Points can Logitech clearly in terms of processing, design and cabling; Although the entrenched cable from the satellite are not for everyone, but subjectively I like the chosen solution better than the commonly, for cost reasons, enclosed, much too thin speaker cables. The left satellite is via RCA connector on the expansive subwoofer, the right speaker acts as the control unit and is connected by means of 15-pin system cable to the subwoofer; Connection to the computer is done via classic 3.5mm jack. In addition, two RCA inputs (AUX) are available. At least with regard to noise (background noise) this becomes a positive impact, noise, buzzing the subwoofer electronics or the like I could not list.
Visually the merit of combining matt black and glossy elements to please even the size and shape of the satellites convinced. The sweeping and weighty subwoofer, however, underlines the effective output power of 200 watts. The THX certification may be effective in advertising, in this price range, the benefit for ordinary petrol is expected but barely make a positive impact. However, far-reaching resistance level may be admitted to the Z623.
Fresh unpacked and set up, disappointed with the Logitech Z623 being too: Bass is certainly sufficiently available, but too present for my taste or in other words, far too pushy! The midrange swallowed the box set, unfortunately, only too happy, and also the heights are shown unbalanced. Both voices and instruments, as well as the spatial imaging, rather unclean represented sonically. For music lovers clearly disappointing, here would offer the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX comparatively better at a similar price.
However, the Z623 can sometimes show its strengths, selection seems to be important here; some quieter, of course lossless (* .flac) titles as Nights In White Satin by The Moody Blues or Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel the speaker system were surprisingly rather than dance or chart hits à la David Guetta, Avicii & Co.
Entertainment or the sound of the shapely 2.1 sets ranges sure, although I always had problems with the volume: either the sound was constantly too loud (despite 10 o 'clock position), or it had to be adjusted manually because simply too quiet (votes during movie playback). Even the subwoofer was with movie playback mostly penetrant to overemphasized.
With 2 years warranty and for a purchase price of around € 110 euros, the Z623 is on no bad place to a leading position, it is sufficient, however, in any way.
Total unfortunately (also) only an average 2.1 system that visually and qualitatively convincing, but the most important sales argument neglects a balanced and good sound!
