Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The treble is slightly lacking; there is a rolloff above 16khz. The midrange on the other hand is not lacking at all - i think people who say this don't understand what frequency range qualifies as midrange. For those who are willing to dedicate the t... Read More

The satellites actually have quite a bit of sparkle. The subwoofer is extremely powerful. Speakers are mountable and swivel as many other reviews state.

Cons

The 5500 subwoofer is huge and cumbersome. The full midrange is driven almost entirely through the sub so there's no clean bass and no clean mid. Sure the duff duff of the bass is neat but honestly it will wear pretty thin as there is very little midr... Read More

I know it said this item was unavailable for returns but come on. Now it seems everyone is jacking the price, before christmas is the reason perhaps? But i have one major caveat for anyone reading this and considering purchasing the z-5500's. Regardle... Read More

At high volumes (75%) satellites sound distorted. The speaker console displays a weird error message and then powers off after about 15 seconds. The control pod goes bad and then the speakers will only out put low frequencies.

Quality

Excellent build quality and over a decade of use in gaming and music and they still impress people.

About a month ago a two of the terminals in the back of the sub-woofer stopped putting out any signal and two of the 5 speakers... Read More

Hook up the z-5500 satellites to a dedicated a/v receiver and hear for yourself - i can guarantee you all the missing details i... Read More

Price

Well worth the price even know if you want the best.

Best computer speakers for under 700$ ever made.

Now there for $1800 here, if you get a chance to buy them used at a good price jump on it!

I paid the equivalent of $250 those days.

Shipping

Buy this product and delivery was fast.

But once it arrived and i had listened to it the first time, i was glad i didn't cancel.

Competitiveness

They rival my friends' and family's $1000+ home theater systems.

This system has outstanding sound rivaling many htib systems.

Unfortunately, logitech made the dumbest decision ever to stop production on the z5500's and come out with a smaller, less powe... Read More

Namely, logitech used some cheap components that's really bad for signal processing.
