Customer Reviews

Just what i was looking for
in the past i have gone threw many subwoofers and have never found anything like this, everything is so loud and i realy and trully love the bass of this item, it shakes my whole house, i have never put this product up more then boost 2 and just on boost two i couldnt hear anything around me so i reackon i will someday put the logitech z5500 to the test and put it up to boost 11. i extremely recomend this to everyone dont beleive the stuff that people say that it breaks after two weeks and the fuse explodes because i have had this system for nearly a month now and its perfectly fine.

WOOW These Speakers Will Blow Your Mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Logitech Z5500 Digital PC Multimedia Home Theatre Speaker System - 505 Watt (Total)

These speakers are brilliant extremely loud an when you turn it up full volume if u keep turning the nob one-half turn (180 degrees) then the LCD screen will show boost 1, then your in boost mode and you will not be dissapointed!!

The bass from these speakers is just crazy! they shake the whole house. I surggest anybody with a ps3 buys a optical cable for the there sound to run through the differnce is insane, i will be upgrading my sound card for my pc very soon

Dont think about buying this product just go for it!

Long term owner
I bought these speakers back in October 2006. I just came back to review them as I feel I owe them this!

I was actually reminded to do this as the other day the time delay fuse blew for the first time, when the power was resupplied after the house's switch tripping.
This isn't really a problem though as you can get 10 fuses from Maplins for 2.69.

The other comment is that a few months ago the control pod stopped working intermittently, so I contacted Logitech and they replaced the set very quickly. Wow, great service!

One thing to note is that the control Pod can sometimes crash, but this is rare and fixes itself quickly.

So I love my z5500s, the sound quality is incredible when connected to PS3 via optical, and PC via Coax for stereo/DD and 6 channel for games.

Now I just have to remember to moderate the volume (and turn the sub right down!!) so that I don't get any more letters from the people next door in the terrace! Can't wait to move to a detatched house :)

Thank you Logitech.
