Is the Logitech Z506 a Good Desktop Speaker System? (Sound Test vs Logitech Z625)

The Logitech Z506 is a 5.1 surround sound speaker system that was launched back in 2010. Now 14 years later, is it a good option for people looking for desktop speakers? Although these speakers were discontinued by Logitech, you can still find them on the used market for a good deal. Even after all this time, can it compete with the Logitech Z625, one of Logitech's most popular desktop speakers right now.
TIME STAMPS
When comparing both speakers, I made sure to keep all the variables consistent. The Windows volume was set at 70%; the video volume was set at 100%; the speaker volume was set at 50%; the subwoofer volume was set at 50%; and both speakers were being recorded form a distance of 2 ft.

With the sound card works not issues

I have a pair of these speakers that are 14 years old and still going strong. I want to hook them up to TV to get true 5.1, but the audio decoders that use hdmi/optical audio 3.5 mm have become hard to find.

Z625 Sounds like its got more oomph to the bass, but i like both

[@tybread2997]

Those should work just fine with surround sound using the three audio ports. I have a Logitech X-530 from 2004, and the Z-906 both are setup using the three audio ports. You would have to play around with the Realtek software to get everything to work. Second, you have to make sure that whatever you are using actually is 5.1. For Netflix, you have to pay more for surround sound. KZbin doesn't support surround on PC, but works from a TV. For games, you may need to select surround from the menu as it's not always on my default.

Ohh I see now. I did test them using the realtek audio console on windows 10, and everything seemed to be working well. I'll have to test with games, since I've really only tried for KZbin and Netflix. Would you happen to know where I can stream or watch 5.1 enabled media? Thank you so much!

@@vaguebit9686 Man my last comment was way off. I looked back at the back of your MoBo and you do have surround. Above those connections (mic in and line in ) are the Rear and Center/Subwoofer along with the main out or Line Out. Line out is your front left right.

@@feeterican I apologize, the motherboard photo I included in the video was a random motherboard photo I saw online. My motherboard unfortunately doesn't have these ports. If you're curious it's an Asus TUF Gaming B450M Pro
