I wanted a CAT6 ethernet cable to connect all the devices in my home (which require a stable, good, and reliable network connection), such as servers, media streaming devices, etc. I wanted shielded network cables to avoid any electromagnetic interference as I live in a densely populated area with various devices and networks around. Also, due to different needs, I bought all the available lengths.

In terms of positives:
The price-to-length ratio is quite good considering it is a shielded CAT6 cable.
The networking is stable and close to the maximum capabilities I desire (with a simple tp-link 5-port switch).
The cable, despite being shielded, is very soft and flexible, allowing it to be bent as needed inside the rack to connect all the small devices to the switch.
Lastly, a small detail is the plastic cover on the ethernet clip, which prevents the plastic security of the clip from "breaking" if it encounters any resistance for some reason - I loved Nedis for this.

I would prefer it for any other home networking job - or, in short, non-industrial use (because I would also use it in an internet cafe, company, university installation, etc.) and I highly recommend it.

I would prefer it for any other home networking job - or, well, let's put it this way, for any non-industrial job (because I would also use it in an internet café, company, university installation, etc.) and I highly recommend it.

I wanted a CAT6 ethernet cable to connect all the devices in my home (which require a stable, good, and reliable network connection), such as servers, media streaming devices, etc. Due to the lack of infrastructure, the cables would be routed through low channels in the wall, very close to power outlets, power strips, and electrical cables that were externally running along the wall due to the age of the house. Therefore, I wanted shielded network cables to avoid any interference. Also, due to different needs, I bought all the available lengths.

In the positives:
The price/length ratio is quite good considering it is a shielded CAT6 cable.
The networking is stable and close to the maximum capabilities I want (with a simple tp-link 5-port switch).
The cable, despite being shielded, is very soft and flexible, easily fitting into all the channels along with other cables, and it easily took all the necessary turns without causing any difficulties.
Lastly, a small detail is the plastic cover on the ethernet clip, which prevents the plastic security of the clip from "breaking" if it encounters any obstacles for some reason - I loved Nedis after this.

I would prefer it for any other home networking job - or, in short, non-industrial work (because I would also use it in an internet café, company, university installation, for example) and I highly recommend it.

I bought 2 pieces (25/5/2019) to use in a QNAP 2-bay NAS. It is the latest model in its category compared to others that may confuse you, and its advantage is the larger cache memory (256MB).

The receiver speeds for 5400rpm are more value for money than those of the same capacity at 7200rpm.

On the negative side, I must mention that these use a new controller which, when in RAID-0 (and I don't know if the NAS or the platform in general plays a role), produces a highly annoying sound, especially in silence. The sound is the classic sound of an HDD controller when the disk is first activated (like an electronic beep or a less noisy floppy drive, I can't explain it better), simply repeating.

Unfortunately, I looked it up and all diagnostics run perfectly, the disks work flawlessly, and from what I saw on some forums, this is how it is constructed, and since there is no risk to the disk, WD does not recognize it to change it. Because the NAS is in the living room, sometimes at night it tends to become annoying - hence the 4 stars.

Update (25-1-2022): Today, one of the 2 disks failed. Western Digital recognizes this particular disk as OEM and is not eligible for replacement. Of course, this is not an issue with WD but with the store that sold it to me. The price for 8TB is now prohibitively high. I am still not satisfied with the noise from the controller. Maybe I'll ditch the second one and go for something else.

Short version (tl;dr):
Fantasy illuminated speakers from Logitech that perform decently compared to other 2.1 speakers in the range of 70-90€. If you don't have any speakers at all, have the extra money, and want a pleasant aesthetic result in your space, choose these. If any of the three mentioned criteria are not met, stay away, you don't need them.

In more detail:
The speakers come in a very nice packaging. Their build quality is good, as they have a decent weight for their size and their plastics are good and sturdy without any creaking. They have the classic cloth in the front that all speakers have, not a metal grille.

For cable management enthusiasts, the speakers will be a challenge as there is a mess of cables. Specifically, the speakers are connected to the subwoofer with thick VGA cables (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector), the woofer, which is also an amplifier, is connected to the computer with a USB cable, and to the power outlet with a separate power cable.

The lighting is intense, powerful, and with good color reproduction. The speakers have two lighting zones that can be controlled independently both in terms of color and effect. One zone is on the back of the speaker in a round shape like a small projector, and one zone is on the side of each speaker, resembling a multi-lane road (!).

Their (default) sound is peculiar. It lacks the clarity and liveliness that I'm used to hearing from other speakers. It is a bit muffled and has a lot of bass, as if it's coming from somewhere deep. It doesn't seem to emphasize the mids and highs, but rather the low frequencies. I also expected the subwoofer to perform better in songs that rely on it, such as hip-hop/R&B genres - I expected it to create that "earthquake" feeling (like the subwoofer of the Z906 that I have in the living room), which it DOES NOT do. If the sound is adjusted through a preset or the equalizer in Logitech's software, it improves significantly, but even at the best possible settings, you can't enjoy clear mids and highs. Their volume is directly related to the Windows volume and reaches high levels (I operate them at 25-30% for a normal gaming room volume). However, any value above 50% simply worsens the sound quality rather than providing enjoyment.

You will need Logitech G-Hub software to adjust them. It has nice features that range from sound (presets/custom equalizer/surround - which I haven't tried, but with a 2.1 setup, what surround can you get), to lighting (zones/color/effects/synchronization with other Logitech devices), and of course, the highlight of these speakers (for anyone who has seen the marketing videos), which is the screen sampler. From the image reproduced on the monitor, it can make the speakers take on the appropriate color to provide a deeper experience (immersion) in movies and games.

For me, the speaker factor (because we're talking about speakers primarily) is rated very low as the sound quality itself is mediocre. Based on this, I would say they are below the level of the Z533 (which cost around 80-90€). On the other hand, I understand an increase in the price point when we are talking about speakers that have a bunch of customization options in sound and light, and some intelligence in terms of software behind them to take colors based on what one sees on their screen. However, for me, even so, the €250 price tag is not justified, especially when depending on the motherboard and USB port they are connected to, they may experience random disconnections even 2-3 times a day (it was a frequent occurrence with my Gigabyte, not so much with the ASROCK I have now). The only reason I can think of to recommend them to someone is if they don't have any speakers at all, they want something nice for their space if they support the light/RGB phase as a person, they are a gamer (not an audiophile), and they don't mind spending an extra €50-€60. I mention this amount because I believe their initial price should be around €180-€200 maximum.

Από μικρή ηλικία ξεκίνησα να έχω ξηροδερμία. Ως έφηβος εξελίχθηκε σε δερματίτιδα και τώρα πλέον με την ποιότητα ζωής εν έτει 2021 (το fast food, άγχος, στρες, ξενύχτι - όλα παίζουν τον ρόλο τους) έχω εξάρσεις και υφέσεις (αλλά κυρίως μόνο εξάρσεις) σμηγματοροϊκής δερματίτιδας. Στις χειρότερες των περιπτώσεων μεγάλες άσπρες πλάκες (οι οποίες από κάτω κρύβουν πύον) καλύπτουν σημεία του κεφαλιού μου, στα γένια μου και ενίοτε σε στέρνο και αλλού.

Από όσο θυμάμαι τον εαυτό μου προσπαθώ να καταπολεμήσω αυτά τα συμπτώματα που ξεκινάνε στην καλύτερη των περιπτώσεων ως "χίονι" σε όλο το γραφείο εν ώρα δουλειάς και στην χειρότερη ως μια αηδία που λερώνει το κεφάλι σου και κάνει τους γύρω σου να σε κοιτάνε περίεργα. Μου έχουν προτείνει διάφορα... Μπάνιο με πράσινο σαπούνι, με ξύδι. Τα κλασικά σαμπουάν κατά της πυτιρίδας. Τίποτα.

Πήρα αυτό μετά από πρόταση φίλου ο οποίος με μικρότερο πρόβλημα από εμένα το χρησιμοποιούσε για τα γένια του μόνο. Ακόμα και στις χειρότερες μέρες μου το συγκεκριμένο σκεύασμα κάνει θαύματα. Μέσα σε 2 μπάνια (δηλαδή για μένα 3-4 μέρες) μου επαναφέρει όλο το δέρμα στα φυσιολογικά του επίπεδα, ακόμα και αν προηγουμένως ήμουν στη χειρότερη εκδοχή. Όταν δε είμαι καλά αλλά το νιώθω ότι ξεκινάει να με πιάνει πάλι ξηροδερμία (συνήθως πρώτα ξεκινάει από τα γένια και το καταλαβαίνω από τη φαγούρα) ένα γρήγορο πλύσιμο στο μπάνιο μόνο το πρόσωπο αρκεί για να μην εμφανιστεί ούτε το παραμικρό χιονάκι. Μετά από τόσα χρόνια που παδεύομαι νομίζω βρήκα κάτι το θαυματουργό.

Στα αρνητικά του είναι ότι ξεραίνει την τρίχα αρκετά και ότι η μυρωδιά του είναι λίγο περίεργη εμένα προσωπικά μου θυμίζει μυρωδιά πλαστελίνης. Αντέχεται όμως και προσωπικά δε με νοιάζει καν γιατί με απαλάσσει από ένα πολύ μεγάλο πρόβλημα. Θα κλείσω λέγοντας πως πριν το πάρετε καλό θα ήταν να πάρετε και τη γνώμη ενός δερματολόγου. Περιέχει θειούχο σελήνιο (ως δραστική ουσία) το οποίο μπορεί να βγάλει κάποια αλεργική αντίδραση σε κάποιους.
