Get the most from your games and movies with the adrenaline-pumping surround sound of the Logitech X-530 5.1 Speaker System. Its subwoofer and satellites use the latest technological advances to ensure consistent audio at any volume. Plug the Logitech X-530 into your PC, music player, DVD player, or even your PlayStation® or Xbox® game console and immerse yourself in clean, crisp, consistent surround sound from your games, movies, and more.

The result: a clear, uniform sound field without the “hot spots” and inconsistency of other dual-driver satellites.

* FDD2 satellite technology produces uniform sound field for rich results
* Dedicated center channel enhances dialogue
* Master volume and subwoofer level controls for convenient access

Customer feedback:
1. i have just tested yesterday, connecting with a dvd player, that has dolby digital decode built-in, maybe this kinds of dvd player has no good quality decoding, but the sound i heard yesterday was amazing, especially the subwoofer, it’s like the theater sound really. Although the power is only 70 watts, and with peak of 140, the sound power were outstanding. I tested with, Return of the king, Das Boot, The impire strikes back, kill bill vol 2, and it’s like to see a new complete different movie!.
2. This speaker system is designed to handle the audio specturm with high degree of professionalism. The handling of base is very excellent but guys unless u have a dolby 5.1 device or a adapter you wouldnt need all the speakers given. 3 speakers will simply sleep in the box. other than that i highly recommand this piece.

Customer feedback:
1. Really nice product. The only annoying thing is the red light. Though is to let you know the card is working, it shouldnt be too flashy. Besides that, the software and the controls are easy to use. Recommended for any notebook user that wish to have good quality 5.1 sound with their system without expending money on a expensive pcmcia(pc card) or express card sound card(that actually requires another adapter for the card to be able to use 5.1 speakers, so yeah, too expensive).
2. If you’re looking for a cheap sound card that works and that you don’t have to install then this is the one. There is a slight lag when the sound card initially receives data which only lasts for half a second or so due to the USB connection. It works great for movies, songs, and games. It is a good buy.

* Built-in Surround control
* Convenient volume control
* Long 16ft./5m cord
* Single-sided cord
* Neodymium rare-earth magnet for rich and powerful sound
Customer feedback:
1. The sound quality is remarkably good for the price, especially if you’re using them primarily to watch movies, when the ‘Surround Sound’ gives the music and FX a lot more presence.
Pros (5 stars)
- Price
- Sound quality when ‘surround’ is switched on [phones still work when it's off]
- Volume control [also works when 'surround' is off]
- Over-the-ear cups help shut out any ambient room noise
- Extra long cord [16.4 ft]
Cons (1 star)
- Surround sound requires 1 AAA battery [phones still work without one, and with 'surround' off, but the sound is pretty thin by comparison]
- Slightly heavier than others we tried, but still reasonably light [10.6 oz]
- Head band a bit tight at first, but loosens up with use
2. I had spent some time over the last few months looking at surround sound headphones but never actually made a purchase. The only real thing holding me back was the price… I wasn’t sure about dropping $100-$200 on a pair of headphones. Well my fiance found these for me on the panasonic website and they seemed to fit the bill nicely. Honestly I wasn’t really expecting all that much for the price, but WOW I’m impressed. I use them mostly for PC gaming and it really does add a whole new dimension. Great for games, music and movies too. I’d buy them again in an instant (in fact I may buy a second pair to give to my sister soon).

Customer feedback:
1. Most people who already own a xbox 360 this product may be very tempting and some people have been waiting months on this. You could use this to store music on your xbox hard drive as well as videos and xbox live arcade games and game demos.
For people who are continually running out of space on their 360 this is a Godsend. If you’re downloading HD movies you’ll really appreciate this. If you want to store your music on your 360 you’ll love this. However, if you’re just using the xbox 360 hard-drive for your game saves then this is more than you’ll ever use.
2. The drive comes with a kit (disc and USB cable) that allow you to easily transfer all your data from your old 20GB drive to the 120GB one. The transfer was easy and hassle-free. The entire process took less than 90 minutes. When I turned on the 360 afterwards with the new drive attached, everything booted up exactly as it had with the old 20GB drive. There was no further configuration or registration needed. All data had been preserved perfectly – downloaded demos, trailers, and other content, saved game data, music, etc. The new drive is even a little bit faster than the old one – although it’s possible that my old one had gotten fragmented and that was slowing it down, so maybe it’s really the same speed.
