Logitech G launches new PC Gaming Speaker with Lightsync
Logitech G today announces two new additions to their family of gaming gear. The Logitech G560 PC Gaming Speaker is the first dedicated gaming speaker system with Lightsync, a technology that synchronizes light and sounds to gameplay.
Joining the speaker is the new Logitech G513 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. The Logitech G513 also features LIGHTSYNC RGB, provides the choice of two Romer-G mechanical key switches and a premium palm rest for a comfortable experience. Logitech G continues to expand its range of high-performance gear that is purpose-built for the needs of gamers, and push innovation in RGB to new immersive levels.
The Logitech G560 provides 240 Watts Peak/120 Watts RMS power, which delivers amazing sound for music and PC games, and 3D audio with DTS:X® Ultra 1.0 for in-game positional audio. Together this improves accuracy, and heightens intensity and realism, giving gamers a more immersive and fun experience. The G560 speakers are built on Logitech's rich 25-year heritage in designing premium audio devices.
Powered by advanced LIGHTSYNC technology, the Logitech G560 synchronizes brilliant RGB lighting and powerful audio in real time to match on-screen gameplay action. Light and animation effects can be customized across approximately 16.8 million colors, with four lighting zones. The Logitech G560 features multiple connection options including USB, 3.5mm and Bluetooth. This combined with built-in Logitech Easy-Switch™ technology, enables you to switch seamlessly between any four connected devices such as a PC, smartphone and tablet, so you can listen to your favorite playlist off your phone while playing a PC game. LIGHTSYNC technology also works with video and music content allowing you to enjoy immersive light and sound beyond gaming.
LIGHTSYNC Powered Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The Logitech G513 takes Logitech’s award-winning design in keyboards to the next level with RGB lighting and LIGHTSYNC support. The keyboard offers the choice of two Logitech G exclusive Romer-G mechanical key switches, Romer-G Tactile and Romer-G Linear. The tactile version provides soft tactile feedback during actuation for gamers who prefer direct feedback, while the linear version gives you a smooth keystroke. All Romer G keys offer fast and quiet competition-grade performance, and bright sharp lighting, all in a key that is more reliable and durable than standard mechanical switches. The switches actuate up to 25 percent faster than the leading competitor at a distance of 1.5mm, combined with a low-force 45g actuation, to provide near-instant responsiveness.
The Logitech G513 features an anodized and brushed aircraft-grade 5052 aluminum top case for a slim, premium design with rigid durability, an integrated USB extension passthrough port and an optional palm rest to deliver comfort during long sessions.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G560 PC Gaming Speaker and G513 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard are expected to be available at global retailers beginning April 2018 for suggested retail prices of $199.99 and $149.99, respectively. The keyboard is available in two colors, Carbon which is available worldwide and Silver (Romer-G Tactile only), available in select markets.

Last month my Z-5500 had its 10th anniversary! Ok, the backlight stopped working a few years ago, but the rest is still completely fine! And if I compare it with my Yamaha HS8 they really sound quite nice for a PC-Speakersystem that had the pricetag of only one HS8! a kind of Z-7700 would be very cooool.... ;-)

Used a Creative T20 II system for almost 7 years before it gave up. Best speakers I've owned! Great sound, build in bass (no sub) and played pretty loud. Nowadays it's gotta be RGB and gimmicks...sigh! The other Creative T range products has build in power saving (in EU) which cannot be turned off, absolutely terrible.

I've been using an onkyo 7.1 av receiver and full range sony speakers and a sub for the past 15 years. They sound fantastic. The new stuff I speculate are for the new folk or older folk with broken gear. The older era speakers and amps are just fantastic and upgrades unlike a gpu or cpu cannot be justified for audio. Sound has reached its maximum progress.
