Increase your gaming intensity by upgrading to the 6.1 surround sound of Logitech's X-620 speaker system. It features six satellite speakers, including a center rear channel, plus a powerful pressure driver subwoofer. Are you looking for powerful bass? Crisp highs and mid-range? The X-620 delivers. Its patented subwoofer design provides twice the bass of conventional designs for smooth, powerful lows, and the satellite speakers provide rich mid-range and crisp high-end tones. Even if you don't have a 6.1 sound card, you can still enjoy the benefits of all seven speakers by using the source selector switch. Got a Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox, or Nintendo GameCube? Just plug in the X-620 using the convenient video game console adapter and immerse yourself in the explosions, music, and dialogue of your favorite games.
1 Good sound, easy setup
I got this set as a gift, and it's great! I set them up with a 8-channel sound card and installed the software. Absolutely no problems with installation, a little adjusting on the included equalizer software and it sounded perfect. I use them mostly for strategy games and music, and 6 speakers can tell me exactly where things are happening in my games. Bass is great, easily adjustable.
The only problems:
- bass gets kind of overpowering when you turn the volume low
- some of the cords for the speakers are rather short... get a few cable extensions if you want to spread them out
- volume doesn't seem to change the headphones output level
These are minor cons, though, and with all the good, you can easily look over these problems. Make sure you have a compatible sound card!

2 Great speakers at a great price!
When it comes to computer speakers, you can't go wrong with the Logitech x620s. Crisp, clear sound, a powerful subwoofer, and a system that's so easy to hook up, you don't even need to read the manual.
The subwoofer has independent control. The right front speaker has an easy headphone plug, volume control, and on/off switch. These speakers give great sound and good volume. The bottom of the speakers have a groove for hanging them, or they can be set on your desktop.
Only cons for these speakers:
- When used at low volume, the midrange is weak, and bass a little overpowering. Nothing horrible, but this is the only sound weakness with these speakers.
- Center speaker has no hook for wall hanging. Not sure why this wasn't included, as the center speaker would seem to be the most obvious choice for hanging.
- Left front speaker has a very short cord. This forced us to place the subwoofer (where all the cords connect to) on the floor under the middle of the desk so the cord would reach. An extra few feet would have been nice, especially since the rear speakers have nice, long cords.
I think these speakers stand up well to their more expensive counterparts. Why pay more, when you can get a wonderful set for under $100.
3 CHEAP, EASY, AFFORDABLE
When I bought this surround sound systemn for my computer it was my first. I spent a long time searching and these speakers read better than any other in this price range. I went for it, and I made the right choice. All the cables are extremly long so you don't have to worry about the speakers reaching. I have trouble with my center and rear speakers at first, but I quickly worked out these minor flaws. Now i love these speaker. The subwoofer will rock your world. It shakes, it rubles, and boy can you make it LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 Logitech X620's
Ok so I have recently become obsessed with the world of surround sound audio. I have previously had Creative Inspire 4.1 speakers, then upgraded to Ozaki 5.1 Home Theatre. Of course, with only 25 Watt RMS total power they were hardly amazing.. So i was looking to upgrade again! I got some Logic 3 console soundstation speakers, and they didn't connect very well so i got a cash refund. So I headed to comet with the Intentions of buying a Creative Inspire T7700 set of 7.1 for £99.
Unfortunately they were sold out, so then I spotted these! I knew logitech were well recommended for sound, so I decided to take a plunge and buy some 6.1 speakers.
Well what can I say? Im not going to be too biased like some stupid reviwers on here lets start with the good points:
>Strong Subwoofer with 25W RMS output (Doubled due to patented technology) definately the best bass producer ive ever heard!
>Strong speakers, 8 Watts RMS per channel over 6 speakers! With 20 Watts in center channel!
>Headphone socket for private listening
>Source switcher - upmixes a 4.1 or 5.1 signal to 6.1
>Subwoofer Volume Control
>Sturdy Volume control - these speakers can go mighty loud, and volume control is progressive, but I dare not turn them up to the max!
>Speakers have their own stands, or can be rotated 180 degrees or attached to a wall via a screw
> Free console adaptor ensures these speakers can be easily used with xbox gamecube or ps2 right out of the box!
>These speakers ARE compatible with DVD players!
>Quickstart Manual and Warranty Card
So the good news is these produce a rock solid sound for a great price, better than Inspire 5.1's? Yes i would think so, definately better than my other two speaker sets anyway!
Sadly the bad points are, but to be fair i must state them:
>Subwoofer cannot be turned off and can be a hinderance as even on low volume it produces a tonne of bass
>Back speaker wires are particularly short!
>Needs a 6.1 Audigy to take full advantage.
So not being biased, honestly i have listed only two bad things i can see at this time. I really do like these speakers and am very pleased with them. The only concern is the amount of wires i have in my tiny room lol... these speakers are compatible with almost any home device and you are even given the adaptor to do it for free!
So if you're looking for a bargain way to step up from 5.1, grab these! I assure you the sound they produce is great, and isnt some thrown together budget model! the specs say for themselves:
70 WATT RMS Output
140 Watts Peak Output
These speakers rock, 5 stars!

5 Just as good as the Z-640's, but 1 more satellite, nice 6.1
I am writing a review because some want to know if these are good. Well I bought the Z-640 from amazon last summer and I had bought later a Audigy 2, 6.1 surround sound card. So I waited for 6.1 to come and X-620 came. However, amazon did not stock this, until just recently. Where I bought it already from somewhere else. But these speakers are awesome. Just like the Z-640, exactly the same output 70 watts, except 1 more satellite speaker to give you nice 6.1 surround sound. 3 speakers in the front and 3 speakers in the back give it a nice distribution of sound. Perfect configuration I think. 3 on 3, instead of 3 on 2. And the subwoofer I think got even louder and better. Defintely see a difference in the bass with X-620 over the Z-640. In end, if you liked the Z-640 you will defintely like the X-620, I know I do. So check out the reviews for Z-640, maybe that will help you more if mine didn't. Amazon is the best.
