Rating: - Great system.
Great system. Good volume, sound quality, material quality, cable quality. Responsive, speakers are crisp and rich. Sub is crisp and punchy but smooth.
Pros: Good sound quality. 5.1 surround. Good material quality. Separate bass control. Headphone jack. Simple, color-coded setup. Very responsive. Really brings games to life.
Cons: Matrix function (generates "surround sound" from Stereo input) generates fluctuating signal for rear speakers that is muddy and cuts out. Tends to reduce overall sound quality for other speakers.
Overall: Good buy. For best results, you'll need a 5.1 surround sound card or 3 to 1 stereo splitter (poor man's version of surround sound). Leave the Matrix function alone.
Plug in, turn up, enjoy.
Rating: - Very good sound for very little money
I just purchased this and wow it's louder than I had expected. It's not only loud but it has pretty good bass coming from the sub. I did not expect much bass from a tiny 5" low frequency driver but I guess the wood ported sub enclosure really helps the tiny bass driver put out strong bass. The satellites aren't that bad either. I thought they would be really tinny because of the small drivers but they do put out good midrange. High frequencies are clear too.
One of the cool features of this system is that the center channel can be mounted right ontop of your LCD monitor. It basically clips over the top edge. It has rubber cushions to protect your LCD and absorb vibrations. Keep in mind that the center channel can tilt but the other 4 sats are fixed and cannot be tilted. The sats could be mounted on the wall since the mounting plate rotates and it has a hole for a screw.
This system works only with 5.1 analog computer setups. It does not support digital optical or coaxial inputs. The system supports matrix mode which works with 2ch sources and feeds all speakers with sound. The wired remote has a volume and sub level adjustment knob and also a headphone jack and Matrix mode button. The headphone jack works even without powering on the speaker system.
This is a really great buy, so much speaker for so little money.
Rating: - Great system, but the cords could be a little longer
I'm a college student and overall, I'd say this system is pretty great. The only problem is that the cords which extend to the rear speakers are a little short, so I either have to buy extensions to have cables going all over my floors. Overall, the sound quality is very good, and for the price I'd say it's a pretty good deal.
Rating: - more for less
I bought this pc speaker system at a very low price aspecting it to be good but this was way better then i aspected! This is surtenly a bang for the buck! For a small system like this it sounds loud, what i like the most! If your limited on space in your bedroom of office, the logitech system will definetly fit your need!
