There are no lighting elements on the subwoofer unit, but on each speaker there are four bright RGB LEDs accompanied by strip LEDs within hollowed-out chamber elements. Each of these sets of lights can be uniquely illuminated. Smartphone, MP3-Player, TV, Tablet, Game Console, Desktop PC, Blu-ray Player, Notebook, Audio System, CD/MP3 Player 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.
The G560 comes with a very powerful down-firing subwoofer which proved to be amazing for things like explosions but became quite overpowering at low volumes while listening to music. Adjustments in the software help a little but you're on your own if you've connected to bluetooth.
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. The G560s are controlled via the Logitech Gaming Software, which, while simple enough to navigate, perhaps isn’t as feature-rich as Corsair’s CUE. There are plenty of controls to the sound signature (including the much-needed ‘Drop The Bass’ preset), and you can adjust the RGB lighting to match the colour scheme of your preference. The Logitech G560s are clearly a very targeted product. Having flashing RGB lights that far surpass any keyboard or mouse is certainly going to garner much attention. It’s a shame, then, that Logitech appears to have made some fundamental mistakes that could have been avoided with a little more user testing. A software update can likely fix many of the problems.
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 Logitech G560 is a 2.1 PC speaker set with RGB lighting. It features the company’s new Lightsync technology, which changes the colour of the light to reflect what’s going on in your game, or to match what’s on your monitor. The lighting itself is super-bright and colourful, and while there are numerous standalone effects from which to choose, things get interesting upon enabling in-game integrations.It's also worth pointing out that if you have the Nvidia GeForce Experience software installed, you should disable its overlay, or else your games won't automatically switch lighting or sound profiles. This isn't a bug with the Logitech software, but learning from my mistake could save you a lot of trouble. There are plenty of good reasons to buy the G560 – but, unfortunately, there are also as many reasons not to, which is a shame. There’s also an infrequent issue with static interference caused by the Bluetooth, where turning on the speakers will introduce an audible buzz. It’s easily rectified by turning the speakers off and on again, but it’s no less frustrating. Logitech G560 Speakers – Software and RGB lighting While the lighting was a huge factor in the immersion aspect, the precision of the positional audio really impressed us too. We don't normally like the virtual surround of 7.1 digital gaming headsets but were pleasantly surprised with how well DTS:X worked with the G560, especially while trying to pinpoint where we were being shot at in Fortnite. It's the perfect compromise if you want surround sound without the hassle of a 5.1 or 7.1 set.
The integrated lighting is the primary thing that distinguishes the G560 from the competition, and it's impressive — for the most part. By taking advantage of four separate lighting zones, it's possible to do a lot of cool and subtle things with the G560, from attractive color cycling to preprogrammed patterns in games like Fortnite and Final Fantasy XIV. (You can also turn the lights off completely, if you're the kind of person who eats plain Cheerios while listening to Imagine Dragons.)However, the coolest lighting option on hand is also the most inconsistent. Logitech has implemented a feature called a "screen sampler," which allows you to split your desktop screen into quadrants and take color samples from each. These colors will then correspond to the G560's four lighting zones. For example, suppose you're playing StarCraft, managing a Terran base in the upper-left corner while waging war on the Zerg in the lower right. One speaker will show you subdued blues and grays; another will show you a shifting series of browns, purples, reds and yellows. It isn’t one for purists, and if you primarily listen to music then there are better alternatives out there. However, it’s great for games as gunfire and explosions sound all the more moving thanks to the rumbling lows. If you live in a thin-walled home, though, I’ll add that these speakers will almost certainly cause issues with the neighbours. The G560 provided rich, immersive sound, regardless of the genre. Whether I used DTS 7.1 surround sound (with a preset gaming EQ profile) or standard stereo, the audio broadcast the full range of everything I needed to hear: voice work, sound effects and music. Sweeping orchestral tunes dominated Pillars of Eternity, while the roar of gunfire was front and center in Overwatch. Because the G560 supports surround sound, you can even position your speakers a little creatively and feel like a whole game is taking place right around your ears. Lighting in game-specific profiles, like Portal 2, isn’t much better than the Screen Sampler tool, if perhaps are a little more tame. You can also set general lighting patterns like breathing and color cycling, as well sync these settings across other Logitech RGB accessories. Don’t have those matching accessories? Then you won’t have lighting patterns in sync across your hardware. The Logitech Gaming Software also allows you to switch the lighting options over to the hardware. This lets you connect a device via Bluetooth and still see a fancy light show — a handy application for a party. Bluetooth connectivity is simple and efficient, although the audio quality is understandably better through the USB cable. Logitech G560 Gaming Speakers review: Music performance
