No midrange - muddy, clipped bass
I bought these speakers because I am currently living in an apartment and couldn’t rationalize spending a fortune on speakers that I would never be able to use at any kind of high volume. I am disappointed in these. They are not the worst speakers ever, but I have serious issues with the lack of midrange (even with extensive tweaking). The speakers are light (never a good sign) and feel cheap. The bass is clipped and muddy. I would not buy these again.
good
Reasonable price, sturdy, good cords, easy setup. Testing on the computer gave a lot of static noise but none noted during usual use. Very convenient controls and off switch on extension cord.
awesome speakers!
Bought the G51 5.1 system a few months back on amazon and love it.Awesome sound range,fun to tweek along with an x-fi soundcard,a little advice,if you hook this up to a 360 directly you might have issues with the rear speakers being disorted and cutting out.After emailing logitech i was told this setup is meant for a 5.1 soundcard i ordered the x-fi platinum and rca adapter and all is cool now.The Z-5500 5.1 THX is next on my list!
Requires a bit of tweaking
As others have pointed out the cables on the speakers could be longer, I had to extend two of them to get everything connected in my small office. Overall the speakers sound good, although there is definitely room for improvement especially in the mid-range. It would have been nice to see a larger element in the the satellites. The control module is fantastic, well weighted so it stays where it’s put and provides convenient control over the system. Having the headphone and mic jacks up top is very convenient.
