Logitech - Z506 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (6-Piece) - Black

Great little setup. The satellites are loud and clear and the bass is powerful! I had to lower the bass down to the middle otherwise my neighbors might complain lol. The rear speakers have a good length of cable so you can move them around. Nothing beats real 5.1 audio (I know most pc gamers use headphones, and I had, however even with a good pair of cans, nothing beats real 5.1 audio, just make sure you have good sound card).

I love the high energy output of audio levels this p[roduct produces for BD movies and Digital broadcast. Brings the films and TV programming I watch to life! Works well with BD/HDTV and even computer systems too!

Playing on my Gaming PC has become MORE fun as the sound of the game is so around me and loud... I love it!!!

The sound isnt bad at all. I purchased this item when i got an all-in-one Dell Computer. I was hoping to get a clear sound by connecting it to the S/PDIF jack of my new Dell. So I asked a sales rep who just happened to be a store manager. He said it was compatible.... not the case. If by compatible he meant one plug from the speakers to the headset jack, then yes. But the speakers come with 3 plugs. I came back to ask for a device that i could connect to get the full effect of the 5.1... and once again, they tried to sell me the wrong usb adapter. When they got it right, it was another $90 which I didnt spend. It is now attached to my living room plasma but i never use it. The picture to the right is what you have to work with. It comes with the orange, black and green connectors. Its made for a computer with an older sound card and not for a modern computer with S/PDIF or HDMI connectors.

This was supposed to have been for my PC to take advantage of my sound card. It was awesome on the PC clear surround sound for gaming. We are also movie addicts and had RCA cable for hookup to our TV. That was also a very simple connection to the back of the TV. After changing a sound setting on the TV for the surround sound it now makes a reasonable priced home theater sound. Action movies you hear everything. Nature you can hear water rushing over rocks the birds song stands out. Amazing that you can hear things that TV speakers can't even begin to separate out for a full movie experience. For settings of the speakers we have it to the 10 o'clock position which seems perfect for our livingroom. Main volume control is still controlled through the TV. Very happy using it for theater sound, I'll just have to get another for my gaming machine.

I bought this product to act a home theater setup for my 4K tv. In that regard the product has performed admirably. The base through this unit is very impressive but you do have to tinker with the setting to avoid distortion at the upper end of the adjustment range. I drilled holes in my living room floor and bought some RCA extensions so that I could put two of the satellite speakers at the back end of the room behind the sofa and love seat. I have the center speaker and the other two satellite speakers set up in the usual locations below and either side of the TV respectively. I have the unit hooked to the TV via the 3.5 mm cable and the volume control on the TV controls the volume on the speaker setup. My TV has the option to enable "surround sound". When I do I get the full sound spectrum through all of the satellite speakers instead of more of the traditional surround sound only coming from the two rear satellite speakers. I paired this speaker system with the Insignia wireless surround system (on sale for $79 at Best Buy at the moment) to create a full 7.1 surround sound system. It sound incredibly immersive and truly amazing. I spent a good hour last night streaming Dolby video through Youtube last night including THX and Atmos. Sounds beautifully. I cannot wait to try the two 4K Blu Ray movies I just bought when I get home later.

This speaker system represents a great value for the price when the intended application is take into consideration. I will caveat this with the fact that I got them on sale for $69.99 and used $50 worth of RewardZone points to bring the price down to $19.99. These are not really intended to be a home theater speaker system, hence the fact that they are categorized under "Computer Speakers" on the Best Buy website. As computer speakers though, they provide a nice, full sound to a workstation area when using it for video editing and production, watching movies or playing games. If you are looking to use these in your living room, you should look into a home theater system rather than computer speakers. These will however, blow you out of your typical office prison cell. I purchased these to provide a reasonable 5.1 sound system to an editing workstation to ensure my sound was up to my expectations before rendering the final product for use in a home theater environment using real audio gear. I haven't been disappointed in them yet for this intended purpose. The connections to the PC sound jacks are at 90 degree angles so they tend to get in the way of each other on most backplanes. I would have preferred straight plugs but have made due with the right angles. If you have a separate sound card that has a single line of jacks rather than the double stack of 3 jacks for most onboard sound cards then you should not have an issue. Overall, I would recommend these for anyone needing full 5.1 sound in a very small area (~6' x 6') at a reasonable price.

I usually don't write reviews for products on here, but I felt compelled to after receiving the Logitech Z506 surround sound system. ***UPDATE*** (at the bottom) PROS: ~SUPER easy to set-up, everything matches up by color. ~Sound quality is superb compared to a lot of systems in this price range, especially for a 5.1 system. ~Base is FANTASTIC! I honestly can't get over how awesome the subwoofer is, and best of all -- NO DISTORTION! ~Since this is a tweeted system, you don't get distortion from the speakers like you would with a lot of other systems in this price range. ~RCA capable (meaning you can directly connect it to your Audio Out on the back of the TV). ~The ported down idea Logitech did for the subwoofer truely does make it fill the room (even at >50watts). ~Great bang for the buck. CONS: ~Wires can be a bit short, even for a small room. ~No controller. So if you're like me and are planning to use this in a small room, I highly recommend this system; you can't go wrong! ****UPDATE**** After having owned this system for a little over 4 months, I have decided that.....this system is still fantastic! If you're hooking this bad-boy up to a TV, simply plug the RCA (red/black) cables into the back of the subwoofer, then the other end (3.5mm headphone) to the headphone jack on your TV. Easy peezy :) If you're hooking it up to a computer, simply plug the PC wires (not sure on the technical term, but they're the green, yellow, and black cords/wires) into the back of the subwoofer, as well as your PC. To get the surround sound effect (5.1) you will need to make sure your sound software is up to date. From there right click on your "speakers" (located under Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Right click on Speakers) and you can adjust your settings to 5.1. I hope this has been helpful! Go buy this system today, it's fan-freakin'-tastic!
