The Logitech AudioStation is a premium "desktop" speaker system. As with most speakers in this class - compact, one-piece systems that require AC power - the Logitech AudioStation offers bigger (and better) sound than most portable iPod speaker systems.

If you get a sense of déjà vu when looking at the Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000, check out Microsoft's Xbox 360 headset. Add a splash of black and, voila! The Xbox branding may have gone, but when you plug in the receiver it still thinks it's found an Xbox peripheral.
