Logitech G560 PC Gaming Speaker System with 7.1 DTS:X Ultra Surround Sound, Game based LIGHTSYNC RGB, Two Speakers and Subwoofer, Immersive Gaming Experience - Black

Product Information

Aside from loudness, the other thing that’s really noticeable about the G560 sound is how very bassy it is. Again, I love a good bit of bass, but at default settings I found it overpowering. I suspect that Logitech knows it, too: within LGS there’s a pre-made “Lower The Bass” profile, as well as a custom equaliser. I found I had to pull the bass down by a huge -10db to enjoy it. Every manufacturer wants to get behind RGB lightning. Logitech is among one of the last to enter the game – pun intended. It follows Creative and Razer to be yet another big name-manufacturer to offer built-in customisable and colourful lighting. Fabric mesh grilles are wrapped around the speakers’ 2.5-inch (63.5mm) drivers, but not the 6.5-inch (165mm) subwoofer driver. Having said all that, the G560 does get plenty right. If you’re in the market for some powerful and compact speakers that will add flare to your gaming setup, then the Logitech G560 Lightsync Speakers are an excellent option. Verdict

Logitech has crafted some seriously superior-sounding speakers for the PC that aren’t quite as robust as they could be from a lighting perspective. For a rather steep price, however, what you will get here are speakers that will undoubtedly bring flash and fun to your PC gaming setup.

Logitech Gaming Software, or LGS for short, allows granular control over not only the lighting, but also the audio output of the gaming speakers and other Lightsync-enabled devices. In terms of the G560 speakers, it provides the option to customise the ‘G’ button on the right speaker. By default, it’s used to control the brightness of the lighting, but you can reprogram it to be a mute button, trigger an in-game macro and more. The end result is relatively subdued and classy. Not too much, not too little, and it can all be controlled via Logitech’s G Hub software. You can have the lighting dynamically react to audio, morph according to what’s happening on-screen through sampling, or if you’re boring like me, hold to one fixed color. To be honest, I found the fancier options to be downright distracting. The G560 has a quoted 240W peak and 120W RMS output; that’s not as much as the 400/200W claimed by the Logitech Z625, but it’s still a hell of a lot of power. It’s certainly loud enough to fill a large living room, or even entertain an entire flat.

My equaliser settings have a fair bit of sub bass and clear highs. I'm very impressed with how they sound now. To replicate my equaliser settings: This is an updated version of my guide to fix the sound quality and issues with the Logitech G560 Speakers. You can mess with different EQ presets in G Hub and I found those to be beneficial when switching between movies, games and albums. It should be noted that after I fixed the volume issues, this system can now get very loud. Cranking these speakers up to maximum insanity can literally shake the house, so if you end up grabbing a set, use them with care and a healthy bit of restraint. The down-firing subwoofer is much larger at 404 x 255 x 207mm, but it should still fit nicely into the majority of setups. Besides, the incredible bass produced by the sub is more than enough to make up for the large dimensions! The G560 comes with a very powerful down-firing subwoofer which proved to be amazing for things like explosions but became quite overpowering at low volumes while listening to music. Adjustments in the software help a little but you're on your own if you've connected to bluetooth.READ NEXT: Razer Nommo Chroma review: Cylindrical 2.0 PC speakers with RGB lighting Logitech G560 review: What you need to know Overall, I was unhappy with the initial volume issues, but once those were resolved, I came to seriously enjoy the G560. The bass is booming, the RGB is tasteful and there’s a decent amount of customizability through G Hub. I’m sure you could find comparable studio speakers that run circles around Logitech’s offering — drivers with much clearer sound — but what’s here interfaces well with games and looks nice while doing it. Panel 2 - The Equaliser. If you'd like more sub bass you can drag up the 25, 40 and 65 frequencies up (do not adjust the subwoofer value in GHub). Feel free to tweak the entire equaliser as you see fit.
