Z906 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System - THX, Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Certified - Black

I had the Logitech Z680 system since around 2005 before getting the Z906. The Z680, for the time, was a phenomenal set of speakers for a computer system. 400+ watts made my house shake. Now, 23 years later, the Z680's finally died on me...not the speakers, the electronics that are contained on the back of the bass speaker. I was deeply saddened and simultaneously almost in a panic as my music is extremely important to me and there was no way I was going to be able to use the el cheap-o 2 speaker setup I kept for just whatever. I also live on a fixed income, so I needed to be able to afford something as good or better for a similar price I paid for the Z680 setup. I naturally went back to looking at Logitech. There was the Z5500, but way, way too costly. Then found the Z906. The price, for me, was still a little high, but not so much so that I couldn't somehow work it out, so I purchased it after reading all the info I could all over the internet about them. When they got to the house, the first thing I notcied was a big 2"x3" hole where it looks like someone was carrying the box and ran into the corner of a desk or something. Unfortunately the puncture went all the way through to the inside box and into the grill of one of the satellite speakers and dented it pretty good, enough so that I had to take the faceplate off the speaker and gently tap the grill away from the speaker itself so it could work properly as the grill was actually pressing down some on the speaker itself. Once everything was back together, I set the system up on my computer. I'm at the computer at least 10 hours a day, and my music is important to me, so I have a very nice sound card for my system. I'm not a gamer though, so the speakers weren't important in that way for me at all. I The system is really easy to set-up, it's just a little time consuming, especially if you want to do it right the first time. I didn't need the supplied wire for the satellites as I simply had left the wires for my old speaker system setup where they were and they were perfect for the Z906 satellites. Plugging everything in to the bass was also nice and easy, everything is labeled nicely, so I had no trouble moving all the stuff that was plugged in to the Z680 bass over to the Z906 bass. The control panel is a bit nicer than what came with the Z680, and much easier to adjust to whatever one needs, though you still have to have two hands to do so - one to hold it down and the other to press the buttons. My advice here - *USE THE REMOTE CONTROL*. This makes things so much easier. It's actually the one of two things I like best about the Z906 over the Z680 I had, the other being the bass weighs about half as much. The one con I had about the Z906 system is that Logitech went el cheap-o and didn't supply speaker stands. I found that to be pretty lame on their part. Once it was all set-up, I turn on some music (I'm extremely eclectic and can listen to anything from head-banging skin-head stuff, to Mozart and Wagner...I *won't* listen to (c)rap or this bubblegum pop BS nowadays). Again Logitech didn't disappoint. These speakers *WILL* make the house shake. They have plenty of highs and the bass does a great job of thumping if the music calls for it. Every kind of music needs to have the sound set differently for it. For example, I wouldn't leave the bass set as high for Beethoven as I do for Black Flag. So I don't understand the reviews saying bad things about either too much or too little bass or highs (tweets). The levels of this system can be set to do whatever one wants for whatever type of music one is listening to. If you want to listen to Chopin, then turn the bass down to what you want for that. If you want to listen to some Disturbed, then turn the bass up for that. I also am able to adjust things even more on my Linux system computer, and I'm sure people using that garbage called Microsoft Windows are able to do so too, but I believe they simply don't know they can or maybe even simply lazy and don't *want* to have to make adjustments for the music they're listening to at the moment. Whatever. I just know that these speakers, with the correct adjustments made for each type of music I might be listening to, can, for instance, make me feel like I'm in some fine music hall, center seating, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor Op. 125 'Ode an die Freude' is playing live because I'm back in time and it sounds that good...at least to me, heh. Overall, these are well worth the price if you want something halfway decent and can crank up and really impress your neighbor(s)(hood) or make them come looking for you with torches, pitchforks and rope! Learn to adjust the levels for what you might be playing, then sit back and enjoy, because these speakers *for your computer* will *NOT* disappoint. Put in a nice sound card to make sure you get the best from them, I have an Audigy RX which works perfectly for me, giving me all the power the Z906's will want and the clarity and surround sound and everything else a non-pro audiophile will want. These Z906's are fantastic at movies too.

I have mixed feelings on this sound system because it deserves two different kinds of rating. First of all I want to say this: in all fairness, some people rate this lower than they should because they are using it for a home theater system. That's nonsense. The fact is, this is a sound system for a computer or videogame set up. As such, it is one of, if not THE best on the market. That has caused some people to use it for their home theater, which is understandable and doable for a cheap way out, but you should not expect the ultra highs and lows of a real home theater sound system. I have an expensive home theater system in my living room, but I don't even think about comparing this to that quality of sound. It's not fair, this entire system – amplifier and speakers – is only 350 bucks; come on now! Twice that wouldn't buy one of the subwoofers for my system, or the amplifier by itself. For the money you can't beat this sound system. When it comes to the sound this speaker system produces, it is absolutely phenomenal. I mean, I'm hearing background noises, echoes, reverberation in castles and dungeons, and deeper base in explosions than I ever heard before in games, and I thought I had a decent sound system before. Modded Skyrim sounds amazing, like you are right there, and other games have an appreciable realistic sound. The high-end over 15,000 Hz is a bit weak, so Logitech should make some improvements in the tweeters in the next rendition. Otherwise, the speakers are of a very good design and weight, and I like that all five satellites are the same. The AC 3 sound circuitry has good separation, and I highly recommend people use the optical cable. If you don't have one, get one, it's worth it. BTW, Logitech should include one, but they don't. I thought that was a bit cheap on their part. The speaker wire gauge is OK, but a bit thin, so you might want to replace that. It was smart of them to include longer cables for the rear. I'm only using their cables for the front three, but my rear speakers are farther away so I use a thicker gauge. Logitech did well by letting it be a standard connector on both ends, rather than RCA plugs, so you can easily swap it out. What about system design? Part of it is good, like the separate unit for adjusting sound for each speaker and the nice, long attachment cable so you can locate it anywhere. Part of it is downright stupid. Logitech, you screwed up by not putting an exterior heatsink on the amplifier. You had one on the previous version of this sound system and should've kept it. The amplifier is inside the sub woofer, and it gets hot, real hot, even when you're NOT playing music or games. There's no reason for that, it should back down. Heat is the worst enemy of electronic circuits, and that means the heat inside the subwoofer box builds up because there's no ventilation. None can be added without screwing up the sound qualities of the sub. The ducted port does not count because heat cannot escape from it. Whoever suggested this in the design committee should be moved to the mailroom. I use my computer for work and play, thus I have to shut the sound system off during the day because the stupid thing gets so hot. For this price, I know Logitech is not using the high-quality Japanese capacitors that can take more heat, which means the amp will most likely have a short life span if used a lot. Conclusion: if you want a great sound system for computer or videogame set up, you cannot do any better. You can also turn the sub woofer on its face and cook eggs on the back plate. Nevertheless, my games sound fantastic, and that's what I bought this for. For sound I give this system five stars. For design I give it three stars It only deserves four stars at best. I'm giving it five stars to offset the unfair people who are down-rating it it as a home theater system.

If you're thinking about it, just put it in your cart and hit check out. I am 1000% positive you cannot find sound like this for this price range anywhere else. I researched speakers for months, wanting to upgrade from a 2.1 Logi computer system. And let me tell you, I could not be more pleased with landing on these. If you're a beginner/intermediate DJ, I think these are perfect to have at home. I do say at home for a reason, one of the only downsides is ease of transportation. You could probably get away with it if you detached the tops and carry everything separately. The woofer is at least 20 pounds (give or take), so transporting that is another story. Regarding sound, I've walked outside while practicing my sets and you can definitely hear it from the down the street at only 75%. The bass is so warm, and the highs hit so well I find myself lowering the eq's to try to keep up. My cat loves them, rolls around on the ground right in front of the woofer (I think he likes to feel the rattle of the bass), and rattle they do. Walls, cabinets, furniture, you name it. But they are oh so perfect for practicing sets, movies, casual listening, and house parties (sufficient for probably up to 50 people at a high volume). I have seen other reviews say that the woofer can get hot, but I nipped that by simply placing a small fan facing at the board on the back. Breaking them in did take longer than expected, but the difference is quite noticeable. All in all, this is a great product that is well worth your money if you like great sound for a great price!

These speakers are just the perfect if your looking for a proper 5.1 for your gaming needs. I upgraded from a logitech Z506 which was also a brilliant setup. The main difference between these are are that Z906 is extremely loud, powerful and the fact that you can actually wall mount these speakers also a major advantage is that these speakers use normal speaker wires which can be extended according to your room size were as the Z506 comes with fixed wires that cannot be extended easily and moreover they aren't powerful enough if you mount them on the walls. Speaking about the subwoofer they are really punchy that your tables and wardrobes start shaking. When it comes to 5.1 a proper placement is a must to really experience what these speakers are capable of. In games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, GTA 5, FORZA HORIZON 4, DIRT RALLY 2 the sound is extremely good that you literally hear every bit of whats happening in the back ground. These speakers have lot of options to set levels of rear speakers, center speaker and the subwoofer also you can switch between 3D sound which fills all the 5 speakers, 4.1 or 2.1 setup according to your taste. The remote is really sensitive literally works from anywhere and also is handy. These speakers are not just good for games they are also excellent for movies and music. Overall very good value for money and the quality build is TOP NOTCH. These are perfect for computers as you don't really need HDMI inputs or even a bluetooth, if your looking for a proper home theater for the TV then you should probably consider other brands. The packing is good kept the speakers intact without any damage. The seller should improve the outer packing as the speaker comes just with the outer LOGITECH MASTER CARTON I wish there was another big master carton inside which the logitech box was kept.

音質がかなり良くなりました 以前はz623を使用していたのですが、全く別物です。5.1chになり臨場感から違います。 レビューを参考にさせて頂き、スピーカーケーブルと変圧器を購入し使用しております。 欲を言えばもう少し設定を細かくイジる事が出来ていれば尚良かったです。 ただ、この値段でこの音質なら買って損なしなので、オススメです

Excelente audio, es un sistema muy bueno para películas y jugar video juegos a un precio muy bueno.
