What Reddit says about Logitech

“I bought this pair and found they are waaaay too big for my tastes. Seriously, each one is bigger than your head. I also found they don't sound very good at low volume (particularly the bass). I honestly prefer my old $60 Logitech 2.1 speakers for my computer. I ended up using the Edifiers for my TV instead, they're really great there.”

“The best for the price hands down. BeLow 100. Use them at work. There is no off button though. The one thing they are missing. Close in quality to my home set : Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer which used is over 200 usd today.”

“I got the Logitech Z407 speakers on special for $55 and couldn't be happier. Its worth spending a bit more for quality sound.”

“They are cheap They are small (especially they look small in pictures) They have rather unique design They can be powered straight from the computer I am thinking of buying ones myself. Especially when you can get them also as white. I have old Logitech 2.1 set, which has been good enough for me. Now the cable is broken and the other speaker cuts off. That could be fixed probably, but I hate how much desk space that bass speaker takes. I am looking something without it. I was looking for better speakers earlier, but the fact is that those take too much space from my desk and I don't have any space around my desk, because it is in the middle of two doorways. Wall mounting isn't an option either and I cannot put speaker to the floor, because I height adjustable table. I think that many decide to get cheap speakers, which are enough. If you want better sound quality sometimes, it is easier to buy high quality headphones and use those. I am watching streams, playing games, watching movies and listening some musics in low volume, cheap speakers seems the easiest option. The most annoying situation would be that I buy expensive speakers and can't really tell any meaningful difference while consuming the content I usually am consuming. If I would have more space, I would buy something better. Although, I am not convinced that creative pebble is the speaker I want to buy. I am afraid that it is praised mostly because of its popularity. And it probably is popular, because they look small in the picture of the box and many like the unique design. When you have already bought something, you usually praise it, because that's how people do, they are trying to tell themselves that this was a good choice. They are comparing it to the price and their expectations. If something is better than you thought, it gets better reviews than it should get.”

“I’ve got a set of kiplisch got em at Walmart for like 80 bucks they are fantastic. Logitech z series are decent as well. Make sure you get a 2.1 setup with two satellites and a powered sub.”

“Old schooler here, and for the longest time, Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 were the go-to (and 5.1 for those who wanted surround). Then they got bumped for Logitech (don't remember the model, but it had digital-in, 5.1, and was THX certified). I still have the ProMedia 2.1 and going strong. Actually bought 2 sets (one for parents). One of the sets had the amp died, but they replaced it under warranty. One set in storage, the other set is on my main gaming PC still. As other have said, I am using my Logitech headset as my main audio device for better positional audio for gaming. The rare times I switch over to speakers is to listen to music or watch some YT videos when I just want to sit back and not have a headset on me. However, that's rare since I watch YT/movies/videos and listen to things elsewhere now. The speakers are very legacy, but still get occasional use. If you want speakers for your PC, you're probably better served by amplified/powered bookshelf speakers that's usually marketed for turntable use. They usually have line-level inputs along with the phono-level as well. Back int he day, we needed computer-specific speakers because they had to be magnetically shielded so they don't distort CRT monitors. These days, that's no longer a worry (since everyone has LCD or OLED monitors). So read reviews on speakers (not specifically for computers), and you may be happier.”

“Because back in the day a logitech 5.1 was $50. I picked up my Z506 in 2012 for less money than even a chinesium amp alone - and those have gone with me from high school, to college, and beyond over the 10 years I've had it, filling whatever small room I ask it to with big sound . "Good" sound? Depends what you mean. For my groups, first of a few high school kids watching movies, then to 10+ drunk college students crammed into my dorm room in upstate new york - the bass was bumping, at least compared to most of my peers trying to rock a TV with a soundbar or portable bluetooth speaker -- thanks to the 30W RMS "subwoofer", and the 5 sizzly mid-tweeter units which actually kept vocals audible and crispy on the heavily distorted mumblerap of the era. Today, they're set up around my PC - kind of haphazardly, and I only turn them on now and then. But when I ask them to, they fill my room with warm sound. But now that they're... gone? The Z506 got discontinued with no replacement. And you can only get shitty 2.1 setups for twice the cost with less power? Fuck the Z333. Yeah, I think the value is dead. But the take of "overpriced logitech crap" ignores 20+ years where their "media speakers" were some of the best bang-for-the-buck”

“Certain Logitech lines were very good for the price. The Z623/625 line is amazing for $99. It is actually so good that Logitech kept raising the price and it still doesn't stop people from buying them. Downside is that these are nearfield computer speakers so can't expect them to fill a whole room. The sub does work though.”

“I've got 8" Mackies on my PC for gaming and movies, but also some crappy Logitech 2.0 which I switch between using a mixer. Actually the logitechs hold up surprisingly well compared to the Mackie behemoths considering their size, output power and price, but the Mackies are overkill for just watching youtube stuff...”

“Logitech $70 2.1 speakers get the job done imo but $150 monitors will always be the best entry level audio.”

“I'll have to give an argument against Headphones that many haven't thought of. I have a disabled family member that sometimes needs help and although a set of headphones would be nice, I can't block my hearing in case of them having issues. I do have a Logitech 2.1 with power sub woofer that's over 10 years old and yes, they weren't cheap when I got them at about $100 but I've been very happy with them.”

“for people not obsessed with audio they're decent and affordable I am the opposite, I've been through 6 sets of speakers, from 2.0. 2.1, 5.1 and 3 sets of monitor speakers with an interface, I settled on Logitech z625, honestly even at the low end of speakers I would recommend 2.1 to everyone, I had a set of creative 2.1 for like $25 that were good gotta have some bass, just imo”

“I own the Creative Pebble speakers with the subwoofer and honestly, I think I got them for something like £30. I don't know how much they are elsewhere, but I previously did own a 7.1 surround sound desktop Logitech system and that would've been well over £100 at the time. Yes, I know they were Logitech but for me at the time, they were brilliant. The Pebble speakers are great for the price. But when listening to music, I usually wear my ATH-m50x's... That's my take on them anyway...”

“Logitech z323 this is what I bought. Good enough for youtube and watching TV on my PC. I wasn't searching for high end though. I tried that with Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones, but that's budget audiophile stuff, ended up hating them because the clamping force was too much and I hated the cable.”

“If I didn't already have the Z407, I'd consider these just for the Easy Switch and minimalist design alone.”

“I have these for five years now and they are fine. Small footprint, good sound and loud enough on a desk. The soeakers blend in pretty nice on my standing desk, and the two cable are easy to hide. Some days I do consider upgrading for a higher quality sound, but 🤷‍♂️ For this price, I don't think you can go wrong unless you like to blast hi-fi sounds.”

“I don't watch much movies, and definitely not at my desk, but I can confirm that the sound is good enough for the countless work hours, YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud. I also have an old Logitech X5O that is still a beast. Wish they were connectable.”

“Yes, these speakers are quite good, I’m happy with them.”

“I think I bought them 2 years ago and I use them with bluetooth. I don't listen to music with them, but for gaming, youtube and stuff like that they are totally fine.”

“It's great! I really love the sound and multi-device connections. My only struggle is with the wireless controller taking a while to reconnect. That's why I made Z407 plugin for the Logi Marketplace. 😉”

“Logitech Z625 are my faves. Compact enough but pack a great punch. I chose them because I use fiber optic SPDIF cable from my pc. Old school”

“I have the same ones and they definitely are great speakers. I've had them for about 3 years now and they still sound crisp and clean. I also like that you can download the software on your PC to keep them updated, and also sync the lights to your rig.”

“I'm a little late to this thread but I have the Logitech G560 speakers and subwoofer. Have had it for about 3 years and these speakers are/is great IMO. They were a little pricey compared to other speakers at $250(current price)but they have been great for my gaming setup, watching movies and listening to music. LED lights are a little bonus.”

“I use the Logitech z906. Picked them up resonably cheap when Dick Smith (aussie tech store) had massive sales back 12 or so years ago before closing down. Wont replace them till they die. Had the X-530 before that..out of curiosity, i got them out of storage not long ago. They still hold up lol.”

“Been Using Logitech Z623 for over a decade now, they're more than good enough for gaming. They're also well within your budget.”

“I have the Logitech Z263. Great 2:1 Speakers.”

“The old Logitech Z-2300 are still awesome and can be found for less than $160”

“Loved my Z506. Bought in 2011 and they're still kickin”

“I’ve had a set of these for these for over 15 years. The volume controller unit stopped working, probably 7 years ago. Contacted Logitech support and they sent me a brand new one for free. The speakers are in the lounge now for the TV, far from audiophile quality but punchy and loud enough.”

“I had the Logitech z5500 setup for a number of years, lost it in a house fire, it sounded amazing for a PC speaker setup.”

“I run Logitech 313 which comes with a sub and tbh it’s perfect for a desktop setup. Plenty of bass and it’s clear (enough). When I’m gaming I use open back dt1990s but I can watch movies and casually game on the speakers all day.”

“You should consider alternatives to the usual "computer speakers". A good set of small diameter monitor speakers will perform much better than a set of logitech/creatives, and imo, look pretty dank on the desk/wall mounted. I was recently in your boat, and I decided on a pair of M-Audio AV32. https://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-10-Watt-Compact-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B00X741TKG . They are the smaller brother of the acclaimed AV42, and coupled with an decent DAC, can outperform (in any sense) a pair of overly expensive "computer speakers". Due to the acoustics around my PC, the bass is plentiful (even overkill sometimes, and I have to use the mobo's sound software to dial it down using the EQ). However if you feel its lacking, M-Audio do a subwoofer for the same system.”

“That Lepai amp is a little work horse. I too use it paired with whatever used bookshelf speakers, and it unquestionably sounds better than the $50 Logitech 2.1 speakers I was using before. Just be prepared to use up a little more footprint than computer specific speakers.”

“Z623 are the best you can get for 100$ in my opinion. I went with them and god damn they sound good, and definitely have a good quality build.”

“I have those Logitech Z623 speakers and they are awesome.”

“Second the Z506. Have the same setup, has great sound, excellent value proposition.”

“I have the Z333. It's $60, and it's amazing. Two side speakers, a subwoofer, and the control pod is actually a really, really nice feature that I use constantly. Sound quality is fantastic, you can control volume with the dial, and even plug in headphones if you want. You want a movie night and to fill up a room with the sound? This can do it.”

“I just got the Z200s, that little headphone jack on the speaker is the best thing ever.”

“Any of the Logitech speakers less than $100”

“I’ve got the Logitech Z533 speakers (similar $100 price point) and they’re awesome so I’d assume they’re of similar quality to the ones you mentioned”

“the z263 are fire af”

“I second this, love the sound of my Z623.”

“Logitech Z506 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Speaker System http://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-Z506-5-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Speaker-System/15105369 I've been using these for awhile and actually really like them. 5.1 sounds good when I'm watching Netflix and playing BF1.”

“Logitech z623 They are on sale right now on Amazon for 103. A tad bit over your budget, but I'd would say definitely worth it. I've had them for about a year and they are amazing.”

“I've had the Logitech Z623 speakers for a month now, and I think they're phenomenal for 2.1 purposes. Ditched my headset and only ever use the speakers now.”

“A lot of people are not impressed by any (correct me if I'm wrong) PC speakers w/2.5in drivers. This includes all the big Logitech Z2300, Z5500, etc. and anything else w/2.5" full range speakers. Logitech promotes the "bullet" plugs and Promedia is a 2-way with a tweeter. But even the Pro is a 2.5" driver. The problem is a 2.5 + subwoofer is missing a woofer, if even just a 4" one. People then rave , "these speakers are so much better" - and the reason is they have substantially bigger drivers making them "bookshelf" (although mini) speakers. They are not PC speakers. I'd like to see some attempt at the small form factor of a typical "2.5in box" that gets more into that gap. 80 Hz would be a start.”

“I had a Z2300, fired it up last week. It sound like absolute garbage. Tiny little drivers with a massive sub, and no midrange at all. I thought it sounded good when I got it in 2006 or whatever, but I hadn't heard anything else. I posted it for free and someone took it off my hands that day. I could have gotten $80, but I just wanted that heavy POS sub out. You can do much better on the used market for $200.”

“Yeah they suck I don't get why PC guys waste their money on Creative and Logitech crap when they could get a decent passive set up (or some active speakers from a decent hi brand at least)”

“I got the Klipsch pro media 2.1 they sound great. Came from a Logitech z313.”

“Lol, I bought an insignia sound bar for $20 and it was better than the budget Logitech speakers it replaced. It's at least as good as the audio coming out of my TV's.”

“My budget PC set-up consists of: PreSonus Eris 4.5", PreSonus Eris 8" sub, Behringer U-Phoria UMC ~£370 with cables. Before this I had a Logitech z506 setup. This allowed me to listen to games and music at a quality that didn't make me want to put hot forks in my ears. My current setup is what I consider the budget end of a quality audio setup for a pc. You could do it without the sub and it would cost ~£220.”

“I’ve had them for over a year and they disconnect all the time during work calls. I hate these so much”

“I'm quite curious about this. If I'm mainly just using it for general music listening on Spotify or Youtube, Netflix as well as occasional gaming, should I still bother with Kali or Adam Audio? I understand that they're flat neutral speakers, but I know myself to be more of a casual listener but I still want something that has distinct voice, instrument and bass separation. I think my logitech Z313's are really not up to par”

“Great to start your audio journey with. They have cheap offerings that far surpass other computer speaker manufacturers like Creative or logitech for similar prices. But not really hi fi.”

“i will tell you which speakers i hate. my Logitech Z-series speakers; they have a "feature" that they automatically turn off when they don't detect sound being played. This "feature" works like shit, they turn off constantly and i need to play metal to wake them up.”

“Depends on your budget and expectations. At under $100, I think they’re definitely good enough for general PC use and gaming (better than anything Logitech or Creative have at that price point). I used them for a couple of years before upgrading to a pair of JBL 530s and a Loxjie A30 amp (massive upgrade, btw, but also a little over 3x the price altogether) They’re not going to compare with a decent amp and passive speaker setup, but they are excellent value. Edifier also had some good entries at the $100 price point, so would be worth taking a look at the R1280T or R1280DB when it goes on sale.”

“I haven't heard anyone say nice things about Bose in any of the speaker setup reviews I've watched so far. I had a bad experience personally with Logitech as well, and they were an old 5.1 set so cables were everywhere. :(”

“That setup would be better than any 5.1/2.1 computer specific speakers. I've had a horrible experience with a few Logitech and other brands. They all just suck for music and are somewhat passable for movie/tv/games. Only computer speakers that didn't suck were Bose and they would cost a lot more than your setup and deliver a similar experience. Right now I think your setup is the most economical way to get a good sound. 2.1 just doesn't do mids at all.”

“These are ok for teams calls, podcasts, or YouTube videos with dialogue heavy content. But music or movies where sound needs to have a little more umph and richness. Definitely spend your dollars elsewhere. Other than that. They are cheap, look great, and provide the bare minimum”

“Just sharing my experience, I bought Razer Nommo Pro 3 months ago and overall, very happy with the performance so far. First off, yeah, they’re big. The speakers and the subwoofer are beasts, so if your desk is tiny or you’re short on floor space, maybe measure first. But that size? Totally worth it for the sound you get. Hook-up is super easy, Bluetooth connects instantly whether I’m on my PC or MacBook, and the cables are long enough to play around with placement. The sound quality is insane, it doesn’t just blast at you, it fills the room, so games, movies, and even music feel way more immersive. The bass is especially crazy. Like, don’t be surprised if your neighbors complain when you crank it (I’m not even mad, it just means it’s doing its job). I've tried Logitech G560 (meh sound, good lights) and even some old Bose, these honestly blow them both away. Adjusting bass is easy and the app’s actually useful, not one of those clunky things you never open. Sure, the RGB is dim and the set is pricey, but honestly, once you hear these you’ll get it.”
