Logitech Z623 Review | Worth It?

10 years later, and these are still the best speakers I've had. Crazy to say considering their size and low price point.

[@Siiilent]

It's a great sounding system. I have it for 2 years already and I am still surprised how good and powerful the sound is.

[@tomregina7301]

I've had these speakers for 11 years now. They are very good for their price point. Eventually, turning the volume knob will create a crackling sound, so you will need to open up the right speaker and clean the POTS with DeOxit. Fortunately, it's a fairly simple procedure.

[@heymavericklim]

can share how to do that? mine have the loud cracking noise too

[@howardpower]

Yes, the Z623/625 are still worth it in 2021. They are the best speakers in it's class compared to Klipsch, JBL, and even Bose for the price. Logitech reproduces booming bass, excellent high's and mid range, it's just more sound. Their THX certification isn't a joke either. They use thicker cables compared to all the other systems. I'm stuck with a cheap Klipsch because my Logitech Z625 finally gave out. I'm extremely disappointed with the Klipsch sound quality. When this goes out, I'm switching back to Logitech in a heartbeat.

[@Trendnet18]

How long did it last?

[@kotim1142]

Logitech z623 is analog AB class much better That Z625 and Z906 are digital D class crap not good full crap much worse nothing Digital crap No thanks The very best amplifier for a subwoofer is a class AB or Class H amplifier. Class D amplifiers are too slow and cannot keep up with repetitive bass. A class AB has a toroidal transformer and coke can capacitors so when the kick drum kicks the woofer responds instantly "A/B is louder , better , more powerful" because it is A/B ab class is analog much better

hey maqn I jsut saw your comment, they sound pretty good for the headphones that I have, I am just in college and I'm too cheap to even to bother getting a dac and amp, the headphones get loud enough to hurt my ears if I'm not careful. If you where trying to be on a budget I'd get these speakers used and get a nice pair of headphones. I got my studio pair from a thrift store and they worked and just needed new ear cups, works like a charm. KZbin pushes consumerism and honestly to the person who can afford to have dacs and amps and really nice headphones more power to them, for my usecase they are perfectly fine and satisfactory@@titusbyzantine4949

Im impressed!

[@Marcus-gx4yk]

I’ve had this for 6+ years now, it finally gave out in 2018. The cable was giving out, the left speaker started to cut off sometimes when you put pressure on the subwoofer, and the power button to turn on the speakers made static noises with pressure. The speakers were great while they lasted, for everyone that wants a 2.1 speaker system with a subwoofer (ik that’s what a 2.1 is), nothing beats this one at this price point. I am now upgrading from the Z623 to audio engine a2+ with an edifier t5 subwoofer! (Edit: decided to go for the s8 subwoofer actually, no regrets.)

[@CoajaCristiandance]

edifier t5 is not an upgrade. that is a 70W subwoofer.

This speaker system is the perfect balance between affordable and audiophile. Sure, a $5000 speaker system will easily beat it, but nothing in this price point really compares to its sound quality.

mine had a high frequency humm for the first 3 months, they sound great once it went away

[@tbrick4970]

this system is quite good, one thing that i dont like is the crossover point is a bit too high like the subwoofer plays almost at 250-300hz and the bass and highs are kinda boosted which gives them a less natural sound, either way all of this can be fixed with a dsp or a eq

[@smiIingman]

I got these just recently after upgrading from my z523 speakers that ive rocked for 10+ years that were always plagued with connectivity issues by the cables that go into the subwoofer. But man these somehow dont feel and sound as soft and "bassy" as the z523, it even sounds like the sound is primarily coming from the left speaker even though the right one is working.

[@ptlewis2000]

Question: Are the inputs mixed, or are they switched? Meaning, will multiple devices like a TV and an Alexa device pass sound at the same time, or do you have to switch between them? I see they are 3 audio inputs.

[@tagay]

Mixed.

[@Seabutterfly1]

I have Klipsh 7.2.4 hooked up to an Onkyo Atmos home theater and they are fantastic. In my den I had the klipsh. And after a year I switched back to Logitech Z533 black and gold.

I have been rocking the z523 for around 8 years now and having issues with the 3.5 cable. I tried to repair it but noticed there is also a issue with the cable inside the satellite. I am on t he fence between the z623, z533 or z333.

[@zadimi_GoingCommando]

I had the old z623 and they were great, but I just bought the new ones, listened to a little bit of hardstyle (volume on half and bass a little over half) and now it sounds like the speaker has come loose. its not even the only problem, the music sounds flat and when I have the bass on half and turn it down slightly the bass just stops working. I honestly feel scammed, the old version of these speakers is amazing but this is not worth the money if you like loud music. the materials feel cheaper the bass box is smaller, just feels like a downgrade

[@anuraglahre725]

Hi bro,today I recieved this system. I have a query that do I need to turn on and off the power button everytime I have to use it or just keep the power button of the speakers turned on and just use the main switch(from where the power supply(electricity) is coming) to turn it on and off?

[@JayZoop]

You can maximize quality by going to sound settings and change the speaker from 16 bit 4800 Hz to 32 bit 4800 Hz.

[@NF650i]

Wrong, you actually loose quality. Unless your source material is 32-bit, which is very unlikely.

[@md.yousufali5164]

Suppose your speaker is playing, the power supply is gone. Will the power in the line actually makes the speaker sound immediately? Or will it gives sound with some time load? Kindly answer me...

[@PSkullKidDnazen]

if the speaker is on and power goes off it'll turn back inmediatly when power comes back cause the speakers have a hard switch the sound depends what you conected it to and if it got affected by the loss of power

[@megaboy2811]

If anyone is thinking about buying speakers in the 100$ pricerange the best you can get are the Edifiers 1280. The Logitechs tend to sound quite muddy, the bass is boomy and they aren't very detailed (they don't even have a tweeter, the Edifiers do tho). They might sound impressive for movies and games, because of the extra subwoofer, but ultimately they fall apart and quickly lose detail for anything more complicated e.g. in crazy action scenes you might find it hard to comprehend voices as they are overpowered by the bass or in music with lots of instruments you might not even hear some of them. The Edifier still have more than enough bass at this size tho and I think they even go quite a bit louder without distorting as much. This is not critiquing the review or anything, just a purchase recommendation for anyone in the market for a 100$ speaker set as it is objectively for most people the better purchase. If anyone needs a recommendation for a speakerset at any pricepoint feel free to hit me up, I researched quite a lot the past few months so I know the options quite well.
