 Logitech Z Cinema Review August 29, 2008
Mr. S. J. Sehgal (London)
When you first get these out of the box you will be ASTONISHED at the size of the sub and satellites. These things are beastly.
When i first connected them up and heard them I honestly thought what the hell is wrong with them! They are connected to a PC by USB: When your computer CPU is under strain, the USB functions are affected as well. Thus, when listening to music and when your computer CPU is doing something strenuous, your speakers will suffer (crackly noise or intermittent playback).
Another thing, if they are connected to your PC by USB, they WILL NOT BE USING your soundcard. Thus, those that have good quality soundcards like a soundblaster X-Fi, will not actually be using it if you connect by USB.
The solution: Connect using the Auxillary port on the side of the speakers. Took me a while to work this one out but got there in the end. (Disable the Z Cinema in your 'playback devices' and enable your soundcard, in my case SB X-fi.
The result: The sound is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!
The remote is really good and functions as a media center remote as well. The software is tacky looking in my opinion but it doesn't mess up the sound thankfully. 1 star off for the USB issue. Otherwise great sound!
 Not good sound! May 23, 2008

Bought these through Amazon , got them home and struggled to get them to give a good sound.
Had Z-2300 system before ( reason fornot having it gave it to my son who is more than happy with his new computer speakers)and was looking for sound equal if not better than the Z-2300, but was very very dissapointed with the sound ,the bass and the overall volume of the system.
The suround was not effective wished I had gone for the bose system which is about the same cost.
Not only that the unit constantly crackled, this became very anoying.
Have sent the unit back to Amazon for a refund. As soona s I get my refund I will get Z-2300 unit again. Cant wait!
