I can relate with you, i saw this system back in 2012 when i was 11 and after i saw the price, i instantly thought i would never own this but after 7 years now.. finally bought this in january with my own money and its still 100% worth it in my eyes and would probably be the most expensive piece of gadget that i will own for many coming years..
Sami_Got _Vibes bruh, I picked one up on offer up for $120 that is actually 5 years old, looks no more than a few months old and works like new. I had that 2.1 system too and that bumped. My next project is to upgrade the satellites to Micca Covo-s then replace the stock sub with a Dayton subwoofer. Yes I’m making sure to match ohm and wattage within reason. Also, the remote sucks but I have my nvidia shield tv 2019 remote controlling the volume but if you need to change inputs or effects you still the need the Logitech’s stock remote.
I’ve had my z623 for 8 years and sadly they’ve finally blown after all this time. The best speakers I’ve ever had! But now I wanted to get these and I’m super excited for these!
I've had the Z5500 for 15 years and very happy with it. Just before the lock-down, the console fell on the ground and was dead. I brought it to a repair shop, but they couldn't fix it. Now I'm waiting for the Z906 to arrive this week (ordered online for 269 euro). Amazingly, for the Z5500 I paid a whopping 356 euro, that was 15 years ago. Thanks for the review, I'm sure I'll love this beast as much as you do.
Amazingly whopping 356? Bruh 356 Euro equals 651.21 New Zealand Dollar The Z906 is over $800 NZD right now! 437 EURO for the Z906 right now in New Zealand!
purchasing a brand new boxed speaker system or a receiver or a mini hi fi system is always one of the feelings you can hardly compare to anything else! good speakers man! i wanted to buy this too but i got a Creative inspire t6160 5.1, 5 years and it still works great!
Tks for the measurements of the sub , I have to replace my old unit. I’ve had it for some time ( 10yrs) It’s same size as yours, now I’ll order a replacement. Tks again
Just got these speakers, only flaw, it doesn't decode LPCM 5.1 audio, but that's very minor. My Blu Ray and UHD 4K Blu Ray discs sound awesome. Pronounced surround info that I can hear clear and detailed, the dialogue center channel is clear. It's awesome to own a THX certified system for under 700.00. Great review.
Thank you so much, I'm glad your liking the system as much as i am and yes although it might have that one issue, for under 700 i feel it can't be beat. Thanks for watching.
Very cool made me more happy with my purchase sounds powerful I can imagine how it actually sounds when u actually hear it yourself in your room 😁 Thank you and those tunes you played are kick ass !! 😁 want to get them, I just ordered mine today should be in Cyprus between the 16th to 2nd November I cant wait paid 304 euros for but that's including the delivery cost of 32 euros. So basically 262 euros for it not bad at all 😁 worth it
Man after hearing you amazed of these speakers and me too (as an owner) just take a look over these people giving negative reviews about this product , because it stopped working in less than 2 months , or other stupid reason. I bought this 6 months ago , works like a charm , can't even go higher than half , it would go insane. my neighbors in the first floor . always saying that , their roof is rattling(i am on the third floor) , bass on 55-60% + logitech volume on 65-70%(This thing rattles the whole building , not only my house). sure the z5500 (that i never seen or tested before) is a bit better compared to bass only. Man it just feels bad , that people are either driving them on full power with bass boosted songs, So that it would stop working , Or they cannot setup this system.
Well thank you very much i do try to make the review videos i do as best i can. Glad to hear you'll be trying to buy these you won't be disappointed, they're a great buy, and the help a lot when it comes to video editing too since they're so precise.
Maybe you could give me a bit of advice. It would me optimal for me, for space, cabling and visual reasons, to put the subwoofer on a wardrobe. But I'm afraid the wardrobe could make ugly sounds by acting as some muffled resonator or just by grating at its joints. Do you have any opinion on that? I know the sub ought to be put on a floor, but I guess I'd put up with it being up high, save the mentioned possible problems.
Sure I'd be happy to give some advice. Ideally when buying a system like this you have to keep one thing in mind which is placement. Remember each satellite speaker is mountable so if you can, try to do that but if you can't that's fine too just remember to space these out all around you if you can, this is a 5.1 3D sound system so placing the satellites in key spots where sound can bounce off walls properly and get to you in the best possible way would be most ideal. However if you can't put them around you then you can put them together in one spot however the 3D aspect will be cut down a bit. Now for the subwoofer. Seeing as i know first hand how loud this woofer can get for only 165watts, i would say that it honestly does need to be on the ground, maybe behind the head of a bed or couch or something where it can be hidden if possible. In your case if all you might have is putting it on top your wardrobe then here's what might happen to the sound especially if the wardrobe is higher than about lets say 3ft or so. The sound will come out as normal but you will hear it a little weird, meaning the bass won't seem as punchy as you think it should be and the sound will most likely bounce off walls in a way where you might not feel the full bass however there is always the chance that maybe if you place the port on the sub closer to a wall ontop your wardrobe then it's possible for it to still sound pretty decent. All in all buying a 5.1 channel system means you need to make sure your placement is right so that you enjoy the full range the speaker can give. I hope this was of some help to you and if you do have another question feel free to ask i'd be glad to share my answer with you.
Thank you VERY much. So I guess I'll just have to buy it first and then test for the optimal placement. That is ok, although my original plan was to first install all mounts, sockets, put the wires inside drywall, and only then bring the guest of honor, when everything is ready. But you helped to convince me it might be unwise. On a different note, I don't know if you need such things, but I already bought a bluetooth receiver tp-link HA100, which I think is a great thing. I'll connect it to the stereo RCA input (#2?) and I'll be able to conveniently play music from my laptop or smartphone. Also, I plan to buy a HDMI to toslink conveter to have surround sound from my laptop. And, since I may put the subwoofer/amplifier somewhere far from my desk, and I love using a knob to set the volume, I also checked out possibilities to extend the control cable. Random VGA cables will most probably not work, but I found a generic screened multi wire cable and some plugs, so I guess it'll be feasible to make an extension.
@@fro189 it is one beast of a system music movies youtube videos sound amazing everything is just pure awesomeness you can feel the pounding bass i am going to do a review soon i did a unboxing feel free to subscribe to me and join the PowerFamily i have made lots of videos.
I cant believe this is like Decade old model with no NEW MODEL since then ....BUT because of the BRAND & 5.1 SYSTEM , bought it for my new desktop computer i just ordered..i have 2 speakers & subwoofer model with my old computer for almost the 10 years & still works like charm , this is Just a BIG bang & boom & bought it for $400, is not f*n cheap
An easy upgrade is some quality speaker wire, 100ft of braided all-copper 16 gauge wire is really shockingly cheap and improves the sound noticeably. Even with really nice speakers the included wires are usually junk.
I was using subtitles while watching this video because my speakers weren't working and then i finally got them to work and they blasted the music. 10/10 scared the shit out of me
Thanks for your review it helps me to double confirm to buy, I wanted to have this system for almost 4 years tracking the price finally I get it today (black Friday) for 199.99 on amazon... amazing the lowest price I ever saw on this system.
I bought a Dolby Atmos Receiver and a 10" Subwoofer for $275 on black friday. That's a better deal IMO. Most games and movies are coming out with dolby atmos lol. You should've done more research.
I am going to have this beauty delivered in 2 days. Bought the Bluetooth receiver as well :)) comes with a 65” 4K LG tv and a Xbox one s. Amazing review mate.
There is ported boxes and sealed a shallow mount is a skinny subwoofer but great review I've been wanting one of these for about a month now and this review is good
I love my klipsch LcR (left center right channels) with altek lancing and Polk audio surrounds and marantz multimedia home theater receiver and crew in Vega subwoofer 7.1 surround sound 🤟
GREAT SYSTEM!!! What is the power output of the amplifier please? I am definitely considering getting one of these and replacing my floorstanders because I now have a corner desk setup and the floorstanders are too big haha!! Also I only need one channel because everything is online, music, tv, gaming, all the sound comes from the tv lol!!
So the system overall has 1000watts at peak power. RMS power is 500watts which is the main wattage you'll look at. All five satellite speakers give about 67watts each while the subwoofer itself pushes 165watts. Now since all the sound is going to come from a tv then i'd say for the best experience look at the back of the tv for an optical port and use that if you have one and you'll get the best sound response that this system can offer. if not a basic AUX cable to the TV will do the trick. Also just in case you wanna connect to the tv but not have an aux to play from your phone for example, there is a bluetooth module you can buy for 20bucks extra to solve that issue. hope this helps you out.
i bought them the day they where released for 280 euros. in the netherlands. great speakers still use them. good audio. My box is black btw. maybe its a new kind of box design dont know. but the speakers and everything are the same ofc
I have Z-5500 speakers 5 years ago, i think those are good speakers but i don't even know how much better is REAL home theater speakers. I bought JBL E80 floor speakers, same series center and surround speakers plus AudioPro Subfocus subwoofer and sony receiver (don't remember model number) and my audio experience changed totally. Only 350 investment with used system is not bad, and what a thunderous chest shaking bass come out the woofer. I think you not even know what is real whole home rattling 🤭 Those plastic boxes are useless. Now i have two SVS PB2000 subwoofers and my apartment almost collapse 😂
I've just ordered one of these to install in the boat I live on. My cabin is 13' x 8' so this probably going to lift the boat out of the water. I need it because of the digital inputs. Fortunately, my neighbours live a long way away. Don't know what my cats will have to say about it. PS: December 2020. I've bought it for 199 Euros from Amazon.
I live in the U.K. bought these from a music store that was closing down for £110, which is way less than the retail price, best buy ever for me. The sound is incredible wen watching movies, the kids love it
Don't max out the sub..It will blow away. I had a z625 which blew at 50% bass on a pretty good bass song. I thought it had protection but it has nothing. It will burn itself. The sound quality is excellent though. Specially for movies.
you probably had a defective unit and didnt break them in before using at a higher volume. i know people who broke them in first, and they used them almost every day at max volume for dubstep, trap, edm etc etc and they lasted for years. you gotta play the speakers at 25% volume for an hour or so when you first get them before turning up the volume.
Ok here comes question from a noob 1. What does level button do ? 2. What does the mute button do here? 3. When i use theese the input it is on 1 what if change? , can u connect pc / tv same time if, how? There is a Black, green and Orange on the Cable, i conneted all in to pc, what is the Black/ orange Cable for actually ? I guess i Only need the green to the pc, what Could i do with black & orange?
1) The Level button is to adjust the volume levels of the speaker. What i mean is that it will adjust the rear speakers volume to give more of a presence, you can raise how much bass you want etc. 2) The mute button will mute the entire system but not pause the music. 3) Yes you can connect to multiple different sources at the same time and change the input when needed. The Black Yellow and Green cable is mainly for computer sound cards if your computer has one. It's a 6-channel input for computer sound cards, but yes you can use just the green one and still get audio because the green one is just a general aux cable/input. But if your computer has all three, connect all three to get a better audio experience from your computer. Hope this helps you out.
@@spaceytropics ok i did connect all 3 in to the pc, good then i know :) i started to understand everything else after a while, and i now which cables i need for the TV now. Ty for answer me! Sub and like !
Their usually 299 in Canada 199 on sale I went for edifier s760 over this cause I had these and compared to edifier and it's a huge difference subwofer also is 10inches about has separate tweeters and mods for each speaker sound just so good and has Dolby sound try it
Is it a 4ohm speaker? I doubt I will swap mine any time soon. I have it set to about 50% volume and it is plenty loud for me. I do have a 6" Pyle sub that has a higher rms than the Logitech one. Might hook that to one of the channels some time just to see how it punches
good to have the same speakers. so i can listen to the songs on my own. sounds much better (obviously) in real life than on video. but anyway nice video. enjoy this system. great stuff
My personal opinion from many different systems I've owned 2 10 enclosed subs 1 vented 12 and a ported 4 inch sub. I've owned many other systems. And think the box makes a HUGE difference in the way the sound is produced
Nice review man, after watching this I feel like I'm already satisfied with my purchase. Should be here in a day or 2, but checked a review after buying it and feel comfortable
Someone is selling these for $150 and look to be in very good condition, the problem the seller is about 1 hour and 50 mins from me. Trying to decide if I should take the drive and pick them up.
well to be honest looks can sometimes be deceiving. It may look great but you don't know if the sub is blown or one of the speakers has gone bad etc. Unless you saw a video from the seller showing that everything works I wouldn't been to keen on going for it. But if they are good and a video or some proof that everything is working is given to you then by all means take that drive, getting this system for that price is nothing short of a steal!! Hope this helps you out.
Ah you must mean the Z506 yea i have 3, the z506, z623 and now the z906...trust me it might be a bit pricey but most definitely worth the investment, i hope you do enjoy them and thanks for watching.
Spacey Tropics my tweeters has 10 watts my mid speakers has 95 watts and my 15 inch subwoofer has 13 watts can my 10 watts defeat the logitech z906 speakers ?
Well by itself i'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 only due to the fact that it's a 2.1 system and the fact that I've been spoiled with the 5.1 of the Z906 lol. Really and truly for the price and what you get for speakers in that range the z623 would score a 9 from me if that's all I was comparing and not comparing it to the z906. hope this helps.
I am not knowledgeable in the area so I try to look around at videos to try to build some kind of perception about different sound systems. Am quite interested in buying this system as I previously had a loigtech z623 and thought it was good and as I understand it, this should be much more powerful ..? Either way, if you have the opportunity, feel free to mention a few examples of speakers that are as powerful as possible under $ 500, would have been appreciated! I'm really looking for a powerhouse that should have as much sound as possible, much like this system but several steps more powerful
First, I'd like to thank you for watching lol. Honestly speaking, the choice really comes down to you, if you're looking for true 5.1 surround sound then i'd say the z906 is more on the entry level end, producing great sound for the money, but with no HDMI port like modern systems you're stuck with using optical connections which although isn't a bad thing, doesn't give that super quality sound that one might look for. Now that doesn't mean to say go out and buy the most expensive thing you see, you should gauge it. How much is your budget, where do you want to put it and then work form there. As for the Z906, i recommend medium sized(10' x 12') to almost large sized bedrooms(12'-13'x14'-15') or a medium sized living room since living rooms are bigger than bedrooms. This is for sure a great system especially for a bedroom but if you have the budget then there might be something out there that cost a little more but might be exactly what you're looking for. Hope this helped you out a little.
Can see they changed the box since I got my set :) And no it does not support Dolby Atmos. But still awesome set of speakers if dont want a full amp setup
So I’m new to audio and I had a really big question, I want to get this for my bedroom which has an Xbox and a tv in it, would I need to get anything separate to connect the speakers to my tv? Or does it all come in this one package that’s basically plug and play?
So it really depends on what you’d like. If you want the speakers to be connected only to the Xbox then I believe the Xbox should have an optical port in the back and you can connect the optical cable which is included with the speakers to the xbox to get the best sound quality while you play. Now if you want it to be with the tv so you can use it after you’re done playing then you have a few options. 1) you can use an RCA connection in the back (red and white wire) to hook up from the 906 to the tv which gives decent sound, 2) you can use an AUX cable since most modern TVs have an Aux port which gives alright sound and 3) you can also hook up an optical cable to your tv if your tv supports an optical connection so that you can have the best sound quality the 906 can provide all the time. Most if not all the necessary cables should be included in the box unless you buy it used. Hope this helps and please feel free to ask more questions if you’re not sure.
@@spaceytropics I just bought the Z906 brand new and it only comes with a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary cable along with the speaker wire, there's no optical cable included.
Great review. I'm thinking of getting this myself but am a little concerned. I currently have a 1000 watt blu ray surround sound system, which is 9 years old now. I am decorating my room and need a smaller unit (as I have tall speakers) Do you think this would be suitable. I plan to connect it up to PC, Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and a minidisc and old cassette tape system. Do you think these speakers will sound good enough for all of that?
OK so the short answer is yes it can lol but here's how i see that happening. The Xbox and PS4 should have optical ports in the back and since the Z906 has 2 optical ports your set there, games and whatever else you use your consoles for will sound amazing. For the PC use a basic aux cable and you'll be plenty happy with the sound output from that. Finally for the tape system maybe an RCA to Aux cable (RCA on one end and AUX on the other) would be the best for that since getting a nice separation of sound from left and right channel speakers might go very well with old cassettes. I hope this helps you out and if any other questions come up feel free to ask and i'll answer to the best of my abilities. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry it took me so long to reply back to you. We were thinking the same thing, or rather that's how I had things set up with my current surround sound system. Only problem is one of the optical ports in the back has gone bad so I only have my Xbox One connected to the first optical port. PC is connected to the system via rca leads. As I have a creative sound card with rca in and out.
If I use this on 3D surround sound mode on a CZcams video will all the speakers play audio still or just the fronts? Not sure if this decoder will use speaker fill automatically to accommodate. My current 7.1 set up hardly ever has content that uses my rear or side speakers 🔊
If you use the 3D mode, the rear speakers will play but they will only play surrounding sound not actual vocals so like background noise of the scene in a movie (birds, trees, waves etc.). All five won't play the same thing at the same time. Only the 4.1 mode the rear will play the same as the front but you lose the center channel. On top of that the audio won't be as crisp only because a regular AUX cable can't pass the higher signals as an optical cable can for the rear to sound at it's max potential. Not too sure about the decoder but I believe the only way for that to work is with an optical connection as well so that Dolby Digital can be read through the decoder on the console. Hopefully this helps you out a bit.
@@djsahilking3807 yes bro.it is.. I had a wors with shokeepr abt it.. They said they know.the fix and will.help if that happns.. After the warrnty has expired.. Otherwise in warranty it'll get replaced right away..
Nice video thanks for your purchase advice regarding the price, but I got it yesterday at Saturn-Media germany for 179 € :))) Brand new course. For this price they sound even better: D
Yo dude, just received this today brand new from Amazon. Connected it up to my pc and did a sound test. My pc doesn't recognize that there is a centre speaker or rear left/right. But when I play music, there is some slight sound coming from these speakers. In 4.1 mode, the rear speakers work fully, however in 5.1 mode, the rear speakers only produce a quiet, distorted sound. Is this normal and meant to simulate an ambient/dynamic effect? Or should they sound the same as the front two speakers?
5.1 is meant to simulate a more 3D sound signature, that's the better option for watching movies as the rear channels take over all the surrounding sound while the center and front right and left take up full sound. 4.1 on the other hand is straight up dedicated for everything else, youtube videos, music, tv etc and it gives the best bass response overall. Your computer probably doesn't pick up the center channel because you might be using just an AUX cable and that really wouldn't portray much. Also the sound card on the motherboard of the computer must be for a basic 2.1 channel set up (only showing green,blue and pink connectors) vs some sound cards ranging from 5.1 to even 7.1 channels unless you know if you have a sound card that supports higher than 2.1 channels.That's where the black and yellow cables will come in so that a separation of sound is achieved. If your computer doesn't show anything else except for the one aux port then most likely its a 2.1 channel sound card and does not support 5.1. I hope this helps you out and thanks for watching.
Hi, Spacy. You speakers are not 1000W. They are only 500W. Because I looked at somebody's video the other day worked it out. He sent an email to Logitech asking Where is the other 500W? With the details and how he worked it out. But he never got a reply. Meaning Logitech lied about how much power the speakers can put out.
Yes it does as stated and shown in the video there are 2 optical ports in the back of the subwoofer along with a few other connections. It does decode sound as marked on the console that is used to turn the system on. Hope this helps out with your question, thanks for watching.
Yes, volume knob is at 25% and maybe a bit louder when my neighbors are gone. For the bass, I leave the knob at around 40% because 50% can be too much in some scenes of the movie.
@@vargaa86 also by default, bass is locked at 50% the knob clicks into place at that point. I guess that's what Logitech suggests is the optimal bass volume
I can relate with you, i saw this system back in 2012 when i was 11 and after i saw the price, i instantly thought i would never own this but after 7 years now.. finally bought this in january with my own money and its still 100% worth it in my eyes and would probably be the most expensive piece of gadget that i will own for many coming years..

I've been looking at the Creative Inspire T6160, but this one appears to have a headphone jack in the control unit that the Creative Inspire lacks.
Order a beelink GT king pro, same feeling.
Great review. It wasn't dumb to do measurements at all. A visual representation of size is what's always missing with these online purchases.
Thank you, and you're absolutely right, a true representation is lacking most of the time. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching.
logitech put the sizes on their web page. every site does that that sells electronics.

In your case if all you might have is putting it on top your wardrobe then here's what might happen to the sound especially if the wardrobe is higher than about lets say 3ft or so. The sound will come out as normal but you will hear it a little weird, meaning the bass won't seem as punchy as you think it should be and the sound will most likely bounce off walls in a way where you might not feel the full bass however there is always the chance that maybe if you place the port on the sub closer to a wall ontop your wardrobe then it's possible for it to still sound pretty decent. All in all buying a 5.1 channel system means you need to make sure your placement is right so that you enjoy the full range the speaker can give. I hope this was of some help to you and if you do have another question feel free to ask i'd be glad to share my answer with you.
Thank you VERY much. So I guess I'll just have to buy it first and then test for the optimal placement. That is ok, although my original plan was to first install all mounts, sockets, put the wires inside drywall, and only then bring the guest of honor, when everything is ready. But you helped to convince me it might be unwise. On a different note, I don't know if you need such things, but I already bought a bluetooth receiver tp-link HA100, which I think is a great thing. I'll connect it to the stereo RCA input (#2?) and I'll be able to conveniently play music from my laptop or smartphone. Also, I plan to buy a HDMI to toslink conveter to have surround sound from my laptop. And, since I may put the subwoofer/amplifier somewhere far from my desk, and I love using a knob to set the volume, I also checked out possibilities to extend the control cable. Random VGA cables will most probably not work, but I found a generic screened multi wire cable and some plugs, so I guess it'll be feasible to make an extension.
Me too! I wan't to buy this too bro.
I like your unboxing/review video. I'm sad about the views. :(
I have z5500 for more than 10 years now and still pumping. But I am also getting these soon. Thanks for the review.
I order mine today they are coming today i have waited six years to get this i am pumped.
So now that u have it, how is it man?? Is it worth the cash? I bet movies sound amazing
@@fro189 it is one beast of a system music movies youtube videos sound amazing everything is just pure awesomeness you can feel the pounding bass i am going to do a review soon i did a unboxing feel free to subscribe to me and join the PowerFamily i have made lots of videos.
I cant believe this is like Decade old model with no NEW MODEL since then ....BUT because of the BRAND & 5.1 SYSTEM , bought it for my new desktop computer i just ordered..i have 2 speakers & subwoofer model with my old computer for almost the 10 years & still works like charm , this is Just a BIG bang & boom & bought it for $400, is not f*n cheap
An easy upgrade is some quality speaker wire, 100ft of braided all-copper 16 gauge wire is really shockingly cheap and improves the sound noticeably. Even with really nice speakers the included wires are usually junk.
Super sound and no doubt at all, I like this brand and they give the best
They are junk and nothing they make is "the best".

I was using subtitles while watching this video because my speakers weren't working and then i finally got them to work and they blasted the music. 10/10 scared the shit out of me
I really wanted to get the z5500 setup but this seems way better to me
It's hard to find Z5500 but booooy i am happy with my Z5500. go with Z906 it's the next best thing after Z5500.
Thanks for your review it helps me to double confirm to buy, I wanted to have this system for almost 4 years tracking the price finally I get it today (black Friday) for 199.99 on amazon... amazing the lowest price I ever saw on this system.
I bought a Dolby Atmos Receiver and a 10" Subwoofer for $275 on black friday. That's a better deal IMO. Most games and movies are coming out with dolby atmos lol. You should've done more research.
I am still waiting for mine one to get. Hope, this will be the year. Fingers crossed
I am going to have this beauty delivered in 2 days. Bought the Bluetooth receiver as well :)) comes with a 65” 4K LG tv and a Xbox one s. Amazing review mate.
Does this support external bluetooth adapter
Faisal Sayyed yes it does. I use mine with a logitech bluetooth adapter. You an find it on Amazon.
@@Pionoo thanks for your response it's help me out
very good review, i enjoyed it. i am planning to buy these soon
I've had mine for 7 years paired with xonar stx sound card and sounds even better!
There is ported boxes and sealed a shallow mount is a skinny subwoofer but great review I've been wanting one of these for about a month now and this review is good
Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind words.
Recently bought this speakers, they have just arrived. I'm gonna test them I'm so excited
I love my klipsch LcR (left center right channels) with altek lancing and Polk audio surrounds and marantz multimedia home theater receiver and crew in Vega subwoofer
7.1 surround sound 🤟
lol you got a mix every system out there put together
These wired systems are Strong and made for long duration.. I will definitely buy this..right time to buy this n preserve the 'strong' technology
Great review man... I agree with you on the sale price. I just saw this system for $199.99 on prime day and went for it haha.
That's awesome you won't be disappointed and thank you for watching.
I got This exited when i got mine...such a wonderful unboxing experience...This right here is a hell of a system
GREAT SYSTEM!!! What is the power output of the amplifier please? I am definitely considering getting one of these and replacing my floorstanders because I now have a corner desk setup and the floorstanders are too big haha!! Also I only need one channel because everything is online, music, tv, gaming, all the sound comes from the tv lol!!
So the system overall has 1000watts at peak power. RMS power is 500watts which is the main wattage you'll look at. All five satellite speakers give about 67watts each while the subwoofer itself pushes 165watts. Now since all the sound is going to come from a tv then i'd say for the best experience look at the back of the tv for an optical port and use that if you have one and you'll get the best sound response that this system can offer. if not a basic AUX cable to the TV will do the trick. Also just in case you wanna connect to the tv but not have an aux to play from your phone for example, there is a bluetooth module you can buy for 20bucks extra to solve that issue. hope this helps you out.
@@spaceytropics Great thanks! :) I have never used optical so that might have to be my next move!
I really liked ur review and the music collection
Going to get this tonight
Awesome man and thank you for liking it, it really is quite the amazing set of speakers.
Great review and demo! Thanks so much!
set it up and play an movie for us 😂
Your excitement and review just sold Logitech another one . Good vid
i bought them the day they where released for 280 euros. in the netherlands. great speakers still use them. good audio. My box is black btw. maybe its a new kind of box design dont know. but the speakers and everything are the same ofc
Yea Logitech changed the box color recently to match the rest of their products that have the same color now.
@@spaceytropics thry might have even updated and changed some of the parts. The sub woofer does not contain the exact same logo.
Just bought it at the amazon prime days😀😀 cant wait!
I just got the same system. I love it. thanks.
How long are the speackers cables??
@@denisinvane2904 7.6 and 4.6 m
I have this as well and its is still the best 5.1ch in seen and the bass is grate as i am a bass head
Definitely worth it for bass? Is there no poppy noise if it goes too loud?
@@nickdee24 the only popping is the eardrums
The subwoofer driver size for the 906 is 8 inch. 623 is 7 inch😉
😉😉😉😉
nice review, one question: How long are the cables?
Thank you very much for the kind words. The longest cables go up to 25feet for the 2 rear and 15 to 20 feet for the front and center channels
I have Z-5500 speakers 5 years ago, i think those are good speakers but i don't even know how much better is REAL home theater speakers. I bought JBL E80 floor speakers, same series center and surround speakers plus AudioPro Subfocus subwoofer and sony receiver (don't remember model number) and my audio experience changed totally. Only 350 investment with used system is not bad, and what a thunderous chest shaking bass come out the woofer. I think you not even know what is real whole home rattling 🤭 Those plastic boxes are useless.
Now i have two SVS PB2000 subwoofers and my apartment almost collapse 😂
lol, dude. You're going to hurt yourself with that little knife.
I've just ordered one of these to install in the boat I live on. My cabin is 13' x 8' so this probably going to lift the boat out of the water. I need it because of the digital inputs. Fortunately, my neighbours live a long way away. Don't know what my cats will have to say about it.
PS: December 2020. I've bought it for 199 Euros from Amazon.
I live in the U.K. bought these from a music store that was closing down for £110, which is way less than the retail price, best buy ever for me. The sound is incredible wen watching movies, the kids love it
Managed to cop these for £158 Black Friday
Just recently brought it for £140 on amazon brand new waiting for its arrival !!
It’s amazing... like Jesus 😂
:)) irony is that if we don't have the same speakers or batter ones we cannot hear it like u do ! :))
Nice vid! Thinking about ordering a set!
Well you definitely can't go wrong with this set especially for the price lol, thanks for watching.
am considering getting this for the decoder but will use my current b&w 5.1 speakers ....my creative ddts100 going kaput after 20yrs 😢
Finally got it...sounds much better using my b&w mt50 speakers with it
Don't max out the sub..It will blow away. I had a z625 which blew at 50% bass on a pretty good bass song. I thought it had protection but it has nothing. It will burn itself. The sound quality is excellent though. Specially for movies.
you probably had a defective unit and didnt break them in before using at a higher volume. i know people who broke them in first, and they used them almost every day at max volume for dubstep, trap, edm etc etc and they lasted for years. you gotta play the speakers at 25% volume for an hour or so when you first get them before turning up the volume.
@@Squidwardsclarinet69 and how about the bass..at what perventage?
@@syafiqasyraf_yt honestly 50% would be fine
Great video mate! Just ordered these
Thank you very much and i know you'll enjoy them.
Ok here comes question from a noob
1. What does level button do ?
2. What does the mute button do here?
3. When i use theese the input it is on 1 what if change? , can u connect pc / tv same time if, how? There is a Black, green and Orange on the Cable, i conneted all in to pc, what is the Black/ orange Cable for actually ? I guess i Only need the green to the pc, what Could i do with black & orange?
1) The Level button is to adjust the volume levels of the speaker. What i mean is that it will adjust the rear speakers volume to give more of a presence, you can raise how much bass you want etc. 2) The mute button will mute the entire system but not pause the music. 3) Yes you can connect to multiple different sources at the same time and change the input when needed. The Black Yellow and Green cable is mainly for computer sound cards if your computer has one. It's a 6-channel input for computer sound cards, but yes you can use just the green one and still get audio because the green one is just a general aux cable/input. But if your computer has all three, connect all three to get a better audio experience from your computer. Hope this helps you out.
@@spaceytropics ok i did connect all 3 in to the pc, good then i know :) i started to understand everything else after a while, and i now which cables i need for the TV now. Ty for answer me! Sub and like !
Their usually 299 in Canada 199 on sale I went for edifier s760 over this cause I had these and compared to edifier and it's a huge difference subwofer also is 10inches about has separate tweeters and mods for each speaker sound just so good and has Dolby sound try it

yes I'm more than happy with it trust me it's a great buy as long as you get it for the right price.
I got it for 299@@spaceytropics
doubt it will be 199 any time soon
@@petmey5281 i got it for 200 eur lmao xD
i replaced the sub with a stronger one its hitting way louder and deeper now
Is it a 4ohm speaker? I doubt I will swap mine any time soon. I have it set to about 50% volume and it is plenty loud for me. I do have a 6" Pyle sub that has a higher rms than the Logitech one. Might hook that to one of the channels some time just to see how it punches
Yo dude, great review. Does the console let you control the bass volume?
Yes you can control each speaker and bass with console

Dude I just placed order for this system.
Well done. Well spend money

good to have the same speakers. so i can listen to the songs on my own. sounds much better (obviously) in real life than on video. but anyway nice video. enjoy this system. great stuff
how long did your set up last? i saw many reviews online saying it stopped working after months
Got mine today love them.
Yeah enclosed boxes make pressured pounchy bass, vented makes deeper bass, ported(this sub) deep but also punchy
My personal opinion from many different systems I've owned 2 10 enclosed subs 1 vented 12 and a ported 4 inch sub. I've owned many other systems. And think the box makes a HUGE difference in the way the sound is produced
I'm actually watching this review for a sneak peak of my new system for my room. For my new 50 inch TV...
Hope that sub bangs
Nice review man, after watching this I feel like I'm already satisfied with my purchase. Should be here in a day or 2, but checked a review after buying it and feel comfortable
❤❤❤
Hook up that with your stereo for full surround sound to computer.
The câmera shaking...priceless
Someone is selling these for $150 and look to be in very good condition, the problem the seller is about 1 hour and 50 mins from me. Trying to decide if I should take the drive and pick them up.
well to be honest looks can sometimes be deceiving. It may look great but you don't know if the sub is blown or one of the speakers has gone bad etc. Unless you saw a video from the seller showing that everything works I wouldn't been to keen on going for it. But if they are good and a video or some proof that everything is working is given to you then by all means take that drive, getting this system for that price is nothing short of a steal!! Hope this helps you out.
@@spaceytropics Took the drive, totally worth it. $150 used but look great and sound great.
That's awesome to hear. I'm happy you were able to find it used and in great condition as well. Enjoy that system to the max lol.
Nice video. Are you still enjoying your speakers?
Good video i can tell it sounds good.Im going to buy them tomorrow.I have the Logitech $75 5.1 and theyre awesome.
Ah you must mean the Z506 yea i have 3, the z506, z623 and now the z906...trust me it might be a bit pricey but most definitely worth the investment, i hope you do enjoy them and thanks for watching.
Spacey Tropics my tweeters has 10 watts my mid speakers has 95 watts and my 15 inch subwoofer has 13 watts can my 10 watts defeat the logitech z906 speakers ?
Finally got them for $200 .I knew they would go down a couple times a year.These things are awesome.The bass is no joke.
Well by itself i'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 only due to the fact that it's a 2.1 system and the fact that I've been spoiled with the 5.1 of the Z906 lol. Really and truly for the price and what you get for speakers in that range the z623 would score a 9 from me if that's all I was comparing and not comparing it to the z906. hope this helps.
I hope one day to be this excited over something so small.
I am not knowledgeable in the area so I try to look around at videos to try to build some kind of perception about different sound systems. Am quite interested in buying this system as I previously had a loigtech z623 and thought it was good and as I understand it, this should be much more powerful ..?
Either way, if you have the opportunity, feel free to mention a few examples of speakers that are as powerful as possible under $ 500, would have been appreciated!
I'm really looking for a powerhouse that should have as much sound as possible, much like this system but several steps more powerful
Killer UnBoxing.........
Thanks for viewing me the real z906 (The Monster)
It's no problem at all, and thank you for watching.
Logitech is always ahead
$180 now.. So yeah, the deal could be bettered
180? where was that?
Lol is it better than a sound bar. I got a Vizio 5.1.2 so I'm thinking about returning. I'm looking for a true 5.1 so I ran into ur video
First, I'd like to thank you for watching lol. Honestly speaking, the choice really comes down to you, if you're looking for true 5.1 surround sound then i'd say the z906 is more on the entry level end, producing great sound for the money, but with no HDMI port like modern systems you're stuck with using optical connections which although isn't a bad thing, doesn't give that super quality sound that one might look for. Now that doesn't mean to say go out and buy the most expensive thing you see, you should gauge it. How much is your budget, where do you want to put it and then work form there. As for the Z906, i recommend medium sized(10' x 12') to almost large sized bedrooms(12'-13'x14'-15') or a medium sized living room since living rooms are bigger than bedrooms. This is for sure a great system especially for a bedroom but if you have the budget then there might be something out there that cost a little more but might be exactly what you're looking for. Hope this helped you out a little.
#Bests pekers ever
Can see they changed the box since I got my set :) And no it does not support Dolby Atmos. But still awesome set of speakers if dont want a full amp setup
So I’m new to audio and I had a really big question, I want to get this for my bedroom which has an Xbox and a tv in it, would I need to get anything separate to connect the speakers to my tv? Or does it all come in this one package that’s basically plug and play?
So it really depends on what you’d like. If you want the speakers to be connected only to the Xbox then I believe the Xbox should have an optical port in the back and you can connect the optical cable which is included with the speakers to the xbox to get the best sound quality while you play. Now if you want it to be with the tv so you can use it after you’re done playing then you have a few options. 1) you can use an RCA connection in the back (red and white wire) to hook up from the 906 to the tv which gives decent sound, 2) you can use an AUX cable since most modern TVs have an Aux port which gives alright sound and 3) you can also hook up an optical cable to your tv if your tv supports an optical connection so that you can have the best sound quality the 906 can provide all the time. Most if not all the necessary cables should be included in the box unless you buy it used. Hope this helps and please feel free to ask more questions if you’re not sure.
Spacey Tropics ok thank you so much!
After your review I order Them and they come in Friday!
@@spaceytropics I just bought the Z906 brand new and it only comes with a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary cable along with the speaker wire, there's no optical cable included.
Your tvs optical port might not support surround, so you may have to buy an optical cable for your xbox as well.
Great review. I'm thinking of getting this myself but am a little concerned. I currently have a 1000 watt blu ray surround sound system, which is 9 years old now. I am decorating my room and need a smaller unit (as I have tall speakers) Do you think this would be suitable. I plan to connect it up to PC, Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and a minidisc and old cassette tape system. Do you think these speakers will sound good enough for all of that?
OK so the short answer is yes it can lol but here's how i see that happening. The Xbox and PS4 should have optical ports in the back and since the Z906 has 2 optical ports your set there, games and whatever else you use your consoles for will sound amazing. For the PC use a basic aux cable and you'll be plenty happy with the sound output from that. Finally for the tape system maybe an RCA to Aux cable (RCA on one end and AUX on the other) would be the best for that since getting a nice separation of sound from left and right channel speakers might go very well with old cassettes. I hope this helps you out and if any other questions come up feel free to ask and i'll answer to the best of my abilities. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry it took me so long to reply back to you. We were thinking the same thing, or rather that's how I had things set up with my current surround sound system. Only problem is one of the optical ports in the back has gone bad so I only have my Xbox One connected to the first optical port. PC is connected to the system via rca leads. As I have a creative sound card with rca in and out.
Over 500 Watts it Turns off in Most cases
those which you assumed as AUX are not AUX but analog input for 5.1 channel
great video! can u make more on this speaker?
Yes i can make more but what exactly would you like to see about this system?
a video where you have this set up and a review
Can you do a tutorial for the montage please?
If I use this on 3D surround sound mode on a CZcams video will all the speakers play audio still or just the fronts?
Not sure if this decoder will use speaker fill automatically to accommodate.
My current 7.1 set up hardly ever has content that uses my rear or side speakers 🔊
If you use the 3D mode, the rear speakers will play but they will only play surrounding sound not actual vocals so like background noise of the scene in a movie (birds, trees, waves etc.). All five won't play the same thing at the same time. Only the 4.1 mode the rear will play the same as the front but you lose the center channel. On top of that the audio won't be as crisp only because a regular AUX cable can't pass the higher signals as an optical cable can for the rear to sound at it's max potential. Not too sure about the decoder but I believe the only way for that to work is with an optical connection as well so that Dolby Digital can be read through the decoder on the console. Hopefully this helps you out a bit.

Great review
Great video thanks
Yo dude, just received this today brand new from Amazon. Connected it up to my pc and did a sound test. My pc doesn't recognize that there is a centre speaker or rear left/right. But when I play music, there is some slight sound coming from these speakers. In 4.1 mode, the rear speakers work fully, however in 5.1 mode, the rear speakers only produce a quiet, distorted sound. Is this normal and meant to simulate an ambient/dynamic effect? Or should they sound the same as the front two speakers?
5.1 is meant to simulate a more 3D sound signature, that's the better option for watching movies as the rear channels take over all the surrounding sound while the center and front right and left take up full sound. 4.1 on the other hand is straight up dedicated for everything else, youtube videos, music, tv etc and it gives the best bass response overall. Your computer probably doesn't pick up the center channel because you might be using just an AUX cable and that really wouldn't portray much. Also the sound card on the motherboard of the computer must be for a basic 2.1 channel set up (only showing green,blue and pink connectors) vs some sound cards ranging from 5.1 to even 7.1 channels unless you know if you have a sound card that supports higher than 2.1 channels.That's where the black and yellow cables will come in so that a separation of sound is achieved. If your computer doesn't show anything else except for the one aux port then most likely its a 2.1 channel sound card and does not support 5.1. I hope this helps you out and thanks for watching.
Super sound very nice
Hi, Spacy. You speakers are not 1000W. They are only 500W. Because I looked at somebody's video the other day worked it out. He sent an email to Logitech asking Where is the other 500W? With the details and how he worked it out. But he never got a reply. Meaning Logitech lied about how much power the speakers can put out.
Can I use it to my led TV..? Does it have optical input..? Does it decode digital sound.? Reply please.. thanks
Yes it does as stated and shown in the video there are 2 optical ports in the back of the subwoofer along with a few other connections. It does decode sound as marked on the console that is used to turn the system on. Hope this helps out with your question, thanks for watching.
I have Z623. I only listen at 25% (50% bass) volume because I'm in an apartment building.
Can you change bass settings which does not fuck up the neighbours? I live in an apartment as well. thanks
Yes, volume knob is at 25% and maybe a bit louder when my neighbors are gone. For the bass, I leave the knob at around 40% because 50% can be too much in some scenes of the movie.
@@vargaa86 also by default, bass is locked at 50% the knob clicks into place at that point. I guess that's what Logitech suggests is the optimal bass volume
@@LordVoldore what does "locked" means? You can change it even to a higher level with different settings? Anyway I already ordered this speaker
