when I said that the z 906 sounds better, I meant that it has a better bass, it means that it outputs 104 db compared to the z5500, which outputs 97. a speaker, a system, etc. is measured in decibels, not in how many watts it outputs
Still using Z5500's in 2024 and they work great with all original parts, I've only had to replace the Amp fuse once several years ago, bought them new Dec 28 2004 for $269 shipped.. 20 years ago that's crazy lol. I think the stock Z5500 sub could be better especially with the lower end response, we have a newer & cheaper Logitech Z623 2.1 setup on another PC here and the 8" sub actually digs deeper than the Z5500's 10" but I'm guessing this is a reason its popular to replace the Z550's sub with something better. Worth noting the build quality on the Z623 isnt the best as the volume control is starting to have a lot of static when adjusting especially when first powering them up, they're only 5 yrs old.
@@N1NJAKIDDi wanna upgrade the subwoofer but not sure how it'll perform with movies and at different sound levels. Would it be possible to get a sound test from you?
@@tibby1239 I won't be able to do a sound test. But to be fair, I'm not sure you can get these subs anymore. I purchased mine in 2015. Try something like Skar Audio EVL-10 D4 which is still available. I'm thinking about upgrading to this
If your an OG you know z-5500 is far superior and the replacement z906 was a let down in many ways but did improve on some other minor things. All said & done 5500 is still better and I still have my set!
Dude do you have any idea about Edifier S550, currently I'm using it and very curious to know how it'd stand against these two (Z906 & Z5500) if possible please try to bring any Edifier S series S550/S730D/S760D
i would recommend the edifier, i recently bought my first set of Edifier R2000DB and they are really crisp and sound really well out the box, peronal perference go for the edifier. you wouldnt regret it
For my headphones the Z-5500 has better bass, but its satellites are heard low, the Z906 have more clarity and sharpness, I put a tweeter on mine and replaced the original subwoofer with a 12-inch JBL one at 4 ohms (the amplifier supports 4-8 ohms), this Z906 system could have been better honestly, for movies it is excellent but for music I had to make those changes, even my Jbl bar 5.1 if it is better than the Logitech Z906.
For music, if you want a more clear bass I recommend you a sealed box. The sealed box gives you a clear bass for all type of activities. But you loose a little of bass power.
Z5500 should be in stereo 2x mode, Because in movie mode only the center works at full power and the other 2 satellites accompany it at low volume, the comparison is not fair
Z-906 este cu mult peste Z-5500 .Primul adica z-906 se aude mai clar decat Z-5500 , am ascultat clipul acesta in casti sony wh-ch720n si mie unu asa mi se pare. Dar realitatea poate fi alta fata de ce reda microfonul cu care este inregistrat acest clip.
Z906 este un sistem extraordinar, il folosesc de un an si la volum mare si setarile date maxim si nu am probleme, se incalzeste intr-adevar dar nu am probleme cu el
Injust found my Z5500 up in the attic, i put it away because I ended up gaming with headsets. My wife asked me If i was thrrowing it away 😂 I told her she will go before my Z5500 😂 Love how heavy the little speakers feel, they are so well made. They just dont make sets in this quality anymore. Actually nothing is made of good quality thesw days unless you paid stupid dollars for it 😢 Thanks for the comparison. 🤗
I have both systems the Z-5500 is way better is has a digital screen boost options +volume options not just the regular volume it has so many options and easter eggs it's bigger it's more powerful than the Z 906 but the Z 5500 is just way older but it's better quality it's from 1996 to 2002 or 2006 back than it was $1500 but this 2012 Z 906 is only $400
the 5500 was only like $500. each system that came out i think went a little higher on price but i have the 680, never got a chance to get the 5500's because i was dipping into real speakers at that time. but for computer/console speakers to me, the logitech's are all unmatched. (longevity)
@@caliginousmoira8565 i have both th ez680 and the z5500. im using the satellites and the amp of the z680 with the control pod of the z5500 with a 1000watt active jbl sub. yes with some hacking. the reason is i prefer the older looks. it looks professional compared to the z5500- but the control pod has more features and supports 192/24 bit over digital.
Altough it’s not surround, the Z2300 still sounds best. Un-very-unfortunately it sounds even better then my premium samsung/harman kardon soundbar: Q950A
@@SubscriberswithanEgg Yea it’s really hard to beat the Z-2300 all tones come alive and the music sounds great too. everything is crystal clear without losing clarity in base or anything really on higher volumes. just to be fair to my soundbar, the sound does get way better at higher volumes, and the atmos effect only then is slightly noticeable, but i don’t want to crank up to volume too often for my neighbor 🤓

It's because it has a deeper bass. The z5500 os better for low frequencies. For this reason it has a little less decibel's.
Used to have the Z5500 when it first came out wish i never sold it the bass was crazy good for computer speakers it also got me into hifi gear
Yes - one of the best gaming 5.1 audio systems. Cheers

Me too. I love the Z-5500, still sounds great 20 years later and I also only had to replace the amp fuse once many years ago.
Still have my Z-5500 system with a upgraded sub. Not many surround sound systems could keep up with it, even today
True
Which subwoofer did u replace with? Do u have a sound test with the new one?
@@tibby1239 it's a Lanzar DCT104D 500W RMS. I don't have any sound tests

@@boogie3954 actually i was owning the S550 but i sold it yesterday.
Compare the Logitech Z5500 with the JBL Partybox 710. I wonder which one is louder, which one has more bass, and which one will shake the house more.
I already made the test - you will see the result tomorrow! Cheers!

my Z5500 is still working. Impressive sound.
no gud test
I'll tell you frankly Logitech z5500 It will be brighter than 906
what would be better purchase at seccond market (goods at good conditon) z-5400 for 125 bucks or z-5500 for 170 bucks
I will go for the Z5500 but pay attention at the satellites membrane! It is a very old sound system but very powerful. Cheers
@@AudioTribe thanks, and what about z906 for 180 buck at second hand
@@AudioTribeyeah on my center speaker the surround is disconnected
it doesn’t matter how much air it pushes it matters the db and you are blocking it like that with the paper it can’t make the db/bass
z906 outputs 104 db and z5500 outputs 97 db
@@DeLaxen and it matters where u put it 😂 if u put it in corner makes more db 😆
@@Fan_Pages1 that's not quite how it works exactly but I get what you're trying to say
Ikr it's so so annoying no need for the tissue in the bass reflex
i have z906 but i really want z5500, in my country bosnia its realy hard to find
Basslar bar 500'de mi daha güçlü z906'da mı?Subwoofer'ın esnemesinden bahsetmiyorum.Siz gerçekten iyi bir kanalsınız!

@@supra8087 Maalesef sıfırı yok!
Why nothing happens the Glass woter😂😂😂
Not even close z5500 kills the 906 with bass 906 sounded like a sloppy mess
Sound card on the z906 on a PC is good mate me we had the z5500 it sounded like shit the z906 till I got a sound card it was splenended
Honestly depends what u play somtimes
That was not even on boost for the z5500
Altough it’s not surround, the Z2300 still sounds best.

can you feel the bass pounding in your chest?????
Of course , it's one of the best 5.1 sound systems. Cheers

Very silly way to test as, who's going to have it set up like this? 🤦🏼♂️
What a shitty comparasion. Change the PL Movie effect on Z-5500 to 6 channel or stereo and then compare....
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
you should have selected 5.1 on the z906, not 4.1
But 4.1 is the best bass
4.1 is better

Always. Cheers
