Over the past few years, gaming branded gear has been absolutely slathered with LED lighting, from computer mice to computer RAM. At this point, you'd probably struggle to find more than a couple high-end keyboards that didn't have LEDs stuffed under their keycaps.

Logitech's G560 gaming speakers stand alone thanks to big bass and intuitive LED integration.

Powerful sound; Highly customizable EQ; DTS: X virtual surround sound; Integration with other Logitech G sync gear; Tons of cool lighting options

Short list of supported light-sync titles currently; Software can be confusing

The Logitech G560's lighting ambitions sometimes outstrip their performance. I wish you could disable the subwoofer and have finer control over the volume at low levels. Beyond that, though, the G560 is an impressive first crack at a dedicated gaming speaker.

Excellent sound; Ambitious lighting options; Robust software; Bluetooth connectivity

No way to disable subwoofer; Screen sampling can be overly aggressive

When it comes to getting sound out of your computer, Logitech is a beast. Logitech is one of the biggest players in the game. Ironically, though, the company has never released a set of gaming speakers – until now.

One of the most important things while gaming is great sound. Another thing you start to find interesting is the use of RGB. Logitech has been doing RGB for quite a while in their gaming mice and keyboards and also have set up some sweet speaker systems for your PC but never mixed the two..

Logitech G560 RGB PC Gaming Speakers Switzerland-based Logitech has been producing speakers for the computer market for decades, with models ranging from budget desktop stereo speakers all the way up to multi-channel surround sound offerings designed to shake pictures off of the walls.

Love these speakers... Once I figured out how to set them up. Logitech Gaming Software doesn't like 4k resolution. You have to go into the files and change the compatibility to make the lightsync work for 4k. Once I got it working, it looks awesome. Syncs with other Logitech RGB items you have.

The RGB craze has officially taken the PC gaming community by storm, and Logitech's latest creation is better proof than most. These are the Logitech G560 Gaming Speakers, and for 200 bucks or quid they'll bring some serious hues to your gaming PC pod.

Excellent audio performance; Flashy and luxury light display; Bluetooth support

Not enough directly supported games; Needs more nuance in Screen Sampler; Only works with games in borderless window

Every manufacturer wants to get behind RGB lightning. Logitech is among one of the last to enter the game – pun intended. It follows Creative and Razer to be yet another big name-manufacturer to offer built-in customisable and colourful lighting.

Reactive RGB lighting; Good connectivity options; Lots of bass

Expensive; Excessive for quiet environments; Dipped mids

The Logitech G560 are designed to be the dream set of gaming speakers, offering a compact design, powerful sound, and RGB lighting that reacts to in-game events. In practice, they're a bit of a mixed bag.

Great for gaming; Engaging Lightsync effects; Works with any device; Compact and attractive design

Way too much bass; High price tag; RGB can be distracting; Jarring volume controls
