Comment: It's a perfect match for most game consoles, home theaters, and PCs—but its bombastic low end can become overbearing with certain types of source material.

I previously owned the Z-5300's and had purchased an xbox 360, badly wanting 5.1 for it. Upgraded (sold the others) so I could have the extra inputs from the pod, but there are so many other things I love about these speakers.       » READ MORE

Great speakers, amazing price to performance ratio!!! The treble is sharp and the base is extremely firm with no rattles or distortion. I would highly recommned these to anyone who would like to save $500.      » READ MORE

I just received the Z-5500 earlier today, and: HOLY CRAP!! I was astonished at the size of everything; it's all much bigger than I'd expected, but when your talking audio, large size is generally better (funny how lots of things are like that: Speakers, TVs... I'll leave the rest of the list up to you). Anyway I could probably break every window in the house with these speakers, but I'd rather not try that out. As I'm writing this review, I'm listening to "Rage Against The Machine - Guerillia Radio" and I'm hearing aspects of the song that I never had before, even with studio quality headphones! It's loud enough that my ears should start bleeding any time now, and that's with the volume set as follows:       » READ MORE

Bought it for a better sound when gaming, listening to music and watching movie. I don't think i could have found better. Nice home theater speakers.      » READ MORE

Had these speakers and they stopped working after about an hour. The decoder inside the control center stopped working. After hours of trying to get them to work again, tried coaxial, input, optical input into my PS3 nothing works anymore. they were good for about the hour they did work. Plugged my Old ZX-530 speakers back in and they worked perfect so I know it's not a setting in my PC.

I got this to replace two sets of speakers, one for my computer and another for my 360. It's great to have one set that can do both and sound great at a very affordable price. I was very surprised at what I was missing from my 360. Grenades and explosions sound amazing!      » READ MORE

The price is great. If you are looking for great sound than I would say this system is average at best.The speakers are small and sound tinny.The sound is not well matched from the speakers to the sub. It sounds hollow.I also had to return the first set because a speaker stand was missing.The remote must be pointed directly at the sensor for it to work. Not sure why you need a remote. All I can say is that you get what you pay for.       » READ MORE

very nice and clear, bass is very nice, very powerful speakers, all levels of sound are great with these, even at very high levels... i am rarely happy with anything i buy but i have to say that i am incredibly happy with these speakers. i haven't regretted the purchase at all and i constantly listen to music like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Cream, The doors, Pink Floyd, etc... sounds great on everything. I am just so happy with these       » READ MORE

These speakers are amazing, the sound card and the connection type makes a huge difference in sound volume and the quality of the sound. An Audigy 2 was a lousy sound card for these, the sound wasn't very loud. I connected it to a quality optical sound card and all I have to way is WOW!!! amazing sound quality and super loud.       » READ MORE
