PREVIEW - Logitech mm28 Portable Speakers
Posted by Jack Cook on 06/5/06 in Music Players, PocketPC, Previews, Smart Phones

Take a look at what my first impressions were as I opened for the first time the Logitech® mm28 Portable Speakers. I was impressed with the quality of the speakers and was clearly blown away with the extraordinary sound as you will see.
This speaker system is powered by NXT flat-panel technology. What does that mean? Well, the easiest way is to say that the entire front surface is a stereo speaker that produces rich tones and lush bass. Pretty incredible!
What particularly intrigues me is its size. Because of its portability, you can use it anywhere with the myriad of devices you have accumulated like your MP3 player, CD player, DVD player, or anything else with a standard headphone jack output.
Flip the cover closed, store the 3.5 mm input jack in the back and you are good to go. Oh, if by some chance your batteries die (which seems unlikely because they rate them to last up to 45 hours), there is an AC power adapter you can use.































Thank you for the informative review! Well done!
Thanks Rick! I am really enjoying it. Yesterday, I had it playing NON-STOP for 12 hours…perfect.
I am testing just to see how close to the 45 hours it will come using just “copper top” batteries….if it comes close, I can’t imagine what the ULTRA batteries would give.
Great review- really like the true 1st impression format!
Are there any plans for a Bluetooth model? Would be nice to have the PDA connected to AC power, and be able to move the speakers wherever you want. 45 hour battery life is great, but you’re still limited by PDA battery life.
And was that some distortion I heard at the 7:30 point?
;)
Thanks KCMatt, I appreciate the kind words.
Yes that was a bit of distortion but NOT from the speaker…I believe it occured with my old VCR that was used to record. I have not noticed any distortion from these speakers.
It would be nice to have BT…..who knows, maybe on the next iteration it will appear.
Battery life on the PDA does limit you but you will have the comfort of long battery life with the speakers…..
Great review Jack! Thanks for another excellent idea.
Good sounds too….
Where’d you get it?

I assume it is also available at major retail stores or will be very soon.
What a fantastic way to review equipment before buying it! The video was brilliant and after seeing the speaker in action i’m going to buy one to take on holiday.
Thanks

Thanks Jack for an informative video. In fact, as i’m typing this, I’m listening to the mm28 via my I-book. The sound is great whether I’m listening through my I-book or Ipod. After seeing your video and researching this product, I went to J & R Music world to purchase it. I’ve had it about two weeks, and am on my second set of batteries. The only two cons about it are 1.wire length, and 2. no way to tell if the battery is low, except that it keeps cutting off, and the blue light dims. Overall a great product.
