into the wall (think night light style, covers plug) or you can remove the plug and it has about a three foot wire lead that allows you to place the speaker on a table or as I have them, on pillars, (covered) outdoors.
While this review isn't specifically for the main docking station, I'll take a minute to speak on that as well. The docking station is very user friendly and really has a strong sound. The remote controls both the volume and with my Nano, play, pause, skip forward and backward. All of the units have a soft blue light in the antenna for the wireless system and they glow when the units are turned on. The main base unit can support up to four wireless speakers (three additionally purchased.) Also important, this unit can be used with other non-Ipod MP3 players or the like. There is an auxiliary cord that can be plugged into the headphone jack of just about any other player and can be run through the docking station (BONUS.) Finally if you do have an Ipod family player, the docking station does charge the player when in the cradle.
All in all, while not the cheapest docking station on the market (did you really think a wireless unit would be under $15 at your discount store) the concept is novel and the sound quality is defiantly worth the investment. With the flexibility to move the speakers from plug to plug, you can customize your listening arenas.
