Logitech X-530

By Nathaniel Wilkins, CNET.com on 25 November 2004

Although it lacks the power and the clarity of some speakers, the X-530 set provides a cheap way to add respectable 5.1-channel surround sound to your computer.

    we bought these speakers a few months ago and they seemed ok, but now they have started to make really bad distorting sounds and you can't hear anything but the noise.

    • Good: Nice sound quallity.
      Good value for money.
      Powerful sub.
    • Bad: Cant turn sub noise off completely.

    Anyone who is looking for a mid-range 5.1 speaker system, i reccomend it. Its only those people that are really fussy that complain lol.

    • Good: *Good sound
      *Very Cheap
      *Not Heavy
    • Bad: *Bass Could do better!
      *Much Longer wires

    These Speakers are great for everyday use on a computer However the Sub seem to have created a rattling sound in deep bass in muisc,Film,Games...Etc Does Anybody know how to Solve this problem?

    • Good: Very Cheap
      Satellites are very loud
      A/V Adaper Included
      Good sound quality for it's price
    • Bad: Rear speaker cables a bit too short
      Subwoofer is weak
      Subwoofer rattles
      No remote or control centre

    I've had them for three weeks and they're a nice system, I use it for my iPod with the games console adapter. The only thing I don't like is the subwoofer. Could anyone reccoment a compatible sub-$100 Subwoofer that goes well with it (30-40 watts range)?
    My X-530 Sub makes a rattling noise whenever there is a particularly deep bass note. Is this a problem with my set in particular or is the system made like that?

    If you know the answer to either of my questions, could you please email me on dazza359@hotmail.com.

    • Good: Simple setup. No digital box to stuff around with, easy and clear to read manual (not that I needed it)
    • Bad: you may find that the rear satellite speaker cables are not long enough, however the cables are standard, and an extension is quite cheap to obtain.

      No digital inputs, however I didn't need them and was glad I didnt have to pay for them.

      No remote (but i didn't want one anyway)

    Great set of speakers at a bargain price

    I paid $98, and they immensely better than the standard two that came on the big screen sony tv.

    If you are looking for a professional setup, these are not for you, however for simplicity of setup and cheap price, these are excellent value.

      *Easy to install

    Great Value

    Great sounding system. It performs well with games and is great for dvd movies. If enriches the quality of the sound.
