In one perspective, this creates a less “in your face” approach compared to most other portable speakers.

The dampening of the sound gave the Z305 a distinct veiled signature that could be described as being “recessed”. On that note though, there was a slight detriment to the sound quality due to the “behind the screen” design. The Logitech speaker easily filled a small room with rich sound, and a quick walk revealed nearly consistent audio quality no matter where I was relative to the speaker. Logitech advertises this sound bar as having 360 degree sound, which means it has a much wider “audio sweet spot” than other directional speakers, and I have to say I can’t deny their claim. It gracefully reproduced most parts of the sound spectrum beyond my expectations. Overall, the Z305 was a pleasure to review. I have to mention again, the great soundstage of these speakers contributed immensely to the overall image of the track. The song went on with the timbales on the right, and a steady bass rift on the left, and sounded incredibly spacious during Santana’s guitar solo.Įven with the lack of bass impact, the speaker still managed to make this song sound terrific with a fantastic reproduction of highs, and a relatively short bass decay time. In this song, the speaker had a pleasant surprise of an absolutely fantastic soundstage for speakers of this calibre. Santana’s radical guitar slides sound O’ so good with these. The speaker again performs superbly with this song.

However as expected, the 20mm drivers struggled with the bass, resulting in a less dynamic sounding track that shies away from the original uplifting beat. The highs were very well done as well, with good detail shown across the track. The Z305 performed admirably in the mids, by reproducing the entrancing vocals of Nic Chagall with great detail and smoothness. This song consisted of great vocals and sparkle that reveals the mid and high capabilities of speakers, as well as a great beat to judge the speed and intensity of bass response.

In such a compact form, the Z305 is equipped with one 20mm driver on each end. In addition, there is a handy little 3.5mm input jack for users intending to use the speaker with their PMPs.

Just a note, that since the Z305 is a true USB speaker, these buttons double as dedicated Windows volume adjustments. Since the speaker will be behind the laptop screen, these buttons are a stroke of brilliance by Logitech as they are extremely easy to find, even in the dark. On top of the speaker, there are 3 jumbo sized speakers dedicated to power and volume. A personal peeve of mine is loose cables, and Logitech managed to carve out extremely well designed cable guide underneath the speaker that one could store the cable out of use. One thing Logitech knows very well is user experience, and they demonstrated their years of experience in ergonomics and design through other recent products such as the N700 Lapdesk, which was a great fusion of sound quality and cooling performance. Overall this mechanism is very well designed, and I would confidently keep the speaker on my laptop during travels. This is an excellent design improving on the portability of their previous V20 laptop speakers, improving the ease of use greatly. A giant spring loaded clip secures the Z305 onto the bezel of the laptop screen, and the rubber strips beside the clip makes it “stick” to the back of the screen to prevent any rattling. Under the Logitech logo is where the business end of this speaker can be found. The body is made out of durable ABS plastic, and despite the speakers being located on each end, the center chamber is surprisingly solid and does not reverberate. Overall, the speaker feels very light, but not flimsy. I will explain later on why I was completely wrong about it. To me, it appeared to be a giant kit-kat bar with a Logitech symbol on top, and I thought that there was no way this would be a serious set of speakers instead of a cool gadget.

First thing that struck me about the Z305 out of the box was its size.
