Most speakers sound best when you're directly in front of them. This is fine when you're gaming or listening to music, but less ideal when you have guests. Logitech's Z523 2.1 speakers have two speakers in each satellite - one facing forward and one back - to project sound round the room.

We never expected speakers this cheap-okay, inexpensive-to sound this good.

Excellent sound; Great bass output; Inputs for three stereo sources; Attractive; Strong price/performance ratio

Hard-wired cables; Harsh highs nearing full volume; Plastic satellite cabinets; Won't fill a large room

they're very easy to setup, didn't need a guide. they look nice and sleek. the 360 degree speakers work very well but when you go behind them it gets a little weird sounding but not that bad. the subwoofer is very good, you can hear it from far away. the box is a good size.

Nothing, i repeat, NOTHING comes even close to these speakers in this price range. The price/performance ratio is astonishing. The sub gives thumping bass, while the satellites are crisp and clear. The balance is awesome. I would completley recommend these.

Great Sound, Easy Setup, Good Value. I'm really happy with with the Logitech Z523 Speaker System. If you don't need true surround, the Z523 is a great choice.

Harnessing the power of deep bass, without spoiling the sound with distortion has always been one of Logitech's strengths-in its more expensive speaker sets, that is. In the company's lower-priced options, however, like the $99.99 (direct) Z523 2.1 PC speaker system, a common problem emerges: It's...

Multi-directional speakers fill a room with sound; Three inputs; Powerful subwoofer; Adjustable bass level

Speakers can sound a bit too bright, and occasionally tinny; Cables are hard-wired, can't be replaced without repair; No remote control

Fantastic Speakers Bass is great Games Sound Amazing and it also has auxiliary input at the back of sub so perfect for connecting to you console Overall Brilliant Highly Recommended

Logitech's Z523 Speaker system is one of four models in the company's 2009-2010 PC-speaker line that features a separate subwoofer. Though the Z523 carries a list price of $99, it sells online for $79, which makes it quite affordable--and a relatively good value.

While it won't blow you away with its sound quality, if you're looking for an affordable PC speaker-plus-subwoofer system, the Z523 is one of the best speaker systems in its price class.

Good sound for the money; strong bass; good connectivity options; volume and bass controls.

Though its sound quality doesn't eclipse more expensive PC speakers; the Logitech Z523 is one of the best speaker-plus-subwoofer systems in its price class.
