Affordable Logitech Z607 speakers with 5.1 surround sound, Bluetooth and FM radio
Logitech next month will release a new speaker, the Z607. The company positions this mainly as a living room system where everything can be connected; Bluetooth is supported as well as FM Radio. At a price of 129 Euros/USd the kit will not be expensive.
The kit id based on a 25W subwoofer and five satellite speakers (55 watts rms total). You can listen to sources via 3.5mm, RCA cables, Bluetooth 4.2, an SD card and a USB stick (both up to 32 GB). A nice extra is the built-in FM radio. Extra-long 6.2m rear satellite speaker cables allow for optimal placement in living rooms, gaming spaces, offices, bedrooms—just about anywhere you want.
Set them on desks, consoles, and end tables, or easily mount them to the wall.2 With 160 Watts Peak, this 5.1 speaker system wraps your space in high-quality audio that sounds amazing. Enjoy true surround sound from any source—your TV, phone, computer, games, and more. You can even play audio content directly from SD cards, USB drives or FM radio.
The 133.35 mm subwoofer driver pumps out bass you can feel, while the included remote and extra-long rear cables make it easy to set up and use. Logitech will make the Z607 Surround Sound with bluetooth available from November 23 for a suggested retail price of 129 euros.

Unless Logitech has improved its quality control from the z506 speakers I'd recommend a different brand. Within a week my sub would cut out completely from mild use. Also Logitech customer support was a nightmare to initiate the RMA process. Reviews are high for the z506 speakers but peer into them and these issues start to show. Cheap price yes. Worth it no. However, I could be wrong about this new product. That's just my experience.

Not all BT is the same.
Lots of Hi-res audio equipment out there supporting 900kbit and around 5-8 different codecs/processing from the different companies/brands behind it.
Looked up the specs what 4.xx and 5.xx can do..
Besided that, its not even hires or thx certified, and the ppl buying for BT most likely ate not looking for high quality sound, the ones that do will most likely not even look at this.
Similar to complaining that car yx can only do 60mph, when the speed limit is 55..

Yeah you'd definitely hear it but I think, like you said, its more about the convenience and people shopping at that price range probably prefer the convenience over the quality loss. If you want the best of both worlds it appears to have an aux port - you could run something like a chromecast audio to it for $35.
