[Cassaundra Marley]

20 and 2.1 speakers feature a variety of connection options. Speakers with a 3.5 mm cable are compatible with any computer, laptop, tablet, TV, or smartphone that features a 3.5 mm audio input. USB speakers connect to computers, laptops and gaming consoles with a USB-A port. RCA-enabled speakers are compatible with your TV, Blu-Ray, and DVD player.

Logitech features everything from high-end surround-sound speakers to easy, affordable stereo speakers.

Feel the explosive action from 240 Watts Peak (120 Watts RMS) power feeding the down-firing subwoofer and two satellite speakers with lightweight, high-strength metallic drivers. Hear every detail as game and sound designers intended from this 2.1 speaker system and from a wide range of angles, thanks to the unique driver design delivering a huge soundscape.

G560 connects to and mixes multiple sources: USB, 3.5mm, and Bluetooth. With Logitech Easy-Switch you can seamlessly switch between up to 4 connected devices.USB connection is required for true digital audio, LIGHTSYNC RGB, and DTS:X Ultra surround sound.

Feel games and music in a whole new way. Two lighting zones per speaker deliver rear ambient projection to enhance your environment and front-facing lights for more active and informational lighting. With LIGHTSYNC you can customize across approximately 16.8 million colors to match your style and setup.

Volume control is front and center. Bluetooth pairing is done with the touch of a button. Programmable G-key cycles through color brightness by default, or can be programmed to trigger applications or execute in-game macros via G HUB. The power button is also directly within reach on the back of the right satellite speaker.

So I then reached out to Logitech for some ideas and advice on the best, inexpensive solution for my problem. After an overseas video conference call with some of their product managers (being a tech reviewer has a few nice privileges), they had some great recommendations for me, specifically the Logitech Z200 Stereo Speakers and the Logitech Z207 Bluetooth Stereo Speakers.

For best results, I now actually turn the volume on my TV all the way off and just use the Logitech speakers for everything audio. The only downside is that you have to physically adjust the volume as there is no remote. Oh well, getting up once and a while is good for the circulation!

I also connected Logitech speakers to my laptop. Now I hear the external speakers but the internal speakers won't shut off. If I shut them down, the external speakers shut down too. Anyone know a solution?

The speakers should be put into the rear of the computer in the outlet that is marked for speakers. As it is an audio outlet made for those speakers. Once you have done that restart the computer. If that does not help with the speakers feel free to let me know. Could you include your model number and current operating system? Here is a link if your not sure.

Hello nmg,

I just want to clarify a couple things with you to narrow down what could be causing the issue.

1. Have you tried plugging the speakers into a wall outlet by themselves for power? If this is an option.

2. Have you tried them on another computer? Maybe a friends if possible.

3. Do you get the same buzzing from the built in speakers?

4. an you try another set of speakers with this notebook, do you get the same buzzing sound?

Different audio files? (ie. CD, MP3, or YouTube).

Thank you.

As @renojim said, you can only connect Roku wireless speakers through the roku tv menu. Logitech wireless speakers use bluetooth, they're bluetooth receivers. All roku's with bluetooth are receivers also, so there will be no communication between the two, sorry. You need a bluetooth transmitter like a cellphone or tablet.

You can then group the Port with the Beam in the Sonos app. Music from the Beam and Logitech speakers should play in sync, but you will experience a slight delay from the Logitech speakers when playing TV audio. This is why this setup with the Port is not recommended for TV audio.

Why would you want to do this? More speakers does not ensure great sound. Matter of fact, two sets of speakers with completely different sound profiles will most certainly make it sound bad. Couple that with the fact there would be multiple duplicate channels means it would sound even worse.

With such a big subwoofer you would expect some decent bass. But no, the bass is very quiet. After a little Googling, I found some others with the same issue, on both Mac and PC. I tried multiple things, such as restarting, reinstalling the Logitech G Hub software, unplugging it, etc.

There is no support for sync light effects or DTS on the Mac. I knew this downfall when I ordered them as Logitech does have this on their website. But still important to note. Solid lighting and the other lighting effects work OK.

I was really hoping for something better for the price tag of $199.00. I ended up returning my Logitech G560 speakers and am content with my older speakers for now. In comparison, the sound quality of my Z533 speakers are way better. You live and learn!

When I bought it i already knew the issues so I tested it myself. Quite frankly I love the bass coming from the speakers and the subwoofer.

1. First the Lightsync option in the Ghub is not there. So you cannot physically turn it on or off. Luckily when I quit Ghub the Lightsync came up automatically so I dont have any problems now.

2. The Cycle function glitches when you only lower the speed of 1 speaker light (ex. Back) but it will not if you sync it before lowering the speed.

3. The Screensync is not working at first. After so many tinkering I was about to just turn the rgb off. Then I read this article about a third party eq. EQmac installed a driver in my mac and when I restarted my Mac Light screenSync now works Flawlessly

4. Bass is good my Landlord downstairs was already complaining. Then I added EQmac which made it more pleasing to the ears . Eqmac solved my no Equalizer option in the GHub.

Conclusion: The Speakers despite of all the Software issues delivers in the sound department. I dont know if they updated the drivers or not since the release. After alot of workaround I am happy with my purchase. :)

My desktop has a cheap pair of USB logitech external speakers. I've just downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and the speakers no longer work. My sound comes from an Intel chipset on the motherboard, and I am getting sound through audio jack to my monitor speakers, but even with the Ubuntu sound and the monitor sound control at maximum, I can barely hear it. I'm older and getting a bit deaf.

I have tested the sound and I'm not getting line out sound, although the monitor does have a separate attachment through the sound jack. My sound is coming through through the HDMI/Display Port 2--GF119 HDMI Audio Controller.

I have tried connecting Logitech speakers to my MacBook Air. Using the speakers' USB plug I have connected them to the Mac's USB port but no sound comes out. I believed these were simple plug-and-play products but I am wondering if that only applies to PCs.

U need drivers İ think. Find produce number in logitech ste and check for support. İf u have headphone jack on speakers u should connect with it i will be work without driver . Otherwise just usb connetion types need driver for support.

Well, the cracking if happens while turning the volume knob up or down, try cleaning it with a blower for starters. Then, if it still prevails, try rubbing the ends of the 3.5 mm connector lightly with a sand paper and connect again. Apart from that, the satellite speakers are weak in the 200Hz region and at high volumes, they sound like cracked paper for the beats of the mentioned frequency region and sound normal with lower volumes.

About 10 months ago I purchased speakers listed as new from a seller. They are now failing. I contacted Logitech and they refuse to help me because the speakers were not sold by an Authorized Reseller. ebay will do nothing, because it is past 30 days. I have contacted PayPal (I paid with a credit card, through them) but being it looks like it is out of their time window, and I do not even see the transaction in PayPal as it was using my credit card, I have a feeling that will go nowhere as well. The seller is refusing to do anything other than say 'they were new. sorry logitech won't honor the warrantee'.

No, I don't believe you have any recourse against the seller since they obviously worked when they arrived. Unless, of course, the seller offered their own warranty which would be extremely hard to collect on. Alas! Often it is hard to get manufacturers to even honor their own warranties. All to often they point out something in the fine print which they use to wriggle out of paying.
