Trust’s GXT 609 Zoxa RGB Illuminated Speaker Set brings a mix of compact design, colourful lighting, and straightforward functionality to desktop audio. With 6W RMS (12W peak) output, USB power, and six RGB lighting modes, these speakers aim to deliver immersive sound and visual flair without breaking the bank. This review explores design, audio performance, usability, and value for gamers and tech enthusiasts.
Design and Setup
Each speaker measures 180 × 83 × 100mm and houses a 40mm driver. The set weighs around 750g, making it lightweight yet stable. Power is supplied via USB, and audio connects through a 3.5mm cable, ensuring quick plug-and-play setup. Front-facing controls for volume and lighting modes make adjustments simple, while the matte black finish and RGB accents complement gaming rigs and modern workspaces.
Audio Performance
The Zoxa delivers clear mids and highs with enough punch for casual gaming, streaming, and everyday listening. Bass is modest, as expected for compact speakers, but stereo separation feels decent for immersive gameplay. While not designed for audiophiles, the sound quality is impressive for its price point and size.
Lighting and Controls
RGB illumination offers six modes, including Rainbow, Drop, Cycle, and static colours like Red, Green, and Blue. Lighting adds ambience without overwhelming the setup, and front-mounted buttons allow quick toggling between modes. This feature enhances the gaming aesthetic and provides a touch of personalisation.
Ease of Use and Compatibility
Setup is effortless: connect the USB for power and the 3.5mm jack for audio. No drivers are needed, making it ideal for PC, laptop, and console users. The lack of Bluetooth and headphone passthrough may limit flexibility, but simplicity is the priority here.
Value for Money
At around £30, the Zoxa offers excellent value. Competing models like Creative Pebble or Logitech Z120 focus on audio but omit RGB lighting. Trust’s combination of sound quality, lighting, and affordability makes this set a strong contender for budget-conscious gamers.
