Logitech Z213 2.1 Speaker System
A cheap, simple desk speaker upgrade with real bass, limited volume and some reliability complaints.
The short version
- Anyone who wants better sound than a laptop or monitor speaker on a small desk
- Home offices that need clear voices on calls and some bass for music
- You want Bluetooth without buying an adapter
- You need enough volume to fill a living room or for loud gaming
- You want USB power instead of a wall outlet
What owners like
- Fuller sound and more bass than built-in laptop speakers, for little money
- Control pod with a headphone jack is handy at a desk

Common complaints
- Maximum volume is modest, not enough for a large room or loud movies and games
- Thin cabling, with some owners reporting crackle or dropouts that needed the wire moved
- Some reports of a speaker failing within weeks

What it does
A small wired desktop speaker set with two satellites, a down-firing subwoofer and a control pod, which plugs into any 3.5 mm headphone jack.
- Wired control pod with power switch, volume and a headphone jack
- Bass adjustment on the speaker unit
- Works with computers, phones, tablets and music players over a 3.5 mm cable
- No software or drivers needed
- Satellites are angled upward toward the listener
A cheap, simple upgrade over laptop or monitor speakers for music, video calls and casual video at a desk. It is low powered at 7 watts RMS, so it will not fill a room or suit loud gaming, and some owners report wiring faults and early failures. Stock is getting thin, with several retailers listing it as out of stock or discontinued.
