If you need a great set of PC speakers for movies and games, then the Z5500s should be a prime candidate. For music lovers they may not be the first choice, but their strong performance all around means they cannot be ignored.

Strong bass, Great sound overall

A little weak in the music department

Logitech Z-5500 Digital

 

Fearsome volume levels. Plugs directly into almost any analog or digital source. Deep bass. Outstanding tethered control pod and wireless remote.

Bass can overwhelm the sound.

The Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system is a 5.1-channel behemoth that boasts a wealth of connectivity options and multi-channel effects. It's a perfect match for most game consoles, home theaters, and PCs—but its bombastic low end can become...

Logitech Z-5500 Digital THX Certified 5.1 Speaker Set Review

 

I don't know where to start. These speakers are just amazing, the clarity this speaker set delivered was unmatched. Even the Logitech Z-680s could not compete with the Z-5500s. Both sets are incredibly loud and offer superior bass than anything I've...

Had this system for several years and it has been the best purchase of my life. So much bass, soooo loud its ridiculous.. But me being me i blew it up from having it blasted so the heavens could hear it. When i went to replace it i found they no longer...

The best for its price

 

i payed $300AUD for this system brand new through Logitech, i could not be happier with this, i use it with my XBOX 360, big parties, my computer and everyday tv use. the speakers have held up in my need for loud music and the subwoofer actually shakes...

Seperate volume control that isnt in the way, rock the house bass and customise so all 5 speakers work multi channel (not surround)

Better than Logitech's current release

 

When Logitech decided to upgrade their Z-680; I had to see for myself as to what the fuss was all about. I bought this back in 2005 or so and it was the most expensive set of speakers apart from what Creative had. The Z-5500 had a very high quality...

Quality Build, Capabilities, Features

Uses up a fair bit of space; Cables can be messy if not sorted out properly; getting in trouble if you jack up the volume including the powerful base

Good

 

Excellent system overall. System has one mean subwoofer, it literally rocks the boat. System is on the expensive side but somehow I managed to get it for around $360 from a well known I.T retailer (still think they gave me the wrong price).

Bought my Z5500 about 2 years ago. Has excellent sound quality. THX is developed by a George Lucas's company. Excellent for gaming, movies and music. As presets for all different modes available. Individual volume control for subwoofer, center speaker...

Usual retail price is quite expensive. Same design has been around for more then 3yrs. Have blown 2 fuses during powering up of the system from a complete shutdown (keep spare fuses). The blue backlight for the LCD screen recently stopped working, the...

Excellent

 

I use this set up on my high end PC for music and games. With the sub under the desk playing games like Crysis, the explosions make the whole desk shake. The 3D sound that comes from high end sound card compliments this 5.1 96/24 system perfectly. I...

Brilliant sound quality level. Expansive range of inputs. Additional settings on effects let you tweak you sound further. Distortion free bass. Great looking speaker, I keep the covers off. I have had this system for about 4 years now, doesn't miss a...

The cable length form the sub (amp) to the control should be longer. The neighbors may not appreciate the thumping bass ;)

Terrible

 

Logitech is good if it keeps working ,if it is out of warranty and it needs repairing forget it. Logitech only replaces the unit if it fails in warranty . No Spare Parts available.

They are very good powerful sound great to listen to.

My set stopped working about 18 months 6 months out of warranty. No replacement ,no spare parts. Throw them away . Buy something else.

For the price of a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system you get alot!! Amazing 5.1 surround sound, dobly digital, THX and dts to name a few of its capabilities. The system as a range of easy to use settings, and a number of different inputs, including your...

Amazing sound, can't beat it. Easy to use and to set up with little knowledge required

The size of the subwoofer is a little big and could be cut down for easier placement.
