Customer Reviews

Major Fault on Z5500 model
I got this product based primary on all the good reviews i'd read, but what most of the reviews leave out is the fact once you switch it on you can't switch it off without the fuse blowing. I've tried surge protectors as recommended by a few people, but they don't make any difference. If any one has bought this product they will know you need to keep a couple of spare 2amp fuses ready for the sub woofer unit.
On the plus side the sound really is quite good, my only gripe would be that the sub woofer does cause a bit of a rattle in the room, so unless you have everything in the room tied down tight the rattle will reduce the sound quality.

1 of the best!
Logitech Z5500 Digital PC Multimedia Home Theatre Speaker System - 505 Watt (Total)

Got them today setup was about 20 minutes it would be faster if my wife didnt make me hide all the cables;)

I've watched STAR WARS III and WOW mindblowing!!
Played MGS 4 and holy**** music is clean and loud!

So it is the best you can buy for less then £200

Clear sound central speaker is exelent!

Bass is nice and deep as hell

Surround is WOW!!

Just buy them that is all i can say

...WOW...

7.5/10 sound but sub woofer rattles! + amazon is very unhelpful
typical.. 101 fantastic reviews of this product but the first time i turned it up loud my sub started rattling which is bloody irratating, since i mainly use the system for drum & BASS music! The sattellites are not overly impressive considering they are not that samll. HOWEVER this is not my main point.. When i told amazon about this, they said no problem, we'll send another, just send the other back. happy days. but not as their estimated dispatch date was up to 2 months later!! Ridiculous.., After a scathing email I'm now getting a refund instead and will buy a different system i think, more than anything just fancy a change.
