    I've got a super old logitech z5500 which absolutely booms (bass wise). Last week, it stopped working

    Would the z623 deliver much less bass?

    • encoderboy on 05/12/2017 - 23:18

      Can't directly compare your old z5500, but I have this set, and it has a bass control pot.

      I have it set at about 50% and it sounds fairly well balanced to me.

    • ttwaite on 05/12/2017 - 23:23

      Equivalent would be z906

    • ozturtle on 05/12/2017 - 23:34
      +1

      Well, as the other poster said - the Z906 is the modern equivalent, but both are pretty much on par for bass.

      If you need surround go for the Z906, if you don't these are a great option for the price.

      • ycon on 06/12/2017 - 07:44

        Well, I'm only using the woofer / controller module from the z5500. I'm using 2 random creative satellite speakers for the rest of the sound.

        Worked for years, then yesterday one satellite speaker is extremely soft, and the other just bursts out static.

        Any ideas?

          Sounds like loose wires shorting on the speakers (including the connecting wires).

    • Scab on 06/12/2017 - 07:13

      I have both, the 5500 is louder and has more bass, but the bass on the 623 is much tighter and not as boomy.

    • vsin116 on 06/12/2017 - 08:17

      Tried replacing the fuse in the Sub?

      • narz on 06/12/2017 - 08:49

        This. I have had to replace mine many times over the years. My unit especially doesn't like being moved or nudged when power is connected (ie when vacuuming floors).

        • ycon on 06/12/2017 - 14:25

          What was the issue that caused you to replace the fuse?

        • narz on 06/12/2017 - 18:39

          @ycon: The fuse can just randomly blow. The system wont power on and looks to be dead until you replace it.

        • ycon on 06/12/2017 - 19:27

          @narz: hmm probably not that- the system runs fine, it's just the satellite speakers which are suddenly almost all static and super faint… I tried all outputs, inputs and a new aux

        Horrible sound quality though, so I would only recommend that adapter if you are deaf.

  • Panama on 06/12/2017 - 00:28

    I googled reviews for it and my first hit was from 2010. I'm a bit of technological slowpoke, are Logitech products refreshed annually or is this the 2010 model still?

    • BoomTetrisForJeff on 06/12/2017 - 01:42

      yes its the same one, in my experience the older logitechs sound better than the modern stuff

    • BradH13 on 06/12/2017 - 16:18

      They haven't replaced the model. It's still the current. Speakers don't really go obsolete. Haha. My unit FROM 2010 still works as it did the day I bought it.

    Best bang-for-buck 2.1 speakers on the market. Always the first thing I recommend to friends/family.

    • garage sale on 06/12/2017 - 03:07

      we have 2 in our household …. one in my study and my son has one. it’s one of the nicer 2.1systems as the speakers are nice and large so better midrange and sound more special.

      not many options in 2.1 for $100 that have decent size drivers.

  • Fobsessive on 06/12/2017 - 02:15
    +2

    Can this be plugged into a TV? Sorry for the noob question

    • garage sale on 06/12/2017 - 03:11

      yes, it’s a powered speaker set up so has built in amp in the sub woofer, and it’s stereo like most TVs.
      sound much better than a sound bar though not as inconspicuous.

      • choofa on 06/12/2017 - 07:22
        +2

        Not necessarily, it depends on your TV. A lot of old TVs don't have audio output, and many newer TVs only have digital audio output which these speakers do not support.

        FWIW, this would not work with any of the TVs in my house.

        • s4sep on 06/12/2017 - 07:56

          Pretty sure you can just plug it into the headphone jack… Unless your tv also doesn't have a headphone jack.

        • Scab on 06/12/2017 - 08:17

          @s4sep:

          You can, that's how I have mine hooked up.

          And you can use the TV remote to control volume

    How would these compare to your average soundbar for a lounge TV? I don't need the full cinema experience, just looking at an improvement over the crappy inbuilt TV speakers.

    • CocaKoala on 06/12/2017 - 10:35
      +1

      This would be a massive improvement over the inbuilt TV speakers (think about it - this unit is THX certified).

      It will also outperform the "average soundbar" on pretty much every scenario conceivable. Especially at this price, I'm not aware of a soundbar that could come close to matching the output quality. It's a bargain at this price, mate.

      • happykamper on 06/12/2017 - 10:50
        +1

        Thanks for the feedback. After reading up, what kind of kills it for me is the fact it has no optical input, and my TV has no 3.5mm output. So without something like a receiver, I can't directly connect this to my TV.

        • Scab on 06/12/2017 - 10:53
          +1

          It has RCA/3.5, so you could get an optical to RCA adapter or optical to 3.5.

        • happykamper on 06/12/2017 - 11:40

          @Scab: Thanks for the reply. Adapting from electrical to optical actually isn't cheap enough to make this a deal for me. Unfortunate, because this is a great price.

      • Diji1 on 06/12/2017 - 12:31

        think about it - this unit is THX certified

        You don't know what that is do you.

        • Fobsessive on 06/12/2017 - 13:35

          It's all about the decibels!

          Have you anything productive to add here other than posting a condescending, useless one-liner? I suppose not, but I'll answer your question.

          I do know what THX certification is. I also own an Altec Lansing MX5021 (no longer in production), which as well is THX certified and will blow anything else on its price point out of water.

    • Scab on 06/12/2017 - 10:51
      +1

      Much better sound than a soundbar, especially for the price.

      Only drawback for me is that they obviously won't turn off power with the TV, I don't like leaving them on all the time so I use a radio-controlled remote mains switch.

      It's a bit of a pain as I have to turn them on and off as well as the TV, but apart from that they're great.

  • Gnosh on 06/12/2017 - 13:31

    I'll share my experience with these speakers. I got them from a Bing Lee deal for around this price delivered, approx 2 years ago.

    Sound is great and lots of bass for the size. Was very impressed initially.

    After only a little while I noticed a lot of crackling when turning the unit on/off. Also when changing the volume. Then, over time the on/off button stopped working. I'd need to press it multiple times to get the unit on, until it just ceased working completely one day.

    Apparently this is a widespread issue, due to a poorly designed contact point behind the switch. It clogs up with dust. If you google search the issue with this model you will see plenty of people with the same problem.

    You can fix it temporarily by blowing behind the buttons/dials or taking it apart and blasting it with air when it gets bad. I was so frustrated I eventually rewired the power to a new switch. Now something else has gone in the unit, causing a constant buzzing noise. So these are going in the trash after 2 years.

    • ChubbyMastiff on 06/12/2017 - 13:52

      That sucks, but I've been using mine for 2 years and have never turned it off. I'm I the only one that never turn off my speakers?

      • CocaKoala on 06/12/2017 - 22:36

        I was going to respond with the SAME content. So no, it's not just you who never turns it off. :-)

        It's plugged in every day, all day, and I will turn off power to it from the power outlet board when I need to (like I'm going out for the weekend or such).

    • BradH13 on 06/12/2017 - 16:28

      One of my sets is 7 years old now, and I haven't had any crackling, or buttons stop working, although I never turn them off. They're powered on 24/7 for that whole 7 years.

      The other is 3 years old without issue.

      I honestly don't think they're worth turning off, causing the switch to stress. The power use would be minimal without signal being fed through them.

    • halley on 06/12/2017 - 18:20

      I've had the exact same issue. I bought mine close to when these were released many many years ago. I took it apart and fixed it… But I forgot what I did. Fixed it years ago. But it still works now. I snapped the logo off when i did it though. It was quite annoying.

      Logitech wouldn't help me because I was just passed warranty at the time.

      Anyway, because of that experience and how wide spread the issue is (seen online) i personally wouldn't buy another one of these. Maybe at under $40, i would. Maybe. I would rather save the money and get a z906.

      Hopefully these newly manufactured ones have fixed this problem.

    People rave about these speakers. I bought a set at $100. I was disappointed.

    Overall my older 5.1 X-530, X-540 sets are louder for mids and highs, though the 623 has got bass. It also buzzes more than the 5.1s.

    Can't fault the price. But wouldn't buy them again.
