CAUTION: You can blow the sub-woofer easily. When first turning the system on, make sure your volume knob on the right front speaker is turned to minimum (counter-clockwise). Select a song you think will give you full ranges bass and treble, preferably a vocal so you can set your system for voice as well. After you start the song in Windows Media Player, bring up your volume slowly to attain YOUR desired listening level. IN WINDOWS XP: On Windows Media Player, under the "Now Playing" tab is a small triangle (arrow) pointing down. It will bring up a pull down menu when clicked. That will give you the option to view "ENHANCEMENTS". Click that option and select "Graphic Equalizer". When the equalizer is present, you may tailor your frequencies to boost or negate certain frequency ranges. PLAY with them and listen to how the song you are listening to, changes sounds throughout the sound spectrum. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BOOST BASS ... the sub-woofer will attempt to accommodate your desires but the sound will become distorted if too much boost is used. This is true through out the available boost / cut controls. Once you have it set to your liking on that particular song, try other songs. Make minor adjustments to get the sound YOU like.
Technical stuff? (LOL): The speaker cables are a bit stiff. Unfolding them from their shipment is not difficult. It's just that I like a speaker cord that is like spaghetti noodles :)~. The wire is easier to work with when applying it to your system and having to run it through various portals so your wiring is not only protected but is not seen and looks COOL! (Makes yer system look professional). The speaker wire length is adequate for a computer system. HOWEVER, the left front speaker that I installed did not have enough cable to reach my computer. NO BIGGIE. I have a lot of RCA cable extenders so making this system fit my needs and where it was supposed to finally "rest" was not difficult. That was about the only "con" to the system.
The system has PLENTY of power to wake the neighbors >):)~. Be kind if you live in an apartment complex. I have 3 complete audio/video systems in my apartment. 2 Bedrooms and my living room. Bose, JBL, Polk, Yamaha, Nakamichi, Denon. I've tried almost every speaker that the average person would buy. I even had the Bose Spatial Control amp back in the early 80's and the 901's it was designed for. Bose 201's, 301's, 501's, Acoustimass systems etc. JBL for just raw power. Polk? ... surprise yourself, it rivals Bose easily for far less $$$ (and ya can get it here on Amazon :)~. Yamaha amps. I would go further but my point is: I KNOW sound. I KNOW quality. I had it then and I have it now. I'm running 2 computers side by side and do most all my music on them both. The Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506 was a compact welcome full sound addition to what I already listen too.
YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !! Logitech did quite well at an extremely fair price for the quality of sound you get.
That system was so good that I wanted to just rebuy the same system and use it for the next 15 years but to my dismay Logitech no longer makes the model. It seems like the Z506 has taken the place of the old Z640 system. I thought for $65 that the system wouldn't be nearly as good and was extremely hesitant. I started looking into taking apart the sub on my 640 and trying to fix the issue. But after much debate I figured for $65 dollars I may as well buy this system and see if it was any good.
Now after having used it for over a week let me just say that this system is a steal for $65! The sound quality is crisp and excellent and the bass really hits when you turn up the sub. The sub is actually smaller on this system but has about the same power as my old system. I'm still getting used to having air blowing under my desk as the old system's sub didn't push air. But overall I'd say the entire system gets plenty loud and so far I have yet to crank them up much past half way.
I really only have three major issues with this system so far. The first issue is that the speakers are not mountable like the ones on my old system. The second issue is the placement of the volume knob on the right speaker. My old system placed the volume knob on the center speaker which was convenient because it's the closest speaker to the user. The old system also had a fader knob, a center speaker adjustment knob and a speaker fill toggle button for virtual surround of stereo sources. This new system puts it out of reach on my right speaker and only gives me a volume adjustment. The other adjustments can still be made with these speakers as long as your audio drivers support it. Realtek can adjust these things from the software side but having to open up my audio driver software to make the adjustments is clunky and not as convenient especially when fullscreen gaming while trying to adjust those things. Hopefully if Logitech designs a new system they will go back to putting adjustment knobs on the center speaker but only time will tell. But assuming their build quality is the same as it was on the system I got 15 years ago this system should last me quite a while.
My only other complaint which may be specific to set I got is that the right speaker randomly just stopped producing sound out of nowhere. I could still adjust volume of the other speakers using the knob on it but no audio would come out. Tried unplugging it from the sub and then plugging it back in but it still wouldn't work. Finally I unplugged the sub's power cable from the outlet and then plugged it back in and it started working again. Hopefully this will end up being a fluke and not a sign of some defect with the system itself that will get worse with time.
If you're looking for a good PC 5.1 system though I would definitely recommend getting this one. You can't beat the price. I was considering going with another 5.1 system on here with built in LED lights that was twice as much but I'm glad I stuck with Logitech. They make a quality product and because of this system the gunshots and explosions in Gears 5 sound awesome.
Top reviews from other countries
WARNING: The Logitech Z-506 only produces TRUE surround sound when connected to a device that can output 5.1 surround sound, which would require sound card capable of doing so. Therefore, I would have to connect it to my computer using all cables provided (green, black and orange), in order to achieve TRUE surround sound. Otherwise, the speakers output a VIRTUAL or EMULATED surround sound, which in my opinion is sufficient, and surprisingly pleasant.
The only slight con is that the ON/OFF button is fragile and sometimes it takes more than one push to turn it ON/OFF.
If you are looking to connect these to a TV and want TRUE surround sound, this is not for you!
this quality also very good packing also very nice.
I was putting together a fun game room and decided to grab a decent quality but also easy on the pocketbook set of computer speakers that included a subwoofer as well as center. I went all out and decided to mount 4 of these speakers in the corners of the room against the ceiling as well as to wire LED multi-color lights behind each speaker. ( that is why some pictures are upside down and strange colors ) Mounting the speakers as I have done really gives the full sound right across the entire room, it's actually quite amazing to hear from such a small speaker set.
In all the different types of media, game, mp3, movie, general internet media these speakers have performed like a champ.
Very easy to connect, just plug and play. The computer output just plugs into the subwoofer's back "INPUTS" area and the speakers themselves just quickly plugged into the "SPEAKERS" area and with that you're all set up to listen to some great sound.
Logitech has been a tried and true brand with us as we've bought a number of computer speakers for us and as gift over the years. They always provide great quality sound with a small cost, if you can find their speakers on sale it is an even more amazing deal.
The volume is controlled by the one of the front speakers while bass can be controlled by the rear of the subwoofer. I quite like that the bass can be adjusted as with some models that is a feature that cannot be adjusted.
I would in a heartbeat recommend these to any friend as well as other shoppers here on Amazon.
