Logitech Z506 > Reviews (2)

Introduction

I was looking for a Hi fi system so that I could listen to music in my bedroom because previously I had just been using my Xbox 360 through my Television and the quality was not very good.

To my surprise on Christmas day I opened this Logitech z506 surround sound system and have been very impressed since.

My Opinion

I'm blown away with how amazing these speakers are for the low price. I have got the speakers set up with my Xbox 360 that way I can play video games, watch films and listen to music through the speakers with ease this works perfectly for me as the television in my bedroom is only used for media and I rarely watch television in my room.

It's a good package that you get and really good value for money I feel that these speakers are most suited in small to medium sized rooms, I have tested them out in larger room but feel that the cables did not stretch fair enough away from the television, I could just extend the cables easily but like I said as this sound system mainly used in my bedroom I did not see much point.

Sound quality

The sound quality is good considering how small the speakers are. It uses 3D sound technology instead of real surround sound but the 3D Sound technology gives pretty much the same effect as surround sound. I have noticed when watching films that sometimes sound effects are played on just the right hand side speakers and when the effect is needed it works well.

The subwoofer that is included is the biggest speaker in the set and it gives a total output of 27 watts. There is a controllable knob on the back of the subwoofer which gives you more than enough choice for the level of bass that you will want. For example: I find that when listening to Dance music I have the knob turned onto the highest setting but when watching a film or playing a video game I have the bass setting down low.

When I have the bass setting turned up to the highest level you can feel the bass downstairs and you can certainly ribble a few windows if you wanted to.

Looks

What you see is what you get, you get 2 right hand speakers, 2 left hand speakers, one central speaker and a dedicated subwoofer.

I have 2 of them at the either side of my bed and 2 of the others by either side of my television. The central speaker goes just above my television and the bass subwoofer is next to my Xbox 360 on the floor.

I don't see very much of the speakers and when one does stick out, my central one above my television well it's so small that you hardly see it.

Overall

If you are looking for value for money then you are in luck these speakers are good value for money and I will recommend them to anyone who wants speakers in a smaller type of room.
