That significantly had an effect on the sound quality. The X-230 sounds a lot better in comparison. I get a more surround sound feel with the X-230, but I can't say the same about the X-240's. Easily X-230 > X-240.

I install sound systems, I've installed about 10 x-230 as auxiliary systems. I suggested one more for one customer, then I realized that they stopped the X-230.I bought the x-240: Very cheap ( not the price) ! Not even close to the X-230. Deceptive. My first Logitech product that sucks !!Makes a hum noise when you hook up to the power, the speakers connector doesn't fit well and the cradle is very fragile.

I only tried these not the x1x but if the x1x have any bass levels at all, they have won in that category. The 101b had none. Just very loud highs, noticeably higher than the original iphone set I've been using. Go to sears try 101b then return them if u want.

I would say yes as the Mont Blanc amp is supposed to be fantastic, but I wouldn't buy one just to pair with an X3. The X3's amp is pretty damn solid and I think the difference would be neglagable, unless you're using cans that need a lot of current. Now if you're buying the amp anyways and are going to use it on different devices of course pair it with the X3 ;). I mean the main purpose of the X3 is an awesome sounding all in one device, so you don't have to lug around a seperate amp. I've been the separate amp route and I've spent way, way too much on portable audio stuff - so I appreciate the value and simplicity of the X3. The X3 and a nice mid high end set of iem's is all I need in my portable setup, and my wallet thanks me! Sorry about rambling on lol, there is better sounding gear for sure, but how much do you want to spend and when do you reach the point of deminishing returns? I don't visit sites like head fi anymore, keeps me out of trouble ;) They are always coming out with bigger and better things damn them :)

What operating system are you using? I bought this speaker for a laptop running Vista (which worked beautifully, by the way, because it was configured for Vista). The speaker and Vista didn't work smoothly. When I switched from the laptop's built-in speakers to the Logitech I often had to reboot after I set the Logitech as my default speaker. Then it would work great. It was a nuisance but the Logitech was such an improvement over the wimpy built-in speaker that it was worth it. My new laptop has great built-in speakers so I don't need to use the add on. The Logitech's a great little speaker, though.

I have personally not heard the xl7s but if you look at the specs on the website the speakers are the same size, material and frequency response so I would wager they sound the same. The xlbp gives you twice the speakers for your money (I believe there's a half price sale going on right now too). As far as the sound I love my bipolar speakers. They don't quite have the soundstage or transparency to be used as fronts but as surrounds they are perfect. Hope this helps!

I had the 700Xs before these, if you like the sound of the 700xs you will love the sound of these. I find that the noise supression on these much better than the 700s. Since I work in cubeville... it is great to be able to listen to music at whatever level I like without my neighbor knowing I am listening at all.

I've never compared them, but the Logitechs rock. I own both the Z623s and the Klipsch Promedia 2.1s, and the Logitechs are noticably better, especially on the bass end. The z623s offer 330 watts of peak power (200 watts RMS) and a 7 inch woofer, so be prepared to get plenty of complaints in you're in a dorm. :)

From what I've read the 700x is more comfortable and for me they are, but as many people have said they fit a large head. Also 700x are a updated version, with a slightly adjusted bass response. Complaints of the original 700s was that they were lacking bass. I power them with asus essence stx sound card and would rate them very highly for their price, comfort, sound quality. Maybe like a 9/10

I completely agree with Dr. Jenkins. You can purchase amazing speakers (with a sub woofer) for approximately $35.00 You will find the sound to be incredible for the small cost. I have a Logitech 2.1 system that I paid $32.00 for about 4 years ago and it has unbelievable quality and power. Amazon has a vast selection of great products. Just type in 2.1 computer speakers in the search bar.

I prefer Klipsch. The logitech doesn't have as rich sound in mid-ranges which I play a lot. I purchased the z623 and compared it side by side to my friend's Klipsch and much preferred the Klipsch. The sound is louder, broader and richer. I am returning the z623.

It depends on your priority. If you care more about music experience than the latest movie surround sound than it's worth it. For me, I wouldn't trade it for the x4000.

They definitely do sound better. It's like a richer and fuller sound. The difference in the lower frequencies can be heard most significantly. For sound quality, I recommend highly.

The X5 is better sounding. Also better menu structure. Its a terrific device.

There is. While the standard 42's are pleasant, they do have some issues due to not having a true crossover. The X's have crossovers, which makes them wonderfully accurate and balanced speakers. Nothing in this price range can touch them!

Yes, I have compared the two. I returned the Fluance SX6's, and kept the Pioneer BS22's. The Fluance's were very dynamic, and sounded great playing trance or other electronic music, but the Pioneers have a warmer mellower sound that I really like for the long haul.

These aren't about true surround, they don't have multiple drivers. They do produce some GREAT simulated surround, clarity and soundstage. I use mine for gaming and music all the time.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG
