I was looking through a newsletter from Play-Asia in my email and scrolled through and was intrigued by a product photo they listed from Logitech. Play-Asia is known for selling video-games, consoles, import soundtracks, etc. but it’s not common they advertise an electronics item in their newsletter like this, especially one at the price-point of $249.
The Logitech Wireless DJ Music System
The system is composed of a remote, charger base, and a music transmitter you hook up to your PC (and it seems like its for PCs only, no OSX support listed anywhere on the product page) via USB. Once the music transmitter is plugged into your PC, you install a few drivers and some software provided. The last step is to plug the audio cables from the charger base to your home stereo, at this point, you’re good to go.
Logitech has designed for everything to be controlled from the remote. This seems like a great idea if it works, but I would actually like to get my hands on the remote and see how it navigates before saying whether I like it or not. The idea to control your music from the remote without having to fiddle around on the computer or have to turn on another display (eg. your TV) is nice and efficient.
I’ve pretty much explained what the system can do. Now do I think it’s worth $249? No.
I’d buy an Apple TV for $349 instead. I know both products don’t have the same level of playing field, but the Apple TV could do everything Logitech’s Wireless DJ Music System can do AND more. In my eyes as a consumer, the Apple TV’s ability to play videos is well worth the extra $100. Now the remote that ships with the Apple TV isn’t as spiffy, but when it comes to features and functionality, it has the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System beat.
you put a skill testing question by which only those who valiantly succeed in answering can contact you? AWESOME
