Logitech have unveiled a new range of desktop speakers, offering what it claims is “360-degree sound”. Half of the new systems on offer consist of a stereo pair, while the remainder are 2.1 setups with separate subwoofers; the former includes the Logitech Speaker System Z520, shown here, with 26W of power, and the Speaker System Z320, which have 10W.
Details of a new device in Logitech’s distributed audio streamer range have emerged, the Logitech Squeezebox Touch. A WiFi-connected base-station controller with 4.3-inch color touchscreen and integrated stereo speakers, the Squeezebox Touch can seemingly both integrated with an existing setup as well as be used to access online music and internet radio.

We kicked off the week with a review of Sony’s OLED Walkman X, coming away mighty impressed by its iPod-besting audio quality. Equally impressive was Flip Video’s Ultra HD pocket camcorder; if only we could say the same for SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone. While on paper this media-shifting app should be a 100-percent winner, AT&T’s decision to bar streaming over their 3G network has left us and many would-be users upset.
Logitech have announced a guitar controller for the PlayStation, licensed by Activision for their Guitar Hero series. The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for PS3 and PS2 has a wood neck and body, plus a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets, while its wireless system offers up to 30ft of range.

Logitech announced a new set of high-end earbuds today called the Ultimate Ears 700 and this set really does stand out from the pack. And though you will pay the price for these buds, it might just be worth it for high quality sound and comfort.
