I have this Z313 set. I have to say the sound is absolutely amazing for $30 bucks. Anytime a friend or family member comes over while I have these on and they hear them they always say things like wow your stereo system on your laptop sounds great or something like that. Gets a compliment all the time. Note: I have found over the years that a good "song" for testing sound systems is the song "Eminence Front" by The Who. Just try it and you will see what I mean.

@Ezio Auditore It's decent enough for the price vs wattage, at this price range budget =/=quality, however these punch above their weight, with the sub filling out the lower end. The points made are still there, sounds reasonably good and loud too but no amazing sound reproduction. But for what these are, they're a solid choice.

[@MaishanMufeedh]

I been using it for 3+ years. And it's amazing no issues so far. Best purchase

[@Danno21F]

I bought these speakers after watching your video and they are exactly as you describe them. For $32 (what I paid) they are a steal. I really like them. I thought the remote volume/power pod was a stupid idea until I realized it's super handy, and you can leave it sitting right next to your mouse. I kinda wish the speakers were louder, but I also wish my PT Cruiser would go 200 mph. Z313 - great speakers for the price.

[@Techspin]

I tried to be careful how I talked about the sound field because I really wanted to give people realistic expectations... also not 100% happy with the sound range, but for the price, pretty dang great. Your comment gave me a chuckle, thanks!

[@1278phantom]

My wife and I recently bought these speakers. Logitech products never disappoint, and these were no exception. Only complaint I have is that some kind of bass boost would add a bit to these, but is certainly adequate enough as is. Best $30 I ever spent regardless. These speakers more than suit our needs for music/movies/games etc. sound quality for the price is more than worth it, almost too good to be true. Check these out, you won't be disappointed.

[@Techspin]

Yeah, that is true. You might be able to adjust the bass in Realtek Audio's EQ, if Win10 updates haven't nuked it. Windows is really all about removing Realtek Audio control, the EQ, jack assignment and delay settings for surround.

[@DeanGl]

I'd like to get these for casual youtube/movie watching/music on my PC. For gaming though, not even the most expensive set of surround sound speakers can beat a good quality pair of headphones for accurate positional audio.

[@Techspin]

These or the Z333s which are better sound wise are good choices. I agree that headphones provide a different dynamic for surround, but unless they have multiple speakers in each can, it's actually virtualized surround- made through software to sound like that direction. The issue with this is its coming from just one speaker, so bass will eliminate directionality. I've played Shadow of Mordor on both Arctis3s and a Logitech 5.1 and the difference was huge. Then again, not everyone can position the rear/sides close enough to get the same effect. But a true surround system wins hands down. I used to do car stereo installation back in the day, and run a Sony AVR 7.1 setup in my living room, custom ceiling rear channel 6x9s. Soo sweet, but again, not everyone has the space or budget for that! Don't forget to subscribe, and connect with us on Twitter, we have monthly giveaways!

[@Techspin]

The ONLY benefit for Bluetooth is electrical isolation, no hum or noise transmitted to the speakers via electricity. However the audio is compressed so you lose fidelity, and there is a small amount of lag introduced, not good for competitive gaming.

[@Techspin]

Bluetooth speakers are made for music... "on the go". There are some expensive BT speakers that deliver ok sound, but I have not found many that deliver great sound, and none that deliver excellent sound, part of that has to do with the wireless compression I mentioned. Then again, as stated in the video, I wasn't 100% happy with the music sound with these, but they are the loudest, best sounding set for the price. But if you find a good deal, let us know!

[@Techspin]

I've used many BT speakers and some are surprisingly decent for the size and portability, and they certainly have their uses. I have two.

I currently stream an Audio Technica LP60XBT to a Logitech Bluetooth Receiver connected to the Z130's. I'me telling you, they sound rich and spacious this way, better than just streaming stuff from my phone. It shows that what we feed our speakers is the foundation of great sound.

[@Techspin]

There are certainly ways to work around the limitations of this set, including the weird peak and uneven bass reproduction, but the thing is, most users won't be bothered. The review represents the out-of-box experience, including all the good and bad points. The Creative Pebble v2's have a much more even and pleasant sound, albeit no sub so bass reproduction is good for their size but limited compared to the z313's.

@Mai Va Lee even if that happens after 6 months I think for 30$ its still worth it. I could just get another one worst case scenario. So far I had it for almost 2 months now and still sounds amazing. Maybe bec I only used about 30-50% volume inside my room for gaming and watching movies.

[@Techspin]

Static noise when you adjust volume is the knob wearing out, but if it's kinda intermittent without touching volume then it may be a bent/partially broken wire or grounding fault in your electrical system. Speaker static or AC whine can be difficult to track down!

[@Techspin]

Maybe it was over-driven? No problems here yet, but then again, some products do fail faster than others. My unit was store-purchased, so not supplied by Logitech.

[@Techspin]

@Mai Va Lee Sorry you had issues with the Logitech, but I've had zero problems with my 4 sets over the years. Saying a whole company's product line is low quality when you buy a cheap set... well, you get what you pay for.

Answered in video: kzbin.infoQoye8hwlXcQ?si=1holTnEzCjAJN0OU&t=4510 Agreed.

Hello Techspin! I'm an average guy on a budget and I am planning to buy this set. 4 years ago you created this video and now I am still watching it and it helps.

Is it okay if I put my subwoofer beside my computer monitor and near my PC? my space is kind of tight. I hope you can read this

[@DrPosion]

For anyone considering these vs the z623: I have had the z313 for what feels like 6 years now. I have them hooked up to a sennheiser gsx1000 (the "old" version, prior epos). I have the gsx1000 set to movie mode and the z313 are astounding for games, music, movies, and youtube. (I also have the philips fidelio x2hr in the gsx1000 as well) I picked up the z623 system from bestbuy around 5 hours ago. After hooking them up, playing around with the gsx1000, and onboard audio, I was shocked how terrible music and doom eternal sounds on the z623. Everything was extremely bass biased, vocals and instruments were not as clear as the z313. In my opinion, I think this is due to the large driver size on the satellites, and the over reliance on the subwoofer.

[@Techspin]

While I'm glad it's working well for you, the z313's do have pitfalls that other commenters have pointed out, the bass is peaky and inconsistent, and the mid range also has some peaks that makes music sound a bit off. You're running it through a $200 gaming DAC, so you can easily change the EQ for better sound, though on Windows the Realtek software can be challenging to get working sometimes, and some may just be hooking this up to a source without an EQ. This 313s are powerful for the price, but for better sonic quality the Creative Pebble V2s are our hands down choice at this price point. Please do subscribe!

[@DrPosion]

@@Techspin for sure. I'm not sure if the z623 I had were a dud or what. The satellites just sounded terrible. When hooked up to my motherboard directly, or through the gsx1000.

Glad it works for you but we do not recommend swapping speakers as the 3.5mm plug delivers speaker level power, not line level.

if you plug an earphone into the jack in the controller, it will disable all the speakers including the sub and the audio will be redirected to the earphone. also anothee thing to note, the on/off switch and volume knob will also be disabled when you plug an earphone to it. it will be on, all the time even if the knob is turned off. as for the volume, since the knob doesn't work you can only adjist your earphone's volume through your earphone's volume controls(if it has one) or from your pc. the on/off switch is really misleading. I honestly thought that it's for the earphones/headphones. 🤣 so everytime I want to use the speakers, I have to remove the headphone/earphone connected through the controller which is too much of a hassle.

Is it better than Microlab TMN1 and TMN300?

[@Techspin]

I'm gonna say... no? The z313's don't have a good sound reproduction due to peaks/dips in the audio profile, especially music playback. Based on a listening sample, the TMN300 seems a bit better performer for delivering audio, with 40W RMS power. Haven't seen much from Microlab but they're on my radar now, thanks for that. Seems like a lot of commentors on videos are pretty happy with the sound from older Microlabs 2.1 systems, too. Please subscribe!

my subwaffer is dusty. has sat in the same place since I moved in... but have been using the same Creative 2.1 set I picked up at Wally-world about 8 or 9 years ago. can't even remember model. but has decent sound for small apartment and can still annoy the neighbors through the walls. also has enough thump to rattle the windows if ever crank it up that far. was about $40usd at the time I think. my youngest has a set of Logitech speakers for his desktop that can get fairly loud but no subwoofer with it. but for $10 they do what they need to.

How does this compare to Edifier R1280T ?

[@Techspin]

I have some Edifier speakers although not that exact model, but similar. The Edifiers produce better sound overall and can get decently loud. These Z313's have a weird audio profile with dips in some frequencies and the bass generally is much bigger here but has some unusual resonance at certain frequencies. With audio, you generally get what you pay for, so the higher cost Edifiers will probably be better for you. Don't forget to subscribe and tell your friends to help us grow! Thanks for your support!

You're comparing an $100 audio all in one unit to a $30 2.1 system, apples and oranges. The $100 is likely to have better sound fidelity, but the sound separation can't compete with 6ft of cable between L/R on the Logi. The bass will be better on the Logi also, obviously as a sub box blows any mini enclosure out of the water (due to air volume and resonance-think car audio.)

Some rubber feet from a dollar store could also help to balance it out for cheap.

Nah you'll need house speakers for that. You might be able to kinda barely hear them, but with no walls to reflect sound and that 100ft/30m distance, it'll be pretty weak.

May be a stupid question but what's the purpose for the headphone jack on the volume controller, if its for connecting a headset what the point in that?

The volume controller serves a dual purpose; it allows you to control the volume of this speaker system, and it allows you to connect 3.5mm jack headphones. Note I didn't say headset; that would infer the possibility of using a mic, which you can't with this port.

Move the pc/speakers off the same circuit as your fridge. If you think about it, the issue is the dip/surge the fridge is causing, and you certainly don't want your sensitive PC exposed to that over the long term if there's another way to power it! Corollary: Sure you can take getting punched multiple times, but isn't it better to move from that situation? 😂 And certainly never put your fridge and PC on a surge protector together, that compressor kicking on will make short work of the protector and any sensitive connected electronics.

Usually replacing a fridge is a bit expensive, but there may not be much wrong with the condenser, might just be a bit old. In the meantime...

Good questions. 1) You can plug in headphones to your desktop-if they're 3.5mm use the front port, though you may have to Open Sound Settings in windows to enable it (needs to be enabled in BIOS also).
