GaryG's Reviews
Use this Klipsch ProMedia 3-piece speaker system to enjoy brilliant sound when playing games, listening to music or watching videos on your computer.

These speakers sound fantastic and are far superior to the Logitech Z523's (which I ditched within 24 hours of purchase due to sound quality concerns). The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers have good detail, warm sound, and a depth that exudes quality. They do not sound harsh or shrill at reasonable levels and are well balanced with the subwoofer. They play quite loud, but will begin to distort and sound harsh when pushed to the limit (which is quite loud).When playing the Logitech Z523's loud, you can feel the speaker cabinet vibrate contributing to a buzzing sound you can hear. Vibration is not an issue with the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1.
In all fairness to Logitech, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers do cost more than the aforementioned Z523‘s, but the difference in sound quality is greater than the difference in price.
I was quick to accept the myriad reviews that lauded praise on speakers like Logitech makes, but it is clear to see (and hear) that tried and true speaker manufacturers (as opposed to mouse and keyboard manufacturers) now how to build quality for the purpose of high quality sound reproduction.

After three different speaker system auditions, I have found the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 to be a great balance of audiophile sound quality for the person on a budget. I would definitely recommend these speakers to anyone looking in the $100 to $150 price range.
What's great about it: Great sound and build quality.
What's not so great: Nothing comes to mind.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fill your room with big and balanced sound with this Logitech Z313 980-000382 3-piece speaker system featuring a 4" subwoofer and a control pod to easily adjust the volume and headphone controls.

My wife grabbed these speakers when I was buying a PC and I told her I would not consider using them (I looked at the price and based on that, I insisted they would not be good enough for us). When we got home she un-packaged them before I had another chance to stop her, so I begrudging hooked them up to prove my point. Imagine my surprise to finde the speakers actually sounded great. Ultimately, I won the battle and upgraded to more powerful speakers. Nonetheless, I have newfound respect for the potential values you can find in budget categories. I would wholeheartedly recommend these speakers to anyone that didn't have significantly more money to spend. When I purchase these speakers the price ranged from $35 to $50, the lower of which is a no brainer. At $50, I would begin to shop around...you never know what other bargains you might find.
What's great about it: Sound is great right out of the box. Does not distort when pushed to max volume
What's not so great: Max volume is not loud. No separate adjustment for subwoofer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
