Logitech has taken its award-winning Z-680 speaker system and made it even better. How? By improving everything from the subwoofer to the satellites and adding new innovations like...
more...real-time digital sound equalization. The result is the Logitech Z-5500 Digital, a THX-certified, 505-watt 5.1 surround sound speaker system that offers everything you could possibly want... and some things you didn't even know you needed. And once you plug in your PC, DVD or music player, or video game console, you'll never want to listen to anything else.

Great sound system with no real problems.
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by MattTS

Advantages: Great sound quality, remote control, looks good
Disadvantages: The subwoofer/amp need to be kept away from other devices

After having a cheap Creative 5.1 sound system for a few years I decided to replace it with a better system. I did some research and most places pointed to this being the best 5.1 set up for a PC that was available. I found a good deal and bought it straight away. I was not disappointed when it arrived and I had it set up. The 4 satelite speakers both look and sound great. The removable grill gives them the standard speaker look but once it's remove ...

Logitech Z-5500...It will blow your head off!!!
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by xannus07

Advantages: Very loud, very good quality, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Big and heavy subwoofer but that's to be expected!

...I eventually came across the Logitech Z-5500 - and I'm glad that I did. ~ The Setup I Have Now Got ~ When I found these speakers I originally thought that they would not be suitable due to the fact that on the box it says they are to be used mainly for PC's - but this was printed long before the PS3 came about, apparently. Now my set up is: Logitech Z-5500 ---> (optical cable) PS3 ---> (HDMI cable) HDTV This means that I can play my games and ... Read review

logical choice from Logitech
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by sting_of_the_scorpion

Advantages: powerful, clear sound
Disadvantages: display not always visible

I purchased this set of speakers after selling my set of Z5400, which was identical to this set, save for the digital control. At 500W RMS, this speaker set will get things going. I have had mine for about a year, and only one did I ever turn the volume up past the three-quarter mark - and that was just a test! Connected to a pc with a 5.1 channel output, this set really shines as a home theatre speaker system, with excellent sound quality, ... Read review

Phenomenal Speakers that will blow you away
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by rajaster

Advantages: The Sound clarity, design of speakers, price, ease of setup,
Disadvantages: size of the Sub, Wired and not wireless satellites, AND NEIGHBOURS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT LOUDNESS!

I've had these speakers for several months now. I purchased them from a local dealer who had an offer on and firstly I was amazed at the sheer size and weight of the box. Opening the packaging, it contained a remote control, batteries, the user manuals, 1 central speaker and 4 satallites, a centralised volume control system with nice blue neon lighting and lastly an absolutly gigantic Sub. Fitting was fairly easy, although i wished to originally ... Read review

Excellent speaker system, best for the money
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by skinnyman9000

Advantages: Loud, very good sound quality, snazzy design
Disadvantages: Sub box is massive

I used to have a set of Creative 2.1 speakers that cost me £40. They did the job well, but i was after some extra punch and sound quality. After searching on the net for various options i chose these, and boy am i glad i am! The sound quality through these speakers is superb! With a total of 505W RMS they kick out alot more sound than the majority of units available! Mine were purchased 18 months ago for £300, but they are considerably cheaper these ... Read review

Very impressed!
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by Dishy21

Advantages: Everything! Crisp and modern design!
Disadvantages: None!

...a more well known brand. Logitech first came to mind. As I unpacked these lovely speakers I firstly loved the design. I set it up quickly and tested them out, the quality is amazing on these. They not only look great but the sound also follows. I just can't get enough of the quality, it's so crisp and clear, I would reccomend it to anyone! After about a year they are still working fine, after a few drops also! Really good speakers, definately worth ... Read review

Worth every penny
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by mogzie

Advantages: Excellent Sound Quality, Good Bass, Very Load
Disadvantages: Sub/amp does not have magnetic protection

I've got to say, even with the high price that comes with this speaker system, it was definately worth the money! When I received the box, I could not get over how big (and heavy) it was. After opening it, I found that the Sub was taking up most of the room! The system looks fantastic, and wouldnt look out of place in a nice living room. The 5 surround speakers have stands that can be rotated, allowing you to place them on a desk/stand, or to wall ... Read review

Quick review of Logitech Z 5500
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by GuDoN

This product is hard not too miss, with the sleek design and mind numbing bass power on this 5.1 speaker set, it is no wonder you are reading this review! The sound quality on these speakers are not to be missed. We use it in our home, and not even half the power this speaker system can rock to. I know a computer store who uses these as their store's music system! This is a must have to impress friends, and may be too powerful for normal home users, but it will definitely have every visitor say wow.

Well Worth The Money
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by appollo2006

Advantages: Excellent set of speakers
Disadvantages: None

Bought these speakers over a year ago and I have had no problems with them, they are still going strong. Extremely good quality no matter what sound you put through them. I don't think I could live with anything less than these speakers now, the upmix is awesome the bass is thundering and the sattelites are extremely well made. Make sure you have room to keep the bass atleast 30cm away from your computer as the magnet in the bass could wipe your hardrive, ... Read review

Money well spent
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by faultman

Advantages: Amazing sound quality and bass response, very reasonably priced
Disadvantages: The magnet in the sub needs to be kept atleast 2 feet away from TV's and computer equipment

I bought these speakers at christmas time as I was looking for a set of loud 5.1 speakers for under £200 and i'm pretty sure these were the best ones for the money. The first thing my attention was drawn to upon them being delivered was the size of the box, most of this taken up by the sub woofer with it's huge 12'' speaker. The speaker system is so easy to set up a child could probably do it in less than five minutes without the instructions, just ... Read review

Logitech Z 5500 5.1 Surround Sound System
Review of Logitech Z 5500 by anthonygoeritz

Advantages: Reliable, excellent value for money, loud.
Disadvantages: Can get warm during playback.

I purchased these speakers from Amazon a few years ago and they have been all round excellent. They are incredibly loud,stylish and in my opinion great value for money. What sets these speakers apart from any others are the fact that they are adaptable to so many different media centres. For example, you can plug these speakers into not only a TV, but also a computer (some laptops may even be capable of doing so) or you can plug and iPod or any other ... Read review

Review of Logitech Z 5500 by mamboitaliano90

Advantages: Looks lush! great sound quick install
Disadvantages: not a thing!

Sexy and sleek design makes this set up perfect for any bed room! The speakers are easily wall mountable although take not there are no wall mounting kits provided with the speakers and you will need some pretty large screws to hold them in place l brouhg 6mm diameter thread screws to fix mine as the centre one l placed on the ceiling. This system was so easy to use just plug and play, l would recommend a decent sound card l personnally went ... Read review

Review of Logitech Z 5500 by mbikerdav

Advantages: Great souind, looks and power. Perfection.
Disadvantages: None Whatsoever

...the price of the previous logitech unit, and you should consider what youre getting for the money. Id still recommend them for small spaces, as youd never use them to their full potental, but if your building a media system for your office/bedroom or a high end performance PC, the Z5500s should be yours. ...
