@ Vincent Leupold yeah, definitely!!! but they are much more expensive (150 $ usually, however just now on their site that price is lowered to 99$ and if you can find them for 100 bucks, dont think a second, just buy them!!! also z523 are quite good but only if you find good price... now z623 are 200W!!! while 523 and 333 are only 40 watts, so it's completely different level... also 623 are thx certified
I spent big money on speakers 20 years ago. Guess what, I've enjoyed them for 20 years. Unlike every other component of my PC that needs to be upgraded every few years, speakers never become obsolete.

Let's continue that train of thought. How much money do you spend on the rest of your system? How much money on just the graphics cards and monitors? How long can use that hardware? 3-4 years for the graphics card? I bet a few years from now that 4k HDR monitor will look appealing, 8 years from now maybe an OLED monitor? Now think about how long you can use good speakers and a good soundcard or DAC + amp? All of the sudden it doesn't look like a bad investment compared to the other investements in hardware, does it? ;) I strongly recommend investing in nice headphones, you will like it. Avoid the gamingbrands (Razer, Steelseries, Corsair, Logitech...) for the headphones, choose for a brand which has been making headphones for decades: Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamics, AKG... or if you are an American (more expensive in Europe and we've got excellent brands too) Grado or Sure.

First time watching one of your videos. Seriously man, I love how thorough and enthusiastic you are. Good to hear a review with someone who knows what they're on about. Buying the Z333's now for my PC :)
I have these on my sons machine, they are good for the money, personally I use a Yamaha SR 301 and sound bar and it's awesome but much more money so horses for courses.
I just purchased these Z333 Logitech speakers and could not find any info on their SPL ratings. That is a measure of the efficiency of the speaker. 1 watt at 1 meter from the speaker and the measurement is in decibels. The higher the decibels the more efficient the speaker which translates into less watts needed to drive the speaker. Generally, anything above 95 to 100 is very good!
The Z906 looks pretty cool for a small home theater setup. The big advantage of it over the Z506 is the fact that it has optical inputs, that way you can hook up a game console or a bluray player to it. Also, I really like how it doesn't have a massive amplifier like a conventional surround sound setup does. My current surround sound setup is pretty bulky and takes up a lot of precious shelf space in my media center. It's way too big for my small bedroom, i'm honestly contemplating getting the Z906.
I've had the Logitech X-530 since 2011. While I know there are far better set ups out there I would have to say they were an amazing bang for your buck. I haven't felt the need to upgrade them, they really do sound great.
I understand that this video is almost 3 years old right now but many users complain about the buzzing sound when these speakers are turned off but still there is power cord plugged in. Which can be really annoying during night and the only fix is to have ON/off button on your extension power cord or on the socket outlet itself. Thank you for answer.
Tech Deals, if you ever start with high end audio then you are screwed. I can tell, you are one of those guys who cares enough about sound that he can't go back once he starts with this expensive hobby. ;) I think that your setup to record the sound is good enough for these speakers. your microphone and soundcard are relatively on a considerably higher level than the speakers. Sure, it might not be perfect (depending on the frequency response characteristic of your microphone) but it should give a fair impression.
You have one of the clearest detailed review I ever saw, except that I didn't hear the actual sound. But even then, you sold me into buying one. I believe you and I'm heading to walmart right now to buy one Z333. Thanks a lot!
I think this was a good review. Improving the sound capabilities of both the board and speakers is a "money ball" method of getting more out of your PC. I think if you stay with Asus 1220 Supreme FX boards, you can get good sound out of built in solution. As to the speakers, I've had the Logitech 5.1 75w speakers since 2004. Mine still sound amazing. The 2.1 you unboxed would be great however for the living room PC. They look solid.
Just bought the Logitech Z623 2.1 set TODAY for $90 When I finished setting them up, I pulled up youtube to make sure they work, and what do I find? Nothing other than TechDeals breaking down aftermarket computer speakers! Perfect! Great video as always.
Full detailed video on speakers! Going for $50 speakers..! One question.. what are those ports on Motherboard that are multicoloured (on back panel)? Below USB ports.. Are they the sound output for the Speakers? Or anything else?
Just a FYI, you may want to consider a sound bar. For instance, I recently picked up an iLive 32" sound bar with blue-tooth and remote from Fry's Electronics for $29. Why a sound bar? Well, first of all, you don't have to deal with the whole right/left speaker issue and the cables. Second, I have mine behind two monitors sitting on the desk. If you want, you can also mount it to a wall. And third, my desk is less cluttered. I hear the sound, but don't have to see the speakers on the right/left sides of the monitors. And finally, for $29 nothing touches it. Again, just a suggestion.
Hi! I just bought the Logitech Z200 since I don'T have much space on my desk. I think for the price they are really great! I also choose them after the looks and it looks and sounds great, so I am satisfied!
true. I was about to get the Z333 'til I realized I have to consider that my laptop is on the desk too. Also, I don't have a proper monitor riser or a monitor stand/clamp to properly sandwich my external 24" monitor.
I used it about more than a year and suddenly the right speaker just went mute. I tried to fix it but it's so hard to take the speaker apart. I ended up snapping the cables. So yea, I get what I paid for.
i have this speaker and i had to RMA the speaker twice in a year with the same problem, speaker not working and green light on the volume knob dosent light up but if i attack a headphone into the volume knob i can hear from it
Thank you so much for this amazing video of the Logitech z333, I have a very very old speaker from Creative, so old I can no longer remember it's exact model, but it has it's own subs and for more than years it is still working. However, the volume is located at one of the satellites and is now a little grounded. And because of this video I've decided to purchase one tomorrow. Again, thank you so much. Your videos have been so helpful in my past PC build's. Keep it up and more power to you.
Discovered the x230's about 10 years ago and as an audio mixer I was shocked at how good they sounded for the money....They sold so well that they can be found second hand for as little as $15, Ive bought about 5 sets of them over the years for myself and as gifts. I will always keep a few of them around as totally decent all round sound source.
My biggest gripe with the z313 is the lack of control over the subwoofer (which IMO is turned up too loud relative to the other speakers). I've had to do software EQ on my sound card to turn that bass down to get a clear sound.
You make a really good point, should have noted that more clearly... Yes, the Z333 has a sub control on the back, the Z313 doesn't. After using both now, the Z333 is totally worth the extra!
So having a linear battle station I have no room for the Z506 and all them speakers (although I really wish I did). I just came home with the Z333s ... LOVE THEM! I could've gotten them for $59 online, but opted to get them at my local Fry's for $70. I have zero complaints! Thanks for this video man!
I have z333 and i'm so satisfied with it, sound is really clear and has nice bass but i never cranked it more then 75% volume so it serves me longer :) and definitely worth the price
I can vouch for these... i had some great cyber acoustics that started crackling one day and replaced them with these and very happy with them. Also they dont look like they came from a ufo, so that's a plus as well.
If you want a set that you can easily tell the difference between a Bosendorfer or a Yamaha piano you might need a Klipsh. I have the Z333 but even those don't do that, but they make enough noise for the old lady to tell me to turn it down. She hates the Altec Lansings on the main sytem>> $410 20 years ago and still good and not noisy. That AL has a 110v power cord on the woofer and you need two hands to pick it up. It also fills the house with sound. The other one (logitec) uses a power brick and the whole thing fits on the desk. The AL? well ya might need a desk the size of a aircraft carrier
My friend has logitech speakers with subwoofer, and today I experienced the sound. Man, what a bass that subwoofer has. When I was home, I directly searched for a good pair of logitech speakers. I came out on the z333 speakers, and to be sure they are good, I came to your review. Well, you convinced me, and I'm going to buy the z333 soon!
Big big Logitech fan here! My entire desktop (3 computers) is almost exclusively Logitech: Keyboards, mouses (mice?), and of course the speaker systems. I am seriously considering redoing my sound system(s) using a mixer to mix all three computers into one sound system. (As opposed to the three systems currently living on my desk.) I think you have me pretty well sold on the Z-333 setup. I love those satellite speakers, and know exactly where they would fit perfectly. ....Now I just have to find the right mixer. Too bad Logitech doesn't make mixers, LOL. God Bless and have a very Merry Christmas.
Have you ever tested the Klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers ? I know they list for about $150 but it's easy to find them for under $100 on Amazon or ebay. I've heard really good things about them and thought it would be a nice test to get from your unbiased angle.
HenryPlays All cheap speakers break after the first couple of months. I've been buying speakers for 6 years, constantly. Until I siwtched to headphones 5 times more expensive. I'll never look back. Fuck speakers.
I have some old cheap Logitech speakers which were the previous model to the z213 speakers, they have lasted me about 6 years so far and the only issue is the wire is slightly freyed but it's not a big issue because they just sit on my desk
I'm from Germany and find your description of the sound system much better than the descriptions in germany. I just ordered the system and it costs 44.99 euros.I would therefore like to thank you for your detailed description
im using old old ollld altec lansing 2.1s...i was surprised to see the subwoofer seems to have a removable fuse...not sure why but they go really well...love your enthusiasm and honesty...good manners too...subbed
Was just about to buy a set of speakers. Now I guess I'll reconsider my decision. Thank you Mr Tech Deals BTW I'd trust his opinion any day about anything
It was Walpole A 5.1 surround equivalent from creative. I'm still considering my options but I think I'll either get the Creative 5.1 surround or these specific ones described in this video
I had creative 2.1 a long time ago and now use it with my TV at native home. Bought in 2003, it still works. Then I bought creative 5.1 in 2009 and that changed my view on playing movies and music. Unfortunately, I sold the device when I moved abroad. In 2017, I bought Logitech Z506 which is still running, but one channel in the back left is not working. Now I'm thinking of buying an AVR and Klipsch speakers. I have Logi Z120 two small speakers connected to my laptop. My recommendation for computer, tv users, buy at least a 5.1 speaker system, they work fantastic.
I love how you explain things. I'm just a guy with OCD when it comes to pronunciation. overall.. your videos are very informative and detailed. You are helping people make great tech decisions. Thank you. :D
Hey just wanna let you know, 2 years ago the rig I built was inspired by 1 of your videos and now I'm getting some speakers and here you are! Kudos to you !
Hey Tech Deals! First Merry Christmas! Second I love your channel! I want to say a week ago I bought the Creative Gigaworks T20 II and while they are great and clear something was missing...(bass). I was going to get a pair of Z313 from your earlier review then decided on the Z333 because of this review. However when I got to Microcenter they had the Z506 refurbished for only $49.99 and after watching your channel for over a year now I knew I could not pass this deal up. I just got home and set them up and WOW they are great! I don't have stands for the rear speakers but I have them off to the side of my desk and I just loaded up GTAV and it was like playing it for the first time again. The Front and center speakers are so clear and the rear even though they are not in an ideal space add so much immersion. Keep up the great work, please never change because as I said I have watched you for over a year and have made many purchases based on your recommendation.
Had the Z200s for years and for the money they are excellent! Recommended them to friends and after they listened too them, they bought em on Amazon on two occasions!
I just like to mention here how admirable it is to hear someone that knows and admits the limits of his/hers knowledge and experience! Kudos sir. (And an extra point for mention the (very true and ever present) law of diminishing returns.)
The Z333 seems perfect for me, and I've listened to a few sound test videos - I can say it does sound good and I like that there aren't a ton of speakers like with more expensive systems - this is perfect for my desk. :D
the 313 woofer is tied into the speakers. all the mess of wires and their length make it tough to space the speakers properly. it is can also be tough to impossible to adjust the bass. as it has to adjusted within the software. the bass gets to be a little much
Still using my Logitech Z-5500 from 2009, the only issue I had was the backlight of the pod dying, however Logitech sent me a new pod for that and it has been great ever since.
Thank you very much, I did view your video last week and I did exactly that, i upgraded to the z333 as I also had a space issue..I am very happy with this results.
I like this format. In general, there are other parts that make up a computer than just the cpu and gpu. Peripherals do play a part in the overall computer experience. Variety is good.
So I just yesterday, purchased the Z313 and I was blown away for the the result vs what we paid for the 2.1 system. It was really great. No complaints. The fact that the Z333 has the bass enhancing feature is really awesome. That feature is usually on much higher end systems that would cost $50-$100 more than the price point you'd paid for it. As I said, I'm a music producer and sound is more than MANDATORY for me so I can hear what I'm putting out. Also, I love the fact that it's 2.1 with level of quality. I had my eyes on a Klipsh 2.1 100W for proofing so I can adjust bass at optimal levels to meet that balance. I'm using the onboard sound input on my MSI B550 Mortar Motherboard. If I have the Logitech Z313, would you recommend me getting an aftermarket sound card? Would there be any quality sound improvement for the speaker system hardware and on board sound card I'm currently using? What is your current sound system for soundcard and connected external hardware? Currently my system is pretty good. Ryzen 5 with boosted 512gb DDR6 RAM. I output a good bit with the tweaks and overclocking. Any thoughts or advice? I have no Studio sound foam mounted. I'd rather put that money in headphones and hardware/software. My headphones are either Knox or the beauties I have for daily use; Plantronics
I got one myself(Z333) and im amazed,with full bass,full volume both the speaker and the pc and some hardcore music from LP,well they sounds music to my ears...very satisfied.
Hi! did you noted that the control wheel jack out is not very loud? when I plug my headphones to the wheel jack the volume is lower compared to straight out of the pc
I like how this guy provides information the way you would like to get them. I have worked in sales in a tech store & I learned that most people, who are looking for stuff, prefer it this way.
My Logitech Z-5500 sound system is still rockin'. It has to be over 7 years old. Cant remember the exact purchase date. I haven't had any issues with Logitech yet.
I have the Logitech Z2200 2.1 system. I bought it back in 2004 and they still sound great. 200 watt rms 400 watt peak. Only down side is you WILL buy a sound card as I have never had on-board sound that did justice to this system.
The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is at the high end of what this review addresses at around $120, but they are such a clear leader in that price range that I think they are worth a mention. They used to be even more expensive, and I think they were a good value then. I just bought a pair of the featured Logitech speakers are they are indeed really good, a great value at their price. For TVs with a headphone jack in a small room I think they are an amazing step up from the TV's built in speakers and they are way better than "cheap" soundbars that actually cost two or three times as much as this. I do have one gripe: the tweeter on this is fake. It's not that they don't sound good. They sound fine, very good actually. But why do they have to put a fake circle to make it look like there is a tweeter on these? Obviously it makes it look like it's better, but it's essentially a lie. Everything else about these is nice. Why pretend there's something in there that's not? I wish they hadn't spent the money putting that junk detail on these. Maybe they could have cut the price by $5 without that. Maybe they could just make more money for themselves. Maybe they could actually pay the people who assemble, box or ship these another three yuan per hour? I just don't like fake stuff.
I realize this is a really old video, but I still want to thank you for your time putting it out there. I just ordered these today from Amazon for $80 and all they're used for is occasionally. I want to listen to a TH-cam or some streaming app to listen to content as opposed to putting on my headphones.
I have two sets of the Logitech Z333 speakers, they are great and I have no complaints. I do have a question though, the satellite speakers have what appears to be a small speaker close to the top of the speaker box, is that actually a speaker or just looks like one. Buck Burton
*UPDATE* - I now have these Z333 speakers on my Ryzen 7 1700 build, they are MUCH better than the Z313, totally worth the extra cost! - I will end up with another set for my Skylake-X system!
*NOTE* - You'll get similar sound from the Z506, you just need room for a 5.1 system, the price isn't much higher

Sure, it might not be perfect (depending on the frequency response characteristic of your microphone) but it should give a fair impression.
You have one of the clearest detailed review I ever saw, except that I didn't hear the actual sound. But even then, you sold me into buying one. I believe you and I'm heading to walmart right now to buy one Z333. Thanks a lot!
I think this was a good review. Improving the sound capabilities of both the board and speakers is a "money ball" method of getting more out of your PC. I think if you stay with Asus 1220 Supreme FX boards, you can get good sound out of built in solution. As to the speakers, I've had the Logitech 5.1 75w speakers since 2004. Mine still sound amazing. The 2.1 you unboxed would be great however for the living room PC. They look solid.
Just bought the Logitech Z623 2.1 set TODAY for $90 When I finished setting them up, I pulled up youtube to make sure they work, and what do I find? Nothing other than TechDeals breaking down aftermarket computer speakers! Perfect! Great video as always.
Full detailed video on speakers! Going for $50 speakers..!
One question.. what are those ports on Motherboard that are multicoloured (on back panel)? Below USB ports..
Are they the sound output for the Speakers?
Or anything else?
A picture or at the very least mentioning the motherboard model would help! We can only guess.
Just a FYI, you may want to consider a sound bar. For instance, I recently picked up an iLive 32" sound bar with blue-tooth and remote from Fry's Electronics for $29. Why a sound bar? Well, first of all, you don't have to deal with the whole right/left speaker issue and the cables. Second, I have mine behind two monitors sitting on the desk. If you want, you can also mount it to a wall. And third, my desk is less cluttered. I hear the sound, but don't have to see the speakers on the right/left sides of the monitors. And finally, for $29 nothing touches it. Again, just a suggestion.
Wow, very nicely done! Love the straight forward commentary and understandable explanations of specs. Thank you!
Hi! I just bought the Logitech Z200 since I don'T have much space on my desk. I think for the price they are really great! I also choose them after the looks and it looks and sounds great, so I am satisfied!
I bought the Z313 set for my laptop after you posted your last speaker review. For the very limited space I have they're pretty much perfect.
true. I was about to get the Z333 'til I realized I have to consider that my laptop is on the desk too. Also, I don't have a proper monitor riser or a monitor stand/clamp to properly sandwich my external 24" monitor.
I used it about more than a year and suddenly the right speaker just went mute. I tried to fix it but it's so hard to take the speaker apart. I ended up snapping the cables. So yea, I get what I paid for.
@@wilsonwijaya.design Which speaker model?
I've heard that the tweeters on the smaller speakers are fake. Now that's not very nice of Logitech. LOL
i have this speaker and i had to RMA the speaker twice in a year with the same problem,
speaker not working and green light on the volume knob dosent light up but if i attack a headphone into the volume knob i can hear from it
Thank you so much for this amazing video of the Logitech z333, I have a very very old speaker from Creative, so old I can no longer remember it's exact model, but it has it's own subs and for more than years it is still working. However, the volume is located at one of the satellites and is now a little grounded. And because of this video I've decided to purchase one tomorrow. Again, thank you so much. Your videos have been so helpful in my past PC build's. Keep it up and more power to you.
Discovered the x230's about 10 years ago and as an audio mixer I was shocked at how good they sounded for the money....They sold so well that they can be found second hand for as little as $15, Ive bought about 5 sets of them over the years for myself and as gifts. I will always keep a few of them around as totally decent all round sound source.
My biggest gripe with the z313 is the lack of control over the subwoofer (which IMO is turned up too loud relative to the other speakers). I've had to do software EQ on my sound card to turn that bass down to get a clear sound.
You make a really good point, should have noted that more clearly...
Yes, the Z333 has a sub control on the back, the Z313 doesn't. After using both now, the Z333 is totally worth the extra!
I don't know how maybe coincidence but I was just looking for a speaker for my future build
So having a linear battle station I have no room for the Z506 and all them speakers (although I really wish I did). I just came home with the Z333s ... LOVE THEM! I could've gotten them for $59 online, but opted to get them at my local Fry's for $70. I have zero complaints! Thanks for this video man!
Ha the 506's are cheaper than the 333's on amazon Canada
Watching the video on my Z333 speakers. Bought them few months ago, couldn't be happier! Totally recommend them!
For some reason the Z333 are now $100 :/
I have z333 and i'm so satisfied with it, sound is really clear and has nice bass but i never cranked it more then 75% volume so it serves me longer :) and definitely worth the price
I can vouch for these... i had some great cyber acoustics that started crackling one day and replaced them with these and very happy with them. Also they dont look like they came from a ufo, so that's a plus as well.
Any update after 2 years with these? Any problems?
If you want a set that you can easily tell the difference between a Bosendorfer or a Yamaha piano you might need a Klipsh. I have the Z333 but even those don't do that, but they make enough noise for the old lady to tell me to turn it down. She hates the Altec Lansings on the main sytem>> $410 20 years ago and still good and not noisy. That AL has a 110v power cord on the woofer and you need two hands to pick it up. It also fills the house with sound. The other one (logitec) uses a power brick and the whole thing fits on the desk. The AL? well ya might need a desk the size of a aircraft carrier
Heynow , Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays 🇵🇹
My friend has logitech speakers with subwoofer, and today I experienced the sound. Man, what a bass that subwoofer has. When I was home, I directly searched for a good pair of logitech speakers. I came out on the z333 speakers, and to be sure they are good, I came to your review. Well, you convinced me, and I'm going to buy the z333 soon!
Big big Logitech fan here! My entire desktop (3 computers) is almost exclusively Logitech: Keyboards, mouses (mice?), and of course the speaker systems. I am seriously considering redoing my sound system(s) using a mixer to mix all three computers into one sound system. (As opposed to the three systems currently living on my desk.) I think you have me pretty well sold on the Z-333 setup. I love those satellite speakers, and know exactly where they would fit perfectly. ....Now I just have to find the right mixer. Too bad Logitech doesn't make mixers, LOL.
God Bless and have a very Merry Christmas.
Have you ever tested the Klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers ? I know they list for about $150 but it's easy to find them for under $100 on Amazon or ebay. I've heard really good things about them and thought it would be a nice test to get from your unbiased angle.
I almost bought Z333 before I found out the tweeters are fake. Watch out.
What?
@@handsomejack3444 The tweeter speakers on the top are actually fake. They put them there just for the looks.
@@alxnd_r6345 I found out. They should disclose that.
How about the Logitech z337?
How about the Logitech z337?
5 years later, they are almost all double in price.
On amazon a lot of the reviews say the the z333s break after a couple of months.
HenryPlays All cheap speakers break after the first couple of months. I've been buying speakers for 6 years, constantly. Until I siwtched to headphones 5 times more expensive. I'll never look back. Fuck speakers.
lol
I've had mine for over a year and no problems. People are probably trying to run them at 100% volume 24/7
lol ive had z333 logitech for 2 yrs and doesnt break.
I have some old cheap Logitech speakers which were the previous model to the z213 speakers, they have lasted me about 6 years so far and the only issue is the wire is slightly freyed but it's not a big issue because they just sit on my desk
I'm from Germany and find your description of the sound system much better than the descriptions in germany.
I just ordered the system and it costs 44.99 euros.I would therefore like to thank you for your detailed description
Kinda impressive someone can be so enthusiastic while frowning...
im using old old ollld altec lansing 2.1s...i was surprised to see the subwoofer seems to have a removable fuse...not sure why but they go really well...love your enthusiasm and honesty...good manners too...subbed
Was just about to buy a set of speakers. Now I guess I'll reconsider my decision. Thank you Mr Tech Deals
BTW I'd trust his opinion any day about anything
don't let anyone make a decision for you, even if it's such a nice and trustworthy guy like mister TeeDee...
kyriakos tsaknakis what speakers were you about to get?
It was Walpole A 5.1 surround equivalent from creative. I'm still considering my options but I think I'll either get the Creative 5.1 surround or these specific ones described in this video
why in the heck are these double the price now 6 years later?
Blame Biden
those tweeters are fake
I had creative 2.1 a long time ago and now use it with my TV at native home. Bought in 2003, it still works. Then I bought creative 5.1 in 2009 and that changed my view on playing movies and music. Unfortunately, I sold the device when I moved abroad. In 2017, I bought Logitech Z506 which is still running, but one channel in the back left is not working. Now I'm thinking of buying an AVR and Klipsch speakers. I have Logi Z120 two small speakers connected to my laptop. My recommendation for computer, tv users, buy at least a 5.1 speaker system, they work fantastic.
This is... this is nice
Great review! I love it when you talk clearly and at moderate pace so ppl can understand
I just want to correct how you pronounced the Sound Blaster brand
it is AWE-DEE-GEE not AWE-DEE-Yolo-GEE
:D (Constructive criticsm)
Thanks for the feedback... I can't pronounce anything :)
I love how you explain things. I'm just a guy with OCD when it comes to pronunciation.
overall.. your videos are very informative and detailed. You are helping people make great tech decisions. Thank you. :D
Tech Deals Oh, that’s easy, it’s “EN-EE-THING”. No need to thank me! Wait...uh...
Hey just wanna let you know, 2 years ago the rig I built was inspired by 1 of your videos and now I'm getting some speakers and here you are! Kudos to you !
Not needed...
But its tech deals!!!
👍👍👍
planning to buy a z333 soon, your review is awesome, the way you review and speak is so clear, you're awesome, this review deserves a like.
❤
Hey Tech Deals! First Merry Christmas! Second I love your channel! I want to say a week ago I bought the Creative Gigaworks T20 II and while they are great and clear something was missing...(bass). I was going to get a pair of Z313 from your earlier review then decided on the Z333 because of this review. However when I got to Microcenter they had the Z506 refurbished for only $49.99 and after watching your channel for over a year now I knew I could not pass this deal up. I just got home and set them up and WOW they are great! I don't have stands for the rear speakers but I have them off to the side of my desk and I just loaded up GTAV and it was like playing it for the first time again. The Front and center speakers are so clear and the rear even though they are not in an ideal space add so much immersion. Keep up the great work, please never change because as I said I have watched you for over a year and have made many purchases based on your recommendation.
Had the Z200s for years and for the money they are excellent! Recommended them to friends and after they listened too them, they bought em on Amazon on two occasions!
I still can't decide over the z313 or the z333!
I just like to mention here how admirable it is to hear someone that knows and admits the limits of his/hers knowledge and experience! Kudos sir. (And an extra point for mention the (very true and ever present) law of diminishing returns.)
The Z333 seems perfect for me, and I've listened to a few sound test videos - I can say it does sound good and I like that there aren't a ton of speakers like with more expensive systems - this is perfect for my desk. :D
the 313 woofer is tied into the speakers. all the mess of wires and their length make it tough to space the speakers properly. it is can also be tough to impossible to adjust the bass. as it has to adjusted within the software. the bass gets to be a little much
Great review. I'm glad that you are reviewing speakers that are in a price range that is more accessible to the majority of users.
Dude it's amazing how you have a review on everything I need. You are a badass!
This is a gem. I mean the review. We dont get this kind of unboxing/review nowadays! Thanks for the comprehensive inputs!
Nice, deep and thorough review listing numerous pros & cons. This is the type of reviews the internet needs.
Still using my Logitech Z-5500 from 2009, the only issue I had was the backlight of the pod dying, however Logitech sent me a new pod for that and it has been great ever since.
Thank you very much, I did view your video last week and I did exactly that, i upgraded to the z333 as I also had a space issue..I am very happy with this results.
5 years later and this is still the best video on this topic, an update would be great
I like this format. In general, there are other parts that make up a computer than just the cpu and gpu. Peripherals do play a part in the overall computer experience. Variety is good.
I love hearing your vids as I go to sleep. Your voice and the quality of sound is very soothing.
So I just yesterday, purchased the Z313 and I was blown away for the the result vs what we paid for the 2.1 system. It was really great. No complaints. The fact that the Z333 has the bass enhancing feature is really awesome. That feature is usually on much higher end systems that would cost $50-$100 more than the price point you'd paid for it. As I said, I'm a music producer and sound is more than MANDATORY for me so I can hear what I'm putting out. Also, I love the fact that it's 2.1 with level of quality. I had my eyes on a Klipsh 2.1 100W for proofing so I can adjust bass at optimal levels to meet that balance. I'm using the onboard sound input on my MSI B550 Mortar Motherboard. If I have the Logitech Z313, would you recommend me getting an aftermarket sound card? Would there be any quality sound improvement for the speaker system hardware and on board sound card I'm currently using? What is your current sound system for soundcard and connected external hardware? Currently my system is pretty good. Ryzen 5 with boosted 512gb DDR6 RAM. I output a good bit with the tweaks and overclocking. Any thoughts or advice? I have no Studio sound foam mounted. I'd rather put that money in headphones and hardware/software. My headphones are either Knox or the beauties I have for daily use; Plantronics
also, can you compare them to similar priced creative/edifier speakers?
Your videos are always so on point. Yours is one of my favorite tech channels on TH-cam. Thank you for all y our amazing work.
I got one myself(Z333) and im amazed,with full bass,full volume both the speaker and the pc and some hardcore music from LP,well they sounds music to my ears...very satisfied.
Hi! did you noted that the control wheel jack out is not very loud? when I plug my headphones to the wheel jack the volume is lower compared to straight out of the pc
I like how this guy provides information the way you would like to get them. I have worked in sales in a tech store & I learned that most people, who are looking for stuff, prefer it this way.
Would you recommend getting a sound card for the speakers, and what about the type of head phones[which I use} for music, gaming and the like?
Have no clue what else you got on channel mate, I just listened to your speech and the way you explain and approach things = subscribed. Damn good!
Logitechs are great. I've been using my z5300e 5.1 280w system since I bought it in '05. Survived several moves and still sounds great.
My Logitech Z-5500 sound system is still rockin'. It has to be over 7 years old. Cant remember the exact purchase date. I haven't had any issues with Logitech yet.
I have the Logitech Z2200 2.1 system. I bought it back in 2004 and they still sound great. 200 watt rms 400 watt peak. Only down side is you WILL buy a sound card as I have never had on-board sound that did justice to this system.
man this is the most detailed video i have watched. subbed
The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is at the high end of what this review addresses at around $120, but they are such a clear leader in that price range that I think they are worth a mention. They used to be even more expensive, and I think they were a good value then.
I just bought a pair of the featured Logitech speakers are they are indeed really good, a great value at their price. For TVs with a headphone jack in a small room I think they are an amazing step up from the TV's built in speakers and they are way better than "cheap" soundbars that actually cost two or three times as much as this. I do have one gripe: the tweeter on this is fake. It's not that they don't sound good. They sound fine, very good actually. But why do they have to put a fake circle to make it look like there is a tweeter on these? Obviously it makes it look like it's better, but it's essentially a lie. Everything else about these is nice. Why pretend there's something in there that's not? I wish they hadn't spent the money putting that junk detail on these. Maybe they could have cut the price by $5 without that. Maybe they could just make more money for themselves. Maybe they could actually pay the people who assemble, box or ship these another three yuan per hour? I just don't like fake stuff.
I brought the Z313 a few days ago on your recommendation for £35 and happy with them, look nice and sound nice for the price
I realize this is a really old video, but I still want to thank you for your time putting it out there. I just ordered these today from Amazon for $80 and all they're used for is occasionally. I want to listen to a TH-cam or some streaming app to listen to content as opposed to putting on my headphones.
would you recommend a soundbar over speakers to use for a pc?
I have two sets of the Logitech Z333 speakers, they are great and I have no complaints. I do have a question though, the satellite speakers have what appears to be a small speaker close to the top of the speaker box, is that actually a speaker or just looks like one.
Buck Burton
Bought Z333. The sound is so great for my small room and I definitely not regret the investment.
How are they doing? I'm thinking of buying them
same had them year now
@@ryzencorp8182 BUY THEM. they are so awesome but realize its for computer. sounds awesone
@@kontio9186 Cant you connect them to your TV?
The ability to raise and lower the bass means a lot to us! Hoping the midrange on these are good.
Love the hockey puck as i've been using an old Griffin Powermate on my laptop. I think i'll grab these speakers. Thanks for the video.
