Title: Excellent Speakers. Date: July 4, 2009
Review:Excellent Speakers period. For the price you can't get better. They are loud enough where I listen to music while in the shower in a seperate room and it doesn't need to be cranked whatsoever and they come through loud and clear. Great quality surround works great with movies and the matrix ability creates great surround for games.

Title: Not Date: April 22, 2009
ProsGood value. Very nice looking setup. Sounds good with music and some games.
ConsSpeaker wires are to short. I have had my system for four weeks and the rear speakers have stopped working. Still not sure why. The matrix upmix does not work for all games. It seems to cut out narrated scenes from game play. The parts used to manufacture this system are not high quality.

Review:This would be a great system if they used high quality electronics that stood up to extended play.

Title: Overall a good set of computer speakers Date: April 3, 2009
ProsStylish design. Speakers match the shape of the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 which I also have. Front and rear speakers have rotatable stand for desk or wall mount and can also be decorated to taste using a Logitech downloadable program or ready made, downloadable images from their site. Control module is fairly nice and heavy enough to stay put. The sound is pretty good and the system has plenty of power.
ConsAs has been stated in previous reviews, the speaker wiring is -too short-, especially on the rear speakers. I have my front speakers mounted on the wall to either side of the monitor with the subwoofer centered under my desk and the cables are barely long enough. My rear speakers are mounted to the overhead beams in my upstairs office so I had to buy speaker wire extensions in order for them to reach the subwoofer. Also, the downloadable program from Logitech used to create the paper decorations for the speakers is -very- basic. If you just want a solid color with some text or you want to add a ready made picture, you're probably ok but there are no drawing tools included at all.

Review:I would have given the product 4.5 stars if I had the ability to do so as the speaker wiring, the minimal decoration tool and the fact that the price went up several dollars since I purchased mine were my main problems. Also, the sound is pretty good although the matrix mode for music makes some of my mp3s sound strange. I haven't tried the system with a game yet as I generally do not have time to play them. Still I would say this is a good 5.1 system overall.

Title: So cool sound Date: December 24, 2008
ProsExcellent quality, great price, big woofer.
ConsSpeak wires are too short.

Review:It would be nice to spread the speakers out even further or to hide them at the back of the room. If the wires were longer this would not be a problem. As it is the speakers just sit behind you in the middle of the room kind of awkwardly.

Title: Great Sound! But Not For Movies Date: July 18, 2008
ProsThis thing rocks! Had top notch sound quality, even at high volume! The pod is great for adjusting the volume/sub setting without having to open your volume settings.

Just started using it for gaming, and the sound is PERFECT!
ConsNot for movies! which after order I found this out, but I only use it for movies once and a while. So this is not a huge problem.

Rear speaker cords could be a little longer,

Review:Inspiron 530, q6600, 3.25gb RAM, 9600GT, 2-s198wfp, VisionTek tv tuner.

If you are looking for a great gaming/music system for your computer, then this is PERFECT for the price! I have mine in my 12'X12' bedroom and the sound is great.

If you are looking to buy a 5.1 for movies, then get the Logitech Z-5500 and spend the extra $100. I will eventually.
