You'll Never Want To Listen To Anything Else
Do you feel like the audio you listen to everyday could use some improvement? Here's the perfect solution to that, the ever impressive and award-winning Logitech Z-680 speaker system that has been made even better. New innovations like real-time digital sound equalization have been added and features from the sub woofer to the satellites have been improved!
All of these resulted into a THX-certified, 505-watt 5.1 surround sound speaker system called the
Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified Speaker System. Plug it in your PC, DVD or music player or video game console and you'll never want to listen to anything less than the great sounds this speaker gives out.
It really gives you everything you want in a speaker system!

I replaced a similar JBL system I bought 8 year ago for about the same cost. That's the only comparable thing about the two systems. The Logitech system is vastly superior. Well designed, quality components, ample conectivity, ease of use...I just can't say enough good things about this product. Just buy it! Prices are all over the place so beware. I paid $279 here plus shipping.

it sounds like u guys know so much about audio and computers. wow i wish i was smart like u guys. but hey arent hard drives magneticly shielded. oh yeah infact they have neodynium magnets in them. so i guess thats y i have no problem putting my pc next a 18inch sub with a 95oz magnet(way larger than what comes on the z5500) with no problem at all. and all the good reviews this system has gotten from tigerdirect,cnet, and many other reputal companies means they must be morons. um nope. u need to do some reading n find out how things work b4 u go putting something down.

These speakers are great and better than my home system. It's pathetic in the US I can't type what I want as a review. I tried around eight times and it wouldn't take my submission, so I'll spend my time complaining. I'll never do a review here again.

This surround sound system Sounds amazing with movies and Games but it is true that it is lacking on the mids and music doesn't sound the best on it but its also not bad. But they are THX Certified and It really sounds amazing with Movies and games. If you are wanting to buy surround sound for music Id spend a little more and go with a home theater system like sony or something like that. These are probaly the best pc surround speakers out there ATM.
Very pleased Quality and price

Sound great with my Viera Plasma.
Easy setup.
Heavy box.
Had to send the wife out to drag it into the house.
Fast shipping as usual.
