    Only had it for a day but so far so good. If your after big bassy sounds then this is your unit.

    • Good: Great sound, good price.



    • Bad: couldn't they design it with a remote?
      Physically large and heavy.

    these set of speakers are by far one of the best ive ever bought... its got good sounds, good base and good treble(depends on the music you listen to) i was going to decide on buying the Bose Companion 5 to replace with the current logitech speakers that ive got... but after listening to them... i really couldnt tell the difference... and this is listening to the same music before i left the house... and put the same music on my usb and tried it on the Bose system... So i pretty much will stick to my logitech till it blows up on me!

    • Good: very good sound! still can beat your home theatre system anyday! but u dont get the surround sound thats all. A nice big (and i mean BIG) subwoofer to go with the nice clarity on the speakers.
    • Bad: nothing that i can see realli....

    well i purchased this speakers and to say they were the best when i bought them but after about a month my cord began to only play through one speaker so i have to sit thier twisting my cord every time till it plays through both speakers overall awsome still

    • Good: great bass
      no distortion
    • Bad: my cord plays through one speaker
      long run bass tends to lose power

    these are the best set of speakers ive ever owned... there loud, bassy and look great... before i bought these speakers i was trying to decide between the Z-2300 for $160 and the Z-5500 for $430... after buying the speakers they were easy to set up and i was suprised how good they went...

    the only downside i did notice was when you turned them up real loud they would make a popping noise... and i would of liked them to go louder... but in saying this they are the best bang for your buck

    a few weeks later one of my friends bought the Z-5500 and when i went to his house i was very dissapointed and glad i didnt spend the extra $250 for them... i didnt notice a big change in the loudness and bass compared to my Z-2300...

    I LOVE THEM!

    • Good:
      -stylish and compact for the sound
      -clear sound
      -quite loud for the size of it
      -bassy
      -never distorts
      -cheap
    • Bad:
      -only 2.1ch
      -could have more wattage
      -made popping noise when volume up to loud

    I've hooked the Z-2300 to a Sony Bravia LCD via the headphone port & everything movies, music, MTV,even the ads sound fantastic! For $200 it's unbelievable value.

    • Good: Clear, punchy, lovely bass. Easy setup. Lots of power. Nothing under $500 comes close.
    • Bad: Fixed speaker cables. Bass more powerful than sats but can be adjusted.

    Love the speakers, but I am having connectivity issues with the right speaker jack. Sometimes the right speaker works and sometimes not. If anyone has had similar issues please let me know how you fixed the problem.

    • Good: Great sound for the price!
    • Bad: Reliability hit and miss as my right speaker only works part time.

    Hi All,
    i have had the speakers for a week i have to say its good bang for what u have payed for!!! i have a 5.1 panasonic unit with a sony 12inch sub and THE LOGITECH is a lot clearer, but the mid range is S@#t house in windows media player u have to trun down the mid range in the equilizer

    • Good: good bang for your buck !!
    • Bad: crap mid range

    I got these bout 6months ago... At the time i was undecided between these and the Altec Lansing MX5021. Both systems are similarly priced, same configuration 2.1 (2 satellies and a subwoofer), both are THX certified, and made by well established companies.

    But that's where the similarities stops. The logitech z2300 is made for its strong powerful bass, which can be overwhelming at time. Eg. when you listen to rock music, the acoustics of the guitar isn't very well produced. I guess that's due to the fact logitech only used one full-range driver per satellite. But if your into Bass Heavy music then you wouldn't mind the of poor trebles, and muddy mid-range. I've used the speakers for my ps2 and my computer and in most applications i've found there's more bass then my ears can handle. At half volume, with the sub volume at full it's enough to shake my living room and can hear the music outside the house!

    The altec mx5021's although not as powerful (peak power 90RMS vs logitech's 200RMW) is much more refined. It has two full-range drivers and a tweeter per satellite. This make the unit more suited to rock music. The Highs are crisp and clear, the mids are clean and the lows aren't bad.

    The altec's is engineered more like a mini high-end home theatre system, where power isn't its strong point but gives better overall performance.
    The logitech is basically a powerful sub with 2 satellites with performance punching well above some of it's higher priced competitors.

    At the end of the day, i would've walked away happy with either system. However, at the time of purchase the logitech were a snip at $185 fraction of the $299RRP while the altec were $299RRP and quite difficult to get. So the decision was quite easy for me in the end.

    Note: when your buying speakers only way to tell what's better is to listen to it. Ultimately it's what your ears like best and stay within your budget of course.

    Hope this helps


    • Good: strong powerful bass, relatively cheap compared to other premium brands. Great bang for your buck =)
    • Bad: Can be boomy if turned too loud, unless you like it?! o_O Satellites poor at producing highs and mids. Bulky and heavy compared to rivals
