Logitech G560 PC Gaming Ultra Surround Sound Speakers with Game Driven RGB Lighting, UK Plug, Black

Product Information

There’s also an infrequent issue with static interference caused by the Bluetooth, where turning on the speakers will introduce an audible buzz. It’s easily rectified by turning the speakers off and on again, but it’s no less frustrating. Logitech G560 Speakers – Software and RGB lighting

Rather, the lights simply appear to flash all sorts of colors in a sort of rhythm with the motions and sounds on screen during intense sequences. During moments of more steady motion and pure color, however, the speakers work beautifully to match the tones and hues. It’s sad then that those moments are few and far in between in most games.The lighting itself is super-bright and colourful, and while there are numerous standalone effects from which to choose, things get interesting upon enabling in-game integrations. That said, the audio output from these speakers is simply amazing. The bass is deep and rumbling and the high notes are captured with nuance and a wide range of tones. Your games and even movies are going to sound excellent through these speakers, that much we can guarantee. You can adjust the volume in individual games and apps, but it's not nearly as simple as just hitting the volume button on the right speaker. Even hitting the button can be something of a problem; the volume-up and brightness buttons are right next to each other, so you can imagine how many times I got those two mixed up. Logitech G560 Gaming Speakers review: Software and RGB lighting There are plenty of good reasons to buy the G560 – but, unfortunately, there are also as many reasons not to, which is a shame.

Fabric mesh grilles are wrapped around the speakers’ 2.5-inch (63.5mm) drivers, but not the 6.5-inch (165mm) subwoofer driver. There are no lighting elements on the subwoofer unit, but on each speaker there are four bright RGB LEDs accompanied by strip LEDs within hollowed-out chamber elements. Each of these sets of lights can be uniquely illuminated. The integrated lighting is the primary thing that distinguishes the G560 from the competition, and it's impressive — for the most part. By taking advantage of four separate lighting zones, it's possible to do a lot of cool and subtle things with the G560, from attractive color cycling to preprogrammed patterns in games like Fortnite and Final Fantasy XIV. (You can also turn the lights off completely, if you're the kind of person who eats plain Cheerios while listening to Imagine Dragons.)The G560 has a quoted 240W peak and 120W RMS output; that’s not as much as the 400/200W claimed by the Logitech Z625, but it’s still a hell of a lot of power. It’s certainly loud enough to fill a large living room, or even entertain an entire flat.

Logitech has implemented a feature called a "screen sampler," which allows you to split your desktop screen into quadrants and take color samples from each. These colors will then correspond to the G560's four lighting zones. For example, suppose you're playing StarCraft, managing a Terran base in the upper-left corner while waging war on the Zerg in the lower right. One speaker will show you subdued blues and grays; another will show you a shifting series of browns, purples, reds and yellows.
