  • Strong audio performance. Remote has a ton of features. Works with Windows Media Center. Integrates iTunes and other media libraries. Powerful, but not boomy, subwoofer.
  • Complicated remote. Software can feel intrusive. Controlling Windows Media Player and iTunes remotely can be tricky. Subwoofer is large.
  • These speakers produce some solid low end and work well with Windows Media Center via the included, option-heavy remote. But controlling software remotely is not always intuitive....

  • Clear and balanced audio, great included remote
  • Reliance on software can be irritating, weak lower mid-range The Final Word Logitechs Z-Cinema will transform your PC into a mini home entertainment setup. If youre looking to use your PC for media related tasks, its an excellent option.

  • For a person who is sure they are going to be using a PC as their main entertainment hub, then Logitechs Z Cinéma is a sensible investment. Its not cheap, which counts against it a little. However, the system does have a genuine audio pedigree and y...

  • Exceptionally good sound for music. Convincing movie surround
  • Second-rate game voice mixing. Lack of flexibility. Annoying software interface
  • Despite more plastic frontage than Jordan, this is a damn fine speaker set. Shame about the reliance on USB and awful software though ...

  • Good sound in the right place, no rear speakers
  • No buttons so have to rely on remote, only works with PCs, unless you are in the sweet spot sound sounds flat
  • At £250 we expected more from Logitech and its Z Cinema speaker system for the PC

  • Design, Télécommande, Parfait pour les films
  • TruSurround & WOW inefficaces, Logiciel imposant
  • Un kit 2.1 efficace pour les films et les jeux, massif, mais toujours moins qu'un 5.1. Un bon choix pour les amateurs de films et de jeux....
