Speaker System Z323 with Subwoofer

Shipping took a while and I almost cancelled the order, but I'm glad I didn't. This is an older system and I'm not sure they still make it, but well worth the cost. I previously bought a more expensive system and returned it because of the tinny sound and lack of base. This system is head & shoulders above that system in sound and value. It was received new in original packaging and well protected in a shipping box. Recommended!!

Very good sound for the size. Easy to hook up. Small footprint on desk for speakers and on floor for subwoofer. Cords were all long enough for most hookups.

The bass is punchy, and the highs are clear -- and that's having both only turned up halfway. The knob on the front of the satellite makes it easy turn on/off, but I did put some whiteout in the hole to better see where the volume is set. The LED on above the knob helps identify if the speaker is on/off. It's a great fit for my home office without being over-the-top, and it's compatible with any device that has a headphone jack.

Bought these for my son to use with a Google Chromecast Audio. It's being saved for a Christmas gift, but we went ahead & opened it and tested it out to make sure it worked properly and was of good quality. Overall, it will be perfect for a 9-year-old that loves music. I was worried that the speakers were damaged during shipping, because although they were packed tightly in the Logitech box, there was no Styrofoam or padding of any kind. Then the Logitech box was packaged inside an Amazon box that was a bit big and instead of putting the normal air-filled plastic to fill up the space, there was just a crumpled up piece of brown paper on one side. I don't get it - Amazon ships my toilet paper with a dozen of those air-filled bags, but they send me my $50 speakers with no padding?? Sorry, I digress. Luckily, they were perfectly fine without a single scratch on them. The first time I tested them out, I set them up in our living room (large space, but only an 8' ceiling) & I used my Samsung Galaxy S7 to play some Pitbull on the Google Play Music app. I turned the bass and volume all the way up on the speakers and the volume on my phone about 2/3rd of the way up. It sounded just okay. The treble seemed slightly tinny and the bass was good but not great. And for $50 I was actually disappointed and told my husband to please check them out himself because I was of the opinion that they should be returned. Well, he hooked up the Google Chromecast Audio to them (since that is what my son will be using) and set them up in my son's room (smaller space than the living room, but has a cathedral vaulted ceiling). It sounded GREAT! So overall, I think the quality you get out of these is going to be dependent on what device you have them hooked up to. Maybe my phone's sound is not at the optimal settings. But if you hook a Google Chromecast Audio to these speakers, you won't be disappointed. They obviously don't sound as good as our 6 speaker surround sound system, but for $50 I think these are a good value.

I am...amazed. Flatly amazed. These speakers take up so little room on my desk, yet they put out such a big sound. When I first opened the shipping box I was thinking "This box is much too light to be this big.". Then when I got the shipping box open and found the product box inside and it was less than half the size of the shipping box I was stunned. It was almost tiny. The two speakers are about "normal" size for PC speakers. It's the subwoofer that's the surprising bit. It's approx 6 inches tall and 6 inches deep and 4 inches wide. And it hardly weighs much of anything. But it feels solid. Knocking on the sides you can tell that there's no internal bracing. It sounds hollow. And there's not much to the weight of it, so you know that there's hardly any material to the box itself; meaning that the sides are probably fairly thin. Maybe a quarter inch. But since the power output is only about 20 watts for the sub, then the box doesn't need much mass. After a 2 week break-in period I sat down with various pieces of music to get an all round feel for the sound these speakers are capable of. Pushing the speakers at 3/4 volume (sub set at 4/9) with Bad Company's "Electric Land", the bass was solid without a trace of flabbiness. Though the speakers did sound a little strained at the high sound level. Backing off slightly makes all the difference in the world. The fact that the speakers are bi-polar makes them actually disappear in the sound stage. Though, because the speakers only contain "one" driver they can't give you "room filling sound". You can definitely tell that these are small speakers. Leaving the settings exactly the same, and testing with various genre (except rap and opera, because I can't stand rap or opera) reveals that this initial impression was good across the spectrum. For $50 these PC speakers are spectacular performers. (PS: If they don't survive long or fail in some way before a years time, I'll come back and update this review.)

Before I purchased these speakers, I poked around on the internet looking for reviews. I wasn't sure about buying these because of some bad reviews. I don't regret it at all. They are amazing speakers with great sound quality and it takes less than 15 minutes to set them up. With the bass control, you can adjust it to wherever you like, loud, soft, or even none. The sound quality is very great, but not the best. Don't get me wrong, they still sound great. But when you start listening to very fancy speakers at about $300-400 they get even better. I think that the people who are giving the bad reviews are people who have had very nice speakers. The Bose computer monitor speakers have better sound quality, but they are $400. These are fabulous speakers. And for the price, you can't go wrong. So these speakers are pretty amazing. The sound quality is great, they look nice, they are easy to set up, and are just super cool. If you are a real speaker freak and know all about the good, the bad, and the ugly, then you may not like these. But as a novice, I'd say these speakers are at about a 4.5/5 stars. The sound quality is amazing, but could be better. I can't complain about it though because with the price, you can't go wrong. If you are looking for some fairly cheap and nice speakers with good sound quality that look nice, then you can't go wrong with the Logitech Z323 Speakers. (By the way, I have only listened to music with these speakers so far. I haven't tried it on my TV or XBOX yet. But music sounds amazing.)

Great sound for the money, and easy to assemble. I bought these to replace a smaller two speaker system which was shorting out and often stopped playing all together. The sound difference was amazing, granted I had to keep it down low since it was after 2 AM and my wife was sleeping in the other room. (can't sleep might as well do something, why not check out the new speakers that just arrived) I actually bought these to use in my classroom (school budgets do not allow for new speakers, so its out of my own pocket). Even though I will be using these in a room 6 times the size of my home office, I don't think it will be a problem, they sound way louder than the one's I have been using. I used to have a Harmon Kardon set of speakers with a powered base, but the cable shorted out and since it was a built in cable no way to replace. This setup has replaceable cables and was very easy to set up and if necessary the cable can be replaced. Its been my experience that most problems occur in the cables not the speakers themselves so this is a nice feature. I bought these as re-manufactured and honestly could not find anything wrong with them. They were bubble wrapped and snugly packed in a small box and showed no signs of damage from shipping. I don't know if a manual comes with a new unit, but it was so simple to setup that no directions were needed. I did check out a couple of you-tube videos and it was pretty straight forward. At first I got a clicking noise, but a quick check on the connectors and I found that just needed to seat the plug and the noise went away. Great Price, wish I had gotten these years ago and saved a lot of frustration with the cheap speakers I was using.

The sound is okay. There's nothing to really complain about that. However, there is something wrong with the right speaker. For the first few days, I noticed that the sound of my speakers only came out of the left speaker and only a small bit of the beat of a song would come out from the right speaker. I thought that was odd so I unplugged the right speaker and put it back in. Voila, it worked.. Fast forward two more weeks (I don't use the speakers much. They're only used when I'm using my macbook at home which is probably one or two times a week.)... The right speaker stops working again after only using it once or twice after the last time I fixed it. I go back and unplug it and replug it back in and it starts working again. It doesn't seem like a big problem but having to go under my desk every week to unplug and replug my speaker from the subwoofer will become a real big hassle. I suggest you get another brand.. Another thing. These speakers are extremely light which is not good. The SMALLEST bump will cause them to fall over making a pretty loud noise. No one wants their electronics to fall like that. UPDATE: Tested again after not using for one week. Dead right speaker again. It's going back! Update: When I returned it, I decided to do an exchange instead. This time, there was no problem with the right speaker and it worked as should. However, if the volume is too low or too high, there's a really loud/buzzing white noise coming from them. I looked online and they said it could be a power strip or something messing with it. I thought this was the case because I was using an old unbranded power strip. I then bought a really good Belkin one and put it in. Nope, still didn't fix it. Crappy speakers. Never again logitech.
