Rating: - Logitech Z5 Speakers
Well, I got these yesterday and had them up and running in less than 5 minutes with Microsoft Vista Premium. So far I have got exactly what I was expecting:
1. Good solid sound with a nice range. The deep bass is non existent, but I knew that was going to the case going in to it. Even with that the bass response is good enough to meet my tastes. I would say the tone is rich, but not booming.
2. Easy trouble free setup.
3. They look really good sitting on my desktop ... Read More
Rating: - Retarded, limited design
First of all I am a fan of Logitech products because they are usually the latest technology and they are also built well.
These speakers are retarded. The biggest problem with them is that nobody (including Logitech) will say in their description what they do. The speakers come with a remote control which doesn't work just like that. I went and bought batteries thinking that they don't work because the battery is dead. Guess what, the remote works only in the supported applications which ... Read More
Rating: - Great PC Speakers; Beat Competition
I'm not too keen on the "oh, I just received this today and decided to comment" reviews, but I couldn't resist with this product.
My computer is a MacBook Pro running 10.5.5 (about to be 10.5.6), but this product's box reassured me it would work (instead of being Windows-centric). It did. Right after connecting it, I was impressed with the imaging these speakers provided and the frequency response. I had heard them before after hooking them up to my iPod in a popular electronics franchise, ... Read More
Rating: - Great little speakers!
I have an Asus laptop that came with lots of bells and whistles, except for the tinny speakers. You would think for $2000 the laptop speakers would be great. They are now with the addition of these Logitech Z-5 speakers. :-) Though these are external, they are small (10" H by 3 1/2" square)and very sleek looking. I also have a desktop computer with 5.1 surround sound speakers and these speakers are as clear as those.
I recommend installing the software that comes with the speakers so you ... Read More
Rating: - Happy with the results for what I was expecting...
The Logitech Z-5 USB speakers are not going to replace my Z Cinema setup any time soon, but they're very good for what I wanted them for. The quick setup with USB is perfect for laptop use, when you want something better than the laptop speaker sound. Sound quality is adequate for desktop speakers, especially with the omni-directional sound in the mid-range. I miss the bass response of the Z Cinema subwoofer, but on the other hand, I can move the Z-5 speakers around without breaking a sweat. :)
