hello and welcome to heartburn box I'm your host Matt and today we're looking at logitech's flagship surround sound speaker system Bizet 906 I've personally been a longtime user with Logitech's previous flagship model deserve 5500 it's been really good as a one-size-fits-all solution for gaming movies TV music basically anything I could throw at it admittedly I'm not a massive audiophile but I do like a good system when I hear it and I do love having plenty of volume at my disposal Zen 9:06 is ready to walk in 500 watts RMS which is going to be plenty for anyone in that bedroom or living room I know the Z 5500 is happening for me let's open up the box now take a look inside as you can see it's a pretty big heavy box up top we've got just the instruction manual it's pretty smart packaging so a little bit of cardboard here holding it together and then you've actually got two handles so you can slide out the subwoofer box pretty easily so take a look at that first alright now let's take a look at the subwoofer itself so it's actually it's an 8 inch side firing port and subs wow this is actually 2 inches smaller than theirs at 5500 which was a 10 inch sub it's actually got slightly less power as well rated it's 165 watts compared to the 187 on the z 5500 fitting it round get all your inputs along the back and the color-coded speaker wires and you'll also notice compared to the 5500 you don't have the amp and the big heat sink on the outside that have actually fitted that inside the box this time and hopefully there's no heat issues we've got the power cord just pretty much it so it's a little understated nice black sleek design which should fit into your living room a little more subtly than the out of their 5500 box did popping open the other internal box so on top we've got a little remote control so only a few buttons on this guy and honestly it's really light pretty well very cheap feeling if I'm honest just sort of matte smooth plastic and it takes three Triple A batteries which is quite a lot good news logitech has included the batteries funds you've just got level volume up and down affect power in select input and the mute button and that's it here's the bundling speaker wire it is only 18 gauge speaker wire however you can slot in thicker wire if you wish over 18 gauge can be plenty for mainstream users which is product is aimed at here the speaker's themselves satellites and the centre's so um I was pop one out of the plastic just 335 watts RMS coming out to these five speakers which is a lot it should be plenty it's more than theirs at 5500 ton design-wise I like these these are nice so on the bottom we don't have feet um or stand there's just these two smooth rubber pads which is nice design is all black and it matches the sub this should fit into your living room a lot better than there's a 5500 stood they don't a silver and try to sort of I don't they're going for a fancy look but they don't really look like sleek and premium this will fit in with into your living room a lot better I feel yeah quite weighty and on the back is active actually included a bit of screw thread so you can mount them to wall if you wish although there's a mounting gear included we have to supply that yourself we've also got just the plain three and a half mil audio jack cables here and lastly we've got the center console control so pop that open for you so what I do like is this is stackable with all your other entertainment units so the longer platter some portrait design Funds wise we've got power you can select your input here so there's six you can have up to six inputs which is pretty cool you can choose the effect so if you select in the decoding system there we've got a mute button and level there are some LED lights in there all orange on this device this actually shows you which of the speakers this far away and of course we've got just a volume control in the middle so it matches the rest of the styling just sleep black pretty subtle and which is nice now the moment I've been waiting for let's plug these in see how they sound if you are going to set up the system in your living room and watch movies in the dark then you might find the standard LEDs a little bit brighter than the center console and be distracting I thought if they're going to go with the premium sort of advanced field and an LCD screen like on their 5500 probably would have been a better choice my only other complaint usability wise was the remote control like I mentioned earlier it's pretty ugly cheap and tacky feeling and I thought Logitech could have done better performance-wise Z 906 as much as you'd expect from Logitech and I thought it really fits the current 330 dollar bill you have plenty of base clear mid-range and more distortion feed volume than you're ever going to need in your bedroom features wise while 6 inputs was plenty I thought the lack of a HDMI pass-through was real that down in an oversight by Logitech especially on a product that's trying to infiltrate the living-room screw threads on the rear of the speaker was a nice touch you could improve it on the dead 5500 and I also like the Logitech stuck with standard speaker wires overall you're looking for a powerful system to use with your PC you could also use in your living room if you aren't expecting movie theater quality and the Zen 9:06 could be the way to go this has been Matt from hardware unboxed I hope you like this video if you did hit like hit subscribe and we'll see you next time yeah
