Product ReviewsLogitech X-530 Computer Speakers

for the price, these speakers DELIVER!

i bought these speakers because i was having a party while my mom was out of town. i was tired of using the TV speakers and needed more of a bang! and boy do these deliver!!

Likes:
--Excellent sound
--nice design
--very affordable

Dislikes:
--Lack of optical audio
--uses ONLY 6-channel direct analog, no digital whatsoever.
--WIRES WIRES WIRES!

Bottom line:
for the price, this is a GREAT set of speakers that deliver crisp sound and is great for gaming/house parties, etc.
but if you're looking for options and customizability, spend a little more and get one with more inputs such as optical/coaxial and other bells and whistles.

P.S. - You'll need the Logitech Gaming adaptor to be able to use these speakers with your iPod/MP3 player.Read full review...

Nice for desktop music

These speakers are not stereo monitors but they are very good desktop speakers for playing music, games and the occasional movie. You're not going to hear orchestral sound you have never heard before on your prize CDs or mp3s; but if you play hip-hop, pop or rock there aren't any undiscovered sounds anyway and these guys might just blow you away considering their price point. These speakers offer fairly accurate, distortion free fidelity even at higher (for your desktop) volume levels. The highs aren't muffled, the base is strong and the midrange is actually pleasing. The overall effect is smooth, rich, moderately bright music that has depth and dimension packaged in a stylish dual cone configuration. Not a bad trick for under a hundred bucks.

My only complaint is that the wiring options are a little limited. The power button, volume nob and headphone jack are built into the case for the right speaker. The connecting cable between speaker and the Sub is a little short as is the cable for connecting to your soundcard's output jacks thus definitely limiting the placement of the Sub.

That being said, if you want a set of desktop monitors to critically listen to multidimensional orchestral music go out and pay the $400 (each) and up monitors will cost you. This set will not replace a moderately priced home entertainment system. If, on the other hand, you want to listen to some music while you work, or play some games, or watch a movie (or bother your partner in the next office through closed doors with the surprisingly robust volume this set is capable of)and decent sound is enough; than get these speakers.Read full review...

Speakers are a B+, but worth the buy for the price.

I purchased the speakers for my home office. Used for music and/or movie sound. The speakers provide a nice sound with average volume. I feel that the volume should be able to produce a much high level of sound than it does (better than average, but NOT great). Make sure your computer supports 5.1 or higher surround sound connections or you will NOT get the quality you expect from these speakers. Their should be three (3) connections on your computer used for speaker connection for these speakers to work properly.Read full review...

A good budget surround sound set.

The Logitech X-530 is a pretty decent budget surround sound speaker set. The satellites put out a fairly full-bodied sound, with decent resolution and treble response (considering the lack of tweeters). Midrange leans on the warm side but does not come off unnatural or nasally.

The X-530's biggest weakness is the bass - the subwoofer has the tendency to be boomy and lacks punch and definition. It's somewhat of a nitpick for a surround sound set that retailed for less than $100 and can easily be found for around $60, but if you can find its successor the X-540, then go for that instead (the bass issue is much improved in the X-540).Read full review...

One of the best 5.1 speakers sets

Got this X-530 set used after not being impressed with the latest 5.1 sets from Logitech. Sound awesome! Good overall response range, although i did boost the highs a little to get it to my liking. Sub is nice and deep overall, although it does respond best between 75 and 114 Hz. Love the easy-to-extend 3.5mm, DB9, and RCA connectors. Volume is still smooth with no crackles.Read full review...

Greate sounding sub for the money.

Bought the sub and the 5 speakers separately to make a complete 5.1 system. The bass is tight and adequately deep for the desktop system it is used with yet it is compact enough to fit behind my 34" ultrawide monitor. The amplifier in the sub drives all 5 speakers plenty loud without distortion.Read full review...

Logitech makes some good stuff, and this is no exception.,

This was the seconod set of these speakers that I have bought. Obviously, if they were no good, I would not have done this twice. I bought them because I had to leave the first set behind when we moved. They are really good for producing true surround sound, as long as you have a good sound card, or other stereo source. Small, with handy stands built in, or you can hang them very easily. They look good, while sounding great.Read full review...

For the money you cannot do any better period.

These speakers are LOUD, and not just loud, but incredibly high quality as well. Sound quality is superb, the bass is loud. Speakers just thump.

The first day I had them, I was setting them up to adjust the equalizer levels to make them sound perfectly. I didn't realize how incredibly loud the bass was at the time and to summarize. Basically my neighbors called the cops on me because they thought I was having a huge party.

These speakers are loud, crisp, and clear. I got mine for about $42. Sure you could do the same.Read full review...

Great sound-Fast Response-Accurately Detailed

These speakers speak for themselves, haven't seen anything but good reviews for them.
The sound is spectacular and loud if need be.
Customer shipped on time and although some of the speakers were a little cosmetically imperfect, it didn't bother me.
It won't effect the sound!!
Thanks again for the speakers man!

Sound system

The item works perfectly, once I fixed the pins on the db15 connector. They were bent out of shape, all I needed to do was straighten them up again and carefully line them up to the port on the sub woofer and everything works perfect. Just a note to others to be careful when making the connection. The speakers have full rich sound., better than most home theater systems. Love the ease of installation, everything is color coded. My wife and I are making others jealous with the sound quality of these. I loved them so much we bought a second set.Read full review...
