Logitech Z515

The $100 Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 is a simple solution for freeing your music from the aural prison of your computer and mobile audio player. We've reviewed portable Bluetooth speakers in the past, but most have to sacrifice price for size like the SoundMatters FoxL v2, a tiny Bluetooth speaker that'll set you back $200. The Logitech Z515, on the other hand, offers decent audio quality, two ways to connect to the speaker, and a tough outer shell built to handle the rigors of portable play for $100, while still maintaining a small footprint. It lacks features like a remote control and the option to use alkaline batteries, but we still have no issue recommending the Z515. On the other hand, if you care more about sound quality than size, the Creative D100 comes with dual 3-inch drivers (the Z515 has dual 2-inch drivers) and a price tag $20 cheaper than the Logitech. The Z515 is made of a tough black plastic and has two 2-inch drivers mounted on the front of the speaker, but they're hidden behind a solid mesh grille to protect them from the elements. We're not thrilled with the aesthetics of the speakers, and it feels clunky and boring next to the Creative D100's four color options and oval construction.
