Pros: Matrix feature, affordable, decent sound quality
Cons: For me, none
I've had mine for almost 5 years, still breathing and still sounds great! I've had mine short circuit for two times because and fixed it, still sounds the same. So far this is the best for me and I don't think I'm gonna replace it. I'm in love with it.

Pros: Price and sound
Cons: not much at this price
Simple to setup with lots of fun for surround coded games.  One of the best value package for selling price.  Have to spend much more to get better.

Pros: Great sound for its price, durable, easy to assemble.
Cons: Front speaker cables may be too short, sub is exposed and may be prone to accidental damage
I have had these speakers for almost 6 years now. Downgraded from my old Logitech Z680. The sub of the Logitech Z-680 had a buzzing sound within a few months of use that forced me to set the bass volume to less than 10% (although it was sufficient enough for decent bass). Until now the X-540s have not shown any signs of aging or sound deterioration. This considering that the speakers have been dropped a few times as I relocated 3 times and also had my little brother's toys thrown at them occasionally causing a minor dent on one of the speaker grills, it still performs well after 6 years. No distortion, and no discernible deterioration of sound quality. At least I didn't notice it. The sub doesn't have a grill and is exposed, although it is still intact since it always faces the floor and I often keep it in enclosed spaces.
 
The speakers are ideal for a small size room. I never had to go over 50% volume. The bass, despite its small size is no slouch, I had to set the bass to 25% max otherwise the neighbors would come knocking. The speakers can be wall mounted easily as well.
 
These speakers are perfect for the price. My only gripe with it would be the cable length and the inability to replace the cables. I had to use extension cables if I wanted to set the speakers a little further away from the sub. I don't expect the best sound from these speakers and therefore don't think anyone would want to replace the cables as it might have minimal positive effect at best. But still the experience I've had with it was positively great.
 
I also like the fact that I can control the main volume and bass volume through the extended dock.
 
Definitely better than the Z506 (which is "supposedly" an improvement model). I don't like the fact that the Z506's volume controller is on the right speaker. This limits the positioning of your right speaker. Also the bass volume controller is behind the bass, which would be an inconvenience for some, especially for those placing their sub inside a cabinet or enclosed spaces. Not to mention less drivers and are priced the same or higher.
 
I would purchase X-540s again if I could, and would definitely recommend these to anyone interested in a budget 5.1 computer speaker system.

Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System is a very nice device.
I just hate there is no microphone input on control panel.There is only a head phone
input.

Pros: low priced, actually delivers 5.1
Low prices on these, which if your looking for a cheap 5.1 then its not too bad.
 
Sound quality is what you would expect from a set under 100$ and the bass is surprisingly powerful for its size. 
 
The wires are too short to set this up as a surround sound anywhere except a dorm room
 
Good cheap gaming speakers, but not that great for music.

Pros: Very cheap.
Cons: A little grainy on the highs, can be very unbalanced tonally
I bought this setup for $80. Not bad at all for this little system. Used it with my xbox for a while and loved it. It shines much better for movies and games than for music. It sounds nice, but you'll be able to pick out plenty of flaws if your an audiophile. The subwoofer, for being so small, is actually very good, and gets much more thump out than you'd expect.For someone looking for a lot of sound for their computer or their TV in a smaller room, definitely get this, but dont expect the world.
 
Note. I actually ended up velcro-ing the speakers to the wall of my '86 truck when the stereo died. This thing RUMBLESSSSSSS  in the tiny cab of my toyota, but is still not good for anything that has higher vacals. the speakers are just too small to handle very much
