The next step up is the Mod2, which has two ball-shaped parts to each speaker for more bass. These cost $149 more if you want the standard black color, or $209 more if you want one of the fancy metallic shades.<\/p>\n<p>My personal opinion is that the cheaper black option looks dead cheap and no better than your average Logitech pair, so it&#8217;d be worth springing $359 for the copper, bronze or steel models.
