This is my Logitech Z906 review, I have done all the testing in my soundproof home theater room, I have compared the Logitech Z906 against soundbars as well. The review also contains a detail guide on supported audio formats like Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS and Dolby Atmos. I mostly used Digital Optical Toslink cable for movies and 3.5 mm analog audio jacks for games. Also given some information with PS5 compatibility.

This is the best explanation regarding this Logitech Z906 and the overall 5.1 surround experience and how it works in all the videos I have watched. Kudos to you man.
thanks
I've just wanted to correct you on something I do have the Logitech z906, if the dialogue does not sound clear on the Logitech z906 it's because the way how the content has been mixed on the DVDs films, it's got nothing to do with the Logitech, if you listen to certain content on TH-cam videos and the dialogue is very clear and some certain DVD films the content is clear on the Logitech z906, I've looked into this and I have raised this question as well in the past. I know on certain DVD films the dialogue sounds a bit muffled it's got nothing to do with the Logitech z906! This happens to a lot of surround sound systems and sound bars it is really to do with how the content has been recorded!
I am not sure about TH-cam videos coz TH-cam is only stereo, on Z906 you can play stereo where center channel is inactive or fake matrix mode, by which you can't judge center channel. Talking about DVD/Bluray, I agree that some movies do have bad dialogue mix like Tenet but my issue is that, you can't adjust the Front- Left and Right like Side surround, so when movie have loud audio coming from Front L/R then it drown out the Center channel(even if you keep center at 100% volume, since Front L/R run at 100% by default and you can't adjust them). I do own a dedicated Dolby Atmos Home theater and with my Denon AVR I can separately raise the center channel volume unlike Z906 for better dialogue.
@@ElitistReviews you can't adjust the Front- Left or right, you're right about that agree with you, I've tried that also, on Z906 it doesn't make a difference, I was a bit disappointed with that also, some guy who I know was saying that he has a different cinema system he has that issue as well with some films, but he said the problem is when you turn up the dialogue you drown out the other sounds on the system! you cant really win.
@@ElitistReviews I have a smart Tv and i can watch TH-cam content with the logtech z906 on and the dialogue sounds very clear on TH-cam! that's also how i know some DVDs films is not recorded very clear!
@@anthonyjones5924 you need to understand that TH-cam is only Stereo, left and right that's it but with the Z906 matrix mode it will simulated to all the speakers, you can't judge a speaker like that and only true 5.1 content mix can determine speaker's decoding capability, like 90% Netflix or Disney+ content are in 5.1 or Atmos, and even Bluray movies too. In a true 5.1 content dialogue is suppose to come only through the center channel and if some explosion is going on at the same time then you should be able to hear the dialogue and the explosion sound clearly. That's what a good system can do. I've watched at least a 1000 movies/tv shows in my Z906 and the dialogue is not clear when there is a big explosion or loud ambient noise in the scene. But with my Polk S35 + Denon AVR, I don't have that issue. Please checkout my Polk S35 speaker review.
@@ElitistReviews but you're right about that I agree with you but there is some content on TH-cam that is uploaded 5.1 surround sound on TH-cam I do get some of all the speakers playing on youtube but mostly is the only front speakers play on youtube!
Great review 👍 I'll call u in Great specialist in sound engineer... 🙏❤️
thanks 🙂
Hi Bro, Pls clarify I'm using Logitech Z906 with Mi QLED 55" TV I'm not get 5.1 audio from only Amazon prime video. If I'm purchase fire stick 4k, it does work 5.1 from optical out. Is it work 5.1 audio?
Hi Bro
Been looking for information on this 5.1 speaker, and found that your review is the most informative. An honest review of a computer speaker from a knowledgable home theater expert. Usually home theater expert scoff at computer speaker. Thanks for that !
I'm interested in this speaker for it's surround. Having no Atmos is okay as true Atmos experience is just too much for my budget. My concern is that this is a 10 year old product. Is there any newer competing similar prized 5.1 speaker as comparison?
Thanks for the help !
There is no equivalent 5.1 pc speaker like Z906 so just go for it.
@@ElitistReviews thanks !
Hi, just watched the review thanks! I noticed the pads you use to raised the center channel speaker. What pad is that, any links to buy?
that's just some extra cutouts of those acoustic panels, you see on the wall.
thats call a real review👌👍

Loved your video bro.

@@ElitistReviews can you please tell me how is the bass of this system, is it tight and punchy or boomy and bloated.
@@sandeshbhosale1617 it's in the middle, not that tight or punchy and not like boomy. You can't get better bass at this price range, you can watch my Home Theater speaker reviews to know more about Polk subwoofer.
Master review 👍
Thanks
@@ElitistReviews
I'm getting proper 5.1 audio from Netflix, Disney+, Zee5 ott apps. But only prime video is the problem. My question is if am using through 4K Fire stick like u said in ur review video will get 5.1 audio through 4k Fire Stick. Pls confirm that Prime video will work 5.1 audio through Amazon Fire stick 4k.?
@@sivag4777 yes using Z906, Primevideo 5.1 works perfectly with my 4k Firestick
@@ElitistReviews super bro, Thanks ❤️
I want to see review of this with Plex like you mentioned 😊
thanks for watching, I will try my best to review plex.
Bro Dolby Atmos , Dolby true hd ,dts hdvideo fill sound to Logitech convert Dolby digital ??? sound play or not??
2:03 you can check the time stamp. Logitech cannot play TrueHD Atmos or Dolby Digital Plus Atmos because you need HDMI for that and Logitech Z906 cannot even convert to Dolby Digital but it can convert DTS-X, DTS HD Master Audio to simple DTS 5.1 it can playback flawlessly, please check this time stamp 3:10
Brother , you can play almost anything with this speaker but you have to consider that it can't go beyond 5.1 ch and limited to 96khz/24bits stereo and dolby digital and dts specs.
Brother pls suggest z906 or iv300 or yamaha 1840. Bass not matter. Only focus on sound clarity and surround experience. Thanks
Yamaha 1840 any day...
Can you please make a detailed sound demo video on this system playing differ movies like fury, blade runner 2049 intro, midway or some movie trailers.
if I do that then I will get copy right strike on my channel 😔
@@ElitistReviews ok i understand. But I was planning to buy this to watch movies from my pc so needed to know how they sound with movies.
@@sandeshbhosale1617 they are excellent for movies, go for it. Subwoofer back gets heat up so make sure to keep it under AC.
@@ElitistReviews ok thanks.
Z906 sound vs 10-15k soundbar which supports dolby digital plus? Which one will be better? Regualr z906 converted sound or inferior soundbar witb good conversion?
In details plz
if you buy an Amazon Firestick 4K then connect your TV via optical, exactly what I did then Firestick will convert Dolby Digital Plus to Dolby Digital 5.1 and then Z906 can easily play it back, Soundbar cannot compete with this solution bcoz no matter what you do, you cannot separate front Left Right and Center channel.
@@ElitistReviews thanks a lot. I have hybrid airtel xtreme box so via optical cable can it decode fully? For HD channels i mean.
@@nicksajs even though in India, set top boxes can technically playback 5.1 but none of the TV channels broadcast 5.1 audio they are stereo only, and even all the Indian TV shows are recorded and produced in Stereo only. If you try stereo content on 5.1 speaker then you will only get virtual simulated surround sound and not True Dolby/DTS 5.1. Only Netflix, PrimeVideo support up to Dolby Atmos, and recently Hotstar started supporting 5.1 audio
@@ElitistReviews taking all these things into consideration would you still recommend z906 under 20k or can suggest something close or better than this under this price? (i have used sony iv300 and z625)
@@nicksajs it all depends on your requirement, if you prefer PC gaming or Firestick 4K and have subscription of Netflix, PrimeVideo then sure or if you consume content on Set-top box mostly then get a soundbar, you join my discord if u want to talk to me directly. (discord.gg/rebP3rqB)
I have some bluray Rips which would be a better way to play em on pc! like through usb/ Kodi/ PC to TV with K lite. or any other option you suggest? please help! buy the way best Review on Z906 so far!
best way is Klite codec and use MadVR plugin, do a research about MadVR config.
I'm getting proper 5.1 audio from Netflix, Disney+, Zee5 ott apps. But only prime video is the problem. My question is if am using through 4K Fire stick like u said in ur review video will get 5.1 audio through 4k Fire Stick. Pls confirm that Prime video will work 5.1 audio through Amazon Fire stick 4k.?
yes it will work with 4k Fire Stick
@@ElitistReviews Yes, I bought this and it's working fine.
Hi bro, your videos are really great. I recently purchased the z906 and I really love the audio quality of it. Z906 only supports Dolby Digital and not DD+. I have tons of eac3 encoded Dolby Digital plus movies in my harddrive and when I play them thru z906 It didn't play in all 5 speakers due to incompatibility. How can I make the eac3 played as ac3? Please help me brother. I don't have TV or firestick. I connect z906 with my Macbook computer and I use VLC player. Please suggest me brother.
unfortunately the optical toslink cable can't carry any lossless 5.1 audio, such as Dolby Digital Plus.
@@ElitistReviews yeah... Bro, is there any transcoding techniques to convert eac3 to ac3 5.1 while playing?
Logitech z906 it's a beast....
budget beast.
sir
im confuse between
JBL 9.1 dolby atmos bar for 70K
or custom made diy 5.1 using car subwoofers. component speakers tweeters and fosi amps
can jbl bar create 3d sound channel seperation
go visit your nearest home theatre shop then decide.
Good video, I have a question this product work good 5.1 with Netflix, amazon and Disney plus? My Smart tv Samsung series 7100 have a optical audio,........ All the movies have 5.1 en Netflix work good with this product Logitech z906?? I would like to know that because y will buy this product.
so only Netflix will support 5.1 via the Android TV but if you want prime video and DisneyPlus 5.1 then get the amazon Firestick or an Apple TV.
@@ElitistReviews no work only tv, ...... Need i buy a other product like a fire stick?
@@alejandroalvarezvargas6870 yea you should a Firestick 4K coz with my TCL Android there a significant audio delay via optical with Z906 for Netflix and PrimeVideo doesn't support 5.1 at all so I had to buy the Firestick 4K but later I realized that it doesn't support Netflix Atmos only up to 5.1, so now I have to buy an Apple TV 4K.
whats the best speakers for pc gaming / movies?
if u have an unlimited budget then AVR Receiver + Power Amp + B&W or KEF 7.1 setup
Are you Able to play dts audio ? I'm only able to ay dolby 5.1 properly..
yes I'm able to play DTS via optical, getting proper 5.1 as I've showed in the video as well
are the rear speakers loud enough? the last 5.1 setup i had was the cheaper version of this from logitech. gonna be using this for movies and gaming for a small bedroom
yea all 5 speakers are exactly same, with the remote, you can increase rear speaker volume, along with center and subwoofer but you cannot increase front speaker volume. Put the rear speaker above 1.5 feet of your ear level and you are good to go.
@@ElitistReviews cool thank you!
How did you wall mount these?
MYL Wall / Ceiling mount, price 2400/- Amazon
@@ElitistReviews ok thanks, bought this system today will come in 4-7 days.
How to connect into tv? Optical cable?
yap Optical Toslink cable
@@ElitistReviews is this subwoofer have optical port?
@@mohamedmuwadh2582 yes subwoofer has two optical port
Dude, I don't understand. Are you comparing it to the z906 polk audio signature series? )
can you tell me which part you didn't understand, I have a bad habit to speak faster. I took Polk Signature as a reference then compared it to Z906. But let me tell you, apart from the high frequency, the Z906 is a killer deal, I wish it had an HDMI arc, then it would have been 10/10 for me.
@@ElitistReviews Is it right to compare the z906 with the regiment polk audio signature series?
@@elcinesed7465 absolutely not but here like I said I kept the Polk set up as a reference point only then I am able to explain how much the Z906 is missing.
What is the frequency response on z906 subwoofer?
Lowest is 35hz
I suffer from tinnitus and hyperacusis. I pretty much can never use over the ear headphones or earbuds ever again. I miss playing Call of Duty. Could I use these speakers and a microphone without friends hearing the sound around me? Does anyone know if thats possible? I assume just move the threshold up? Thank you.
for that you need a noise canceling microphone and you are good to go.
@@ElitistReviews I didn't know those existed. Thank you brother. 🙏📿
Which sound card you have
don't need a sound card, I use Denon 3600H for conversion.
@@ElitistReviews for pc to z906
@@satyajitroy726 on board Realtek chip
Are u using any sound card in your pc?
Nope, just using optical out from on my motherboard for Z906 but most of the time I use my Nvidia graphics card HD audio for playback with my denon AVR
I'm hoping I misheard... But did you say that these are NOT compatible with the PS5?
yes because PS5 doesn't have optical out like the first PS4 model or PS4 Pro, it only has HDMI which Logitech Z906 lacks. If your TV has optical out then you can downconvert PCM 5.1 or 7.1 audio to Dolby AC3 but it may or may not work depends on the TV.
@@ElitistReviews Thanks for the fast reply... I've recently bought this sound system (haven't set it up yet) but am planning on buying the PS5 at some point, so this is very frustrating!
If the sound system is connected to the TV won't it play sound to whatever device is connected to it? So if my PS5 is connected to the TV through HDMI, and the Logitech is connected to the TV through optical, would it not push sound out that way?
Or are you saying that I would need to buy an Optical to Hdmi cable specifically for the PS5?
I have a 2 year old Sony Bravia kd55xg8505 TV.
@@Its_A_London_Thing if you connect via TV then you might get only get stereo sound and not 5.1 bcoz like I said in my review, PS5 game uses lossless PCM 5.1 or 7.1 type audio and optical cable can only carry lossless stereo and cannot carry 5.1
Do you think they're still worth it?
nope, HDMI is a must now
@@ElitistReviews thank you so much, btw what would you recommend instead of these?
@@Marcus_sk_cz find a cheap AVR like Denon or Onkyo and get a 5.1 package like Klipsch 5.1 Reference System
Bro why don't you create a discord server for home theater enthusiasts, i would love to have a conversation with you 🙂
I did check on my channel page.
@@ElitistReviews sorry to say, but you're very rude.. Best of luck with your "channel"
Really? why do you think so?
Tata sky conect to sound quality???
broadcast television don't give 5.1, you need to use streaming services like Netflix, PrimeVideo and Hotstar recently introduced 5.1 but 90% of their content are stereo only just like DTH set top box.
@@ElitistReviews hd channel??
@@rejinvgm8598 High Definition is 1080p resolution but that doesn't mean you get 5.1 surround sound.
Bro Sony ht iv 300 home theater in Tata sky sun hd an k hd chanels 5.1 audio support bro
@@rejinvgm8598 ok so how do you know it's true 5.1 and not stereo upmix, like Netflix has a tool called "Test Pattern" by which you can determine 5.1, does it have a similar feature? also even though the setbox is capable of 5.1 doesn't mean the content is also a 5.1 mix
Cant handle the bass? Its only goes to 35 hz (on paper)...so.....
buddy if you look at my other videos, I have got 2 dedicated subwoofers connected with my receiver, and those cost twice the entire Z906 so believe me when I tell you Z906 is no slouch it can shake your 4bhk house.
For this price the selfish people of Logitech could have made this the No.1 Dolby Atmos enabled system,alas they haven't!
Logitech Z906 released in 2011 and Dolby Atmos adapted into home theater in 2016 so therefore it's not Logitech's fault. But the issue is Dolby Atmos setup requires a dedicated room and only a small number of people can afford to do that, therefore soundbars are ruling everywhere.
I'm getting proper 5.1 audio from Netflix, Disney+, Zee5 ott apps. But only prime video is the problem. My question is if am using through 4K Fire stick like u said in ur review video will get 5.1 audio through 4k Fire Stick. Pls confirm that Prime video will work 5.1 audio through Amazon Fire stick 4k.?
so you have to adjust some settings in the TV itself in order to get 5.1 out via optical. My TCL does convert Dolby Digital 5.1 from Netflix, Primevideo and even Hotstar, my tv itself coverts all signal to DD 5.1 then send via optical but I get a bit audio delay.. If you still don't get 5.1 then there is no point in buying a fire stick. Logitech Z906 is primarily a PC speaker and not so useful in Home Theater purpose coz lossy Dolby Digital is dead and 99% of the audio format is either Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Atmos and Z906 or optical cable does not support either of them.
