Logitech G-560

Interactive RGB lighting for gamers

The Logitech G560 is a rather unusual 2.1 wireless speaker set aimed primarily at gamers. At the first acquaintance with this acoustics, nothing unusual catches the eye. Attention is attracted only by a rather large and strict rectangular subwoofer. Later, the subwoofer is hidden under the table and it turns out that the real stars of the show are small satellites with RGB lighting. Moreover, the backlight is unusual, but for 16 million colours.

Maximum immersion effect

It works like this: columns read colour information from the four main areas of the monitor and copy them. If you put the speakers closer to the wall, they seem to become a continuation of the monitor, highlighting each of its facets with the same colour. Theoretically, it looks damn impressive. Especially if the picture is static. But in fact it does not always work out beautifully.

Support for major game hits

If the colours on the monitor change too quickly, as often happens in games, the satellites do not always keep up with the dynamics. There is a slight delay that blurs the immersive effect. Logitech Gaming Software is designed to solve this problem, in which you can select a backlight profile with the desired dynamics for a specific game. At the time of the presentation of games that support this technology, there were not so many, but the list is gradually expanding and now you can find many hits like Battlefield 5, DOTA 2 and GTA V there.

High quality surround sound

In terms of sound, the G560 deserves a solid five. With support for DTS:X Ultra surround sound, you can perfectly hear where the voices, footsteps or growls of enemies come from. Well, a large-caliber subwoofer (system power 120 W) sounds shots and magic volleys so powerfully and realistically that it seems that you really got inside the game world.

Everything has to be paid

Finally, we note that although this is not the most common set, you will have to pay a lot for this uniqueness — a class 2.1 system with similar characteristics and sound quality, but without backlighting, can be found one and a half to two times cheaper.
