Strengths: High clarity , nice bass , conectivity , price
Weakness: White noise hiss, heard when very close to speakers,
First thing and the one noticeable flaw about them is the small amought of white noise heard when you are close to them from all speakers it's very little and will not be noticeable when playing music but due to this i can't give them a five star rateing. I soon forgot about that - point The clarity is impressive voices can be heard clearly. The bass is thumping and somewhat boomy however some...
Strengths: Great sound quality. Extremely loud. Audio in and headphone connectivity directly on control panel.
Weakness: Buttons on control panel feel cheap. Grills and remote could use a better design.
The speakers sound great. Not only is the sound quality way above average, but they are loud. In fact, the subwoofer is so loud, I'm glad the speakers have the option to adjust it's volume separately. Although the Klipsch might acheive more accurate highs, they are in a different price bracket. The grills snap on and off easily. The Audio in and headphone jacks on the control panel are very...
Strengths: sound, design, connection options, sturdy controll panel
Weakness: control panel is twice as big as I would like, even turned down they had a full sound, failing to mention hiss-killing-cure in manual
I bought these expecting quality sound, even at laud valume, crisp even playback of music, and mainly to "feel the explosions" in my games. I got way more then I expected, and my expectations were alot. I spent a while getting the bass volume just right (they get as load as you want). These have power, I had to clean off my desk and bookcase because everything that could rattle did, except the...
Strengths: Design, Sound Quality, Earthquake BASS!!!, Phase corector... I could write a book :)
Weakness: It's quite big propability that you'll get older version of Control pod firmware (1.0.3) The speakers wont work good. I returned mine. Bought them somewhere else and I got newer version (1.1.2)
Great Speakers!!!When they work:). Idon't want other speakers!!!But you have to watch out for sales.If they are cheaper than 300$ it's quite big chance that those are old version ones...Check the firmware (put them on stand by,and press two upper buttons simultainously,hold them,firmware version should appear on the display) If you got 1.1.something or higher it's ok. 10/16/03 - EDIT Don't buy...
Strengths: The phattest woofer out there today (188w), Great center speaker. Optical, Coaxial or simple analog connections, Built in DTS & Pro Logic II Decoders
Weakness: If no music or oter sound is played you can vaguely hear a faint hissing sound in ALL of the speakers, not just the center as most people say.. (how did this come through the THX standard)
The speakers are great. The only flaws would be the faint hissing sound and the only cable that comes with the package isn't gold plated, nor are the wires for the speakers sufficiently long (3x5 metres and 2x 2,5m)Nor are they copper.. crappy quality which I threw away almost immediately. Considering the great big wired remote (with nicely blue LCD display) got connections for Analog output,...
Strengths: Many inputs, Very loud, powerful bass and a great control pod and remote.
Weakness: The hiss is noticeable but moreso the clearity of the sound isn't there. Most mp3s give off some sort of raspy sound when it hits a certain range, the grainy hiss/distortion happens during vocals.
I previously had 3 sets of Klipsch 5.1s and all the subwoofers died on these units. I exchanged them at bestbuy for these logitechs and noticed the hiss/distortion right away and bought new speaker cables...the sound was still distorted so i returned these and got a new pair, the hiss and distortion was still there...I'm wondering if anyone else notices this type of distortion coming from the...
Strengths: Outstanding - one of the best speaker systems I've heard at ANY price.
Weakness: None
Add my voice to the chorus... this is an outstanding speaker system, and absolutely the best bargain to be found. I have it hooked directly to the DVD with an optical input... the imaging is superb. It beats home theater systems I've heard costing 10X more. Logitech has a winner here... the only thing I've thought of that could make it even better would be on-screen display for use with the...
Weakness: HISS
Just received a new set of Z-680s and have the same hissing problem that another user describes below: "As for the hissing, the hissing on the logi's (the set I had) wasn't a normal hiss (for the record my pm's don't hiss at all until they are at 70 of 80 volume) I could unplug the 680's from the computer and turn them all the way down, and they would still hiss audibly from 3-4 feet, logitech...
Strengths: AWESOME BASS!! AWESOME SAT'S!! AWESOME SOUND!!
Weakness: slightly involved setup... about 30 mins time
this z-680 speaker system is the best i've ever listened to!! i dont know what "hiss" pple are talkin about... mine dont do it. and durn, the bass is so loud that if u turn it up more than halfway, it rattles EVERYTHING!! sounds sooooooooooooo good!! i highly recommend this system.

Logitech Z-680 PC Multimedia Speaker System
Strengths: Extremely good sound quality. Bass is surprisingly powerful.
Weakness: The control pod is relatively large. Would be nice to have RCA jacks as an input.
I received these speakers two days ago, and they are better than I expected. I read all the reviews I could find on the Z-680s, and I was worried about the hissing that many people complained about. After setting them up, I held my ear close to the speakers, and could detect a faint hiss, but once I spread them across the living room, I couldn't notice it. The sound from these speakers is...
