About this deal

My equaliser settings have a fair bit of sub bass and clear highs. I'm very impressed with how they sound now. To replicate my equaliser settings: Now everybody has different preferences, of course, and there are plenty of users that will want to crank up the bass. However, in their default state, the low-end rumble of these units washes out everything to a rather comical degree. Even if a game doesn’t specifically support Logitech’s RGB SDK, the Logitech G software (which we go into more detail about below) provides a customisable screen sampling mode. Simply highlight the areas of your game that the speakers should recreate and you’ll get an effect similar to officially-supported games. It’s a great addition as it doesn’t limit the impressive LED setup to a relatively small list of officially-supported games; from AAA games to unknown indie games, you’ll have your reactive ambient lighting.

Smartphone, MP3-Player, TV, Tablet, Game Console, Desktop PC, Blu-ray Player, Notebook, Audio System, CD/MP3 Player Overall, I was unhappy with the initial volume issues, but once those were resolved, I came to seriously enjoy the G560. The bass is booming, the RGB is tasteful and there’s a decent amount of customizability through G Hub. I’m sure you could find comparable studio speakers that run circles around Logitech’s offering — drivers with much clearer sound — but what’s here interfaces well with games and looks nice while doing it. Beyond this fixable problem, how did the G560 sound during gaming? Quite excellent, I’d say. In terms of power, the dedicated subwoofer propels this setup way past my trusty Nommo Chroma speakers, as every explosion sounds like it’s coming through the floorboards. DTS:X Ultra infused Halo Infinite play sessions with impressive spatial sound, and while general music sounds perfectly fine on these speakers, it’s not the best I’ve heard.

A truly immersive gaming experience

Still, my biggest gripe with the G560 ended up being rather significant but, ultimately, short-lived. I initially installed these speakers on a Windows 11 gaming PC and I immediately noticed that the volume curve was... strange. I had to slide the OS sound mixer into the 40ish range before the G560 achieved what I would call ‘normal’ volume. These allow the speakers to be controlled from the game you’re playing, opening up a whole new range of possibilities. Some are bright, obnoxious and impractical, but there are some real gems; my personal favourite is Smite’s cooldown timer effects, which visually display when an ability is ready to be used.

Logitech’s G560 is amongst a new breed of ‘gaming speakers’ appearing on the market in 2018 – but what makes a 2.1 speaker setup specific to gamers? RGB lighting, of course. Like Rather, the lights simply appear to flash all sorts of colors in a sort of rhythm with the motions and sounds on screen during intense sequences. During moments of more steady motion and pure color, however, the speakers work beautifully to match the tones and hues. It’s sad then that those moments are few and far in between in most games. The "Include" option is just a text file that contains some extra bass boost settings which I've included below) Panel 3 - Preamplication. This reduces the overall volume so you have a more even volume curve in Windows. It should still be loud enough at 100% for most users. Increase the gain to if you require louder speakers at 100% volume in Windows.READ NEXT: Creative Sound BlasterX Katana review – a soundbar designed for desktops Logitech G560 review: Sound quality Every manufacturer wants to get behind RGB lightning. Logitech is among one of the last to enter the game – pun intended. It follows Creative and Razer to be yet another big name-manufacturer to offer built-in customisable and colourful lighting. Panel 2 - The Equaliser. If you'd like more sub bass you can drag up the 25, 40 and 65 frequencies up (do not adjust the subwoofer value in GHub). Feel free to tweak the entire equaliser as you see fit.
