Pros: The sound quality is very good considering the price. A solid entry-level 5.1 system. I also like the fact I can plug my headphones into the volume controller.

Cons: The speakers look and feel cheap, they're light, but still do a great job. My only real complaint is about the subwoofer, it's pretty muddled and not crisp sounding at all. Still, it works fine for playing music on a computer

Pros: Excellent speakers. My previous set (not Logitech) had an annoying wine to them, so I replaced them with these and have not been disappointed. They sound great! The remote makes it very convenient to handle these speakers as well.

Cons: These cons are not a big deal, but something to keep in mind.

[ ] The remote cannot be detached (at least from what I see), so threading it through small spaces will be very difficult.
[ ] The matrix mode is not a cure-all. If you are playing multiple tracks on top of each other (as in a game for instance), it can get very buggy.
[ ] The base has no protection around it. However, it is facing the floor and nothing should be able to damage it. Just be careful when taking it out of the box.

Other Thoughts: I am extremely happy that I bought this system. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to replace their speaker system!

Pros: Clear sound, low noise and plenty of room (cable) to extend the speakers in a 5:1 configuration. Excellent price too

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: None

Pros: Crisp clear sound for a fantastic price. Using on a PC for movies, music and games, Wired remote is a nice feature for desk top use. Bass is more than I need with no distortion. You will not find better speakers in ths price range.

Cons: As other reviewers have noted, it would be preferable to have some kind of protective cover on the sub speaker. You need to be very careful when handling.

Other Thoughts: The surround sound playback when watching a movie are definately the strong point for these speakers. Although music and games are very good too. If you are looking for a good set and not wanting to pay $300 + these are a very good buy.

Pros: Great Product.
HD Subwoofer, Tweeter is amazing, and all other speakers have such high quality sound.
Tweeter Monitor clip is very innovative and useful.

Cons: Not a con for the product itself.. but i dont have to the room for full surround sound area.

M has the tweeter.
Matrix mode doesnt get full potential in this set up. i wish i could take its full potential, but i dont have the room

Other Thoughts: other than my personal issue, these are amazing speakers, and i hughly suggest. they sound as good as my 5.1 home theatre speakers!

Pros: The wired controller is a very nice upgrade from not having one on the X-530. The Matrix button is Great. This is a nice entry level 5.1 system and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget 5.1. Mainly for gaming.

Cons: While sound quality is good it could be better. Would not recommend for music at high volumes, as the sub will max out and you have to turn the sub down.

Other Thoughts: If you don't need the 5.1 Spend the 30 extra on the Z-2300

Pros: The wired controller is a very nice upgrade from not having one on the X-530. The Matrix button is Great. This is a nice entry level 5.1 system and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget 5.1. Mainly for gaming.

Other Thoughts: If you don't need the 5.1 Spend the 30 extra on the Z-2300

Pros: This system is ok for the average pc or workplace system.

Newegg has the best deal on this system.

Cons: The Speakers are extremly cheap and the front metal cover vibrates.

Other Thoughts: Buy this for the amp and use a better Quality Speaker.

I use Advent box speakers in the front and Infinity in the rear and all works well.
The Matrix button only works 1/2 the time because of codec or something in vids.

Running via X-Fi Platinum

Pros: These speakers are excellent!! I have them running threw an Omega Striker 7.1 SC and i couldn't be happier. installation is just as easy as all speakers (color coded)

Cons: none at this time

Other Thoughts: the sound card is improving the sound quality im sure, but the speakers are still producing better and louder than i imagined

Pros: These speakers are great! I have been looking around for a while and wondering if I wanted to spend the extra $$$ on the higher wattage Logitech. At first I was concerned they would not be loud enough or capable of handling higher volume levels. I was wrong, they sound great at all levels even really high with a lot of bass. Clarity and loudness go hand in hand and I can't seem to find a problem with the sound quality at all. Matrix mode is great for listening to music, and when paired with a nice HD sound card or onboard HD audio, the 5.1 hookup is easy and sounds amazing.

Cons: Cord length for the front left and right speakers. Not a big problem because they are after all meant for a computer/TV on a desk/stand.

Other Thoughts: Buy these if you are looking for great 5.1 sound and don't want to break the bank. You get more than you pay for with this system!!
