Logitech Z623 400 Watt Home Speaker System, 2.1 Speaker System - Black

Tonight, I got a scare -- these speakers, which I've loved for the short time I've had them (i.e., since mid October), sounded tinny and thin. I checked the connections. I rebooted the computer. Still tinny. Then, it occurred to me (my mind must be slowing down) that no speaker problem would speed up the music. Aha! It was my Enounce program -- a program that lets you listen to audio at up to 3 times its normal speed. I had it set for 2X normal speed after listening to a tutorial by a drawling presenter. I set it back to 1X the recorded speed and, voila!, the music was back. So, since I had found myself more than willing to write a damning review of the longevity of these speakers, I felt it only fair to write a review of just how good they are. So, that's why I'm adding yet another 5-star review of these things. What's not to love. Their sound is outstanding. You can set the bass levels to where you want them -- and the bass is not that terrible boomy stuff of boom boxes and miserably made speakers. It is, rather, crisp and unobtrusive. The mid-range is clear. And, for all my aged ears can still discern, the highs are there. (Alas, when younger, my hearing test for the Air Force had my hearing right up there with dogs. Well, not quite. I couldn't hear a dog whistle. But, I could hear the highest tones that the hearing test provided making my line slightly above the chart. Now, I know, some of the higher frequencies are lost on me.) Volume is no problem. While those who are deaf and those who aspire to become deaf may not find the higher volumes sufficient, most who would rather hear music rather than test their pain tolerances should be quite happy with these. Could they be better? Well, perhaps I might welcome both: a) left-right balance controls and b) a remote. The former can be handled by software that's already on your computer if you go hunting for it. The latter is for those who build up a heckuva lot of static electricity while sitting on a cold winter's night. I'd rather discharge it on the remote than risk zapping the speakers. That age thing, alluded to already you may have noticed, might at any time get me to forgetting to discharge any built-up charge on the case of the computer instead. You could spend a lot more and do a lot worse (sorry Bose). But, why? My musical preferences: jazz, classical, some folk, and a handful of individuals who fall into none of these categories. So, if you're interested in hard rock or the alleged thoughts of rap "artists," you may well want to move onto another review. With computer speakers, it has been my experience that few last for all that long. But, these do appear to be made well. So, I'm optimistic that they will continue to perform well for some time to come. ========================================================================== Unrelated tip: That Enounce program is a freebie and well worth installing if you take courses or listen to tutorials or simply want to race through ads that won't allow you to skip them. It does a good job of speeding things up without making the voices sound like Mickey Mouse after he inhales helium. ========================================================================= Another unrelated tip from John Templeton (a legendary investor): The fastest way to double your wealth is to double your gratitude. Without gratitude, there is no possible perception of wealth.

To preface, I am an audiophile and have spent countless years at my father’s recording studio hearing some of the best studio monitors out there. I am by no means comparing computer/home theater speakers to the likeness of a pair of $6,000 Genelec studio monitors, but I have high regards for these Logitech speakers. To be honest, I bought these speakers alongside a monitor for my PC not expecting much other than knowing that for a fact they will at least be better than the speakers found in my TV, which I was using as a monitor for the longest time. When I received them, I quickly set them up and played some music from my phone. I was simply blown away at the sound quality that these speakers put out even when they were not properly setup in terms of placement. Once the speakers were properly setup, I was even more amazed. I eventually cranked up the volume somewhere around three-quarters of the way and was even more surprised that these speakers were not distorting. Ever since I set them up, I have been using them not on my PC but on my Macbook Pro nonstop and have even been able to turn off my EQ in iTunes as I feel these speakers reproduced the sound more accurately. Keep in mind that my review is based on many variables such as the size of my room, placement of the speakers, etc. But, I have found that with these speakers you need to turn up the bass knob (for me I turned it in between 1 and 2 O’Clock) to achieve a smooth low frequency response and a more overall “fuller” sound. When setting up the speakers, I recommend referencing the picture I included for placement and using a song that you know well and setting the volume to your normal listening volume and then modifying the bass knob to your satisfaction. I would like to stress that placement is one of the biggest factors for how your system will sound. Regardless, I find that these speakers are absolutely worth the money. I have used them to listen to music, to play movies, and other miscellaneous audio related tasks on my computer. There is no doubt that these speakers are THX Certified because it felt like pretty close to being in a movie theater when it came to movies that made adequate use of the subwoofer. I am even contemplating getting another pair to replace the Bose Cinemate GS Series II that is on the TV in my living room as I feel that this system is better than the Bose. I can only find one con when it comes to this system and that is if it were to be used for on a TV, which Logitech says it can be used for, there is no remote for changing the volume or shutting the unit off. Using it on a TV could lead to having to change volume by hand as most TVs have a fixed audio output not a variable one. To be fair, this is a minor fault considering that this system is more of a system for the computer than for the TV. Nonetheless, don’t hesitate buying this unit. For the price, I have yet to find anything that can beat it let alone one that is comparable.

If the speaker goes into standby, it needs to be turned off and the again on, or you won't get any sound, even if you start for example Youtube.

Las bocinas integradas de la mayoría de las televisiones por lo general suenan muy X. Aunque las bocinas internas de mi TV LG C1 suenan decentes agregando unas bocinas decentes o soundbar harán un mundo de diferencia. Comparto mi opinión acerca de estas bocinas para todo aquel que tenga pensado adquirirlas. Las bocinas vienen con un cable de auxiliar de 3.5mm para conectarlo a tu TV o PC y un cable óptico para conexiones a consolas que tengan esa entrada, TVs y PCs también con esa entrada. En el caso de mi TV estaré utilizando el cable óptico. En la TV lo único que necesité hacer fue cambiar la salida de audio de bocinas internas a las bocinas externas (las Logitech Z625) para que la TV arroje el audio a las bocinas. En la bocina frontal derecha viene la perilla para controlar el volumen de las bocinas, una segunda perilla para regular el nivel de bajos del subwoofer y un botón para apagar/encender las bocinas. NO tiene control remoto y por lo tanto para regular el volumen es necesario hacerlo con la perilla. Si utilizarás estas bocinas para tu PC este detalle no será molesto ya que la perilla estará al alcance de tu mano pero si las utilizarás con una TV tendrás que ajustar el volumen manualmente. No tiene salida HDMI para conectarlo a la TV y por lo tanto no es posible controlar el volumen con el control de la TV. Se puede utilizar un adaptador de Bluetooth y de esa forma si se puede controlar el volumen de manera remota, pero la calidad de audio disminuyó bastante al utilizar un adaptador Bluetooth y mejor prefiero enlazar las bocinas a mi tele por medio del cable óptico. Ambas bocinas frontales son pesadas para su tamaño y no fácilmente se podrán caer o mover. El subwoofer es enorme y bastante pesado jeje. En general el peso de las bocinas te dará una sensación de que adquiriste un producto de calidad. En cuanto a su desempeño pues…ahhh que puedo decir; ¡suenan fantásticas! A los amantes de las explosiones con bajos les encantará tener estas bocinas. Yo las tengo en mi cuarto de tamaño mediano posicionadas a un metro de retirado de las paredes cerca de una esquina. A pesar de que los bajos suenan fuertes e impresionantes, los sonidos agudos/altos suenan bastante claros y definidos. Para las películas suenan impresionantes así como para videojuegos. En mi PS5 suenan de maravilla con el sonido 3D para bocinas externas y llenan mi cuarto de sonido muy bien definido. En la mayoría de los casos tengo el nivel de volumen entre un 20-40% y el nivel de bajos al 50-60% y en mi caso esos niveles son más que suficientes. No suelo escuchar música en mi TV pero las pocas veces que lo he hecho en mi celular si tengo que ajustar un poco los niveles de sonido en la aplicación de Spotify para obtener resultados que me agraden. Ahora, decidí comprar estas bocinas en vez de un soundbar por 2 motivos: el primero es por la calidad de sonido que ofrece un soundbar dentro del rango de precio de estas bocinas. Segundo por la relación de costo calidad. Por 3 mil pesos no podrás conseguir un soundbar con la calidad de sonido que se compare al que tienen estas bocinas. Claro que un soundbar vendrá con un control remoto y con más opciones de conectividad pero prefiero mil veces la potencia y calidad de sonido que estas bocinas brindan. Recomiendo las bocinas para espacios pequeños a medianos y como una alternativa ampliamente superior a un soundbar de costo similar. Gracias por haber leído mi opinión, espero y le haya ayudado de algo a alguien.

Overall Best value for money and best sound , slightly less on features, but still give it full marks -as does main job as speakers excellently. I have used three speakers thus far 1.Fenda 330 bt= 56 watts RMS= Bluetooth , Bass control, but no USB or memory-awesome value for money n cheapest.Failed on one IC being out switched 2 to 1 Audio in. Great buy still on reliance digital for rs 1999.Nothing can beat this young beast in terms for value for money. Though its a discontinued model. 2.Logitech Z-623 =200 wats RMS, simply mind blowing, THX Certified , lovely bass at low volumes , unbeatable price at rs 9000 from cloud tail-amazon...Go blindly , if your budget is for up to 10000. Nothing in the market at that price comes closer to it at the moment. Sadly no bluetooth, USB Connection , only Aux. But best music in market at that price. No doubts. looks like an model soon to be outdated , hence selling below at MRP Price of rs 16455. The build quality of speakers is rich premium feel-awesome 3.LG OM4560- After I bought Logitech Z-623 above , a week back , wanted another speaker in lieu of my ailing Fenda model above. I am neither a music buff , nor a techie , but an ex guitarist and a layman , who like s all kinds of music and appreciates good speakers. This speaker sounded good and was advertised as 220 watts RMS at chroma wrongly , where I went in to listen it. Plus the reviews on Amazon India n flipkart. LG has come a long way indeed. this is a small boombox and good for a 260 sq feet room but music wise way below bass on logitech Z-623 above. The areas where it scores is , Bluetooth,USB, One single unit compared to other 2.1 channels , beautiful led changing lightings , n mike of ahuja make , which came along with it from a local store -which gave the best price at rs 14350...Online the price is expensive. better buy from a local dealer who is cheaper than online and vijay sales, chroma , sargam etc..The things which go against this is -not a party speaker n low on bass compared to above and may be others in that price range. And a hefty price tag at 14350. Is it value for money ???? I have some doubts , but my kids aged 20 and 22 , do like modern day features , like blue tooth , n mike , hence a keeper. 4. Tried sony sa-d100 4.1 channel speakers-100 RMS (rs 8490-loca store) and Fenda F& d 3800 fx 5.1 channel with 80 RMS and reliance digital Reconnect electra at reliance show room. While Sony is good at rs 8500 in Reliance digital , F&D is value for money. Reconnect is okay on bass and VFM but doubt on after sale service and parts , hence out of equation. I have listened to many sets in showroom and read a lot of reviews , as am a guy who researches on his electronic toys before buying..In terms of ranking , here it goes.. 1.Logitech z623-undisputed champion on bass and clarity -THX certified-Old model though, but nothing beats it..especially for party occasions. 2.Number two LG OM 4560 -If money no problem , as host of good features and remember is a single carry on unit. LG's FH2 Model is an alternative with equally good sound and can be carried as with built in trolley n has rechargeable battery too.This is not a party speaker , good for room sizes up to 250 sq feet , but definitely behind logitech above. 3.F& D comes third , though best value for money , but is a chinese company and we normally would avoid a chinese product these days , though they offer good variety in lots of 2.1 and 5.1 channel speakers. 4. Would avoid Sony- least good looking and very costly after sale maintenance. Sony has taken Indian market for a ride ...and penalised Indians for loyalty , not shown else where in world. The parts are expensive , services charges are exorbitant. stay away from a sony product , unless you are a diehard sony fan..My best wishes then. 5. Where to buy-Amazon and flipkart offer good choices and reviews , with Amazon slightly better on prices compared to flipkart in terms of prices and questions answered , no where on any other e-commerce website. where to listen the speakers personally- Croma,Vijay sales,Sargam -for live performance , but not to be bought from these big retail chains as too many overheads and will not bargain. Best to buy from local exclusive brand stores , unless its a lighting deal from amazon or flipkart. Hope you enjoyed my fair review and have no interest in any brand and wrote basis experience.Thanks for your time.
