good set of pc speakers

awhir

ok i have around 100-130 to spend on speakers was wondering is it worth it to get a really good set of 2.1 speakers like the Logitech Z-2300 Speakers 2.1 or get a set of good enough 5.1 speakers i will also be getting a sound card any ideas on that i dont think there is a need for the x-fi's i would persume to show them off you would need a set of fair speakers.

tnx hope you can help.

have a look here. free delivery means a lot cheaper.http://tinyurl.com/qa8gm a friend of mine who bought the 250D said his only problem was he could only turn them up when his family were out they were so loud.

I bought a 5.1 set of speakers for my PC, biggest waste of money ever! (even though i got them for €25 in ebay:p )

They are crap for games, Headphones are so much better and I even started using them for listening to music too.

I would get a 2.1 speaker setup, and a good headset;)

i have a set of Plantronic DSP 500's USB and they are great. i hear the Sennheiser 155 are good too. usb headphones are much handier if you have speakers as well as it makes changing from one to the other very easy.

ok tnx now what about sound card whats the best for the $.

savemejebus

a sweet setup would be logitech x230s (2.1) and a set of speedlink medusas.

That way you'll have the best of both worlds:D

Personally I'd go the other direction, go with the inspire 7900s and pick up a cheap audigy 2 somewhere, great for games, even better for music and movies.

i bought a set of Sony <insert numbers here> speakers from Petes. there's a newer model of the speakers out so i got them for €50, and they sound fantastic. i've yet to turn the knob up over 1/4 of the way, since the PC's in the livingroom...

but as someone else said, earphones/headphones are the best way to go for gaming

I never liked them a whole lot myself for gaming, but I don't need them ever since I got my Z-5500's.
Best investment I ever made!

Yeah I know, I did think it was a bit much, but a spark or craziness made me get them. Haven't looked back since!
