The Logitech S150 is the most basic USB desktop speaker Logitech makes. 1.2W total, two tiny drivers, USB power, plug and play. No subwoofer, no frills, no surprises.
The USB connection is class-compliant, meaning Windows, macOS, and Linux all recognize it immediately with zero driver installation. There’s a front-facing 3.5mm headphone output on one of the speakers, which is a genuinely useful touch for quickly switching to headphones.
Sound quality is exactly what 1.2W suggests: clear enough for speech, system sounds, and quiet background audio. Anything louder or bass-heavy reveals the limits quickly. These are not music speakers — they’re desktop utility speakers.
At $18 and under, the S150 exists in a category where most alternatives are worse. The Logitech brand brings reliability that unbranded equivalents often lack. The compact size and foldable design make them easy to store or travel with.
The inline volume knob on the cable works fine. On-ear adjustments aren’t instant, but for a speaker you set once and leave, it’s acceptable.
Verdict
The S150 is for people who need the absolute minimum functional audio from a trusted brand at the lowest possible price. If you mainly take calls and occasionally watch videos, they’re perfectly adequate. Anyone who listens to music regularly should spend the extra $40 for a 2.1 system.
