[Review] Logitech z-5500


Recommended Posts

Thse babies are rocking on! And there is truly nobody who can deny the power of those considering the price. You get it all for an amazing price: clear mid, sharp vocals, bombastic, absolutely heavy bass, no matter whether you are listening to a Celine Dion CD, the newest one from 3 Guys Never In or Strapping Young Lad you always get superb sound quality and no remarkable hissing at all.

Those Klipsh users are just jealous cuzz they've paid way too much for a minimally better sound quality.?:devil::

I have both. Klipsch has much better quality. And no hissing at all either.

Sweet...I just ordered a set of Z-5500s from Dell today for $245 SHIPPED. What a steal...and hopefully they're the new version with the spring-clip wiring.

If anyone's interested in how I got that deal, see here: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messagevie...=435629&start=0

LOL, now wait a minute, they ARE lying to me (in that good way):

DHL

Tracking # xxxxxxxxx

Shipped Date: Tuesday, February 08, 2005

Estimated Ship Date: 2/23/2005

I just ordered it about 6 hours ago and it's already shipped, even though the estimated ship date was 2 weeks! Cool...I should be able to post my own thoughts on the system later this week.

Mine came in from Dell yesterday, set them up and they sound great. I think they'll sound even better after I get my dedicated sound card (using Asus A8N-SLI onboard sound right now).

By the way, I DID get the newer ones with the spring-clip NON-attached wires! So good news for everyone who's thinking about getting these...looks like Logitech listened to the reviewers!

I just realized the newer version is NOT built in wire speaker. The newer version has the same line as the Z-680. Each speaker has black and red jack on the back. I just got the speakers last week and I got the newer version. If you guys got the one with the built in wire speaker.

Hmmmm, return it or sell it on ebay. :laugh:

welcome to page 28! :laugh:

I just picked these up for an amazing price off of logitech.com, $264.97 (cdn) researched the hell out of them and couldn't resist, sold my 5300's to a friend for 80 bucks. I'm actually happy they're backordered cause now I'm certain I am getting the newer version :)

I'm also insanely happy that shipping only costs 18 bucks as opposed to NCIX's 60 bucks!

I love being in the employee purchase program, can't wait :D

Yep, I finaly got mine!!! VERY nice speakers! And it's the new version, with detachable cables....

You can't have better speakers right now... Good work Logitech!!!!

Works great with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS with digital coax connection.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
