[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.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
