Finally a decent, well made video for this product! You covered every aspect, thanks for all the effort man, you deserve more subs.
Xavier Andres I KNOW! It’s so in depth!
Do these with a flat screen tv audio built in the red and white Inputs
This video does not cover every aspect. He does not mention that the speakers are always switching off after a short period of silence and have a miserable sound quality. And they don't save the settings. After switching them on, you have to change the settings again.
@@tomdriver6733 yeah and on top of that he doesn't mention that it's not true surround sound unless you have a special soundcard in your computer. It's just a stereo in lots of peices.
I agree a great video.
But if you would just reply to his fans.
Lots of people don't like to reply to their fans or audience
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning czcams.com/users/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I’m very happy with mine. Received it today 5/29/21, Ordered two more RCA to 3.5mm jacks for the True surround sound. Overall, this system is much louder on my PC then Bluetooth.
Bro, if I order that extra cables, how can I connect all the 3 3.5mm jacks to my Tv?
@@Elmeromero19 From PC, not TV.
Where to connect in pc? My pc doesn’t have RCA cable slots
I bought this here in finland, europe ... on a hunch, and i must say i am pleasantly surprised - one of my first tests i always do is turn it up loud to see if i can provoke distortions.
(i built hearing aids for a living and nothing annoys an audio-professional more than distortions)
It has a clean, powerful sound with very little distortions. It sucks that my sony TV does not offer the outputs for surround sound for normal mortals - but it still beats anything i had before.
(The rich and influential who wipe their arses with dollarbills would be able to rely on optical connectors and a high class audio system )
Were you able to test the surround sound? How's the surround sound experience? Does it work with Dolby DTS?
@@md.tanvirarafin5291 Maybe not these, look at the z623's.
How come you have so few suscribers!!?? The video quality, the audio and the script is great!
Thanks for the review
This is what i call a good buyers guide, now i know everything i wanted to know. So thank you very much for that!
Logitech didn't made this. They just gave a Chinese company to do a brafing for an already running product. The same specs and look model is available in f&d which came in 2017. Logitech is really playing a chepe game. I can tell this cause I worked in an speaker outlet in Nehruplace, New Delhi India. The model from this was copied from is F&D F3800X .
Should i buy this logitech product??? Plz suggest me best speaker under 12000 rupees
@@abdullaharefin9100 dude 5 years ago, this better be discounted after many years
Is it true 5.1 surround sound already? Or should i enhance it with sound card to activate true 5.1 surround sound?
I've had these for a yr now. It's just too good. 160w and bluetooth. The woofer could have been better but we can sort that out with sound adjustments on tv or phone. If you got the money, just freaking buy it. It connectes to my tv the moment i turn on the tv too. It's just brilliant! 😅
How is it so cheap? can it get really loud
Seems solid for $130
From the video, it shows that the controls are in the subwoofer. Subwoofers go on the floor. Does it mean that each time I want to switch from bluetooth, I have to reach down to change it? I imagine that remote control also allows the switch?
Great video.
yes i think i will buy this, thanks for the review!
So how are some of you actually connecting this system to get true 5.1? It only has analog connections right? Does your computer have that many outputs? Or your tv?
This is the magic question???
Please let me know if you’ve found the solution. I’m assuming it’s an adapter?!?! I don’t have enough ports either. Driving me crazy
Is that so hard to put a damm optical digital in ? 5.1 set without a optical digital ? Come Logitech what´s wrong with u ?
Seriously!
I blew out my Z5450 subwoofer...I'll just by a new (used) one.
I would replace fm radio for an optical port
His voice sounds like Joshua Vergara from Android authority.
Beautiful video, maked with very good taste.
And the best review so far.
Suck they ditched the optical and coax inputs from the Z506, seems silly to do that. They'll probably follow it up with a $150 Z706 with both...
Yes downside no optical and coax 🤦
z506 dont have optical and coax
What's the point of this thing? Brand new LG TV doesn't have RCA, it has HDMI and Optical (Toslink).
I don't get it. What were they thinking?
A brand new LG TV probably has Bluetooth
Hello.
Nice review, I wonder if these speakers support bluetooth. Could I connect them via bluetooth to my Samsung QLED TV (which supports bluetooth) ? Perhaps even watch 5.1 movies like that? ( if I play a movie from my USB stick, which would have to be 4k blueray movie )
hang on,.. they market it as a surround sound stereo but you have to buy extra cables to make it like that?
But it IS lol
@@ClavinZKL you still have to buy the cables
@@sgeggbub1008 but it is surround lol
@@ClavinZKL YES but you need to buy extra cables for it,.. or its not true surround sound its just stereo multiplied,.. i got this as a replacement for my z213,.. it is much better but nothing to rave about
@@sgeggbub1008 ye
I wait the "next Z623".
Why wait 🤔😁😳
Whats the difference between the z607 and the z606?
Love your simple pc setup.
Shouldn't it be Z607?
I was looking here and the z607 is identical to the z606. But the 606 doens't has FM and SD-Card support. Must be a cheaper version.
@@felipesb2 Com esse nome vc é brasileiro ...rs Talvez possa me ajudar com ma dúvida, será que consigo conectar a z607 ao bluetooth de uma tv por exemplo ? Desde já agradeço.
@@emilianofialho9742 Cara. Acho que da, partindo da TV a conexão. Tenho um z607 aqui, mas minha TV não tem BlueTooth pra testar.
Agora de antemão, via BT o sistema vai funcionar em stereo. Conectei ao bluetooth do PC, e é identificado como "fone de ouvido Logi z607 stereo". No smartphone a mesma coisa.
Ai as caixinhas frontal direita, e traseira direita vão emitir o mesmo som, as esquerdas vão emitir o outro canal de som. O subwoofer vai emitir os graves e a caixa central mistura os dois canais stereo.
Vale mais a pena utilizar os cabos RCA do subwoofer pra TV. Aqui eu conectei as entradas RCA todas no PC ai ficou em 5.1 mesmo.
@@felipesb2 É exatamente dessa forma que farei, partindo da conexão da TV. Sobre os cabos RCA, eles não perderiam qualidade em comparação ao bluetooth? Tipo deixar de ser 5.1 pra virar 2.1. Sobre o grave " o panch do subwofer é bom, da uma termidinha ?
@@emilianofialho9742 O som bluetooth sofre compactação para realizar a transmissão, provavelmente tem perda de qualidade aí já. Ele faz isso pq tem um valor máximo em MB/s pra transmitir (igual internet). Por esse motivo tmb é que ele não passa os 5.1 canais, senão ele ia ficar com delay alto entre a fonte e os speakers. Provavelmente ele passa até 192kpbs de som em 2 canais via bluetooth.
O RCA não vai compactar o som, e nem limitar a banda assim, o que pode acontecer é que os cabos não sejam de qualidade boa e não tenham uma boa isolação ai apareçam ruído.
No kit de cabos que vem junto do aparelho vem 3 pares de RCA-RCA (pra ligar em TVs/DVDs), e veio 1 par RCA -> P2 Stereo (pra por no PC). Ai eu comprei mais 2 pares P2 stereo pra conectar no PC em 5.1. Comprei da "santo angelo", que é uma das melhores marcas nacionais. Acho que foi 20 reais cada par. O cabo que veio junto do aparelho é nitidamente mais fraco que os da Santo Angelo, mas não notei ruídos nem perda de qualidade nas caixas que ele está conectado.
Quanto ao subwoofer, primeira coisa a se destacar é que apesar de ter 160W, esse valor é de pico, na vdd esse sistema é 80Wrms. Então não tem como ser muito forte. Porém vem um regulador de volume que deixa você aumentar individualmente o volume das caixas um pouco. Eu coloquei o sub no maximo e tmb usei equalizador no PC pra dar um boost nos graves. Ficou show, da pra sentir a pancada.
Testei as frequências com um video no youtube que ia de 1hz até 100hz, tremeu até algo no teto do apartamento, acho que era alguma coisa do vizinho de cima pulando no chão de leve kkkkkkkk. Até agora a única desvantagem mesmo que vi é ele não entrar em standby sozinho. Se o cara esquecer dele ligado, fica o dia lá consumindo.
Why does this "feel" cheaper than the Z506 which is quite a sturdy system that packs a mean punch. On this one even the connections for the speakers look cheap as compared to 506 with actual jack. Does it have bass gain on the sub?
I am looking for speakers to put in each corner of my ceiling in my room for music (and maybe games if that isn’t dumb) do you think these are a good idea? I watched the review but want a confirmation...from anyone
I'm looking for the same thing xD
BashDOTA haha awesome, i want them to work with my govee rgb-ic lights on music mode
@@Doki_Dokers did you get them yet I found this video for the same reasons 😂
@@ihaveawaifu2595 unfortunately I didn’t and haven’t found any alternatives to this.
im still happy with my 10 year old z5500
Yep, can't believe mines still going from 2010.
I use optical to connect to my bluray player, and obviously it's connected to my pc.
i have that, the sound produce is superb! im using it for my computer supported 5.1 motherboard and ps4 :)
please tell or show what wires you used for center sub channel?
@@louieregalado938 how do you connect to ps4 through the speakers?
It is z607 in my country
What is the difference between this and the z607?
Can I connect to amazon firestick as blutooth audio to receive 5.1 Audio ?
Thanks i think I'll get this im looking to upgrade my game room.
It's on sale right now for $89 if you're still interested :)
Great Review!! Thank you. You deserve more subs :)
Can you make it to where all of the speakers play the same sound? I want this for my barber shop since it’s pretty big and filled with different rooms where I could place each of the speakers in different rooms and each one plays the same audio
Hey man, did you ever get a surround system for your barbershop? If so which one did you go with? I’m looking for a surround system for my barbershop at the moment. Thanks
@@naibafml Have you considered hooking it up with Google speakers? You can make a "group" of speakers and tell Spotify or CZcams to cast the audio to all at once. I can show you if you want too. It does require wifi though and it will have the assistant built in..
Thanks for the detailed info. However, not sure why speaker is not working for the tv but is for Bluetooth etc. Would be much appreciated for your help.
Excellent. To the point.
What's so hard for them to make the centre channel a bit different?
I just Ordered it hope I enjoy it
How is the bass... Can u tell mee plzz.. Can i use it for extreme music???
excellent video, just subscribed
i don't understand. If i use that 3.5mm cable connected at TV it will work all 5 boxes or just 2 from front?
It will work with all of them, it will be 2.1, i mean, you can change it to "5.1" but its emulated
@@MrQuequito what do you mean when you say emulated?
@@gerardgalofre363 well, if you connect your source of sound via the RCA inputs in the back, the sound will only be stereo, it will not be true surround, then, on the little menu the z607 has, you can choose between "2.1" and "5.1". If 2.1 is selected, the system will then send sound only to the front speakers and mute the rear ones, however, if 5.1 is selected, all speakers will produce sound, but it will be emulated via software to make it sound more "surround" and "5.1 ish", because in reality, your input is just stereo (2.1)
True surround 5.1 sound can only be achieved by connecting all of the 3 RCA inputs on the back, those inputs come from HD audio, nowadays the more common form you will see are 3 jacks (where you can buy a Y splitter), like the ones on the back of a motherboard with HD audio (google that if you have trouble)
But TL:DR, if you connect it via the RCA the sound can only be stereo, which the system can make it _sound like 5.1_ (by choosing 5.1 in the menu)
I hope i made it clear, btw, i just bought it and installed this system, like many people say, if you expect ultra sound, this is not for you, but if you want something cheap that sounds way better than your average tv or laptop, and you are not a snob about audio, then this is the way to go, it has clesr audio all the way to the max volume, which is nice
@@MrQuequito thanks for your help. Very detailed information. I'm sure it will become useful.
I am waiting for my order to arrive. Hopefully, tomorrow I got the package.
@@gerardgalofre363 your welcome! I hope it arrives well and you dont have any problems :D enjoy it!
Oh, i forgot, if you want to connect it to a tv, but your tv does not have any RCA outputs, but it does have a digital audio/toslink/SPDIF output (the little square with a little gate) you can buy a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), this DAC can convert your sound from the "Digital audio" output of your TV to RCA or "HD audio", which is 5.1 and can be plugged into the other inputs on the back of the z607, so you can have real 5.1 (; just google "dac 5.1 sound converter" and you will see plenty of them, the 5.1 are the ones with 6 outputs, the 2.1 are the ones with just RCA
Would this work on a viewsonic projector?
Would you happen to know when this will be available to purchase?
Walmart
Idk but my mom is getting this
Is it worth replacing the old, still working great one Z506 with this? o.0
Man, I don't think so.
The z506 has 75W-RMS versus 80W-RMS from the z606 or z607. You'll only get more 5W of sound power.
I think you won't notice the difference, neither if you gonna use it in the maximum volume
I have heard both. The 506 downfire sub sounds a lot better...A LOT
Was it Joshua Vergara doing the review?
It seem sense the Z-5500 Logitech has taken a huge step back, if your looking for some high quality sound the Z- 606 isn’t the way to go…
Hi, good video but I've doubt. If I connect my SmartTV by bluetooth the output sound isn't real 5.1, right? What does this means?. Could I hear how the sound is distributed through the 5 speakers?. Thank you!
Better than a Sound Bar? uses standard speaker wire? So I could use another speaker for the center speaker for example?
Hi is the 5.1 sound support also via Bluetooth or only with the cables on de back.
Good question, I don't know what they means when they say "5.1 emulate"
Are the rear speakers wireless? So no cables trawling around the room?
no!
so rca to 3.5mm then into pc right?
good bass??
How good is the bass of the sub tho, is it good enough to have a party with? I would love a home theater system, but often hold back as Id like something that can offer both enjoyment of a home cinema but also a solid system to enjoy music on.
I got this and it can get loud. Bass is very good, and it is possible to hook up to a tv
@@g8ate49 How to connect to the TV
In your opinion does it bother you that you can’t adjust the sub?
There is a 607 version which has radio too.
Can you use mounts to put the satellite speakers on the wall?
Una pregunta es que me compre unos pero en un remate encontré dos parlantes más será que puedo conectar los dos parlantes extras en una misma salida
Alv yo creo que no, aunque en teoría sí se podría 🤣 mejor no lo hagas porque puedes quemar la fuente
No se bro, según a mi experiencia ajajajja, puedes quemar las salidas o hasta el amplificador.
When you set the setting for front, rear ect. If you turn it off and turn back on it will automatically reset back to zero. And back to bluetooth it doesn't set where you left off of your settings. Why is that?
3:15 what do you mean you need two more RCA cable to setup true surround sound? Doesn't it come with 3 RCA cables?
I know this is late but can I connect them to my tv via bluetooth and have all speakers work? I dont care about it being accurate surround sound i just want all the speakers to work
Is it good for classic music on youtube?
Technically could of connected to xbox over 3.5mm.. use the headphone jack on monitor or tv
Bluetooth compatible to 5.1? To smart tv? My smart tv have Bluetooth
How does regular music play on 5.1 system? Do front and rear speakers produce the same type of sound? And how does the 5th speaker act like?
center plays in mono, rear and frong play stereo
That's right. But what about if I play 5.1 sound? Does it sound 5.1 using bluetooth way? Thanks
Can i control subwoofer gain? Thx
Yes
I need all 3 RCA cables to use all 5 speakers via Bluetooth with my phone?
how can it be for gaming when it doesnt have an optical audio out?
Yes it does
The bad thing is that it has no optical input.
Can you direct me to how I would get 5.1 threw the AV input you said you would need a total of 3 how or where do you connect this to get true 5.1 thanks
los altavoces traseros se escuchan alto? porque de normal se escuchan muy poquito
what does the back look like? can it be mounted with bracket mounts for satellite speakers?
Superb!
Does it emulates 5.1 when using bluetooth with a cel phone or TV?
I also wish to know the answer to this :)
I’m slightly confused. Could you please if possible explain if I wanted to put the speakers in different rooms connecting to Bluetooth for it to playgoer example the same song on all 5 speakers but of course as I said in 5 different rooms, will it play? Does it need wires connecting? Thank you
You need to set up wired connection between a subwoofer and the speakers. Once you have it done, you can connect your devices to the whole system with BT. The speakers themselves aren't wireless.
Does this model have separate volume adjuster for bass and treble? How is the bass effect?
How do you get real surround sound from rca? Wouldnt the rears have the exact same sound coming out if each side?
You need a digital to analog decoder to get real surround from rca connection.
Cool review, but you didn't answer the most important question: how long the battery of each speaker lasts and how much time they need to charge. You just connected everything with cabels, but it suppose to be bluetooth speaker system, so... there is nothing about that in the review 🙃
the speakers are wired... the BT its to connect your mobile phone using bluetooth...
Even though it is cheaper. Its a very bad price to performance set. I would recomend the Z906. Its much more powerful and much better quality. I have it, and its really good. I can feel the bass shaking my clothes. The Z906 is the best option.
Sorry what is the RCA? Is it just the red and white port in the TV?
Is it good for classical music play on youtube?
So how should I connect to enjoy true 5.1? right now I have it connected via bluetooth
Is this a good option if I use it for Bluetooth music from phone?
Can you also just use this to listen to music on your phone?
Yes
Can you use it for tv.? I use my tv usually to play PS4 and netflix
XBOX ONE? a 3.5mm to RCA connected between remote control and subwoofer wouldnt work? also what about an optical audio (on back of xbox) to rca convertor?
Do you need an external sound card to connect 5.1 to pc? My mobo doesnt have enough slots imo.
explain why there is wires if its bluetooth???
Does it have a bass and trible buttons to control the sound quality plz give an answer
Do they make wireless surround sound speakers for pc?
would this work for listening music as in having each of the speakers in each corner of the room
How many rca cables are required to connect it to the tv?
I can connect this to a tv?
How did you connect 3 RCA cables to pc?
So I run everything off my ps4 connected to my tv via hdmi. What ports would my tv then have to have to get true surround sound?
Can I get a real 5.1 sound connecting the TV via Bluetooth?
I'm trying to find out the answer of this same question :/
Does anybody know how to prevent this surround system to go to sleep mode ? Just bought it last week and it is very annoying .
I bought this a few days ago to go with a new TV, I only have the option to connect to the Aux on the sub but it cuts out after 20 mins which apparently is "Stand by mode" designed to save power, any clue as to how to get around this? Any help greatly appreciated.
I cant conect the speakers in 5.1 surround to my tv. It works only in 2.1...tv us brand new LG nano cell 2020...can someone help?
BT supports both 2.1 and 5.1?
What is the cost of this speakers?
I connected the true 5.1 and it doesn't work well, bass sound is skipped for some reason, it just works with true 5.1 test audios....Any idea? :(
