[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.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
