  • RGB strikes again and this time on the G560 computer speakers from Logitech. This DEFINITELY wasn't what we were expecting from a brand that's been known for subtle lighting on their peripherals. but does the light show cover up for flaws in the sound quality and overall performance?

      Ikr? Between this and the Razer products it's all a fucking joke. You want a cheap "gaming" speaker that will probably blow anything from Razer or Logitech out of the water? Get a Klipsch Pro Media 2.1. Want something that will last you for at least a decade and can be used for everything (movies, music, gaming, production, whatever)? Get yourself a pair of JBL LSR305's. Everything else is a fucking joke.

      No argument there on the Klipsch. Back when the Z-5500's were available, the 5.1 version from Klipsch was also available. But they were out of my snack bracket at the time. So I did some more research on the Logitech's and went with those. But I remember every time I would go into Futureshop, I would salivate over them every time :))

    I actually got the G560 after the glowing reviews from some of my favorite CZcams channel's(Hardware Canucks included obviously). But I'm still frustrated that Logitech couldn't add the option to swap between the plugged in headphones and the speakers via G button toggle? There's gotta be a way(instead of the obvious - reaching to the back of the speaker every single time to plug/unplug the headphones).

  • @chrisdeguia4764
    @chrisdeguia4764 Před 3 lety

    So I just ordered a razer chroma. And I would say in recent memory this is the most practical purchase. I saw a different video comparing the g560 and chroma. It wasn't until this video that I realized the practicality of my purchase. I live in mobile home so, a subwoofer would have been house shaking. I don't even use the woofer on my current dell basic pc speakers. Second, my walls are painted dark green. I feel like the g560 would need a white background to be stunning as it is in the video. On top of that I have a tapestry of the Los Angeles skyline. Third my setup is cramped as it is, fitting the nommos will be a challenge, but as this review states you need enough distance to take advantage of the g560s. Overall the nommos just ticked various boxes for the practicality of my setup and environment. If I had a different house/room I am sure I would have went with the g560s.

    I'm returning these tomorrow. I added extended warranty for these at Microcenter, which allows you to return them for a gift card if not satisfied, solely because I read mixed reviews. These speakers are terrible. The sound is decent but they have some real shotty drivers. The Lightsync works half the time, the live desktop is delayed, and games have muffled audio. Even when tweaking 2.1/7.1 settings both via windows and G software, they kind of work/kind of don't with games like FarCry. I end up tossing on a headset instead. They are a pain in the ass to work with. I'm taking them back tomorrow and just picking up a real pair of 2.1s like some Klipsch. If I want RGB I'll add the new Hues.

    Few years later...still waiting for them to fix the bass levels which were to high in the beginning and now are all but gone after. Also would be nice if they TURNED ON WITH THE COMPUTER...instead of having to pull the cord every day. That's an exaggeration, I mostly use my Corsair Void Pros, but I do see when the speakers failed to launch when my color scheme gets fucked and it's pretty frequent...just can't win...
    Short of that, they are absolutely amazing. Sound amazing to me, beautiful back light, look very professional and clean, just riddled with software management issues...but totally worth the money IMO! I spent 350$ on a corsair keyboard that works as good as any 100$ one, so obviously there's more to it than it's primary feature that I rank. It feels like it'll last my life time, but with issues that haven't been resolved... eventually their lack of support will break it as they move forward.
    Your need for a remote is baffling. They are meant for a pc using the software. Convince them to fix their issues, not add more to them lol Or an idea, the software to be controlled by phone... but who changes their desktop color that often considering my setup alone has like 5 levels of color control for different peripherals...or more... imagine having 5 remotes just for color... easier to tune and customize with all windows open at the same time; to me at least.

      Yes! You can use the LGS reactive lighting and have another sound device working. For example, I use Corsair Void Pro gaming headset over wireless USB and the lighting still works on the G560, as long as it is connected via USB. The G560 doesn't have to be the default audio device on your PC for the lighting to work. In fact, you can even use modes like Audio Reactive with a headset set to default, so the audio plays via headset, but the G560 does reactive lighting. Also, these are Bluetooth compatible and have a 3.5MM audio jack, so they will work with consoles, you just need a PC to control lighting and other LGS functions.
