Manufacturer's Description

Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System

The Z-5500 system from Logitech will be the best 5.1 standalone speaker package you've ever purchased. Not only do you get four sleek 62W satellites, a 69W center speaker, and a booming 188W sub, but also a control pod with remote that blends in with the rest of the package. The Z-5500 is a performer -- not only is it THX-Certified, but it decodes Dolby Digital, DTS, and 96/24 PCM without any additional hardware with a SNR of 93.5 dB. Best yet, with this package you can bring studio quality surround sound to more than just your PC -- the control unit features RCA jacks, digital optical, and digital coaxial inputs to hook up your DVD or CD player, game console, or other audio components.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: These Speakers ROCK! My 5-Star rating is for the speakers, not Patriot PC Outlet.

Weaknesses:Too Expensive from a store who "Proudly Serving Those Who Serve Proudly!

Overall Evaluation: Hey, you can get these same speakers from TigerDirect.com for $259.99. Newegg.com has the same speakers, but costs $302.99. Either way, both are better in price than here! No, I did not buy from here,

Duration of ownership: 30 Days

Strengths: Bass is amazing, Quality is very good, although my first set, broke, the terminals on the subwoofer shorted out, so I ended up with a 2.1 instead "sigh" I hear its common though

Weaknesses:Since there isn't a tweeter, its pretty bad listening to piano solos and guitar, like real music Doesn't sound that great, their reallllly loud, and good for gaming, dumb and bass and thats it =/

Overall Evaluation: In short, its really boomy, with alot of bass, some clarity, but if your an audiophile like me, I wouldn't buy them, I would just go with a Klipsch or the Creative S750's because these aren't good for anything other than bass and gaming.

Strengths: clear sound, thummping bass, many add on's

Weaknesses:no hdmi

Overall Evaluation: i have read dozens of reviews on the logitech z-5500 and watched many vids on youtube too, one or two reviews said the bass was too heavy, while this may be true if you have a half decent soundcard you can simply control the bass with the software. the speakers look great, the control panel is the size of a brick with a big fat dial to control the sound! the sub is i think one of the biggest you can buy for the pc, the sound on call of duty 4 is awesome...tiger woods 2008? not so much. great value for yourmoney am using the z-5500's for my home theatre. logitech have made a great system.

Duration of ownership: 2 Years

Strengths: pshhh every thing about this product is strong. They made their newer model weaker because of this product. This is like the old hot rods. Too strong for the streets. But they had their time.

Weaknesses:lol none

Overall Evaluation: If you can still find this product. Get it. Logitech is trying to push their 7.1 system which is less strong in the bass department. Eventually it will be gone. I got mine for $250 2 years ago. It is much cheaper now. GET IT!!! This thing will literally hurt your ears. No joke. It can cause pain in your ears and eventually give you a headache that lasts a while. Also it could damage your hearing. And after all that is what we are looking for aren't we?

Strengths: Crisp, clear, incredible sound, loud LoUd LOUD, optical input, remote control, quality construction with great looks, handy control modual.

Weaknesses:A bit pricey

Overall Evaluation: This device, coupled with my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card can really make my windows rattle! The only problem is that my wife won?t let me use it to its full potential while she?s home =( I was not expecting the subwoofer to be the size of a dog house, but I guess that?s what you need to get the huge sound that you do! I use my system mostly for gaming and the surround sound, crisp audio, booming base, and directionality is awesome! Now that I?m playing games with the new sound card/speakers, I feel like I?m hearing whole new games.
