There are a lot of people who spend a lot of money just to have that perfect ‘gaming' rig. From the fastest processors and video cards, up to the casing that will be used, gamers consider their PCs to be an investment. Among the PC peripherals that is given attention to are the speakers, which has a direct effect on audio output. Music, videos, and even games do not sound as good in a 2.1 speaker system as compared to a 5.1 speaker system.

In fact, audiophiles will tell you that good speakers must be able to handle all frequencies (highs, mids, and lows) with ease and make anyone enjoy the game, music, or movie. Logitech's goal is just that, and has launched the G51, an affordable speaker system that promises to bring surround sound in any gaming domain.
The Logitech G51 comes with four satellites, a center channel, a subwoofer, a control pod, and a six-channel input cable out of the box. Hooking up and putting the speaker system altogether was a snap, thanks to its well-labeled ports. Excluding the subwoofer, the speaker system sports a champagne fascia, which, for us, looks like it cannot complement any PC or monitor, not to mention, any room. Users also have the option to mount the speakers with its rotating stands, while the center channel can be placed on top of one's LCD monitor with ease with its center-channel clip.
The control pod also has a lot of things going on as well, as users can instantly control the main volume, subwoofer volume, rear volume, and center channel volume with ease. An Audio Mute button, Microphone Mute Button, Power/Standby Button, as well as a Matrix Surround Sound button is also located on the control center, with a headphone and microphone jack conveniently found on the left side of the unit.
