Speakers are crucial audio devices; they increase sound quality and elevate your experience to a different level of joy while listening to music. You are familiar with built-in speakers since they always come with computers and laptops to provide better sound. They cannot produce a fantastic sound like other speakers, but they still do a great job.
In this article, I will compare two excellent built-in speakers from Logitech. I get very excited whenever I write articles where I compare products. This one will be challenging since I will compare two built-in speakers from the same brand. Let’s see what I have to say about them.
Representing the Built-in Speakers
Logitech is one of the most well-known brands that provide excellent products, mostly computer peripherals such as keyboards, headphones, mice, and speakers as well. In this section, I will briefly review both speakers and then move on to the comparison part, which will be very challenging.

Logitech Z313

The Logitech Z313 has a fantastic design and excellent sound quality. The easy setup makes this speaker system among the most popular speakers available. I found this speaker system to be very stylish, and it is not only that, the built-in speaker has a lot more to offer.

Logitech Z323 Vs. Logitech Z313 – Head-to-Head Comparison
Here we are at the central part of this article, where you will see a friendly battle between these two siblings; I say so because they both come from the same brand, and I can say that they have many things in common. I look forward to this fantastic duel because it will be tough since they both have so much to offer and show. So let me start and conclude who will be the winner. Sit back and relax as we go through this article!
How do They Look – Design and Built Quality
As you already know, the first thing that I discuss when I am reviewing a product or in any comparison, I firstly start with the product’s design and built quality. Nothing will be different this time since I think that a speaker’s built quality significantly impacts its overall quality.
The Logitech Z323 looks excellent, and it looks expensive as well. These speakers have a shiny look, and they are a bit taller. They have a compact build, so you can place them quickly on your desk or wherever you want. The built quality of this speaker is just perfect since Logitech always pays a lot of attention to this part. The material used in the overall construction is plastic, but there are some aluminum additions. Worth mentioning is the fact that the speaker system is very durable, so that you can use it for long periods. You will be able to find a volume knob on the speaker, which refers to the fact of how easy it is to operate with this speaker.
As a difference from Z323, the Logitech Z313 speakers are shorter and broader. It is a compact speaker system, so you don’t have to mind where to place it. I find this speaker system to be charming and stylish as well. The built quality is precisely the same as in the Logitech Z323; the materials used are identical, so there is nothing different to point out. Instead of having a volume knob, the Logitech Z313 owns a control pad so that you can operate the speakers effortlessly.
How do They Perform – Sound Quality
Sound quality is the aspect that we all care about the most. The Z323 has excellent sound quality, and what’s even more surprising is the bass quality. This speaker system has decent bass, and the sound that it provides is well-balanced as well. Even in the higher volume levels, the sound you will get will be very clear with no distortions at all, which means that the mids and highs are well expressed.
The Z313 performs well in terms of sound quality, but there are some drawbacks that I must mention. The overall sound quality of the speaker system is excellent, but when it comes to highs, especially if you are playing the music at higher volumes, you will be able to hear distortions. The lows and mids are incredible, though. There is nothing I can complain about regarding the bass and mids.
How do They Connect – Compatibility
The Logitech Z323 is a very compatible speaker system; you can connect the speakers with many different devices, not just your computer or laptop. The Speaker system uses a 3.5mm jack as a connector and an RCA connector.
I can’t claim the same for Logitech Z313 since it only can be connected auxiliary. The speaker system doesn’t contain any RCA or different types of input. Due to this, you will have limitations in terms of connection and compatibility.
Final Words
Here is the end of this challenging battle, and I can hear you asking who the winner is. Even though they both fought fairly and had a lot of things to offer, I would claim that the winner of this match is the Logitech Z323. This speaker performed well in all categories, and there was nothing that stopped it. Please don’t take me wrong; the Logitech Z313 has a lot to offer and will provide excellent results.
I hope that you will like this article and enjoy reading it.
Have a nice day!
