Logitech Z Cinema

These speakers produce some solid low end and work well with Windows Media Center, but controlling software remotely is not always intuitive.

Strong audio performance. Remote has a ton of features. Works with Windows Media Center. Integrates iTunes and other media libraries. Powerful, but not boomy, subwoofer.

Complicated remote. Software can feel intrusive. Controlling Windows Media Player and iTunes remotely can be tricky. Subwoofer is large.

These speakers produce some solid low end and work well with Windows Media Center via the included, option-heavy remote. But controlling software remotely is not always intuitive.

Logitech Z Cinema Speaker System

Logitech unveiled their Z Cinéma speaker system at this year's CES, to plenty of fanfare. The system blends a refined two-way satellite design with a robust, powerful subwoofer. We take the latest high performance Z-series PC speaker system for a spin,...

Crisp, balanced full-range sound ; Beefy subwoofer delivers knockout punch ; Integrated IR receiver and included Media Center remote ; Stays clean at high volumes ; Surround sound from two speakers

Limited tone adjustments ; Clunky software and on-screen display

To be honest, my time with the Z Cinéma speaker system left me feeling fairly vindicated in my earlier view that virtual-surround algorithms would be the next major advancement in high-performance surround sound on the desktop. The Z Cinéma system...

Logitech Z Cinema 2.1 review

Logitech's Z Cinema USB speakers try to create the impression of surround sound using a 2.1 speaker configuration. They come with a Media Center remote control, but their interface software proved unstable under Vista.
