Surround sound for less than 300 euros: sound system with 5.1 & THX certification with an unbeatable price-performance ratio

Good, powerful sound doesn’t have to be expensive. That shows the noise-canceling headphones from Anker Soundcore, which we already reported on this week. Today we present you a sound system that will make your living room vibrate for little money.

Realistic 5.1 surround sound for little money

With a total power of 500 watts, the Logitech Z906 offers enough power for action-packed gaming and filming. And it’s all here now already for 275.66 euros at Amazon.

Logitech delivers amazingly balanced and detailed sound with the Z906, which does not distort even at high volumes. The loudspeakers come into their own especially with Hollywood blockbusters with a lot of action, the subwoofer pleases with its considerable depth. Dolby Digital and DTS sound are converted to 5.1 surround sound.

Old but gold: Since the Logitech system has been on the market for a few years, it does not support the latest audio technologies such as Dolby Atmos. On the other hand, the equipment is impressive: the system offers six inputs to connect multiple devices at the same time without the need for an AV receiver, as is the case with most surround systems. The clearly arranged control panel also enables simple operation.

On the other hand, we advise music lovers not to buy it. The one-way satellites are particularly weak in the mid-range and are therefore not suitable for audiophile music enjoyment. A pair of stereo speakers cuts a much better figure, like this one Teufel Ultima 40 floor standing speaker*. For 399.99 euros you get full hi-fi sound for an incredibly low price. If the mighty floorstanding speakers are too big for you, it’s worth taking a look at the compact ones as well Ultima 20 bookshelf speakers*.

Teufel: The alternative to the Logitech surround set

Even when it comes to surround systems, you can’t get around the speaker specialists from Teufel from Berlin. What Teufel offers in terms of value for money is rarely surpassed. This is what Teufel offers in the entry-level class Consono 25 MK3 “5.1 kit”* bee. For a short time you get the set for 279.99 euros and even save on shipping costs. Just like with Logitech, you get rich, clear sound for little money. However, an AV receiver is required here to operate the speakers. Cheap 5.1 receivers can be found from around 500 euros.
