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

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

Great sound quality and easy to tell directional sounds. RGB lighting is nice and kind of fun when watching film with lights off. Speakers had an extremely loud noise curve originally where 20 points was really loud. Logitech released update that made it better but reduced bass.

Really good sound and good looking speakers I'm really happy with them. Would have been 5 stars, but.... Pros. 1.Great sound quality. 2.Great looking. 3.LED lights really good. Cons. 1.Poor software, speakers are extremely loud out the box if you use the usb to connect them to you PC.

First impressions of the speaker set was that they a quite large and so may not be suited for smaller desks. The speakers are plug n play, supporting USB, 3.5mm and Bluetooth, connecting to my PC and Alexa was easy and worked perfect producing clear audio at all volumes with deep basses and no...

Logitech's G560 system could use better speakers and better software, but the RGB lighting effects are so good you might put up with the annoyances.

Loud; Immersive and platform-agnostic lighting effects; Subwoofer doubles as a great foot rest

Like; really loud; Sound quality is only decent for its price tier; Volume controls are wonky

Logitech’s illuminated speakers feature smart colour-changing technology – and earth-shattering bass

Back in 2013, Logitech moved its G-Series gear into the new ‘Logitech G’ sub-brand (one of five under the company’s umbrella), signaling a newfound dedication to developing top-shelf tech for PC gamers. Since then, the G family has expanded to include numerous mice, keyboards, and other peripherals built to optimize your gaming experience, and look awesome doing it. The new G560 speakers reflect this philosophy, packing an abundance of unique features into a powerful 2.1 setup. We spent some time evaluating them, and as we expected, they’re pretty impressive. The box for the G560 was bigger and heavier than we expected. Turns out, that’s thanks to the hefty subwoofer, which measures a whopping 16 inches tall and weighs more than 12 pounds. The stereo speakers are smaller (about 6 x 6 x 5 inches) and weigh just a few pounds each. They’ve got a cool, distinctive design featuring circular grilles mounted in oblong plastic casings with a brushed finish. Each speaker is equipped with two LE...

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;

RGB is the buzzword in peripherals these days, but few have found any real use for them. It’s all well and good to have an RGB-enabled mouse or headset or keyboard, but aside from a few gimmicks like “imitating the sirens in Grand Theft Auto,” it’s still more about aesthetics than functionality.

Logitech’s G560 system could use better speakers and better software, but the RGB lighting effects are so good you might put up with the annoyances.
