Aside from loudness, the other thing that’s really noticeable about the G560 sound is how very bassy it is. Again, I love a good bit of bass, but at default settings I found it overpowering. I suspect that Logitech knows it, too: within LGS there’s a pre-made “Lower The Bass” profile, as well as a custom equaliser. I found I had to pull the bass down by a huge -10db to enjoy it. The Logitech G560 are designed to be the dream set of gaming speakers, offering a compact design, powerful sound, and RGB lighting that reacts to in-game events. 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.
There are plenty of good reasons to buy the G560 – but, unfortunately, there are also as many reasons not to, which is a shame. After purchasing and tinkering with the Logitech G560 speakers for the past few months I've found a setup which tames all the audio bugs and unleashes its excellent sonic potential. Full guide below:Every manufacturer wants to get behind RGB lightning. Logitech is among one of the last to enter the game – pun intended. It follows Creative and Razer to be yet another big name-manufacturer to offer built-in customisable and colourful 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: 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 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.
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. Fabric mesh grilles are wrapped around the speakers’ 2.5-inch (63.5mm) drivers, but not the 6.5-inch (165mm) subwoofer driver. The down-firing subwoofer is much larger at 404 x 255 x 207mm, but it should still fit nicely into the majority of setups. Besides, the incredible bass produced by the sub is more than enough to make up for the large dimensions!While our setup here looks so much more premium than it did before, the lighting isn’t as nuanced as we’d like it to be, especially when using the Screen Sampler mode. Also, the speakers need to support more of the latest games with custom lighting profiles. PUBG and Fortnight should be a given. 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. 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. Logitech Gaming Software, or LGS for short, allows granular control over not only the lighting, but also the audio output of the gaming speakers and other Lightsync-enabled devices. In terms of the G560 speakers, it provides the option to customise the ‘G’ button on the right speaker. By default, it’s used to control the brightness of the lighting, but you can reprogram it to be a mute button, trigger an in-game macro and more.
