" ... It makes more rich sound that I expected. ... "
" ... I was AMAZED at the quality of the sound and the fullness of the base. ... As I write this, there are castanets playing and I looked around the room to make sure the sound was actually coming from the Logitech System. ... "
" ... The sound quality is amazing to be out simply. ... Movies sound great, music sounds even better, and if I’m gaming without headphones it’s even more awesome. ... "
" ... The sound is awesome. ... "
" ... Best computer speaker I personally ever owned. ... "
" ... I first tried music, which sounded awesome, but I wanted to try something with more depth, so I fired up Fallout 4 and cranked the volume. ... WOW - these are so much better than my 5.1 system, both in quality and even in their ability to fill a room with sound. ... Very impressed with both the sound and the physical construction of the speakers. ... "
" ... sound quality very decent ... "
" ... Over the years I have had Klipsch, Cerwin Vega and Definitive Technology systems, so sound has always been a key part of systems I put together. ... I have had the speakers for one week and use them everyday for about 4 to 6 hours per day. ... When using the speakers for just listening to music I was pleasantly surprised with the overall sound. ... Remember we are talking about small speakers that pack a punch. ... "

" ... Haven't had great rumbling bass like this in years, but this unit will NOT disappoint. ... "
" ... the treble is crisp and clear, and the bass is loud and fills the room. ... "
" ... sounds great/ lots of base. ... "
" ... Bass is strong (depending on type of music or sound listening to) without over powering the midd and highs while still sounding clean. ... "
" ... I love how it sounds and the bass is amazing! ... "
" ... I started out with several tunes by my fave-rave Richard Thompson, and they all sounded fine, with both acoustic and electric bass. ... I then went heavy classical with "The Miraculous Mandarin" by Bartok, with all that powerful orchestral bass, once again it sounded very good. ... The Klipsch had a midrange and also an electrostatic tweeter. ... "
" ... The sound is reasonably balanced as long as you don't crank the bass too high, although many of you 17 year olds will probably think that's what you're supposed to do. ... "
" ... The sound quality is great and the bass is very impressive. ... "

" ... Keep in mind I use it mostly for gaming. ... "

" ... My husband loves to watch sports and it's like the teams are playing right in your living room!! ... "
" ... They have really loud, clear sound, and the sub-woofer makes the house shake. ... "
" ... 1 story house, 3 bedrooms, almost 1900 sq ft and it can shake the whole house easily. ... "
" ... What I do know is that in a bedroom or home office this is all I need. ... "
" ... I used these with a small tv in my craft room. ... "
" ... With a small group, in a smaller area with confined borders, it works well. ... I'm looking for a replacement solution for this, but this system would probably be a 5-star system for a confined office or living room sound system. ... "
" ... Great product but there's room for improvement. ... "
" ... I've recommended them to all of my friends and family, and recently purchased another set for another PC I have in the house. ... "

" ... I use them with a high quality external sound card and the optical cable. ... "
" ... thankfully I had just enough reach on this cable and did not have / want to move sub farther away from satellite. ... "
" ... It would have been nice if the cords were longer, but other than that, this system is remarkably good, loud, & quality. ... "
" ... They plugged right in to my desktop with the 2.1 jack and were good to go right out of the box. ... "
" ... Not having that tangle of wires from a 5.1 system is also very nice. ... "
" ... Speakers have a solid feel to them, high quality cables and connectors. ... A much simpler system, IMO, than others like the Bose that use a "puck" that sits on the desk, and that has a proprietary connector that, if it goes, the whole system is pretty much useless (found that out from experience). ... "
" ... With the laser cable built into the speakers you don't have that problem. ... "
" ... --Two input ports with detachable cables ... "

" ... A whole new side to music. ... "
" ... I like how they put the big Power, Bass, and Volume knobs on the one desktop speaker, rather than on a separate control pod that just tends to clutter up the desk. ... "
" ... I love the sound and the fact that the controls are easily accessible. ... "
" ... Simple controls and wiring. ... "

" ... You can use both inputs at the same time, example: if you have audio from your tv plugged in the aux port and your computer plugged into the red and white auxiliary port, you can play audio from both sources at the same time and they will both go through. ... "
" ... If you have a HDTV with "Variable Audio Out", buy a adapter cable and make your HDTV sound a million times better! ... "
" ... The ports, the user interface toggles on the speakers, the connections, everything is great about these speakers. ... "
" ... I say $150 because I chose the version with the optical port (Z625). ... Without the optical port (Z623), it's closer to $100. ... "
" ... They plugged right in to my desktop with the 2.1 jack and were good to go right out of the box. ... "
" ... For $100 fed by optical connection without a soundcard powered only by my ASUS Rog Strix Z390 E motherboard I literally rate it a 7 against an $8000 audio system. ... "
