[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.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
