Logitech Z533 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System with Subwoofer, Powerful Sound, 120 Watts Peak Power, Booming Bass, 3.5mm Audio and RCA Inputs, UK Plug, PC/PS4/Xbox/TV/Smartphone/Tablet/Music Player

Excellent, so pleased with the speakers, they are very loud and no distortion when turned up. The puk for controlling the volume and base located nicely on my desk. Great sound for games, movies etc, just plug and play into my windows 11 pc. Would highly recommend.

Awesome speakers. Strong wires and construction.

As a product, it has good sounds, etc., but delivery was late 4 days when I paid extra for the next day

After spending countless hours researching and looking at the best 2.1 speakers I could ideally buy for under £100 I found myself deciding between these and the Trust Tytan 2.1 Bluetooth speakers. Although I knew the Tytan's had a lower frequency response (supposedly 45Hz as opposed to the Z533's 55Hz), my research suggested that the Logitechs performed better in reciprocating the mids and highs. Even though bass is a significant aspect of my preferred music genres (Rap, Grime, R&B etc.) I still wanted the most balanced sound across the board so I opted for these.I previously owned Logitech LS21's which had a RMS of only 7W so I knew the Z533's were going to provide a whole new dimension to my music. While unboxing the speakers I was glad to feel that both the subwoofer and satellites had a decent weight to them (4kg and 525g x2 respectively) which is always reassuring. Setting up the speakers was very straightforward, anyone with any experience with PC speakers likely wont need the instructions but for anyone who does, the instructions on the box are clear and easy to follow.After turning on the speakers and playing some music from a variety of sources (FLAC, MP3s & Spotify Premium) I was immediately impressed by the sound quality delivered. I'll admit I'm no audiophile but I still possess a desire to hear my music with as much clarity as possible (within my budget). The Z533's easily fill my university dorm room with clear, balanced sound at half volume. Even when pushing it to the max volume on the control pod and at the music source there is no distortion. The bass response from the subwoofer is punchy and satisfying, even at half capacity which is where I usually leave it to avoid annoying my flatmates and people living below me too much haha. Whilst I am completely satisfied with my Z533's, If you have a large room or desire a great deal of bass I'd still recommend you opt for the Z623's or the Z901's for 5.1 surround and THX certification.My main con with this system so far (and with most Logitech speakers) is the that the cable from the control pod to the subwoofer is non-removable. This can hinder your ability to setup the speakers in the exact location you may desire. It also means that if that cable becomes damaged, you'll have to go out and get an entirely new subwoofer. Bluetooth connectivity would have also been handy with this system, although this can be achieved through buying a bluetooth audio adapter separately (I know, more money...).I hope my review has been helpful! I have also included a few pictures of the system and size comparisons next to my LS 21 subwoofer and satellites. If like me, you have been researching into a good 2.1 system, I can tell you look no further. :)**Edit: January 2017** The Z533's are still going strong with absolutely no problems, I am still completely satisfied with my purchase. Using EQ software has allowed me to fine tune the sound stage to my liking. I have however since bought the Logitech Bluetooth adapter which functions perfectly with the speakers, allowing me to be more mobile with my devices while experiencing no noticeable loss in audio quality as opposed to wired listening.

Had issues from the first instant. there was a lag of between 30 seconds and sometimes 15/20 minutes before the sound came on. I explored it with Logitech tech on 2 separate occasions as the first suggestions didn't work. they couldn't solve the issue. they replaced the speaker set, but the same thing happened. I went back to Logitech and they implied that it was an issue with my new-ish dell laptop. I spent 2-3 hours with dell tech. they explored everything, only to find that it is a KNOWN ISSUE THAT LOGITECH ARE FULLY AWARE OF! yet they allowed me to waste my time

Whenever I buy things off amazon I always read the good and bad reviews just to get a balance.But I felt compelled to right a review based on the bad ones.A woman claimed the sub woofer was so sharp she was in danger of cutting herself, if the woman was 3 years old I might have given it some thought.Another person moaned about the hardwiring and if it broke it would cost too much money to fix, come on firstly the hardwiring is really well made nice and thick and who gets a pair of £89 speakers fixed? if they are not under warranty just get a new set for gods sake.This one was funny, the volume control is so sensitive it goes up and down with a slight knock, I have might secured safely on my desk using double sided tape in an area where the volume control does not in any way get disturbed.Ok now that sillyness is out the way heres my opinion.I have bought 2.1 speakers for 20 years now and the best I have had so far was the logitech Z230 but they are not made anymore sadly, so my choice was narrowed down to the Z533 or the Z623.What drew me to the Z533 was the multiple audio inputs, I wanted to hook up my echo dot to them as well as my computer which is much better than using a Y splitter as you lose no sound quality.The sub woofer is nicely made as well, yes it is hard wired but the quality of workmanship is excellent, the size is nice as well not to bulky also it has a fixed grill on it so if you keep the sub under the desk accidently kicking it will not damaged the cone.The 2 desk speakers are surprisingly small for the sound they produce and have no problem filling a standard size room with loud sound.I actually love the volume control, its like a hockey puck with a bass adjustment lever on it and a headphone jack and a 3.5mm input socket.For the price these speakers have surpassed my expectations.Any reasonable person will be extremely happy with these speakers so don't let the negative reviews put you off.

But I have to say these speakers are really loud! Even on low settings with the bass on medium. You can really feel the bass, it is room filling sound and of an excellent crisp quality. Hopefully I have not annoyed my Neighbours yet (I live in a flat), have had full volume for a moments and its like a music festival level LOUD! The volume control can easily reduced or increased, but if you knock it... it goes really quiet or loud immediately!I would recommend this as a music and gaming sound system of quality, but be careful with the volume/bass controller! :D

Ok for the price had better needs more base.
