Matrix settings; easy access volume controls for centre, subwoofer and surround speakers; speaker and microphone mute buttons; price
Slightly muddy bass, colour The Final Word Gamers will love these speakers, even if audio aficionados dont. The G51 may not outclass the rest, but they deliver some bang for your buck.

Abstract: The new Logitech G51 speakers may provide 360-degree surround sound to games and music, but will this PC speaker system turn out to be a small wonder or a big blunder? There are a lot of people who spend a lot of money just to have that perfect ‘gam...
In the end, when all is said and done, we ended up with two minuses. One is short cables and the other is modes. If your room is smaller first minus won’t be a problem for you. But, the second reproach will. “Matrix” and “Music&rdq...

Subwoofer crossover seems to be set too high
Cables are permanently attached to speakers
Z5500 is just $60 more, and so much better
