  Above average quality mid price set, great for small or medium sized spaces

  by jcedge on December 20, 2005

  Pros: Reasonable price for Specs and features, Good acoustics overall, Excellent wired remote

  Cons: Love it or hate it satellite asthetics, Just a little weak at max volume

  Summary: Purchased these speakers to replace an old set of Boston Acoustics. The price point on these made them more attractive on my budget than logitech's more powerful 2300's. ...

  Summary: Purchased these speakers to replace an old set of Boston Acoustics. The price point on these made them more attractive on my budget than logitech's more powerful 2300's.
  
  No complaints about everday perfomance, the sound produced by these is cisp and more than adequate for my apartment, however the top end of the volume range is a little weak.
  
  The bass is solid, and with a little tweaking won't overpower the high and mid from the satlellites
  
  The wired remote included looks and feels more substantial than other offerings at this price. The action is smooth, and the thing has weight, more like a real A/V component than the cheap plastic toggles that a lot of other systems had.
  
  Overall, I think I can recommend these to anybody with a smaller apartment or dorm room, or anyone who wants above avgerge quality sound without going into the $150-$200 dollar range.

  Excellent 2.1 set

  by BSDV on November 25, 2005

  Pros: Sound clarity, very little distortion

  Cons: Haven't found any yet...ok, they're not the Z-5500's

  Summary: Bought these after reading some reviews.
  
  Have listened to the Z-2300, but I wasn't impressed with the midtones and that set is a bit overkill for a small room.

  Summary: Bought these after reading some reviews.
  
  Have listened to the Z-2300, but I wasn't impressed with the midtones and that set is a bit overkill for a small room. For the same reason I didn't go for the Z-5500. I tried really hard to find myself a good excuse to get this set but that would have meant lots of problems with neighbours and in a small room it's massive overkill I think. Specially since I can't think of places to leave the additional speakers.
  
  
  I use them primarily for gaming, since I got fed up of using headphones all the time, and they're holding up nicely.
  
  Also for music they're quite nice. The bass is for me more then sufficient,excellent clarity, good midtones and hardly any distortion at very high volume levels.
  
  So far I haven't found any cons yet. Can recommend this set to everybody who's looking for a nice 2.1 set.

  Solid performance with CRISP sound

  Summary: I bought these to replace my JBL Creature II speakers which were rated high by everybody and their dog but I felt were too 'tinney'.
  
  I was able to snag these Z4's at Circuit City for $99.00 before a $50.00 rebate.
  
  I don't consider myself an audiophile but I know good sound when I hear it and these speakers have really good sound. Over the course of the last several months, I have listened to just about everything and these speakers sound much better than some of the other systems out there including the Z-2300's.
  
  The bass performs very well and I keep it at about the 10 o'clock position since it can thump more than what you want. For the left & right speakers, you can crank up the volume with no distortion.
  
  The big thing for my is that speakers do everything very well without being over the top. Speakers should deliver "depth & dimension" to music and effects and these speakers do just that.
  
  For a test I used the DVD "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" and went right to Joan Osbourne belting out HEAT WAVE, which I believe is the acid test on speakers. The sound was right on the money with the highs sounding full and the mids rich. By the way, if you have a home theater system I would highly recommend this DVD (Bose uses it as a company demo on their speakers)
  
  If you take nothing else away from this review you can count on the speakers delivering a very *TIGHT* CRISP sound - better than speakers costing hundreds more.

  Excellent performance for the little price

  by Yank555 on August 12, 2007

  Pros: Clear sound, good bass, nice design, very handy remote

  Cons: Lack of high bass / low mids

  Summary: I'm more the audiophile kind of user, although I wasn't looking for a set of audiophile speakers. I use a 5.1 B&W Series 600 speaker system when listening to music for "listening to music" as opposed to "just background music".
  
  My aim was to get a good speaker system to connect my computer so I'd have a decent listening experience when working on the computer, instead of constantly being irritated by the "bad sound and lack of bass" of my almost 18 year old SONY mini HiFi my PC was connected to...
  
  The Z4 do exactly that, with just a bit of twisting around the soundcard's "Bass boost" control as well as the subwoofer level knob on the Z4's remote, they sound really good, whether I listen to jazz or classical (very clear, impressing for the price), rock, pop or even techno. They could use a bit more rumble, but I was expecting this, as I'm more used to a B&W ASW675 subwoofer going down to 17Hz, but it's definately not fair to try to compare the Z4's to an almost 40x pricier set, is it ?
  
  I might have tried the Z-2300's but I didn't want to put more into the speakers of my PC and the line-in jack on the remote comes quite handy and the Z-2300's don't have that.
  
  I'd really recommend them, I don't regret my choice at all !
  
  If you want more than this, I'd probably tell you to rather go for the Z-2300's, they sure must be good as they're definately better than the already excellent Z4's.

  (PERFECT) FOR THEIR GENERAL PURPOSE USE ( PC'S )

  by ARMYN62 on November 26, 2008

  Pros: EXCELLENT SOUND, CAN BE TWEAKED USING THE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER IN WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

  Cons: NEEDS A WIRELESS REMOTE. ALL SMALL MICRO SPEAKERS SHOULD BE MADE WITH A SOLID METAL CAST CASING FOR MORE DURABILITY AND BETTER SOUND. PLASTIC IS USELESS, CHEAP AND UGLY.

  Summary: FOR THEIR GENERAL PURPOSE USE, YOU CAN NOT FIND A BETTER PAIR OF PC SPEAKERS FOR THE PRICE $$$$$$$$,THESE SPEAKERS ALSO LOOK BETTER THAN MOST. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

  very good for the money, and compared to the competition.

  by c46 on January 5, 2008

  Pros: crips, clear natural bass, no sub hum!

  Cons: could be louder, remote should be weighted.

  Summary: Very nice sound, good mid-range (for the class), and treble. Actually bought an Altec Lansing vs4221 before, the sub hummed constantly enough to drive anyone mad. Took it back in, ...

  Summary: Very nice sound, good mid-range (for the class), and treble. Actually bought an Altec Lansing vs4221 before, the sub hummed constantly enough to drive anyone mad. Took it back in, got a refund and bought the Z4.
  
  Quiet as a mouse (when its not playing music - then it gets pretty loud).
  
  Much better bass than the altec lansing one too, more natural and less false. Also balanced properly!
  
  Easy to control, although the remote could use weighted, and i'd personally like to see them include 2 input cables with it, since it has an extra input for mp3 players etc.
  
  The logitech logo really doesn't bother me... but it is pretty big, and might annoy some people.
  
  All in all, well worth the money and a clear leader in its price range and class.

  Good bang for the buck

  by nick7252 on October 26, 2007

  Pros: Generally flat sound, sharp highs and decent soundstage

  Cons: Sometimes boomy bass

  Summary: Similar to most previous reviewers opinions, the highs are accurate without being unnaturally bright. Vocals and midrange are good. The only limitation is the thin mid-bass and slightly boomy low ...

  Summary: Similar to most previous reviewers opinions, the highs are accurate without being unnaturally bright. Vocals and midrange are good. The only limitation is the thin mid-bass and slightly boomy low bass which is not surprising given the power rating for these speakers. However at moderate volume when you are seated right in front of them the sound experience is quite good. As with all speakers, speaker placement is critical. The best location I found was to have the speakers in front of the monitor and to sit back about 1.6 times the distance between the speakers. At this point the imaging was very good. Don't bury the two sattelites beside all the other stuff on your desk. It will really limit the sound quality and imaging.
  
  Overall for far less than $100 a good bargain.

  Summary: I use them on my pc and have no compatibility problems. They are perfect for me and descent looking. They are great sounding. I think that some of the other problems that people have described could be to do with the system running the speakers, but then i'm no expert. I am so much more than pleased with them, that any review below 7 i completely ignored. I live in the UK. I payed ₤39.99 which I was also more than happy with.

  Summary: I was prepared to buy these until i went to the shop and tried them out. Good base and sound quality, except for the high frequencies.
  In the end i bought the Philips SPA9300.
  Slightly more expensive with a marked difference in sound clarity and power.

  Summary: Sound quality is good although not excellent. Sub is very strong, I only use it at 1/3 power. Could use more treble but that can be controlled via almost any player and/or software.
  
  Sound in games is also very good. Bass is strong and you feel like you're in a movie.
  
  Remote control unit is very nice, controls volume (nice big knob), bass level, on/off and has headset plug and an auxiliary plug for an external player.
  Design is nice. A bit 'retro' to me but design quality is high.
  Logitech has come up with a nice product.
