    I also bought this system in the Advent calendar for Fr. 289.

    Watch out and measure your table first if you want to put the subwoofer under the table! :D
    I got a nasty surprise and had to move my room so that I could
    put this monster of a subwoofer somewhere :P

    The sound is great, especially at low volume levels, and stays clear up to the upper limit (although I've never really tested it --> ear damage).

    The cables to the individual satellites are quite long, just designed for a living room.

    I haven't had any problems with the control console yet, but it's annoying (to me) that the display always lights up --> put a mouse pad over it when watching films and it's fine.

    I have connected the system optically to the PC.

    You notice a big difference when you compare an .mp3 and an .flac file :D
    So the system has led to a lot of internet traffic.

    Logitech has hit the bull's eye when it comes to sound systems!
    After more than a year of "testing", I am still more than satisfied.
    The system is convincing in every respect, whether it's music, games or films.

    I never
    had problems like the hum of the subwoofer.
    So for me, it's simply a tip to buy when it comes to a new 5.1 sound system ;)

    Absolutely awesome system for 445.- (incl. shipping). I don't have any noise or bass box hum. I run the speakers through a SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum.

    Absolutely recommendable

    Attention: no spare parts!!!
    The control unit is defective after 2.5 years. But you can't buy a replacement from Logitech. So you can throw the whole unit in the rubbish.

    Hello everyone, I didn't get the system from digitec but from a private dealer. Well, in any case, the system is great I've been using it myself for almost 3 years and it's still running and the sound is great I use it mainly for gaming and listening to music. Whereby it should be mentioned that I have only the control element and the subwoofer gakauft and no original boxes Angeschlossen have one notices but no difference (I in any case) I am very happy to have bought the system and especially that it "still" works without problems, LED s I have also connected to the subwoofer also runs with it without problems. So if you still have the chance to buy the part, don't think twice, just buy it!

    First of all: Great system! Not only "loud" but 1A quality!
    I had a Z-5500 for 6 years until it unfortunately broke (condenser burnt out). I have now bought the second Z-5500. Why? Because it's simply great! :)

    System simply ingenious!

    Unfortunately, the backlighting of the control pad has suddenly broken. I didn't use the whole system for about 6 weeks because I was rebuilding it. Today I put everything back into operation,
    but unfortunately I also noticed that the display on the control pad no longer lights up.

    Does anyone know what I should/can do to make it light up again?

    I have had the system for several years now and it always inspires me anew!!! Simply amazing.

    I know the problem with the display backlight.
    I have had the control panel replaced several times by Logitech.

    My solution
    to the problem:
    You must not disconnect the system from the power supply.
    Unfortunately, the red light must always be on.
    Because the current peaks that occur when the system is connected to the mains
    destroy the components in the display.

    I have had the system for 5 years. And I am very satisfied! Until recently, I never had any problems and could connect everything I wanted.

    A fortnight ago I had a power failure, which resulted in a humming noise on all
    chinch channels. (Toslink still works) All the tricks you can google didn't help! The overvoltage in the mains caused me permanent damage.

    So I looked for help on the Logitech page and found it in the online support chat! Logitech couldn't tell me a trick to make the hum go away, but they sent me a new Control Pad within 3 working days! FREE OF CHARGE!

    I doubt that other companies offer such a service! 1A Logitech! Customer satisfaction is very important to you!

    Product: Flawless!
    Logitech Service: Ingenious!

    After another 2 years, I am still completely satisfied.
    Even the light still works, although it still flickers a bit. But it no longer goes out completely ^^

    I'm thinking about buying it again as a replacement if the
    first one does go out. And who knows how long it will be produced.

    This sound system is worth every franc for people who want to feel and hear the bass. I find the system with 505 watts RMS top and recommend it to everyone!

    Overall conclusion after 3 years. This system is simply top-notch. However, you have to accept that the display light will eventually give up the ghost.
    Important: The system sounds even better with a sound card.
    Creative
    Fatality Pro (or whatever it's called) is simply brilliant.
    (This makes the system much better in terms of sound quality).

    Be sure to compare prices beforehand. I'm sure you can get them from time to time for 300Fr.
    I find the newer model a little worse in terms of operation and therefore I would go for this one.

    These things are the Brutal HAMMER!!!!

    I bought them back then for 300.
    I have to say, the bass really tops everything....

    Everything in my room starts to vibrate when I play House/Electro or anything else (at full
    volume of course)...

    But watch out: these things are so loud and have such a big BOOM that my neighbours come to me after 30 seconds.

    These things are a must for every electro/house/jumpstyle/hardstyle/hiphop listener!
    listener a must!

    I've had them for 3/4 of a year now.
    They still work 1A class.

    Conclusion: Top speakers, I couldn't imagine anything better.

    Buy recommendation high 10!

    At that time (about three years ago), I paid just over 300 Swiss francs and must say that this investment was absolutely worth it. The system is connected to my media PC in the living room and offers a fantastic sound experience with appropriate films, considering the comparatively low price. Music also sounds great. For me, a purchase recommendation.

    I bought the speakers about a year ago and have had a very good experience so far. Only the 3.5mm clinch plug for headphones scratches quite a bit when plugged in.
    But the sound quality, even at very high volume, is just

    I bought it some time ago. I wanted to connect the device with SPDIF. No matter what you do with the sound codec, the set does not work. No matter which driver and sound software you use, no pips come out of the boxes. Not possible although it should be compatible with it!
    I was completely disappointed! However, the quality can't be beaten and the sound is very noble (connected to XBOX 360).

    Well, I gave it back.

    I have been the proud owner of this system for about 3 months now. It has almost too much power for my small room. Even when I'm not filming or listening to music at the highest level, I'm very happy with it.

    I have never
    had any problems with the control panel. I was initially afraid that I would also have problems like those described below, but so far I have not had any...

    I can only recommend it, but it is simply too powerful for rooms with a maximum of 10 square metres...

    Why no standby mode?
    It works wonderfully for me.

    @areacccp
    To compare a Teufel home cinema system with a PC system..is almost........egal
    Especially
    the difference in size where the resonance is immediately noticeable.
    Depending on the sound card that is installed, the sound also has a corresponding effect.....just for information.

    I have a Teufel system in my living room. But I am very enthusiastic about this PC system. I can't detect any weaknesses in the mid-range or high-frequency range. Sorry

    Maybe just adjust the equalizer ;)....

    I would immediately recommend this to anyone who likes to gamble loudly or just wants to turn up the music on the PC. (Thrust without end for such a system...

    You should not compare apples and oranges here.

    Logitech Z-5500 Surround System, unfortunately without stand-by mode which I find a pity! So it can only be switched off via a power strip or on the subwoofer itself (not necessarily very accessible at the rear connections). More info about it on the net.

    The system is certainly not bad for PC games and films, but it is by no means the case that the satellites sound "good", a lot of detail is lost in the mid- and high-range. I had this system for 5 years and have now changed to a Teufel system 5 THX Select 2. In terms of sound, they are worlds apart ;)
    There are speakers from Logitech for 79 fr that sound better than these satellite speakers, e.g. Logitech Z-323. But if you want something sensible, you should spend a little more if you really want good sound. The systems from Nubert and Teufel are quite good in terms of price / performance.
    If you have too much money, you can also stock up on Dynaudio *g
