"WOW"
I bought these speakers because all the other speakers (regular desktop speakers) had been broken one way or the other (and it just so happened the one to break was always the main speaker). I put in the order and received my package in 2 days!! This is amazing to me, especially since the scheduled delivery date was june 2nd to june 5th (i received them on may 31st). BUY Now is a great company and these speakers are great. of course my laptop doesnt support 5.1 surround sound so i now have to buy an adapter (not a prob with me) but the 2 speaker (out of 5) that do work, sound amazing. I can only imagine how they're going to sound when all 5 do work!! And you can trust me on how loud these speakers are, seeing as I love to blast my music (i even was asked to turn down my iPod on the bus because they were too loud for a person seating in the back of the buds; where i was in the front!). Great buy for so cheap!!

"You get what you pay for"
I purchased these speakers over a year ago, impressed with their price and with their advertised features. I had just purchased a 5.1 surround sound card, and was eager to have a set of complimentary speakers. Logitech being a good brand, I assumed that the speakers would reflect this value.
However, I do NOT recommend purchasing them. I have several issues and complaints with them.
For one, the speakers are not designed very well. The connecting cords are too short for many realistic setups, the cords are too stiff to bundle or manage easily, and the general setup is awkward and trying, forcing unnatural, unwanted speaker placement with lots of exposed, ugly cords.
After using the speakers for about a month, the volume knob (found on the right front speaker) began to malfunction and ONLY control the front right speaker. The volume for the rest of the system was independant (and I could only set it using the computer's volume controls). This was very annoying, but I resolved it by simply setting the right speaker at an equivilant volume to the rest of the system, and then adjusting it with the pc's controls.
Then, 3 or 4 months into their usage, I began to get random, extremely loud bass disruptions. Whether I was using the speakers or not, if they were on, they would randomly BELCH and BELLOW an awful, load noise from the subwoofer. It was evident that a connection of some variety was loose, being poorly constructed and set up.
The case is not easily taken apart on the subwoofer. I tried unscrewing the back plate, but there is no cord slack, and you cannot remove it or the internals at all. I didn't force it, and simply closed it up.
I found the only way to stop the bass belching was to slap, rather hard, the side of the sub.
Eventually, I started getting bass "pings" that sounded like something randomly bouncing or striking the sub. These were not fixable, but they were sporadic.
However, not too much time went by before the system was completely unusable.
I've now purchased the Logitech z 5500 series speakers, which cost entirely more, but will undoubtably be worth it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002WPSBC/ref=dp_cp_ob_title_0
While the x-530's sound pretty good, they lack much control over individual speaker settings, tone, etc. Their sound in no way makes up for the poor construction and design that went into them.
I honestly recommend saving your money for a better set of speakers. While these are cheap, you absolutely get what you pay for (cheap speakers), and you are wasting your [...]$. Better to save it and get something a step up.

"Great product"
I have had these speakers for over two months now and they work great. They where easy to setup and the sound is great. I haven't had one problem with them yet. If anything changes within the year I will update this post, but at the moment I am very impressed with the quality of sound these little speakers can produce.

For what its worth the speakers I owned before this were also Logitech and they lasted me for six years with out problems, until a few months ago.

"Refreshed "
the logitech x-530 70-watt 5.1 speaker system that i just purchased is a refurbished system which looks and sounds new, speakers product a great an life like response.
HardwareCooling, which sold me the unit when out of the way to resolve a problem that i had and did everything they said they would do to make me a happy customer.
So for their excellent customer service, same-day shipping i give HardwareCooling Inc. a thums-up (Plus) a #5 stars rating. Tom

"Sound Great"
Speakers came pretty quick. They sound excellent, except for the fact like so many others, the center speaker does not work. Not to worried about it because they still sound good enough for what i use them for. All in all, I am happy with the purchase, and what i paid for em here saved me $$.
