Title: Money well spent Date: April 3, 2008
Prosthe control center has to be the coolest thing ever.my old computer speakers just had this little volume knob that i had to glue down to my desk. this just stands neatly on my desk and you could control everything from there, and it brings this high tech look to it.
ConsHaven't found one yet

Review:great sound. the subwoofer really knocks hard, overall I am very satisfied with these speakers. I spent about $200 from dell with free shipping you can't beat that. Circuit city offers these speakers for about $350 and logitech themselves sells these for $400 look it up. best money I ever spent. If you live in N.J these took only 2 days to get to my house, even though the website said it would take longer so don't waste your money on fast shipping.

Title: Great Speakers Date: March 9, 2009
ProsPlain and simple, excellent sound, good signal to noise ratio, ample amplification and bass for most computer rooms. I am a firm believer that your audio quality should be at least as good as your video if you want a good multimedia experience of any kind. Whether you are a gamer or just want to watch movies on your PC, do yourself a favor and don't skimp on the sound.
ConsA little pricey when they are not on sale. Although, I have to give props to Dell for having competitive pricing on these speakers.

Review:Get a quality sound card and use TOSLINK (optical) to get excellent sound out of this speaker package... not that the other inputs wouldn't give nearly identical performance assuming the cable is relatively short--just don't cripple these speakers with low quality input.

Title: Best value for the Price Date: February 12, 2009
ProsAs a previous owner of the Logitech Z-560, I've had some experience with the quality that Logitech is known for producing. The sub finally went out after 5 years, along with one of the speakers, so I decided to go with the next logical choice: the Z-5500. I must say, the 5.1 surround is truly dynamic and accurate. But what steals the cake is all the options you have to mess around with: sound effects, input options, level settings, and oodles of other settings. And it's all digital. And believe it or not, having a remote is actually quite convenient; it's really the icing on the cake.
ConsThat being said, the only problem I really have with the setup is the relatively weak sub. The Z-560, rated at 400-watts, had a 240-watt sub, while the 550-watt Z-5500 has a sub with ~190 watts. While I'm sure all that extra wattage is being put to good use in the surround speakers, I've always been a fan of the big booms, and it's probably the only thing I'd change about it.

Review:Despite this small drawback, the other options are pretty much nonexistent: this is still the best value available, especially if you can get it for less than 250.

Title: Surround yourself with sound Date: November 13, 2008
ProsI replaced a perfectly good Boston Acoustic quad speaker system, which I bought with my first computer around 2000. I wanted the surround sound, and I was looking for better sound from my cd collection. I hooked these speakers up without any problems, and hooked into the SigmaTel sound "card" built into my system. I also downloaded iTunes to load my cds into my computer. I have to say that I am more than impressed. I am now able to use the graphic equalizer in iTunes to shape the sound from my computer. AWESOME!!!
ConsI have other things to do besides sit at my computer listening to incredible music. I don't want to turn it off!

Review:Make sure you have an appropriate sound card. My old Sound Blaster card, which is no longer supported, would not provide surround sound. I am sure any of the new cards will work fine. An equalizer is a must. Download iTunes and simplify your life. Make sure you don't overdrive the preamp by having all your volume controls turned all the way up. Play around with the volume controls and equalizer. You will be able to get it sounding better than your expensive stereo system.

Title: Good but requires 5.1 dolby to really enjoy it Date: October 29, 2008
ProsGood price.
ConsWithout dolby 5.1 it's hard to tell the difference between old sound and new one. My old set of speakers had sub-woofer and their sound was comparable with this one when dolby is not used. To really enjoy its potential you'll need to set it on dolby 5.1.

Title: Another Great Logitech product Date: October 2, 2008
Proswow, this thing is nuts. i havent owned a 5,1 system before but this thing hits hard the sound is truely amazing. the subwoofer hits harder than anything ive owned. sounds really nice under my desk i had to move it tho because it kept vibrating things off my desk lol! the speakers are nice too you dont need to have all 5 hooked up to have it work properly even tho id suggest having them 5.1. there are different settings on the control panel including a "night" mode is nice for listening if ur in an apartment or sumthing.
Consthe wires, always a pain. :( only other issue is the sub gets VERY warm. be careful were u put this puppy. i dont think it gets hot enough to melt wires but it gets pretty warm.

Review:i think if this system had wireless rear speakers atleast. it would be the best thing ever. i might actually get a second one for my bedroom lol!

Title: Best Purchase Ever Date: September 16, 2008
ProsThis is the best sound system i have ever had, and i don't think i would buy 4 of them if i did not like them. I had one for about 3 years and bout that from Logitech for about $400, then i bout 3 more from Dell because you can't beat the price for something like this.
Best Purchase Ever... may buy some more for my brothers.
ConsA onboard sound card does not do as good with this system... you need to get a new sound card to get all of the features out of this product, and better sound

Title: very nice Date: September 8, 2008
ProsThis is just an all around great product. The bass is sharp, clear, and sounds amazing on all levels. The speakers don't get distorted when really turned up.

Review:For the price of this product, it's a steal to get such a great product for a fairly decent price. Before the price drop on this unit, I had bought a set of Harmon Kardon sound sticks. They're great speakers, but I found over time they began to sound distorted, as I tend to enjoy loud music and heavy bass. The subwoofer began to sound as if it were being overworked and the bass just didn't sound good. So when I found out the price of this unit had dropped, I immediately jumped on it and bought a set. They're amazing and I recommend them to anyone who loves music, heavy bass, or just want a great sounding speakers for a decent price. I can't say enough about these speakers, and the price is quite nice for such an amazing product. You may not want to spend 200 bucks for speakers in the beginning, but get em home and listen to the difference between these and your current speakers, and you'll be throughly impressed.

Title: 95% Satisfied Date: August 20, 2008
ProsVery hard to beat for the price. Almost all aspects of this system were well thought out. Little is left to be desired.
ConsMy only concrete gripe for Logitech's flagship speaker system is that mounting the satellites on stands is proving to be a headache. Plus, any modifications void the warranty. The speakers do not have embedded mounting threads like standard speakers and the feet are a funky shape. It's a shame this one detail was missed. Logitech's product tour on their web site even shows the speakers on stands, albeit modified. A bit misleading.

Nitpick: control center cable could be longer.
