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

These speakers just arrived today and I'm so happy with them. It, as expected, blows all the other cheap Bluetooth speakers and tower speakers that I've previously owned out of the water.The sub is fairly large and hefty but still compact enough in the small space between my monitor and my wall, but boy does that thing kick hard, currently listening on ~50% volume and my keyboard is shaking. From an audiophile's point of view it might not be the clearest or crispest sub in the world but it more than does the job I wanted - Loud hard kicks that shake the walls.The two satellite speakers are really nice both in sound and looks. In fact, the satellites are the main reason I don't crank the volume up full as they could do some serious damage to your ears if you're sat close to them and playing something with sharp high-hats or something similar in pitch - But this is essentially still a positive!The volume control knob is really nice, very intuitive and looks great.As some others have mentioned some of the cables are a little messy and unsightly, but I just bundle them all behind my monitor so it doesn't really bother me. The high-pitched noise is present, but is very easy to solve so doesn't detract at all from the product for me.As a final point, I'm not sure if this is even possible but these might be too loud? I'm scared to turn the volume to 100% because it hurts, my room is only small and I honestly cannot cope with it above about 75%! I bought these to use on my PC for games, music and movies, but also to use in the kitchen for parties or drinks with friends and this is more than suitable, the kitchen is only small and I feel like this would blow out the windows when max volume!All in all a great product, definitely a good buy for the price too (£75) I would wholeheartedly recommend this if you've got the money!

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.

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
