Good Gadgets Cheap: Logitech S120 Speakers
by Bob Schwartz
Thousand dollar computers. Five hundred dollar smartphones. Ten dollar speakers.
Sitting on the counter, framing the food processor, mixer, blender and coffee grinder, are a pair of Logitech S120 speakers. Ten bucks, more or less; these come off the shelf from Walmart. They fill the kitchen with decent sounding symphonies, and the sound isn’t too bad overheard in adjacent rooms either.
You could splurge and go for the Z130 and get 5 watts instead of 2.3 watts, at about twice the price. You may already have a more powerful audio setup, one that really offers mind-numbing volume and fidelity to satisfy the most discerning listener. Good. But in that space where you just want to plug your phone into something and happily listen, this can’t be beat.
The bigger point may be that happiness and satisfaction come in lots of packages, and they are not all precious and expensive. Just because it cost only ten dollars doesn’t mean it won’t turn making breakfast—and maybe your whole day—into something special.

Amen to that. Any tips on wireless speakers? Not a lot of room here for the extra clutter.
Funny you should ask about wireless speakers, because there is a cheap solution to that too. If you already have any speakers or systems with speakers you like, you don’t have to buy new ones. The Logitech Bluetooh Speaker Adapter costs less than $40, and this tiny box turns any speaker system wireless. Simple to set up, good wireless range and…cheap.
Fantastique! Thanks!
You’re welcome.
I think the very fact that they cause ten dollars might be one of the main feelgood points to your morning.
So true. Nothing like a genuine bargain to set your priorities straight and to put excess in its place.
