I got two of these Logitech mm28's from buy.com for less than $25USD (that's right, $12.50 each!) delivered a couple of months ago. Current pricing/availability varies I've had some time to put them to the test so here's my mini-review:The design is excellent and the sound is adequate. Compact, covered, and with audio cord storage this unit is sleek and easy to pack. The cover rotates to become a speaker stand. Placement is critical to maximize soundstage and bass response YMMV.
Works great when 2 or more people are watching DVDs on laptop or handheld in car or tent. Works great as an MP3 player, or video camera playback amp/speaker too. AA battery consumption is minimal and can go at least 50 hrs/set of 4.
Some may find the 12" audio cord a bit short. My one and only gripe is that the unit's auto-power off function (while great to save battery life when on battery power) is also active when the speakers are plugged in to AC power. This is inconvenient on the set I use on my work laptop (when docked) because the speakers deactivate after about 5 mins of mute.
All in all these speakers are techsexy, compact, inexpensive, indestructable, and provide adequate response. Great value/price ratio here. I got two. One is attached to my laptop docking station and the other travels with me, and when home, is plugged into the XM radio feed.
