NOT What We Expected! - Logitech G560 Computer Gaming Speakers

RGB strikes again and this time on the G560 computer speakers from Logitech. This DEFINITELY wasn't what we were expecting from a brand that's been known for subtle lighting on their peripherals. but does the light show cover up for flaws in the sound quality and overall performance?

I've never liked Logitech's speakers, I personally feel like my Klipsch 2.1(Non-BT) are the absolute best speakers for under $150 they only fall short on bass frequency response.

[@proudcanadian9816]

No argument there on the Klipsch. Back when the Z-5500's were available, the 5.1 version from Klipsch was also available. But they were out of my snack bracket at the time. So I did some more research on the Logitech's and went with those. But I remember every time I would go into Futureshop, I would salivate over them every time :))

[@Gambit33]

Klipsch ProMedia is a much better speaker system than this overpriced Logitech. $100 cheaper, better sound quality, and more powerful. Unless you enjoy wasting money, want a smaller speaker setup, and need that ridiculous RGB bling, ProMedia craps all over this Logitech.

For those on console.. Yes, these Logitech speakers do pick up audio from your console. However, you will need a monitor that has the headphone/audio output. For instance, the Asus VG245H or any monitor that has a headphone jack port. :)

Can you not just plug the usb cable into the console?

With driver conflicts causing havoc on my new system(Ryzen 3800x, TuF Gaming 570x and RTX 2070 super), intermittent loss of sound, distracting lights, being told I need different apps to make this system work I finally returned them and got the Pro media 2.1's from Klipsch. The Pro media's maybe old but damn those clear high's, crisp mid's and punchy bass are phenomenal. I plugged them in and not a problem since.

[@rampatra]

Great review. For the RGB to sync with the game, do we have to connect with an extra cable or the micro USB cable used for audio will do? In other words, does audio and RGB sync require two separate cables or one? Also, what microphone do you use? The audio quality is great.

[@henrynguyen7118]

Where would you put the subwoofer? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I want to know where I would put it.

[@chrisdeguia4764]

So I just ordered a razer chroma. And I would say in recent memory this is the most practical purchase. I saw a different video comparing the g560 and chroma. It wasn't until this video that I realized the practicality of my purchase. I live in mobile home so, a subwoofer would have been house shaking. I don't even use the woofer on my current dell basic pc speakers. Second, my walls are painted dark green. I feel like the g560 would need a white background to be stunning as it is in the video. On top of that I have a tapestry of the Los Angeles skyline. Third my setup is cramped as it is, fitting the nommos will be a challenge, but as this review states you need enough distance to take advantage of the g560s. Overall the nommos just ticked various boxes for the practicality of my setup and environment. If I had a different house/room I am sure I would have went with the g560s.

[@SeanErixon]

I actually got the G560 after the glowing reviews from some of my favorite KZbin channel's(Hardware Canucks included obviously). But I'm still frustrated that Logitech couldn't add the option to swap between the plugged in headphones and the speakers via G button toggle? There's gotta be a way(instead of the obvious - reaching to the back of the speaker every single time to plug/unplug the headphones).

[@AffeAffelinTV]

if you connect the speakers via USB an external DAC is used, so you should be able to switch in windows from motherboard out and usb out (i.e. headphones and speakers)

[@ALT-HEX]

I'm returning these tomorrow. I added extended warranty for these at Microcenter, which allows you to return them for a gift card if not satisfied, solely because I read mixed reviews. These speakers are terrible. The sound is decent but they have some real shotty drivers. The Lightsync works half the time, the live desktop is delayed, and games have muffled audio. Even when tweaking 2.1/7.1 settings both via windows and G software, they kind of work/kind of don't with games like FarCry. I end up tossing on a headset instead. They are a pain in the ass to work with. I'm taking them back tomorrow and just picking up a real pair of 2.1s like some Klipsch. If I want RGB I'll add the new Hues.

[@aryana3520]

I hope Logitech makes 5.1 channel version of this G560 speaker ! They look good but I am looking for 5.1 speakers

Kerim Djigirkhanov Second this comment

[@SeanOMatic]

Yes! You can use the LGS reactive lighting and have another sound device working. For example, I use Corsair Void Pro gaming headset over wireless USB and the lighting still works on the G560, as long as it is connected via USB. The G560 doesn't have to be the default audio device on your PC for the lighting to work. In fact, you can even use modes like Audio Reactive with a headset set to default, so the audio plays via headset, but the G560 does reactive lighting. Also, these are Bluetooth compatible and have a 3.5MM audio jack, so they will work with consoles, you just need a PC to control lighting and other LGS functions.

Toffsen100 Overkill is what we want XD I'm running the best possible speaker i can afford for a desk.If you can't appreciate great audio its not really worth it.But for me , I can justify the price tag.

[@hrwells9698]

RIP razer nommo

[@MrTone71]

Yep, Razer just lost a customer here; been waiting to get the Nommo Chroma but going to get these instead.

[@Montisaquadeis]

For half the price the Nommo still has my dollar over these. I don't care for RGB and I am NOT a bass head either so super powerful bass is NOT needed either.

[@itsJaLie]

Invest on razer leviathan they're good and powerful enough compare to nommo

[@flightsimdev9021]

I bought the Z680 back in 2005 still using it and apart from the LCD dying 2 years ago, it is still the best sound system on my PC I've had, and my PC has changed 5 times in that time. I just bought these for work PC looking forward to them arriving.

[@ezzelofficial7563]

How are they? 3 years late, but still..

[@flightsimdev9021]

@@ezzelofficial7563 Z680 is still too loud for me, bass is great and low (40Hz), although the sound card isn't the greatest (Audigy 5x) but boy can you make a party really rock and roll.

[@HeTianHeng]

Upgraded from the X-350 to the HT-S9700 ... huge investment and a difficult decision but I would deffo do it again!

[@NeoJoris]

Philips Ambx "knockoffs". Available since 2007, Philips patent probably ended...

[@SeanOMatic]

Those sound horrible and haven't had any game support since release.

[@NeoJoris]

Sean Sinha hmm I did not have that issue with mine.

[@NeoJoris]

Sean Sinha but you cán make your own profiles...

[@laurensbartelds7407]

Whow those are ugly... 0_0

[@NecroMorrius]

Haha christ I remember ambX. That's a blast from the past

[@TheodorBourelius]

is there a way to change the amount of subwoofer?

[@Eber.Antony]

theodor bourelius Unfortunately no. I really wish they had a bass knob but if you play around with the software EQ, you might be able to tone the low ends a bit.

[@TheodorBourelius]

Eber Antony that is a pretty important feature for me :c

[@rayshagar1011]

Great video man. Seriously considering getting these!

[@lukehastie5620]

i got these bad boys the other day! they are awsome.. where are you putting the sub though?

[@SeanOMatic]

I reviewed these a couple of weeks ago and came away with the same thoughts vs. the Nomma and Katana. Good job, Eber. - Sean @ Legit Reviews.

[@YoloVib3s]

Do they link via Bluetooth as well? would be cool to play music on these while I stream on my headset.

[@SeanOMatic]

You can play Bluetooth audio through them, from a phone, etc. Not sure if they'd work with a Bluetooth headset since the Bluetooth feature is more for input. You can't pair them with a Bluetooth speaker and have that play the PC audio, for example. I am sorry, I don't think I am answering your question, properly.

[@satanspy]

wowowow hold on now..did you just call a 17 second video a review? i just want to be clear on that.

[@SeanOMatic]

My video is a portion of a long form text review that was done at Legit Reviews, a fifteen year old independent hardware review site. Google= G560 Review, Legit Reviews. My review was a little over 5,000 words, for the record. I just want to be clear on that. (The link to the review is in the video description. I did an extensive review of the G560 in a three day period and had my review up at embargo break.)

[@SeanOMatic]

I love how you came over here to make salty comments to people. Having a shitty day?

[@cubertmiso]

"Logitech dominates speaker industry" :D :D D: Buy used, proper gear, if you don't need RGB.

[@felixbelanger2659]

I still have my Logitech X530 I bought for 80$ CAD more than 10 years ago and while the "mesh" on the speakers has a couple of tears, they still work great!

[@warl0ck666]

I have a Logitech Z-3 which I purchased 10 years ago. Still working perfectly. Are these any better?

[@gamesmaker1]

just get the wavemaster 50w, costs 150 euro and looks great

[@neilwu3912]

Bought them, bass was extremely poor. It came damaged so I returned them, then settled for an older, cheaper set that sounded way better. The lights do nothing

[@randyhutajulu5391]

Sir, if u dont mind, may i have your Premiere color grading setting? i'm really amazed by your color grading style. thank u so much sir. keep up the good work

[@francismanalo2154]

HI. I am not sure if it was mentioned in the video or maybe I missed it. When it comes to listening to music, does the light sync change as well? Thanks!

[@altayab]

This is so lame. This product is a total gimmick and more of a lighting product than an audio product. I have the Logitech Z623 2.1 system and for way less money they are way better speakers.

[@jagsfanrick]

A B me too

[@Juice27FromGA]

A B I have the same system and love it but would be nice to have a more modern look.

[@MegaDominik1]

Same here and love it too. Just bt is missing but thats not that important, im just to lazy to buy a 3.5mm bt connector. Bought it like 5 - 6 years ago and still totally fine. Was on sale a few days ago for 75 € here in germany.

[@denhamvaras-curl9881]

I have the same speakers, but I'm gonna upgrade to this. I've had the Z623's for almost 8 years, the sound is great, I would like a modern look and slightly clearer audio though.

[@austincheney8598]

I have them, too theyre great. Only thing I like better about the g560 is the slick look

[@pengyong3553]

stop rubbing snake oil on us .

[@klokworkgaming4391]

Hey Eber., thanks for the recommendations! I bought the the Soundblaster Katana from your reviews. Compared to my old Logitech 5.1 speakers, they kicked so much ass. I saw this today, and was like "Oh shit, did i miss out." Thanks for comparing the two of of em. I'm glad i got the katana because of my setup doesnt face the wall. That and I dont need the RGBS (yest i turned the katana's off) lol. Though i will have to recommend this to my roommate. Keep up the good work and thanks for all that you do. Cheers!

[@darksd3626]

Few years later...still waiting for them to fix the bass levels which were to high in the beginning and now are all but gone after. Also would be nice if they TURNED ON WITH THE COMPUTER...instead of having to pull the cord every day. That's an exaggeration, I mostly use my Corsair Void Pros, but I do see when the speakers failed to launch when my color scheme gets fucked and it's pretty frequent...just can't win... Short of that, they are absolutely amazing. Sound amazing to me, beautiful back light, look very professional and clean, just riddled with software management issues...but totally worth the money IMO! I spent 350$ on a corsair keyboard that works as good as any 100$ one, so obviously there's more to it than it's primary feature that I rank. It feels like it'll last my life time, but with issues that haven't been resolved... eventually their lack of support will break it as they move forward. Your need for a remote is baffling. They are meant for a pc using the software. Convince them to fix their issues, not add more to them lol Or an idea, the software to be controlled by phone... but who changes their desktop color that often considering my setup alone has like 5 levels of color control for different peripherals...or more... imagine having 5 remotes just for color... easier to tune and customize with all windows open at the same time; to me at least.

[@sternkrieger1950]

$200 for a 2.1 setup, pathetically small subwoofer and tweeterless satellites when you can get something like the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 for under $150. There are cheaper 5.1 speakers with real surround sound. Plus, Logitech audio equipment in general sounds awful. If you need RGB, just tape some RGB strips on the back of your satellites.

[@Speed_7545]

Look at genelec's, they actually have good sound quality, no subwoofer,although u can buy one seperately. But genelec's are in the thousands € range if u buy 2 small ones with a sub. If u buy two small ones no sub: ~600€. But they are worth it.

[@Gambit33]

Yup, got my ProMedia 2.1 THX for $95 from BuyDig. It's a far superior PC speaker system and $100 cheaper than this Logitech. Logitech is just trying to rip off gamers who don't know any better or do any research. They're trying to cash in on the RGB craze and jacking up the price on this speaker system.

[@g496r500t]

Douchebags Refuted wrong not everything is even better in stereo

[@dannyeetson5561]

The rgb feature is basically half the price

[@hawkeyes4768]

WTH this is impressive for a speaker and only 200 wth

[@gen2428]

Dunno if this is negative or positive..

[@samuelbaird4983]

Gen242 He definitely sounds positive

[@BrettAnderson3]

idk either not definitely.... definitely

[@potato877]

Gen242 yeah, I kind of feel a little bit of sarcasm.

[@BoyarsMedia]

My used passive speakers were $13 and sound better. Amp with Bluetooth were extra $30. Bass is weak but better than most Bluetooth speakers at any price point.

[@SoudedFakhry]

The video montage is unreal, great job

[@trinhk]

What would you recommend for non gaming? I prefer those for movies, youtube or just general listening with great quality audio.
