Gotchaforce Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Guess what guys!! I got the z-5500 speakers last week. The one i got is the newer version of z-5500. The wires are exactly the same as z-680. Each speakers have its own red and black jack on the back and so as the subwoofer. NO MORE PREWIRE or BUILT IN WIRE SPEAKERS. I guess logitech has alot of complaints about the wires on the z-5500. That is why, they changed it. If you guys got the older version and you dont like the built in wire speaker, maybe you guys should sell it on ebay.. :devil: 585485779[/snapback] holy crap, logitech is genius! the z680s have ungodly amount of whitenoise too.. it sucks ass.

Chosen One Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 well I had the z680's and I currenty have the z5500 and having the wires built in doesnt really make difference..sure it just means u cant cut to ur own lenght but they give u more then enough. If u want more just get an extention on to it.

+dave164 Subscriber¹ Posted February 17, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 17, 2005 They arent bad, but seperate wires is better, you can buy a better grade/shielding + cut your own length. 585164188[/snapback] Couldn't you just get phono extentions?

X@vier Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 okay peeps, How often are u really going to be moving ur speakes once u set them up? Like some1 said, the front come with 20FT and the back ones come with 25FT wires, long enought for any room and if u need more u can always get the extension. I would find it more troublesome having to cut my wire every time I move my speakers and stuff. Having the wires separate from the speakers makes no diff in my books. The Z5500 kick a$$!!!!........... now back to waking up the dead :p X@vier Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/261905-logitech-z-680-vs-z-5500/page/2/#findComment-585487863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrogers Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hey guys, just so you know the Z-5500s now come with the same detachable wire as the Z-680s. I just got my new 5500s in from Dell earlier this week and as a couple of others reported over in Reviews for Members, they do indeed have the spring-clips on the back of each speaker. So hold back your purchases no more ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/261905-logitech-z-680-vs-z-5500/page/2/#findComment-585489292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Logitech Z-680 = $165.00 Shipped from Justdeals.comLogitech Z-5500 = $260.00 + Shipping from Monarch Computer BIG difference in cost in the US. 585488665[/snapback] Yeah, but the ones at JustDeals are refurbs, and their customer rating isn't all that great either. Buying new Z-680s would be about as much as the 5500s.
