Complicated remote. Software can feel intrusive. Controlling Windows Media Player and iTunes remotely can be tricky. Subwoofer is large.
Controller isnt wireless and offers only power and volume options.
Bass is crisp and clean, Very attractive looking unit with hidden amber display, Full digital sound that bypasses sound card, Media Center controls
Way too expensive for what it is, Virtual surround sound is less than spectacular, Audio quality is not where it should be, No physical controls on speakers themselves
I’m normally a pretty big fan of what Logitech has to offer. I like their computer mice, webcams, and other peripherals. They’ve also done a reasonably good job with budget speakers, but I feel that they dropped the ball on this premium virtua...
Expensive at $299, Not as good as real surround sound system
The Logitech Z Cinema Advanced Surround Sound System is a very good compromise for the PC user who doesnt have the room for a full surround sound system. The only real drawback to the entire system is the cost at $299. ...
Abstract: Logitech has been placing emphasis on sound quality as is evident with the last several speaker systems we have reviewed. While the Z Cinéma system is not cheap ($300 retail), it does offer users with a great sounding speaker package that integrates we...
The Logitech Z Cinéma Advanced Surround Sound System is a high quality amplified 2.1 speaker set that is a great match for multimedia center computers. The SRS TruSurround HD mimics a true surround system without the need for extra speakers, although...

The Logitech Z Cinema is an excellent option when surround sound is desired but space is not available. While sound quality is exceptional, true audiophiles will find the Z Cinema inadequate to appease their appetites for a full surround system. Pros &...
Crisp, balanced full-range sound, Beefy subwoofer delivers knockout punch, Integrated IR receiver and included Media Center remote, Stays clean at high volumes, Surround sound from two speakers,
Limited tone adjustments, Clunky software and on-screen display
To be honest, my time with the Z Cinéma speaker system left me feeling fairly vindicated in my earlier view that virtual-surround algorithms would be the next major advancement in high-performance surround sound on the desktop. The Z Cinéma system tru...
Decent sound quality, Remote works very well, Easy installation
Expensive, A few interface issues, “Surround” sound is so-so
The Z Cinema is an interesting approach to integrating a home theater PC remote with a set of better-than-average speakers. Overall the package accomplishes most of the goals it set out to achieve, making it somewhat easy to control a wide range of med...
