Wow, I love these speakers! The lighting options are great too. I switch between screen reactive lighting (setting the zones is easy) to audio reactive. Cleaned up my desktop to enjoy the amazing lighting effect! Love it so far.

I recommend these speakers. They have an awesome sound and used with a gaming computer it puts you right in the middle of a very realistic battle. So cool!!

Actually purchase for me by BB Geek Squad representative, Brian O. He knew what went correctly with my Logitech Lightspeed G305 mouse and Logitech G915 keyboard. It is the PERFECT match with the ASUS PROART Desk Top Computer. I am extremely satisfied wit all the above products and especially the work Brian did on my equipment. Brian is a great asset to Best Buy and the GEEK SQUAD.

Great sound quality and i love the color display. I took away stars because the app won't download to my computer in order to customize the lights. Would've been 5 stars otherwise.

Honestly not impressed by any of the features. Lows are weak. Highs are muted. Color controls exist, but it’s a bit clunky in the g hub gui. And I still haven’t figured out how to color sample my second monitor. I bought them in hopes of upgrading vocal quality for meetings/chat, but I’m getting a slight touch of fish tank quality. I’m to lazy to return but pass if you are considering. Doesn’t help that the sun came with a dent…
Hello, DanielM! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the G560 speakers. Unfortunately, G Hub can only sample from your main display monitor. In order to sample from your second monitor you would have to make your second monitor your main display in your computer's settings. As far as the audio, I would recommend adjusting the EQ in G Hub. Thank you so much for this feedback! I will be passing this along. - Maggie from Logitech G

Unfortunately I can't give this 0 stars. The speakers I received were USED. They had been sent back by someone, likely because the sub barely works. I installed G HUB and changed settings around. I had to set the subwoofer level to 75 to even hear it sitting on the floor next to me. Setting it to 100 makes little difference. Satellite speakers sound decent, however, I didn't pay full price for used speakers that only deliver 1/2 the performance.
Hi Gary, we're sorry to see you're having some audio quality and performance related issues with your G560 Lightsync Gaming Speakers. Logitech has recently put out another update on G Hub that should fix the issue you're experiencing. But, if you're worried it's not working properly because it was a used item, please contact your local Best Buy customer service to see how they can assist with getting your a new replacement. Hope that helps. -N from Logitech

First off, holy crap are these speakers loud. But not only loud, they sound great. The bass is powerful but not overwhelming. I also like that it uses USB. It has the option for 3.5mm or bluetooth but I havent tried them. Sound quality gets a 5/5.
The lighting is awesome. I use the audio visualizer by default, since I listen music whenever I'm not gaming and it's amazing. Syncs to music perfectly. I use the screen sampling while playing certain games and it's insane how well It works and how fast the colors update from the screen. It just works. You have to experience it in person. You can select which games you want to screen sample in specific profiles. Which turn on automatically when you open the game(s) you selected. Certain games have their own profiles for special lighting effects. Like turning red when your health is low. Which is cool. But I dont really play any of the supported games. But I knew that before hand so I didnt care. I mainly got it for the visualizer and screen sampling, and they work great. Lights are bright without being overwhelming. And you can lower them or turn them off if youd like. Screen sampling works fine on my 3440x1440 ultrawide. Would probably be better on a desk against a flat wall as opposed to a corner like mine but they still look awesome. Picture doesnt do justice
My only gripe with these is the software. Personally, I say dont upgrade the firmware to 122.2.22. The sound quality took a nosedive. Leave it at version 122.1.21. Bass became nearly non existant. Sound quality felt flat. Luckily if you do update, u can downgrade by getting the old firmware installer. That being said, I'm happy with my older firmware. Secondly, there are 2 different software sites to use. Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) and G Hub. Personally, I think G Hub was God awful for setting these up. Overly simplified and far less detailed options to configure the lighting. Creating and editing profiles felt like a chore. Everything just felt hidden in sub menus. LGS had more options it seems, although a little less intuitive. Everything was out in the open. A little messy and overwhelming at first glance, but I like being able to see everything without searching through menus and options. A mixture of the 2 would be perfect. I got the software set up to do what I want, just think it can be improved.
Lastly, I wish the lighting turned off when the pc shuts down, but since they use external power from the wall, the lights stay on until you power them down. Clicking a button isnt the end of the world, but having it turn off automatically would be nice. The software has an option to turn them off after X minutes of no use but It didnt seem to turn off. Or I was being impatient.
Overall, I love these speakers. Having been on the fence about buying since the released, im actually happy my other speakers died and I gave in and got these. Worth the money and they sound amazing. Lighting is amazing. Far more than a gimmick. Software and firmware issues take 1 star off.
(The pic shown was not showing the screen sampling FYI)

I like the speaker system. I have owned it for about a month, and right out of the box, hookup to my PS5 was easy. The speakers look smaller in the ads but still occupy very little space on a desk. They are the size of large grapefruits. The subwoofer is a nice feature, but I had to connect to a PC to find the perfect sound. The process was fairly simple. I thought the RGB lights would add to the immersion, but that has not been the case for me. You have more control of the lights when the speakers are connected to the PC. When connected to the PS5 you can only modify how bright or power off. The speaker's system, if fine-tuned, is immersive. The immersion finally led me to complete a few games that I had started but never finished.
The speakers feel fairly solid and are easy on the eyes. The price was $199 when I purchased it, but I have seen them as low as $181. Volume can get loud, with no distortion. You are also able to connect a headset through the speaker with an aux cable. Bluetooth works well with cellphones and TVs, and a cool feature is that you can listen to multiple media through the speaker system simultaneously.
I hope this helps your decision.

The primary reason I bought these is because I have very limited space on my desk and wanted a lower profile speaker that could sit below/behind my monitor. Most computer speakers are in a more vertical orientation and looked bad or were blocked by the bottom of my monitor. This set fits just right and looks good on my desk to boot.
Out of the box, the sound on these sucks. It's muddy, with mid-range being way too up front and the highs way too muted. But unlike other Logitech 2.1 systems, the 10-band equalizer makes easy work of that. Pull the mid out, push the highs and give a small boost to the mid-lows, and it sounds good. The bass is also not overpowering at all, unlike other Logitech 2.1 systems I've tried, and has a nice balance out of the box. I can see how some people would want more 'powerful' bass, but being an upper floor apartment dweller with a wife who is sensitive to bass, the more balanced bass is welcome. I can always crank it up if I really want to, but it runs the risk of getting muddy.
I thought the lights with screen sampling would be gimmicky, and they are. But it's fun and I really love it. The big drawback is that the software is incapable of recognizing what's on the screen when your game is in fullscreen mode. You must play in windowed mode for it to work (this may be updated in the future but at the time of writing this review on 07/14/20 the screen sampling does not work with full screen apps). Otherwise, the lights are bright, but not overpowering, do a good enough job recreating the colors on screen (which will be different from panel to panel), and are responsive enough that the small lag isn't bothersome unless you're playing very fast paced games. While I haven't played any high demanding AAA titles with the screen sampling enabled, I haven't seen any drops in performance using it playing titles like WoW, the Batman Arkham games, Dying Light, and Jedi Fallen Order.
For reference, here is my machine:
Ryzen 5 3600
EVGA RTX 2070 Black
16GB DDR4 3200 RAM
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
All in all, it's a good system if you aren't bothered by the pricetag. You can get far superior sound for a similar price, but the form factor was the right one for me and all in all I'm quite pleased with their overall performance. They sound good enough, look nice, and while the software has opportunities for improvement it more or less works as intended.
