Neat cutout "mod" option.

The editors didn't like
Bass drowns out the rest of the sound in most scenarios
Subwoofer crossover seems to be set too high
Cables are permanently attached to speakers
Z5500 is just $60 more
And so much better
Short rear satellite speaker wires. Satellites sound a tad harsh and lack depth.
Controller isnt wireless and offers only power and volume options.
Not very loud
Limited speaker wire.
Soso sound. Subwoofer cable too short.
Not particularly detailed sound
Sub can sound muddy when pushed
No wall-mounting hardware included
Subwoofer is decent but not super-powerful
Lack of definition when listening to music or movies
Minor
Odd warbling effect when using “Game Matrix Mode”.
In the end, when all is said and done, we ended up with two minuses. One is short cables and the other is modes. If your room is smaller first minus won’t be a problem for you. But, the second reproach will. “Matrix” and “Music&rdq...
Abstract: Video Review: Kudos goes to Logitechs G51 speaker system. A well-priced, great sounding, surround sound speaker system for your computer. The controls are great too, although the speakers didnt come with mounting brackets. Check out our review to se...

The G51 is a very attractive package for the money and leaves us very little to complain about. It provides better-than-average sound quality and power, and is reasonably affordable too, slotting in perfectly between the high-end Z-series speakers and ...

Overall, the G51 is an excellent option for someone looking for a pure gaming surround speaker solution. While it doesnt exactly excel in sound quality, what do you expect for $140? The addition of gamer-specific features like skinning and the control...

Best 5.1channel surround system for the price; neat cutout "mod" option.
Sounds great connected to MP3 player or PSP (2-channel to 5.1-channel).
Not very loud, Limited speaker wire.
After using a set of Speakers like the Logitech Z-5500s for about a year it’s a little hard not to be judgmental. Keeping in mind that the G51 Speaker System was designed to provide 5.1-Channel Audio to 2-Channel sources we can appreciate the value...
