There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After 6 years, still works great.
Keep in mind, this is a computer 5.1 system. To easily get the 5.1 from these speakers, you need a desktop with the 3 headphone jacks on the motherboard.
Otherwise you'll need the headphone to RCA adaptors for most stereo receivers.
These speakers sound amazing. When I bought them they were $100. For those people complaining about the sound- this is a $100 amplified system... The quality of sound far exceeds the amount paid.
Also, I have a dedicated audio card, you get out of these speakers what you put in.
They are clear and crisp for games, movies and music. Bass response is clean, tight and loud. Your neighbors will hear your music in an apartment and will me more than enough for a party.
Keep in mind they sound amazing for $100 speakers, I'm rating them i within their price category.
The pros are:
- The sound is crisp and clean which I thought tinny at first until I adjusted my sound card graphics equalizer. I'll let the sound pros on the other reviews discuss the details. Overall, I like the sound quality which is just right for a PC system. As other reviews have noted, the bass is also good. I'm still playing with the frequency crossover on my sound card software so I don't have it dialed in quite yet.
- The rotating speaker stands are genus; you can rotate to stand on the desk or rotate to hang on the wall. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the center speaker fit snugly on the monitor and isn't in danger of falling off.
- The speakers appear to be well constructed and don't buzz when you dial up the volume.
- I really like the wired remote which allows you to adjust the volume, turn on/off, adjust the bass and to use a matrix button for PC's that lack a 5.1 surround sound card. My previous system had the power switch on the subwolfer and was hard to get too; most of the time, I left the power on.
- I like the fact that Logitech uses RCA cords rather than speaker wire for each speaker.
The cons are:
- As other reviews have noted, the cords are too short. I planned ahead for the satellite speakers and purchased a 25' extension cable to hang the rear right/left speakers on the opposite wall but the front right/left speaker cords should be 8' not 6'. The center wire was 8' and just right.
- There isn't a speaker grill on the bottom of the subwolfer. Yes, the subwolfer sits on the floor and is downward firing. However, if you should pick the subwolfer up to move it for some reason, there is the tendancy to reach too far under it and poke the speaker with a finger.
Overall Impressions:
- I think many of the negative reviews for this system are because they don't have a 5.1 sound card. I wouldn't have bought a surround sound system without one. I moved my 2.1 system to my wife's PC which doesn't have a sound card and it isn't the same.
- I don't think I would use this system for a TV (no special reason just a preference). While this system works great for a PC, I prefer a larger system for my TV. I currently have an older, more powerful Sony shelf surround sound system that works great with my directv receiver, Wei, and DVD player.
- Once I hang the rear speakers on the opposite wall, I hope to be able to enjoy a true surround sound experience (still waiting for my extension cables). Even without the speaker separation, the system still sounds great.
The sound quality is pretty good. It's not audiophile-level quality, but is better than I expected in this price range. I also like the control pod, which is a must in a modern speaker set. The pod also has a headphone jack, but I end up using the one on the computer itself. If I'm playing a game and have it configured for 5.1, the center channel doesn't get mixed into the stereo that the headphones use. If I plug into the computer directly, it mixes the center channel into both L and R.
Cables are plenty long enough for my use, which is a desktop speaker system. I would not use this for a TV unless it were in a small space. Besides, you're better off with a real audio receiver and speakers in that case.
It does NOT have a digital audio input. It does, however, include three stereo cables (front L/R, read L/R, and center/sub). So you would be hard-pressed to find something other than a computer to plug this in to.
Even with the minor nits to pick I give this five stars, simply because I bought it for a specific purpose and it excels at that purpose.
2019 Update: Seven years later and it still sounds great. Again, it is not the absolute best sound but it is certainly not a lower-tier sound system. However, I have one gripe that came up a few years ago.
The RCA connection to the front left speaker craps out sometimes. I will get diminished or no sound through that speaker, and it happens randomly. I have to reseat the RCA connector and test in the Windows sound control panel until it provides normal sound, then it works fine for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
This is likely a problem in the cable itself. Maybe the wires inside are damaged? This started happening all of a sudden and I have never kinked the wires or otherwise mistreated them. Manufacturing defect? I don't know, but I will likely end up cutting off the existing connector and splicing on a new one. Thankfully I have a soldering iron and know how to do minor electronics repair - I have replaced enough cheap-o capacitors in various devices to be confident doing this. But if someone without those skills encountered the same problem, this would be quite frustrating.
For this reason, I am docking one star from my initial review.
