Logitech Z533 UK-Plug Multimedia Speaker System with Subwoofer - Black

After returning two different pairs of speakers, I finally bought the Z533 speakers and I'm very impressed. The sound quality is excellent, and the subwoofer delivers deep bass with great volume control. They're perfect for both gaming and music. I only wish I'd bought them in the first place.

After spending countless hours researching and looking at the best 2.1 speakers I could ideally buy for under £100 I found myself deciding between these and the Trust Tytan 2.1 Bluetooth speakers. Although I knew the Tytan's had a lower frequency response (supposedly 45Hz as opposed to the Z533's 55Hz), my research suggested that the Logitechs performed better in reciprocating the mids and highs. Even though bass is a significant aspect of my preferred music genres (Rap, Grime, R&B etc.) I still wanted the most balanced sound across the board so I opted for these. I previously owned Logitech LS21's which had a RMS of only 7W so I knew the Z533's were going to provide a whole new dimension to my music. While unboxing the speakers I was glad to feel that both the subwoofer and satellites had a decent weight to them (4kg and 525g x2 respectively) which is always reassuring. Setting up the speakers was very straightforward, anyone with any experience with PC speakers likely wont need the instructions but for anyone who does, the instructions on the box are clear and easy to follow. After turning on the speakers and playing some music from a variety of sources (FLAC, MP3s & Spotify Premium) I was immediately impressed by the sound quality delivered. I'll admit I'm no audiophile but I still possess a desire to hear my music with as much clarity as possible (within my budget). The Z533's easily fill my university dorm room with clear, balanced sound at half volume. Even when pushing it to the max volume on the control pod and at the music source there is no distortion. The bass response from the subwoofer is punchy and satisfying, even at half capacity which is where I usually leave it to avoid annoying my flatmates and people living below me too much haha. Whilst I am completely satisfied with my Z533's, If you have a large room or desire a great deal of bass I'd still recommend you opt for the Z623's or the Z901's for 5.1 surround and THX certification. My main con with this system so far (and with most Logitech speakers) is the that the cable from the control pod to the subwoofer is non-removable. This can hinder your ability to setup the speakers in the exact location you may desire. It also means that if that cable becomes damaged, you'll have to go out and get an entirely new subwoofer. Bluetooth connectivity would have also been handy with this system, although this can be achieved through buying a bluetooth audio adapter separately (I know, more money...). I hope my review has been helpful! I have also included a few pictures of the system and size comparisons next to my LS 21 subwoofer and satellites. If like me, you have been researching into a good 2.1 system, I can tell you look no further. :) **Edit: January 2017** The Z533's are still going strong with absolutely no problems, I am still completely satisfied with my purchase. Using EQ software has allowed me to fine tune the sound stage to my liking. I have however since bought the Logitech Bluetooth adapter which functions perfectly with the speakers, allowing me to be more mobile with my devices while experiencing no noticeable loss in audio quality as opposed to wired listening.

It took me a while to choose the speakers for my desk looking at review after review. I came across these by mistake as I didn't really want a subwoofer. I'll tell you now, I'm so glad I did. The sound it very good and not tinny at all. Very clear and doesn't distort even with volume turned right up. I've tried all types of music, YouTube videos and games. Gaming is were these really shine the sound drags you into the game play and is crystal clear. It's very easy to set up. A plug to the mains. The 2 speakers into the sub, then the 3.5 jack to the source you want the sound from tv, monitor, PC, IPod and even your phone. It has a very nice turn volume control which just feel right and somehow makes you ask why aren't all volume controls like this. This control unit itself also has a 3.5 jack output for your headset if you need it. It's also got a base control on the side of the volume control unit. This is perfect if your playing a fps and your wife is shouting to turn it down as she can hear the bass down stairs hahahah. The speakers come with lots of cable as well so should be good for most large desks. They look very sleek and minimalist but have a nice gold cone in the speakers itself. It does however have that shiny piano black finish which is a total dust and finger print magnet which can drive you potty if your a neat freak like me. Saying that it's a very small negative with a whole lot of positive. I would wholeheartedly recommend buying this to anyone.

I have had these speakers for almost 4 months now, I previously had Creative Inspire T3300 (2.1) High performance Speaker System with Down Firing Ported Subwoofer and Wired Remote Control and needed a new set, I spent quite a while researching which speakers to get and I didn't want to spend too much, as money is fairly tight and they were mostly to be used when i have guests over and occasionally listening to music (i usually use headphones). I picked the Logitech Z533 because reviews seemed decent and the price had just gone down to 49 pounds. These are definitely superior to the Creative T3300s, i'm no audiophile but the sound is nice and balanced, the bass is punchy, overall there's a good mix of clarity and heft. I will say that occasionally on certain bass frequencies there's some rattling which is annoying, these speakers aren't perfect. I've fiddled with equalizer settings (thanks to reading a couple of online tutorials), and now i'm generally very happy with the sound, although still occasionally have to make adjustments to the bass level on the remote. There is a faint hum when the speakers are plugged in, regardless of whether they are turned on at the remote control or not. This doesn't bother me, i have them switched off at the socket when i'm not using them, but just something to bear in mind. The cables for the aux input and the remote control are not excessively long, approx 170 cm, which is fine to reach from the subwoofer on the floor up to my laptop on my desk. So overall i DO think these speakers are very good for the price i paid. If i had spent significantly more, i'd still be OK with them, but i would suggest there might be better options (although having spent a fair while researching speakers on Amazon, it's remarkably tough finding a set that get overwhelmingly positive reviews..). But for in and around their price point they are, at best, great. At worst, they're still solid.

I've no quarrel with the sound quality, they produce decent sound and fulfill their purpose but it has a fatal flaw that has been driving me insane for over a year now (should have really returned them when I realised). The circular volume adjuster seems to have some kind of "power saving mode" that constantly turns off your speakers in the middle of use, up to 5+ times a day. You have to rotate the volume all the way to off then all the way back again to turn the speakers on again. I've tried these speakers on both windows and linux and have the same issue. You can be blasting music out of them, listening to a podcast or mid video call and they'll switch off in the middle and being that I work from home this is a constant nuisance and irritation, finally getting round to buying something to replace them. Wouldn't recommend this product, not sure if mine is faulty or not but I wouldn't risk it. Expensive mistake.

Whenever I buy things off amazon I always read the good and bad reviews just to get a balance. But I felt compelled to right a review based on the bad ones. A woman claimed the sub woofer was so sharp she was in danger of cutting herself, if the woman was 3 years old I might have given it some thought. Another person moaned about the hardwiring and if it broke it would cost too much money to fix, come on firstly the hardwiring is really well made nice and thick and who gets a pair of £89 speakers fixed? if they are not under warranty just get a new set for gods sake. This one was funny, the volume control is so sensitive it goes up and down with a slight knock, I have might secured safely on my desk using double sided tape in an area where the volume control does not in any way get disturbed. Ok now that sillyness is out the way heres my opinion. I have bought 2.1 speakers for 20 years now and the best I have had so far was the logitech Z230 but they are not made anymore sadly, so my choice was narrowed down to the Z533 or the Z623. What drew me to the Z533 was the multiple audio inputs, I wanted to hook up my echo dot to them as well as my computer which is much better than using a Y splitter as you lose no sound quality. The sub woofer is nicely made as well, yes it is hard wired but the quality of workmanship is excellent, the size is nice as well not to bulky also it has a fixed grill on it so if you keep the sub under the desk accidently kicking it will not damaged the cone. The 2 desk speakers are surprisingly small for the sound they produce and have no problem filling a standard size room with loud sound. I actually love the volume control, its like a hockey puck with a bass adjustment lever on it and a headphone jack and a 3.5mm input socket. For the price these speakers have surpassed my expectations. Any reasonable person will be extremely happy with these speakers so don't let the negative reviews put you off.

I bought the same speakers7 years ago for my wife’s PC and I was impressed by the sound then. Those are still working and sounding fine. So when I git a new PC for myself I bought the same speakers from Amazon (lowest price by the way) and found the quality and the sound is still great. Clear treble and mid range and nice deep base. Would definitely recommend them.

At last, a desktop speaker set that works and gives decent volume. I use an M4 Apple computer with Dell 31.5 inch curved screen monitor. My Harmon Kardon SoundSticks finally gave up after many years in service and their replacement was too expensive. After two false starts, I realised that I needed a setup with proper 3.5mm audio connection and the Logitech Z533 delivered along with a simple setup with supplied leads. The wired control pod for sound and bass level makes adjustment easy and reduces the need for using the keyboard keys. The table top speakers are compact and look good on either side of the monitor, set back. I have placed the Subwoofer on the raised table under the desk as was the case with the SoundStick arrangement. The output for instruments is both powerful and clear giving detail that I now realise I had been missing before. A worthwhile addition to any computer system that needs an audio connection. Just make sure that you choose the system with a UK plug.

Achtung UK Stromtecker!!! Adapter dazukaufen nicht vergessen! Kostet ca 5 Euro auf Amazon! Logitech hat mich nicht enttäuscht. Sehr guter Klang und ordentlicher Bass ( der überraschend groß ist!!!, Platzbedarf!!) Bin sehr zufrieden. Kabellänge sind in Ordnung wenn man einen normalen Tisch hat. Optisch sehr schön. Wer einen schwarz eingerichteten Arbeitsplatz hat wird zufrieden sein. Lieferung durch Amazon natürlich ein Traum

Great sound, great bass

Recensione e voto determinati soprattutto riguardo al rapporto qualità prezzo e non solo (comunque, prodotto warehouse quasi a metà prezzo). 1. In generale, lo considero il miglior 2.1 sotto i 100 euro. Anzi, considerando le prestazioni di modelli inferiori o altra marca ben famosa, questo è un altro pianeta. Se non si ha bisogno di prestazioni sonore o di altissima fedeltà (ma si arriva a prezzi ben più alti) il logitech z533 è la scelta migliore. Personalmente lo preferisco anche ad i modelli più costosi o fratelli maggiori dato l uso che alla fine si andrà a farne e, se dovessi spendere dai 150 € in su preferirei orientarmi su altro. 2. Come va. Posizionato bene sulla scrivania con i satelliti rivolti verso di noi, ha un audio abbastanza notevole e coinvolgente, con bassi profondi ma soprattutto facili da regolare (regolazione dei bassi nel supporto della regolazione del volume). Quindi, se siete in condominio è pure troppo. 3. Costruzione. Abbastanza buona, fili abbastanza lunghi da permettere una buona disposizione e materiali di buona fattura. Ho apprezzato molto il supporto per il controllo del volume che,a sua volta incorpora il controllo dei bassi. manca il cavo rca che consiglio di acquistare (in dotazione c'è il classico Jack).

Llevo un tiempo con los Logitech Z533 2.1 y la verdad es que suenan muy bien para su precio. Los altavoces dan un audio claro y el subwoofer mete unos graves bastante decentes, sin ser exagerados. Me gusta que traiga un mando con control de volumen y graves, es cómodo tenerlo a mano. No son para audiófilos, pero para jugar, ver pelis o escuchar música, cumplen de sobra. Eso sí, ocupan algo de espacio, así que tenlo en cuenta. En general, contento con la compra.
