How is this compared to the Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Speaker - OLD MODEL?

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

This is my only Logitech Bluetooth but I can tell you it is better than my under $100 wired speakers. I was very reluctant to do bt speakers. I Googled a fair amount of reviews specs etc then tossed caution to the wind. I am more than pleased.Something else - I have discovered these music players and equalizers are not so hot. I found that pre-set settings such as Middle or Normal give best sound. Your speakers will sound bad if you pump up the artificial bass (they are only software mods). Hope you make as good a choice for you as I did for me.

Why is the Blutooth range so much shorter on this unit compared to the Logitech Z515 (30 vs. 50 ft.)?

Hi. I wasn't happy with these and gave them away soon after. Sorry I can't answer in re: Wireless but I wanted to let you know how I felt about the speakers themselves.

What operating system are you using? I bought this speaker for a laptop running Vista (which worked beautifully, by the way, because it was configured for Vista). The speaker and Vista didn't work smoothly. When I switched from the laptop's built-in speakers to the Logitech I often had to reboot after I set the Logitech as my default speaker. Then it would work great. It was a nuisance but the Logitech was such an improvement over the wimpy built-in speaker that it was worth it. My new laptop has great built-in speakers so I don't need to use the add on. The Logitech's a great little speaker, though. What operating system are you using?

I Have both and they both sound great! Klipsch go a little louder, but I have no complaints with either. My Klipsch are about 8 years old and still playing, Logitechs about 2. Go by price.

Christine, on my recommendation, my girlfriend purchased on of these for her iPod. It worked flawlessly and she loved its simplicity of use. I was so impressed with the sound quality and performance that a year later I bought one for myself. Neither of us has had any issues with Bluetooth performance or range. I have purchased several JBL products: I've had my Altec-Lansing (a product line of JBL's) iM7 iPod portable speaker for almost ten years and wouldn't give it up for anything) and have been impressed with them all.

I *think* I paid ~$50 for it around 4 years ago. It definitely has a good sound, but is only that expensive because Logitech doesn't make it anymore. In fact, I have been unable to find any similar quality USB laptop speaker from other manufacturers. Everything seems to be Bluetooth which doesn't work well with Windows 7.

I have not found any downsides to wireless, no problems with the speakers and the sound out of this unit is great

Mine is actually the the mc200. And it is a plug in only. They both have to be plugged in. They are pretty close the 200 has the wi-fi though. Hope this helps. With Bluetooth you maybe limited to range. I am sure the sound the same though also. There are better sounding ones but the price is more than double. I am happy with this choice. We listen to country, soft rock, rock, easy listening stuff and all of them sound perfect. It is pretty loud if you want it to be.

I was disappointed in the Klipschs due to a thumpy bass sound. Both speakers have a pronounced peak at 70Hz with the bass turned up. Turning down the bass on the Logitechs eliminates this peak while turning it down on the Klipschs doesn't. Otherwise the frequency responses are very similar except that the Logitechs also have a another peak around 40Hz with the bass turned up. While I haven't heard the Logitechs, the specs suggest that one should be able to get a flatter bass response by adjusting the control.

The bluetooth is barely an issue. You just have to restart the speaker it takes 5 seconds. Also the sound quality is worlds better than the big jambox and much louder. However, the tdk is bigger.

I have multiple bluetooth speakers throughout my home., one of them is a Bose Mini Soundlink., in comparison the Amazon large speaker exceeded my expectations.,

I have not compared them, but the A5 from Bowers & Wilkins is the best sounding wireless speaker I have listened to.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the previous model. I bought this one based on a Google search of good quality headphones. Had I known that there was a previous model costing $30 less, I would have opted for that one instead. I'm not too thrilled with this one. The sound quality is great, but it is lacking in sturdiness; quite light weight.

I am unfamiliar with this Logitech device. I have the larger one called the Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Speaker. On Amazon it is selling for $84. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-984-000181-Bluetooth-Wireless-Speaker/dp/B005KQ2O26/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1401995106&sr=8-13&keywords=logitech+mini+boom
