About this deal

You can mess with different EQ presets in G Hub and I found those to be beneficial when switching between movies, games and albums. It should be noted that after I fixed the volume issues, this system can now get very loud. Cranking these speakers up to maximum insanity can literally shake the house, so if you end up grabbing a set, use them with care and a healthy bit of restraint. The "Include" option is just a text file that contains some extra bass boost settings which I've included below) 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.

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. Having said all that, the G560 does get plenty right. If you’re in the market for some powerful and compact speakers that will add flare to your gaming setup, then the Logitech G560 Lightsync Speakers are an excellent option. Verdict If you don't have any headphones or use a second audio device, press the power button on sections 1 to 4 to turn them off (otherwise you might end up applying the equaliser twice to your speakers!).My biggest complaint is that all of this can be quite distracting, and while photographs and YouTube videos will make it look incredible, in practical terms, it isn’t quite where I’d like it be to be. Fabric mesh grilles are wrapped around the speakers’ 2.5-inch (63.5mm) drivers, but not the 6.5-inch (165mm) subwoofer driver. 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 The G560 has a quoted 240W peak and 120W RMS output; that’s not as much as the 400/200W claimed by the Logitech Z625, but it’s still a hell of a lot of power. It’s certainly loud enough to fill a large living room, or even entertain an entire flat. 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.

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. 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.

First off install Firmware 122.1.21. Firmwares higher than this almost completely mute bass at low to normal volumes. You can downgrade safely with no issues. Once you've done this, proceed with the steps 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.
