I've had this for 8 years now. Guess what? Works like new! Remote may seem cheap, but zero problems so far.
It is not Right and Left, it is positive and negative

Thanks for excellent review
I would definitely like to see another video from you using them set up thanks!
I'll see if I can get one done. If not, it'll be in a future overall desk setup video.
@@jcunboxing Ok cool!
I use these for my pc and tv they support dolby dtx so the movies are full 5.1 surround effect very heavy bass you can adjust volume snd base easely on the remote, it has enough power to piss off the neighbours and make your house shake. I bought them in 2020 and very happy with them especially for the price. They are way more powerfull then a soundbar for this price
Do you still have it and is it working properly?
@@Game4keyper yes i do works still works like new
@@Game4keyper I've had them since 2016 and they work flawlessly. Seen regular use.

Best review of this on youtube right here !
Very nearly. He never plugged them in to demo them. I'd like to get his impression of the interface and sound.
:(
Excellent, thank you
More test on this please..good video
great video bro
thanks so much!
Thx. Good vid.
To anyone wondering why the speakers aren't working properly with 5.1 sound on PC you have to turn effects off its when there are no LEDs on that's when you get true surround sound been using it for a while now was worried too when I first got em and took me a while to find out about this
how do you turn off effects? For me I can't have all the 5 speakers working at the same time. I am using the 2nd Input connection (red and white cable) so when i go 3D it does front left and right and centre, 4.1 gives me front left and right and rear left and right but centre speaker is off, and 2.1 gives me only front left and right. So not sure how to get the full 5.1
I see older z906 and I think thay changed the colour slightly aswell as the box and logo the rings on speakers near mesh is black now and the rear inputs plat is not gloss but now flat that's what iv noticed
i love these speakers, very loud 2 years still good!
Would you recommend me still getting them
Yep!
@@krishpatel316 yes they are great
"there's no kind of uhh... rectangular circle around it"😂
MERCI POUR CETTE VIDEO
Me too having the same z906. In my control console "Decode light" is OFF. Could you help me how to make on the Decode.
I just bought this in 2022 just now with my G12th i9 desktop computer, is very powerful speakers for the computer, And I can't believe it is decade old model and still kicking ass
Are you running it with optical Spdif? and What motherboard do you have?
Because I also have a desktop computer, and i want to use it via optical Spdif
@@Game4keyper your mobo needs optical output, or if you can buy a soundcard that has optical/SPDF output on it.
@@sparda9060 thanks bro I bought this system September 2023 and sold out june 2024
This is an old vid now - but IMO Logitech has some GREAT audio products. I still use a Z680 that was purchased in 2002/03? It still works amazing. (looks like hell) but every feature works flawlessly... I would 100% buy these again if the quality is the same.
Good audio stays good.
Hi., Does anyone know the crossover frequency of z906?
How do you install thx sound blaster with 5.1 thx logo tech to a windows 98 computer?
Can connect into smart tv? For that we need aux cable?
Nice video on point,this is my third surround speakers system the z906, In the past I had a Phillips and a Panasonic surround speakers the Logitech z906 is the best one I have so far,I got them for Christmas 2019 the z906 with the Logitech z623 also! I linked up my Logitech z623 only to my PC computer, And the Logitech z906 is linked up to my TV and blu ray player the sound quality and the bass is amazing, so much power. I only turn it up to only the fourth level that's how loud they are, I am content with these these both speakers very happy with them really, they're not really that big compared to the expensive ones the high-end ones on the market the Logitech z906 they take less space and for their size they can pump I feel like I'm in the cinema watching films can't believe I'm in my bedroom and not at the movies there are some high end surround sound speakers that are really expensive that fail in certain aspects compared to the Logitech in bass power I hope this lasts me for a long time if I move out in future if I get a bigger place I'll buy much bigger speakers the high-end surround sound something much more expensive I would do my research before I buy them,just like I did before I purchased the Logitech to be sure! the Logitech takes less space and a pump for their size cool with them.When some of my friends come to my house and we are watching a movies I see the surprise and shock in Their Eyes and the jealousy as well when they hear the surround sound in the system they asked me how much does the Logitech cost I say around 500 just a boost up the value of the z906 but really I saw them online around Christmas around 300 on Amazon and the next day i check and the price dropped from £300 to £98.32 saw the price and i purchased them straight away One thing I've got to say is they are well built strong I try to keep them clean as often, I don't have no regrets in purchasing the Logitech z906 and the z623!
I like your comment bro!you are motiveted mi to get one also
@@eddypikienmai1819 Ok thanks brother I really appreciate it, yeah you cant go wrong with them really Theirs more expensive sound systems out there that don't even sound as better these!
They dont take too much space small but they can pump base and they're very powerful for their size don't turn them up too loud your neighbours will be complaining lol and remember you can also adjust the bass manually also and sound levels theirs some people that purchase the Logitech z906 and they don't realise you can adjust it manually they've been optimised by lucasfilms THX certification so you know you're getting very good sound quality the sound is clean and clear my advice to you when you if you get the Logitech z906 have all the sound levels in the middle only and have the base level just one level up only from the middle you will still get clear sound and good bass range in films having the bass all the way full up can be overwhelming when you're watching films some people had this problems with their Logitech z906 some if them didn't realise that you can adjust the bass sound,To me it sounded it could of been of their first system ever, every system music system hi-fi you can adjust the bass, what I really love about these Logitech z906 the most you can turn the volume very high and there's no hissing sound or distortions!
Its pretty high quality speakers for how small they are. The satellite speakers are 65 watt RMS, which is pretty powerful comparing it to bigger car speakers that are around the same RMS wattage. Its why the sound be can real loud and still be clear. The small compact sub is 165 watt RMS, which is pretty strong for its small size sub. Single Sub sounds really loud and punchy for being 165 watt RMS.
Note Red and black on speaker cables like these have are not right and left. The right and left speakers have the same cables. In this case, red is positive, and black is negative.
So I guess you could say that red is "hot" for positive haha.
@@jcunboxing That is how I remember it, red is hot.
Thank you very much for the video. What is the cables length of the speakers? They can be extended up to 10 metres ?
i have the same speakers. but i wont say that they are 10 meters long. but you can always buy longer cables ofc. but they are long though.
I can’t get my z906 to work!! What all did you connect to the back of your sub and the side of the control console?
I'm been up the PC through AVR route with only hardship, AVR does matter when it come to HZ output and gaming, most are only capable of 60HZ to TV/ Monitor, I've found that the higher end Yamaha's will do 120Hz and perhaps higher without hijacking the the viewing monitor via your Nvidia control panel, OK but... it's only limited to one single viewing screen so if you had say triple monitors and wanted to surround them than you're going to be knocked back to only 60HZ. I've found that the only way I'm going to get 5.1 on my Sim Rig and keep all three of my LG OLED c2's at 120Hz in surround is by way of sound card and computer speakers thus leaving the RTX 3080 TI GPU to video only. If you're only viewing videos via PC than pretty much any AVR will accomplish this task.
After countless hours of speaker shopping without much available, I kept coming back to these Z906 and have placed a order on them.
I want to buy z906 2 years used, would it be correct decision to buy 2 years used?
Can connect with my.ps4 pro??
Great review. I'm looking at replacing my Edifier surround sound speakers with this Logitech setup as they have come down in price quite a bit recently.
They're still with me and doing great. Love them. Definitely recommend and after all these years!
The song is Daddy by psy incase anyone wanted to know.
the rectangle is almost like a tweeter
Isnt the box particle board, not plastic?
in 2024, which one is the best alternative to this? Control center is a must for me.
I think this is still a great speaker set in 2024! Would buy again today.
I've had several soundbars and surround sound package but it was only when I purchased a budget AVR and a pair of budget speakers that I realised what I was missing, (stereo imaging, thumping bass plus fully enveloping soundstage imaging) besides going down this route one can always add to it overtime... surround speakers, subwoofers one can even get height speakers and have the full non virtual Dolby Atmos experience. Nowadays AVRs has so simple to setup they even walk you through the process.
Remember movies are made up of 50% visuals and 50% audio and there are occasions when the audio out does the visuals.
who cares
Which device did u connect the aux cable to
Can we use it without controller?
Great Video! I have a question about the speakers, are they labeled as "Front" and "Rear" speakers? Or you can just set them up however you want them to be front or rear?
The rear speakers specially designed for highs and mids. Hope it has answered your question.
front and rear speakers are exactly the same specs. only center speaker is different cuz of his shape.
It is 500w too?
I would want to know about wall-mounting of the satellites and if the satellites come with wall-mounting screws.
Nah they don't, you'll need to buy your own.
@@jcunboxing I think that is where they failed. Had the system come with its wall mounts then it could be so nice
Good sound.But if you push the sound to loud.The system overheat after 10 min.Not good if you want play the music very loud.If you are in apartment that ok.
Would a DVI to a VGA extension cable work?
and how long are the cables for the back speakers?
no because that is not a monitor output. its a DB-15 ph connector. so no a DVI to VGA doesnt work.
TV I have does not have audio outputs in the back but there is Optical Out. Can that be used to hook up the set?
yes
What the best way to connect to my tv.TV.. noticed had 3 outputs green black and yellow for headphone.. I have optic and headphone on tv as well as the red white wires.. which is the nest set up to get max output
connect it using Optical to get 5.1 surround sound. Red and White RCA outputs are only Stereo.
Setup please, i am halfly eager to buy this. Great job btw!
instead of this go for onkyo/denon avr
@@m4mike250 small price difference….
This guy sounds like Michael De Santa from GTA V
Hi, just bought one used without the aux cable. I used it via optic cord connected to the tv and my tv to the laptop via hdmi. I would like to connect the speakers directly to my laptop but when I tried with a single aux cable it didn't work. Can you please tell me, do I need a 3x minijack(similar to the original) to connect it to my laptop and if so it's ok if I only plug in one jack in it to get 5.1 surround sound?! Thanks
Set your laptop to output audio with the HDMI cable connected to your TV. connect the Optical (tosslink/SPDF) cable from your TV to your Z906. Go to your TV settings and change audio output to Optical. You should get 5.1 surround sound now when the Decode Lights up on the control box of Z906. remember that the audio source form whatever movie/tv show you are watching has to be in 5.1 surround sound format or else you won't get true 5.1 sound from Z906.
Usually your TV app like Netflix or Hulu should be playing 5.1 audio source but you can always check it by going to audio setting on the app when you are watching movie to select which audio you want to use. It should look like this; English 5.1, English Stereo, Spanish, French. Anything that doesn't say 5.1 next to name of audio, its in stereo only.
Is it possible to connect other passive speakers in the subwoofer? I have 2 Harman Kardons and I would like to use them as front L & R speakers :))) Also, this may sound dumb, I have external sound card (Steinberg UR12), so I just plug Red and White cable to my soundcard and I get surround sound (I know it depends of the source ect ec.), but what I mean is, like if I play game or listen to music, all 5+1 speakers will output sound even the original source may not be for 5.1 system... I am bit of a n00b regarding surround stuff :D
no, sound source must be 5.1 and the connections must be optical or 3 plugs (green, black, orange) is only way to get 5.1 sound put on Z906. Yes you can use your Harmon speakers if it has the same wires.
Hi James, Does it have mic in function where I can connect microphone system for home karaoke? Thanks,
It has an aux port, but no mic port.
If you have a DVD player with mic inputs, then you could connect them to the Z906 and have Karaoke by way of the DVD!
Did you ever do a review on how the speakers sound after properly placing them? I'm currently debating getting these speakers for my pc setup :)
Great video btw, you earned a sub
Thanks!
I didn't end up doing a review. But I still use and love these speakers for my PC setup. No regrets at all getting them :)
Can I connect this device to a computer with OPTICAL connector and make 5.1 sound?
Yes as long as your computer has Optical output.
Do you reckon it's worth it for £160 (now, 2022)? Wanna connect my laptop and LG CX to it ... would I need an external audio interface for the laptop in order to use is as 5.1?
Yea I think so! I'm still using it and loving it. hard to find something out there for your PC that's 5.1 surround. Although not sure how well it'll go with your laptop in terms of 5.1 compatibility. Might wanna check you can do that with your laptop.
@@jcunboxing Thanks for the reply James, will keep looking.
between Soundbar, 5.1 speakers (Z906) and AVR + speakers.... cheapest is the z906, others imagination is the limit :)
is this set with optical cable can support Dolby 5.1?
Yes
can you buy the speakers only and connect them to an av receiver (sony str-dh790)
Nope. They come in a set.
No, it's HTPC
Can I add tweeter and center channel to "Z906 5.1 SURROUND SOUND SPEAKER SYSTEM" system. If yes please recommend good tweeter.
You probably can, but you would want to keep them the same as the sound may change when using a different speaker. The amp is designed to be used with what comes in the set.
as long as your speakers are rated 65 watt RMS or lower since the amp is design to only output that much power for satellite speakers. if you use a higher RMS wattage speaker, the volume will sound lower than it should be.
Price?
if my z506's ever die I'm going to get this x)-
Got told can't get 5.1 audio on PC with this unless using 3x aux cables, does it come with the 3 aux cables? Can I get the 5.1 audio surround sound on my pc with everything that comes in the box?
For movies and tv show from netflix for example, you need to use Z906 with Optical cable. for PC games you can either use Optical or 3 cable (green, black, orange) to get 5.1 sound.
Hi where can you but longer cables for the speakers? and how to pick the right ones?
The longer cables should be use for the rear left and rear right speakers since they're positioned further away from the subwoofer.
@@jcunboxing Thank you
Just to make sure when you put everything in there place how was the experience?
Is the sound power good?
Excellent. Love these speakers. Don't regret it at all.
Hi there, does anyone know what’s the difference between z906 the new and old version, thanks
New version Blue box one, has the overheating issue fixed. Old one is prone to it overtime the more you use it.
5:31, do you know what those are called? Didn't get any when i bought my used set.
3.5mm cables. Surprised you didn't get one. Maybe contact logitech to see if they can send you one?
@@jcunboxing so many aftermarket 3.5 cable
How does this connect to the TV? Is it the number 2 plug via the subwolfer?
Use optical cable to connect to you TV, optical number on Z906 is Output selection 3 and 4, the 5 one is is COAX.
to buy this on GENIUS SW-HF 5.1 6000 II Dark Cherry? i`m afraid because speckers are plastick geius is wood
Wood and plastic doesn't make any difference anymore they basically sound the same. the wood speakers are just overpriced for same sound quality.
How long are the cables for the rear speakers?
idk but you can buy like 100 feet of wire for like $15
Hi James, do u think the new version is coming out anytime soon?
Not sure, can't answer that. Sorry.
No, new model only Z607
@@mixedup5858 thanks
Can I use the headphone output on my laptop to connect to this? Just looking to increase my laptop audio quite a bit and I just have the 3.5 mm audio out at my disposal so curious if it will work.
You can, but you're only going to get stereo. You can use the 3D to get 'simulated surround' but it's not great.
Yes you can headphone 3.5mm jack on your laptop to connect it to Z906. You must connect it to the control console on right side in the hole that has the music note icon next to it. you will only get 2.1 stereo sound with that connection or use 3D setting on console to get fake simulated surround sound.
what should the volume of the rear speakers be on the console? is max ok? will it spoil the speakers?
Depends, but generally don't cause the speakers to distort, could damage over time.
@@jcunboxing also whats the windows volume i should set? Any sound cardd would u recommend? Or is my x570 strix onboarf sufficient?
@@jonathanleonard9507 Set 100% volume in windows, x570 is good enough. Connect using 6 channel direct cables, and configure 5.1 setup in realtek audio console in windows. You could use optical cable instead of 6-ch direct cables, if you feel like your motherboard's audio codec is suppressing the quality.
I want to buy used logitech speakers, some offer the z906 and z5500 at the same price, I'm confused which one is better and better for the sound
Z5500 for bass, z906 for quality
Z906 blue box ones does not overheat. Z5500 have quality control problems.
Sorry please tell me, can I use this speaker on my tv and use the 5.1 surround sound function.?
Should be. Just be sure to use the optical output from your tv.
@@jcunboxing thank you for your answer. Are you sure the 5.1 surround sound system will be applied if I use it for my 4k tv.? Or the speaker just will be streo.?
Will depend on the type of content you are watching and from what. Regular TV channels will output only stereo. It all depends on what you are watching. If unsure, consult with the store you bought the TV from.
@@jcunboxing i usually use the tv just to play ps4
@@antond.santoso2678 it support dolby dtx so if u watch movies on ur tv it will have full dolby surround effect i own these also
how long is the (vga looking) cable on the headunit?
Proably about 1.5m?
@@jcunboxing i bought a set, did not need to extend :)
You keep saying tweeters, buy you mean mid-range woofers/drivers (3") as these speakers do not have a separate tweeter.
let down by no tweeters and not dolby atmos
How's the Bass adjusted?
You can adjust the sub via the controller.
@@jcunboxing nice no more getting up because the voices are resonating
How loud do these get on max volume 5.1 ??
loud 500 (RMS)
Loud enough to shake your neighbours house
These speakers are really loud at max volume, Satellite speakers is 67 watt RMS, the subwoofer is 165 watt RMS.
Is this loud?
Hell yeah
Does it come with a optic cable?
Nope. What you see in this video is what you get.
@@jcunboxing Thanks
Total noob here. So I know these speakers can easily connect to a pc, but what about a Tv? I’m buying a tv for my room and gonna have a pic and ps5 connected to it. Is that something I can pull off??
Well, what exactly do you want to connect to the Z906, your TV?
connect PS5 to TV with HDMI cable to HDMI on your TV. Connect TV optical to Optical on Z906. Then Connect 3 cables (green, black, orange) to your PC and connect it to Z906 Green/black/orange to get 5.1 sound on both. use control console to switch between the sound source; PC or TV/PS5.
Managed to score, a well looked after second hand set of these, for real cheap.
Also have a set of z680s, I bought 2nd hand for cheap, but they were a little bit beat up.
On comparing the two, imo, the z680 beats the z906, for solid bass, and sound quality. Even the old z5300s I used to have had better bass.
Never owned z5500, but I'd say they would the cream of the crop.
First thing I noticed was, with z906, that I was able to pick up the sub with one hand. Try that with those other 3 systems lol.
Otherwise, I'm not too upset with my latest purchase. They're not bad, but after the comparison, done under raging, garage party conditions, the difference was day and night. Keeping my eyes peeled for a set of z5500s now...
Will it decode a 5.1.soundtrack from a DVD movie?
It should if you've got the connections don't right. Use optical for best results. But mainly depends on the DVD and your DVD player.
optical is only way to get 5.1 sound on Z906 from DVD/Bluray player.
If you want a longer one there goa your power cable. Its called an extension cable.
Only reason I am not buying this system is because nobody was able to answer me on how to connect this with my new 55inch smart tv.
optical/spdif/tosslink cable
Good for music?
Yes. I have them and they are very loud and great sound also
Very good
sounds good on flat EQ, makes music sound great when you EQ it to whatever genre it is.
what cable should
i use when i want to connect it to a TV?
optical/spdif
not plastic sir, they are mdf
This system suitable for pc.
Yep, use it every day for my PC :)
Its made for pc
Ok
Why didnt you try this set ? Unboxing is not that exciting as I thought by the end of this video you would play the system so we could have an idea of the quality of the sound... :(
you can't really judge sound quality through video either, you have to be there in person to listen to it to really know how it actually sound.
still no 2 way sattelites :(
Price in indian rupee? Plzzz fast
Best to check your local supplier. But I got these for around $349 AUD.
@@jcunboxing in malaysia cost about RM1335 = $449 AUD
28,000 INR
Doesn't support HD audio.
Supports 3d audio, better.
Maybe Logitech should put a Stone inside the control to make it heavy so you will not HATE it ..Can't believe you will complain about the control not heavy so you don't like it ..
i have the same set and the control box is fine. just normal weight if you ask me.
500 (RMS)
yup 500 rms
8" sub= 165 watt @ 6ohm
3" sats= 67watt × 5 @ 4 ohm
165+335= 500 watt RMS but please dont expect a sound quality of 500 watt it sounds just like an average 100 bucks speaker....
But no FM no Karaoke🎤 no lcd with it
This system designed not for karaoke.
It's not 1000W
hold on did you said sub made out plastic 😂
Ummm its not quite 1000 watts. 500 verified. Logitech is tight lipped on where the other 500 watts come from
It is 1000W PMPO(Peak Music Power Output)500W RMS.
