hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room the MX lineup has always at least for me than the premium fully featured devices that comes from Logitech they have their MX master - they have a new MX keyboard being released but today I'm testing their new MX Sam a 2.0 desktop speaker set with a focus on design and audio performance as always being transparent Logitech did send me these for review and I of course put it through its paces and see if they're any good they retail for 99 dollars at the time this video as always I placed my affiliate links in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale so without further adieu I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another video going over the physical features logitech said that they focused on their looks so the MX sound was designed to complement the other MX products in my case I have the master 2's you can be to judge for yourself let me know in the comment section below what do you guys think of their design now for those who are wondering the two smaller round circles are not only for aesthetics but their bass ports aimed out at the rear but more my sound test later the front has a nice premium fabric a bit different from the usual black fabric grills the right speaker has a motion sensor that detects you when your hand is nearby when close enough the MX sound illuminates allowing you to pair and adjust volume up or down now we normally don't see this on desktop speakers but I think having buns the skip pause and play would have been great maybe some LEDs to indicate how loud or how low the speaker is would have been helpful too and having actual hand gestures like a flick of the wrist the skip songs would have been really cool now for what you have and what is provided though the features available works well and they are super responsive now rotating to the rear the right speaker has two three and a half millimeter audio inputs while there's an audio output for a headphone listening the MX sound also incorporates bluetooth 4.1 you can connect up to two devices at the same time as well and I eventually stumbled across this here the switching off devices is nearly seamless as long as both phones are paired at the same time just pause the first phone press play on the other and the audio sources switches no need to go into your Bluetooth settings and last year testing the Bluetooth range I did confirm up to 80 linear feet was possible before the signals start to crackle or fade out alright folks at the moment you've been waiting for the audio test for the first time ever on Jim's Ruby room we're using by neural microphones be sure to put on either headphones or earphones to get the full surround sound audio experience first up is fortress violin iam and there you have it folks for $99 the MX sound has amazing detail soundstage and audio quality all around the reason why I included my audio engine HD 3 desktop speakers in the audio test is because the MX sound provides a similar experience but much cheaper the audio engines are $400 retail and have been my main computer speakers for quite some time alleged I provided very good bass levels for a 2.0 system you're not going to feel the bass per se because there's a lack of a subwoofer like any other 2.0 setup but there's enough here to make personal listening very much enjoyable pop and idiom absolutely sounded fine hip-hop and bass heavy songs do decent but needs a bit more deep resonating bass to have those genres stand out now similar to my HD threes what really shines across all genres is the mid-range it's bright clean articulate detailed and offers tons of audio separation the vocals and instruments are for the spatial separation from left to right are very much distinguishable Audio can be heard in the forefront of the singers while there's instruments being played behind them it also performs as good again as my HD 3s that I love the high notes don't get ting your recipe the highs do miss out on that sparkle up top for rock music a bit their snare drums and cymbal crashes could have been a bit sharper to make them shine at those high frequencies but overall I'm very impressed by the auto quality and just the $100 price range now I do wish there were other lifestyle or convenience features like hand gestures to control music specifically pause and play or NFC would have been nice but overall if you're in the $100 price range you're fine with a 2.0 desktop setup there's no sub woofer and you can forego those extra features that you might find on other more expensive speakers the MX sound is seriously worth a look at so that's it folks be sure to LIKE and subscribe follow me on Facebook Twitter and or Instagram again I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision you guys take care and I'll see you on the next one bye
