    Strengths: Great look, Good control keypad, Sound good.

    Weaknesses:Rear speakers can be kind of a hassle to find a place to set up.

    Overall Evaluation: These speakers do well with what they offer. The individual speakers can have custom designs placed on the exterior to jazz them up a bit. The control pad has all the features you would want to fix on the fly- volume dial. The mic jack is a nice bonus with its own mute button so you can mute just the mic itself. Not Bose quality, but still pretty good sound, especially for the price compared to a Bose system.-My one problem came up with the rear speaker placement. The way my computer desk is set up, there is nowhere the set the rear speakers, the cords were not that easy to route either. I'm sure most can get over that though and even having the rear speakers to to the sides and not the rear, I'm still very pleased.

    Strengths: very strong sound and good looks

    Weaknesses:none, so far so good

    Overall Evaluation: Great sounds. Very happy with my purchase. My PC has Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Sound Card and it matches speakers perfectly. I hear new things during game :) I would definetly buy these speakers again. For the price you pay they are perfect.

    Strengths: amazing sound

    Weaknesses:a little bulky

    Overall Evaluation: This is the best speakers that I have ever had, the sound is really amazing , especially the subwoofer, gives lots of fun. My neighbour kept knocking my door and ask me to turn down the voice at the first day I got it. It will definitely worth your money , try it and you will have the experience that you never had before, highly recommend it! It is a little bulky in my small apartment though.

    Strengths: Affordable price, nice bass and treble

    Weaknesses:none

    Overall Evaluation: This logitech 5.1 speaker system can be a very nice choice for someone who is looking for 5.1 system in the market. Treble is very good even though it does not have seperate tweeter, and also bass is very nice. Sometimes bass is too much though. For the price I paid, this set is highly recommended.

    Strengths: Slick looking, strong bass

    Weaknesses:Voice is not the crispest

    Overall Evaluation: I was looking to upgrade from an old Logitech Z3 2.1 speaker system to a 5.1 speaker system, and this G51 was in the price range I was considering, so I bought one. I am not a gamer, and I don't watch movies on my computer much, so this purchase was probably an overkill for my needs. I tried some movies with it, but I can't seem to get a good 3D sound out of it - I can't get the "plane passing by from behind" kind of sensation. I don't know if it's my placement of the speakers, or my computer's hardware (Dell integrated 5.1 audio on mobo). Compared with Z3, G51 has a much stronger bass, which is also adjustable. However, no matter what settings I tried on G51, the voice/speech range never sounded as crisp as Z3's, probably because of the inherent bass design. The Matrix modes did change the sounds somewhat, but I can't say if they truly improved the quality of sounds in the mode they are meant for. The volume also changes when you change betwee modes, so it's hard to compare one with another. I ended up sticking with no Matrix mode. The speakers look much more stylish than other generic 5.1 speakers on the market. But I don't know why Logitech didn't bother using a more symmetric shape for center speaker. The installation guide is probably one of the most disorganized document I've seen. Multiple languages are placed and mixed in confusing blocks. I wish they had put the different languages on different pages, and throw in some pictures about how the speakers should be placed to achieve optimal sound. If you only want to enjoy everyday multimedia from the web, where most audio and video are only two channel, then you probably don't need this speaker system. If you want to invest for future 5.1-channel experience, then I guess this could be a nice set. Overall, it's pretty decent. Maybe my view of it will improve, if I start playing some PC games in the future.
