Logitech Z906 5.1 Pc Speakers Review

I am using these as replacement speakers for my PC Z906 5.1 surround system, specifically for music from my turntable which is attached to my subwoofer/amplifier. I'm using another brand for my center speaker.

I bought the Z906 to replace my aging Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 system with a failing amp. I loved the Klipsch speakers, but sadly Klipsch (and seemingly everyone else other than Logitech) has stopped making 5.1 multimedia systems. Thankfully Logitech makes a pretty good unit. The real draw to something like this, in my opinion, is if you want a relatively compact, reasonably-priced, good-sounding setup that you can easily plug a computer into. I've used this sort of setup in my living room with great results, and at a fraction of the cost of buying separate components. Since my computer has pretty solid sound-processing capability, I don't have the need for all the extra features of a stand-alone receiver. The Logitech Z906 packs quite a punch and sounds almost as good as the Klipsch in most situations. Pluses for the Z906 are it's built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding (for things like an XBox) and its included remote control. True, it doesn't handle the Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD soundtracks on Blu-Ray discs, but my computer does, and so the analog pass-through from the PC into the Z906 makes this unnecessary in my case anyway. The Z906 seems solidly built, and is easy to install with its standard speaker mount points and spring-lock speaker wire connectors. One very minor quibble is that the power cable is permanently attached to the sub (the Klipsch used a detachable C14 computer-style plug). Overall, I'm very happy with the Z906.

I own a video production company and have 28 employees. I have six editors that use Mac Pro's, all the Mac's use fiber optic from the Mac sound card to a windows PC running Creative X-Fi Elite Pro THX Certified sound cards. All the editing bays have this setup and use Creative GigaWorks S750, 7.1, THX Certified, 750 watt speaker systems. The Logitech Z906, 5.1, THX Certified, 500 watt speaker system is replacing one of the Creative S750 speaker systems that was 12 years old. Logitech appears to be the only company that offers a high wattage, 5.1, THX Certified Speaker System, no one that I can find carries a 7.1, THX Certified, high wattage sound system. The sound quality of the Logitech Z906, 5.1, THX Certified, 500 watt speaker system is outstanding. The signal-to-noise level is perfect for clean audio sound. We use Final Cut Pro 10 and Avid Media Composer 7 editing software and even when we add LFE (Low Frequency Effects) we get no distortion, the speakers are small enough to not waste a lot of space on the editing board. For the user/pro that wants a quality sound system and has the sound card that will facilitate the Z906 speaker system then the Logitech Z906 is the sound you are looking for.

Great for connecting gaming PC to IHS 2.1 speakers from Logitech. Fantastic sound quality from this cable and speaker combo

I love it just wish I could hook up more speakers together. Wish I could do true 5.1 surround

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these speakers after my previous Logitech speakers started having issues with sound quality after only 29 years. So far, these speakers sound good. I hope to get as much use out of them as I did the speakers they are replacing.

I do not think this is too expensive.I had previously used the z-5500, which this replaced; this is not as good but it is satisfying as a 5.1 solution when there are so very few 5.1 solutions for pc gaming available. In fact I am surprised and pleased with it to point of no longer missing the z-5500; when I realized this the other day I was so glad that I felt like writing a second review. I am able to adjust settings for my pc, windows 7, to play music or to play games, and with both I am happily satisfied. It is a satisfying sound, meaning to say there is not anything irritating or frustrating about the sound, esp since I have learned how to adjust the settings by practice; the surround speakers have a more distinct quality than the z-5500 surrounds, brighter I would say; the subwoofer is better than I expected, believable in games and in music both (although is does not move furniture like the z-5500 did). It has an attractive, to me, appearance. It is versatile.

This 2.1 system by far is the best set-up I have ever owned from Logitech. Speakers are crisp and clean, lows are low and highs or high. I use these while gaming, as my PA speakers when I'm making my style of music(electro house) on FLStudio and mixing while using my DJ Pioneer DDJ-800 controller. Thanks Logitech for making such a fine product, and never discontinue these great speakers. Thanks

Rock out and rock on with the best speakers for your PC

Spent more and got less. This is quite a good deal for pc speakers.
