"I don't know what the phrase "gaming peripherals" means to you, but to many technology enthusiasts it usually means an overdone combination of odd colors, excessively distracting LEDs, tasteless designs, and equipment built with pages over pages of compromises in the name of 'gaming'. However, equipment slapped with the gaming label doesn't actually guarantee poor quality all the time. The Logitech G51 surround sound speakers are designed and marketed as gaming speakers, but how does this 5.1 set fit into the category of daily usage and real life applications for stuff such as music in addition to audio positioning in games? I can't help but notice all the glowing reviews on this set of speakers for the last few months, and to be honest I was a bit skeptical -- I mean, if the subwoofer is powerful enough to knock things off your desk and cause pictures to fall off your wall, or alter your house's structural integrity, it's an earthquake machine capable of delivering a magnitude of seismic energy earning at least a 4.5 on the Richter scale. Generally speaking, we'll check into how these speakers really perform on an objective scale in our subjective tests of what we think of these speakers today."
