I can promise you that this is, in no way, related to that Hong-Kong earbud crap that I posted before. Original price on Amazon.com was $80. This is an OEM product.

Now THIS, is a slick deal.

Quote:
Buy.com has Logitech mm28 portable speakers [Review] for $15 with no rebates free shipping. New Google Checkout users may save an extra $10 making it $5. Lowest on PriceGrabber is $27. Thanks Selma.
These speakers are compatible with any device which has a 3.5mm output jack, and can be powered by either 4xAA batteries or included power adapter.

Think about listening to PJ shows from your iPod at work. :idea:

The thread for this at the slickdeals forum is on fire.

The original listed price was $80. Over time, it got bumped down to under $30. Between buy.com and amazon, buy.com is cheaper.

sounds like this speaker is only good for travel and looks to be very lacking in the bass dept.

You're still getting $80 speakers for $15. I think the slickdeals post made everyone aware of the bargain, and thus, they searched for the cheapest price out there.

Cnet gave it a 6.0/10

The good: Logitech definitely put a lot of thought into the design of its economical mm28 speakers. At only 1.24 inches thick, the svelte speaker system incorporates a combination protective cover/stand and integrated cable management.

The bad: The Logitech mm28 use NXT flat-panel technology, a relatively new speaker breakthrough that is still in its infancy in terms of sound quality. As a result, these speakers sound rather flat and high-end heavy. Users with bass-driven music will undoubtedly be disappointed by the lack of punch that you can hear in other portable speakers in the same $80 price range.

The bottom line: Logitech's mm28 speakers will add style points to your decor but deliver less than satisfying audio fidelity.


(I bet if the score would be much higher if they reviewed it at the current price)

I just bought them for $4 because I'm a first time Google Checkout user.

Fuck you, Sunny! I can't say no to your slickdeals! Sure the earbuds were shit, but I was only out $4. Now ... NOW ... now, I'm in for four MORE bucks!!!

If these speakers don't fuck me up, then you're not allowed to post slickdeals shit anymore! Or you must at least merge this all into one slickdeals thread.

Really? I've been pretty happy with mine. I used my wife's e-mail account to open another google checkout account and buy another set.

You lucky bastards. I've been using GCO for a while, so I paid $14, which is still an amazing deal. I can't believe you guys got $80 speakers for $4. :shock:

Like a rattle? I've cranked them w/o that problem. I'll try again later to be sure.

Maybe yours was damaged?

How do like them? They sound pretty damn good for speakers so thin. I've listened to about 5 PJ shows on the same battery set.
