Great Speakers
By J. Powell
Firstly I got these as a replacement for a Logitech Z5500 that had a control pod failure. So I have owned and used both systems. Now if you currently have a Z5500 and are thinking that these would be an upgrade, they are not and you should not get these. To go from the Z5500 to the Z906 is pointless unless you have to. They both have similar stats and both sound roughly the same.If you are looking to upgrade to a new set of 5.1 speakers, these are an excellent choice. The satellites sound exactly the same as Z5500. Crisp and clear. Very fluid and a warm sound. Also can get very very loud. They also made them much easier to wall mount by just having a bolt hole in the back of it which is an industry standard. They have removed the cloth covers that the Z5500 had but that is just a personal taste thing.Now when it comes to the sub-woofer, here is where the difference comes into play. The Z5500 has a 10 inch sub, the Z906, an 8 inch sub. You would think that this would cause the system to suffer compared to the Z5500 however this is not the case. The sub-woofer on the Z906 seems to have more of a bass punch to it then the Z5500. While at high volumes however, the Z906 obviously falls prone to being a smaller sub-woofer then Z5500. On bass test tracks it can bottom out or become "farty" before the Z5500 does. So in a sense, it cannot shake up the house/room as much as the Z5500. It still CAN shake up the room and cause things to move however, this still is a powerful sub woofer and sounds better then any PC sub woofer out there. But the plus of this system is the punch it gives at normal listening volume. Another plus is the actual size of the sub woofer box. It is almost half the size of the Z5500. Makes putting the sub and also moving it much easier. Through design they have kept the great sound of the sub woofer and greatly shrunk the size of it.The control pod also is redesigned for the better. Its much smaller, doesn't have a bright LCD screen on it that can be distracting, and doesn't heat up like the Z5500. Another note is that changing the effect mode of the system is much quicker then the Z5500. It happens instantly, the Z5500 would take about 1 full second to change the effect mode.The downsides of the system are as follows. The remote control feels really cheap. The buttons have this plastic "clicky" sound/feel when you press a button. Another is having all the inputs on the sub woofer instead of the control pod. Which means you have to have all your devices within roughly 4 feet of the sub woofer. This was probably changed due to the failure of the control pods but its just a minor complaint.This is an awesome sound system and overall is slightly better then the Z5500 which was already an awesome system. Don't listen to all the people who bought this set expecting to be way better then the Z5500. This is meant to just be newer design. It isn't meant to out perform or out class the Z5500 at all. Worth it if you can get it under $350.

Manufacturing Problems
By Geno
I purchased this product to replace the Logitech Z5500, which had served well. Unfortunately, the Z906 had a number of flaws that makes this a "no-buy" review.1. The quality of sound coming from the (500w!) system was markedly lower than the Z5500 -- particularly from the subwoofer, which is about 30% smaller than with the older system. While apparently good enough to be "THX-certified," nevertheless when connected to a PC with the same (new) soundcard, the bass was less powerful and tinny,and the front channel speakers, even after adjustment, had a thin sound quality.2. More importantly, the control unit was a dud. After about 1-2 minutes of playing, the unit would turn itself off and no audio would play. The unit had to be manually turned off and on (accompanied by a loud crackle) to restore the sound, which would then go off again 1-2 minutes later. When calling Logitech support, they advised me to reset the unit (by powering the control unit down, and then pressing the input button for 8 seconds). This restored the sound for a slightly longer time (4 minutes) and then the unit again shut itself off. When I called Logitech Support again, they admitted this new product must have some manufacturing defect and they could not troubleshoot. They advised me to return the product to the retailer, which I have done through Amazon's easy return system.When I checked the Logitech forums, I realized that several others (in the US, in Germany) reported the same problem with the Z906. For Logitech's flagship audio product, this unit was a disappointing downgrade from the solidity, ease-of-use, and better sound quality of the Z5500. If anyone has a recommendation for a replacement system (particularly a non-Logitech system) for use at a PC, let me know.

By open24hours
Key Feature: the Logitech Z906 speaker system controller has a standard headphone mini jack on the right side. When we plug-in head phones, the system switches-off external speakers. The volume nob will then control sound level to the headphones. I use a 9 foot extension cord for the headphones (for those late-night action movies when everyone else in the house is asleep).I was hesitant about getting this system until I read in another review that we can plug-in headphones.The sub-woofer delivers rich deep sound, which we can hear and feel in games and movies. But you can turn-it down for apartments. The Logitech controller has a selector for separate volume adjustment (up or down) on each part of the 5.1 system. The high-range speakers are crisp.I am very pleased with these speakers and I do shop carefully for high quality sound. Although the discriminating high-end audiophile probably would not be satisfied (yet) with the Logitech speaker system. (Maybe we will see powered speakers to meet high end audio rivals in future.)What I love about the Logitech powered speakers is, we no longer need the receiver. We just plug into the television and simply use the relatively small speaker control box for volume adjustment (including adjustments to individual parts of the 5.1 surround).Our Logitech Z906 speakers are connected to a Sony Bravia 46-inch LCD HD television with a single optical cable. All our home theater devices (Apple TV, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, cable television DVR) are connected directly to the television, not the speakers. We use the television as the device input selector.I was very happy to replace our big heavy Yamaha receiver and Bose speakers with the Logitech powered speakers. Sound from the Yamaha / Bose combination was beautiful, but it was only a stereo system, not surround sound. And it was time to move-on to a simpler set-up with fewer wires. Since televisions are no longer just the video monitor and we now use it as the device selector, we no longer need an external "stereo receiver" to switch input devices. I don't know why powered speakers still have not hit main stream. I still see most speaker systems requiring a receiver to power them. For me the receiver is an extra box not needed and the Logitech 5.1 speaker system proves it - big time!
