152 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Amazon Renewed listing for the Logitech 980-000467 (Z906) is the same 5.1 system sold new under ASIN B004M18O60, sourced, tested, and recertified by Amazon's renewed program. The system provides 500W of power across five satellite channels plus a subwoofer and lists wired connectivity as its input method, consistent with the Z906's standard RCA and optical input panel.
At $339.99 versus $402.99 for the new version, the savings are real but modest. The renewed unit ships with a 90-day Amazon warranty rather than Logitech's standard coverage, so buyers with concerns about long-term reliability may prefer to pay the extra $63 for a new unit.
One data point that warrants attention: the weight listed in the spec data is 15,818 lb, which is clearly a data entry error and should not be taken at face value. The actual Z906 system weighs approximately 15 to 18 lb. Buyers should rely on the physical product listing page for accurate specifications.

Performance notes
This renewed unit matches the Z906 spec of 500W across a 5.1 configuration. Connectivity is wired via the Z906's standard input panel, which includes RCA, optical, and 3.5mm inputs on the original system. Dimensions of the subwoofer unit are 15.12 x 16.97 x 17.25 in. The 15,818 lb weight figure in the data is a data entry error and should be ignored.
What buyers say
152 reviewers averaging 4.2 stars indicates broadly positive satisfaction. Common renewed-product themes in buyer feedback typically center on cosmetic condition and whether all accessories are included. The rating holds up reasonably well given the refurbished nature of the product.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this renewed listing and the new Logitech Z906?
The hardware is the same 5.1, 500W Logitech Z906 system. The renewed version has been returned, inspected, and recertified by Amazon before resale. It carries a 90-day Amazon warranty rather than Logitech's full coverage and may have minor cosmetic marks. The price is $63 less than the new listing at time of writing.
Does the renewed unit include all original accessories?
Amazon's renewed program requires that the unit be fully functional and include all necessary accessories to operate. However, bundled extras such as printed documentation or original retail packaging may not be included. Review the specific renewed listing details and check the seller notes before purchasing.
Is the 15,818 lb weight accurate?
No. The actual Logitech Z906 system weighs well under 20 lb. The 15,818 lb figure is clearly a data entry error in the product listing. Refer to the official Amazon product page for accurate dimensions and weight before purchase.
