" ... I think the sound might be my favorite part of my set up, even though it was one of the least expensive parts. ... I can't tell the difference between this and theatrical sound. ... I'm very happy I went with this for $250 instead of the BOSE set up for $4-5k. ... "
" ... I have this system connected to a Sound Blaster AE-5 internal sound card using the 6-channel input cable provided with the system along with 3.5mm 6’ extensions because the 6’ cable provided with the system wasn’t long enough for me to reach the subwoofer where I put it. ... It also has stereo and aux inputs. ... The speakers are 4 ohm with a good solid hefty feel and sound even better than my 8 ohm AV satellites I used with my AV receiver. ... "
" ... We live our new surround sound. ... "
" ... I am very pleased with the sound, even when cranked up fairly loud. ... "
" ... Sound quality on these is quite a bit better and with 1k watts (as opposed to the 500 watts of the old system,) I finally have enough power to listen to metal in my 8' x 10' computer room. ... "
" ... First sound system I’ve ever bought. ... The speakers feel sturdy and the sound they produce is amazing. ... However the sound quality could go down or feel off based on user set up so be careful when installing. ... "
" ... I use it with a Sound Blaster sound card. ... "
" ... (5) Here is the Subwoofer ... (7) Subwoofer top. ... (9) Subwoofer speaker jacks close up ... Well, these speakers are awesome. ... "

" ... Amazing for the bucks, won't be dissapointed. ... "
" ... Yes there are better and more expensive speakers but for the value and quality you get for this price you cannot beat it. ... "
" ... Money well spent imo. ... "
" ... but again for the price Logitech did a pretty good job of it over all. ... IMHO best bargain entry level system for the price. ... Lastly, at List Price: $399.00 MSRP they were out of my price range, sorry im pensioned on SSI only. ... "

" ... super nice system and loud. ... "
" ... i bought this for my living room so music wont be a huge factor in this surrounds use . ... "
" ... Tried a stereo system after that and it just sounded empty like a hole in the room after being used to 5.1 for years. ... "
" ... Each speaker sounds perfectly balanced. ... "
" ... It is definitely made to be a computer surround sound system, but I bought this to put in my living room. ... "
" ... These lil guys can be loud and turn your livingroom into a movie theater show room. ... "
" ... It has very full sound and doesn't seem to stress when at higher volumes. ... The speaker wire that came with it was just enough for my average size living room, but if you have a spacious living room, get extra wire, you are going to need it if you want to set them up properly. ... "

" ... Bass is decent (keep mine at half for now) ... "
" ... But the bass doesn't overpower the rest of the system. ... "
" ... Bass is unbelievable for the money spent. ... "
" ... this has the best bass and sound effect. ... This has the best loudness and bass effect and it's worth every penny. ... "
" ... Sounds great but one disadvantage is there is no bass control like other Logitech systems. ... "
" ... Sure you can get better systems for pure music listening due to the z906 not having tweeters. ... If you're into bass, this thing hits hard. ... It's very punchy and not boomy sounding. ... "
" ... The bass is VERY good. ... "
" ... The Subwoofer is so powerful, I have to turn the bass down for consideration of my neighbors. ... "

" ... Would recommend buying extra wire if you are installing in a room bigger than a small master bedroom. ... "

" ... Highly reccomend buying universal wall mounts and 16 gauge (100ft-150ft) speaker wire. ... "
" ... I upgraded the speaker wire, bought a high end optical cable. ... "
" ... The second set I am currently using run from Xbox One X using an audiophile grade audioquest optical cable. ... The wiring that came with the system was replaced with monster non oxidized copper speaker wire. ... "
" ... I also like how logitech ran the wire connections from the PC to the sub instead of the controller, keeping wire situation more manageable. ... "
" ... If you find you have excess wire I'd suggest folding the excess into loops the way it came packaged and use the twist ties that came with the packaging. ... "
" ... I have also played some PS4 and PS3 through it and it sounds amazing with optical cables. ... "
