    Logitech launches lotsa low-priced, loud speakers

    Logitech has released four new systems with “360-degree sound,” an improvement to their desktop speakers that makes them “sound great.”

    Unlike standard PC speakers that use forward-firing drivers, the four new Logitech multimedia speaker systems feature 360-Degree Sound, or omnidirectional acoustics, which creates a substantially wider sweet spot – an especially helpful feature if you often move your computer around your home or office. With speaker drivers that face forward and backwards in each satellite, these four new speakers are designed to transmit sound more consistently over a wider range of space so you never miss a beat no matter where you are in the room.

    The models include the Z320 ($69), Z323 ($69), Z520 ($129.99) and Z523 ($99) sets. → Read More

    Video: The Xbox 360 Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller

    Xbox 360′s owners can soon stop being jelous of the PS3 Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller. Yup, soon they will be able to get their own premium wireless controller with a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, a virtually silent strum bar and metal frets. The controller is an official liscenced product so it should work seemlessly for Guitar Hero when it launches this August for $199. → Read More

    Logitech announces the Bluetooth Mouse M555b

    Logitech‘s Bluetooth mouse lineup has been somewhat non-exsistant lately, but the M555b takes care of that. This mouse seems like your standard two-button mouse but the wheel features the hyper-fast scolling that some love in the MX Revolution line. Plus the mouse features laser tracking and a low-battery indicator for the AA power source. → Read More

    The Logitech Flight System G940: Large and in charge

    You better be really into flight simulators to own the new Flight System G940 from Logitech. I mean, you better have a multi-monitor setup and a custom gaming chair that these controllers can bolt onto if you’re going to own this. Flight simulators better be your life because this bad boy system costs $299. Never mind the fact that it has some impressive-sounding features and is probably the most authentic feeling rig outside of a NASA simulator. → Read More

    CrunchDeals: Logitech Harmony 510 remote for $50

    Amazon’s got the Logitech Harmony 510 remote on sale for just under $50 for a limited time — not a bad deal since it goes for around $70 to $80 or so elsewhere. The universal remote industry in general might — just might — be experiencing slow sales now that people are saving up all their money for boring stuff like food and rent. Oh well. Our gain (as it pertains to remote controls). → Read More

    Logitech Ultimate Ears 700 bust out

    Listen, if Peter Wentz of Fall Out Boy loves Ultimate Ears, then you will too. “Ultimate Ears…I love ‘em. They block out all outside noise so all I hear is beautiful music.” Yeah, beautiful music, that’s what you have been missing with lesser quality earphones. The latest ‘phones from Logitech’s Ultimate Ears sports two hi-fi channels per ear, which UE tells us will passively block-out unwanted noise up to 26dB. Want beautiful music? It will cost you $229.99, but don’t think about using these with iPod shuffle 2K9. Yup, the earphones do not sport in-line controls or the required proprietary chip. Apple hates you. → Read More

    Review: Logitech Harmony 1100

    Candybar remotes are just so boring and complicated with all of their buttons and whatnot, but large touchscreen remotes are pricey. Enter the Logitech Harmony 1100; a quasi-hybrid of the two options. Unfortunately, the melding of both doesn’t create a best of both worlds, but more like a jack of all trades and master of none.

    Logitech intro’d the 1100 predecessor a few years ago and it seems the company has addressed a lot of the original’s criticism. The screen is greatly improved, the battery life is now longer, and the UI’s been tweaked a bit. However while it may look like a higher-end Creston or Control4 pad, it’s anything but. The 1100 is just a Harmony with a touchscreen — that’s not a bad thing, though. And although the price might be right, it does leave you longing for more. → Read More

    G19-watch continues: Now available for pre-order

    More news on the G19: Amazon is now taking pre-orders. No more news on the release date, other than that it’s supposed to be in May. I just hope Logitech doesn’t have to slip it again. I’m really looking forward to this sexy thing. → Read More

    Logitech G19 delayed until May

    Not a whole lot of information on exactly why, but Logitech announced recently that they are delaying their new top of the line keyboard, the G19, until May. Given the amount of tech that’s going into this thing, I’m not surprised that they’re having issues. → Read More

    The Logitech Harmony 1100 goes on sale

    Logitech went official with the Harmony 1100 just a few weeks ago and already it’s available for purchase. Newegg has the touchscreen universal remote for the low, low price of $499 with free shipping. In order to take advantage of the killer RF capabilities, you’ll have to spend an extra $99 on the RF Extender though. But that money is well spent as with the RF mode and a few extra long cables, all the AV equipment can be hidden away and controlled with this macro-powered universal remote. → Read More
