Lots of power, Matrix surround works well, Great controls
No wall-mounting hardware included, Subwoofer is decent but not super-powerful
The G51 is a very attractive package for the money and leaves us very little to complain about. It provides better-than-average sound quality and power, and is reasonably affordable too, slotting in perfectly between the high-end Z-series speakers and ...
Quite affordable
Identical satellites
Good sound imaging
Control pod has microphone and headphone inputs
Individual mute buttons for speakers and mic
Auxilliary stereo input for MP3 and handhelt gaming
Clean design with all cables going to subwoo...
Bass drowns out the rest of the sound in most scenarios
Subwoofer crossover seems to be set too high
Cables are permanently attached to speakers
Z5500 is just $60 more, and so much better
Overall, the G51 is an excellent option for someone looking for a pure gaming surround speaker solution. While it doesnt exactly excel in sound quality, what do you expect for $140? The addition of gamer-specific features like skinning and the control...

Impressive, slammin bass, Tons of power and clean output for its size, Stylish design, Thoughtful dual-mute feature, Good sound quality,
Not particularly detailed sound, Sub can sound muddy when pushed
Overall, Logitechs G51 proved itself a worthy contender in the world of surround gaming audio. In general, Logitech has taken the right approach to designing a gaming audio system, by building a system that addresses the concerns of fidelity and dyna...
Logitech has produced an excellent 5.1 surround sound solution for gamers that wont break the budget. Sure, we would all like to have the more expensive Z-5500 system, but paying $300 for a speaker system just isnt feasible for many consumers. The G5...
