Cant see anything else that could compete unless you have more spare space for the edifier bookshelf style speakers that wouldn't fit behind my monitor. I ran the G560 through just about every genre in my playlist: rock, bluegrass, punk, classical and more. It appears to feature a single sided PCB using a switching PSU design based on the K13A6 power regulator we see heatsinked in the middle.

Unfortunately that lighting effect will run you quite a bit of money, relative to the sound quality. But while it handles the top part of the spectrum with aplomb, you can't actually make it that quiet, at least on a PC.Overall, there are two large vertical boxes, one containing the subwoofer, and another with most everything else. Now that we’re all certified Logitech G650 experts, let’s dig into the review by first taking a look at the speaker’s packaging! Logitech and its peers have always talked about keyboard lighting contributing to immersion, stuff like that—but I’m rarely if ever looking at my keyboard while gaming, and the backlighting isn’t nearly bright enough to signal anything.

This is one area where I normally don’t rank audio devices since they really only serve one purpose.While an input selector would prevent overlap, this "feature" to play multiple sources at once actually turned out to be quite handy. You can mess with different EQ presets in G Hub and I found those to be beneficial when switching between movies, games and albums. And then on the back of each speaker there are much larger lights designed to illuminate the wall behind them, assuming you have your desk in front of a wall. Built-in LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting blasts game driven lighting colors and effects activated by the audio in many popular games.

From here choosing the brightness and colours is a doddle, as is deciding whether you want some fancy colour cycling. Therefore, those who don't have their PC desk flush against a wall may not find the G560 a good option. The lights are pretty and innocuous, but they can also be distracting, due to some issues with the software and some aggressive lighting defaults. The Logitech G560 arrived at our GND-Tech HQ testing facility in a perfect bill of health, unscathed by our local mail courier.While I don’t think the G560 is a must-have speaker system, I hope it’s the first of many products with ambient RGB lighting. Decreasing the bass will silence the woofer, but you'll also stop hearing bass sounds through the regular speakers. There are lots of PC accessories (including other speakers) with RGB capability, so the one factor that sets the Logitech G560 apart is LIGHTSYNC, Logitech's proprietary software feature that synchronizes RGB lighting with the real-time conditions of compatible games.

You'll use the Logitech Gaming Software not only to configure lighting options but also to activate surround sound, switch between equalization settings and create profiles for individual games. I installed the speakers on a corner desk which left me plenty of room to place the subwoofer behind the monitor.During this part of the review I try to be as subjective as possible, but my mind is drawing up blanks trying to come up with negatives to say about the Logitech G560.
