Hey guys, I want to buy a set of speakers and i have no clue which one is better. Please help me out. I have around 200-250$ budget. I saw the following speakers that caught my atention: - Logitech Z407, Z553, G560. - Razer Nommo v2 (the ones with the subwoofer). - Some sets from Edifier. If you could help me pick from one of those and/or give me other ideas that you think are better i would highly appreciate it!

Hello, I received a Fenda F770X as a gift. Sadly the noise is quite bad. At lower volumes it dilutes the sound and when nothing is playing it is more noticeable than my PC fans. As it is a gift and that the giver often comes around I cannot replace it - I would find it insulting and frankly I am grateful for the gift nonetheless. Can I somehow fix the noise? (by internal modding) I am willing to put the time into it... Thanks

How do I know whether my Motherboard supports 2.1 vs 5.1 surround sound systems? Manual says next to nothing about the actual capabilities. Was thinking of purchasing this > https://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/z607-surround-sound-system as a surround system throughout my room. Not sure if it requires a sound card or simple audio jacks / Bluetooth. Any help appreciated. (photo of my audio jacks of my motherboard MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi) Any and all help appreciated, cheers.

I have totally give up on this issue, I wish someone would help me. This issue has been happening since 2011, the first PC that I purchase? So whenever I power on my Desktop, Monitor and Speaker (which is using a multi-socket block), there's an annoying, audible screeching noise. I initially thought that it was the speaker, as it's rather an old speaker bought during the P4 or early C2 era, Eco 2.1 with bass control (not sure what was the original pricing, but it was maybe just a single $50 note), as the 2011 desktop, I received a USB power speaker, which doesn't have the hissing noise--which really doesn't make sense for my motherboard to be the issue, heck, it's even had 3 upgrades (SB > IB > SL > CL), there's still the hissing noise. I have a tower fan, I thought it could be this is causing the EMI issue, but nope, even power off (there's a switch on the socket, oh it's UK plug), it's still screeching. Just few days ago, I tried separating the 2-pin speaker plug away from the multi-socket block, and have its own power socket, there's still hissing noise. I recently purchase Z313 because it was on a huge discount, and nope, still has the hissing noise. I might sell it away, because of lack of bass control. It's definitely not the socket strip that I'm using, it was change three times. It's not even the multi-socket block (13A), as I've replace with an almost brand new one. All have surge protection built-in--maybe it's a marketing deception, I am guessing Linus should test 'surge protector' plugs/strips. Any solutions that are within my reach? Maybe using a 3.5mm to SPDIF? Use an UPS to smooth power to my desktop, monitor and speaker? I don't think it's my house wiring, I remember that during an apartment upgrade--by the govt., there were electricians that check for house wiring, just in case we need a replacement. They said that the entire block has no need for a rewiring.

Hi all My family is wiring our new house for TVs and in some spots we need a 15ft HDMI cable (the shortest length it can possibly be). I wanted to put in HDMI 2.1 cables because they are the latest and I know I am only getting one chance at wiring this house so I want to use the newest standard. Does anyone have any recommendations for a REAL HDMI 2.1 cable as a lot of the ones on Amazon are snake oil and don't actually meet the HDMI 2.1 standard. I know Linus did the HDMI cable test video but he didn't give model numbers for the cables and also I think I need "In wall" rated cables to pass inspection. Thanks all

Hello, I am currently in the process of a budget 2.1 set-up for the TV and a record player in the living room. Currently I have the SMSL AD18 taking an input from my TV via optical and record player via AUX and outputting to a pair of Klipsch R-41M Speakers. This set-up satisfies my needs of sounding better than the TV speakers, and having a small footprint (The SMSL is tiny). I am wanting to add a subwoofer into the mix as the speakers lack a bit on the low end, and I want some more boom when watching movies. I am a little confused as to what I am needing for set-up. This amp states the COAX doubles as a Subwoofer output as seen below: I am a little skeptical about this as it seems it won't be the cleanest signal to the sub. My question is should I be fine using this as a connection to sub and getting a sub with these inputs: Or should I get a sub with high-level inputs/outputs as seen below, and not use the sub out on the amp (I will not be getting a Polk Sub, it's just for reference): Any input on the matter would help as there is not much information about the output on the amp that I could find. Thanks!

I use a logitech 5.1 speaker system paired with another logitech 2.1 speaker system to achieve 7.1 audio on my z77a-g45 motherboard. With both speaker systems there are 4 plugs total. Would I be able to use my current setup to achieve 7.1 with this sound card?

Hi, I bought a new 2.1 speaker combo, nothing fancy, it's a logitech z407. I'm really not into high end audio so it's fine. My issue is where to place my subwoofer, I don't really want it on the floor, I can see that one day it will get wet and I want to avoid it, is there any other option for me? I don't want it on my desk, the vibration and lack of desk space.

Hell everyone! QUICK DISCLAIMER: I'd previously stated 8 days ago I needed help looking for 2.0 speakers for my computer, but way overshot how much I'd need to spend on just that. Apparently, I CAN afford a 2.1 system. So now I seek help for opinions on 2.1 computer speaker systems. Because... why not? Alot of the text will appear similar between the posts, because I have the same questions / expectations for a 2.1 verses 2.0 system. I'm in the USA, and the price of my computer when it was new was roughly $3,300.00 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D2Dj4s I'd like Computer speakers, as I have none. Preferably White, if not then black. I'd like not to spend more than $375.00, and my absolute maximum for a 2.1 is no more than $500.00..... But Ideally, I'd like to keep it between $175.00 - $375.00 I know nothing about computers and how to plug in speakers to a computer, nor do I know anything about sources, cables, etc. 2.1 vs 2.0 vs 5.1 blah blah. I'd prefer not to have to "wire" inputs or outputs, surely there's just cables I plug in and out? LOL. I could care less about Bluetooth, quality within my budget is all I care about. I have a THICCCCCC carpeted flooring, so that's where the sub is going... Any suggestions would be useful. To summarize: Color: prefer white, will settle for black. Anything else is "fine" if everything else about them is pretty good. Type: Left and Right speaker, fuck Bluetooth if it gets me a better deal on quality and price. (build quality per price point ratio). Budget: Absolute max = $500.00 (for the love of god I hope it doesn't need to be that close). Preferred High = $375.00 Preferred Range = $175 - $375 Floor: THICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Carpet flooring... if there was a SUB that's where it's go. I assume that's important. What I Care About In "Quality": I care that the left and right speakers sound pretty damn great, I'm not going to blast my SUB, it's going to be used infrequently depending on the game and honestly, I'll likely turn it down if the sound quality isn't hurt too badly. but they should not have known production or long-term quality issues. I care about good build quality... I plan to run these speakers for l like 7 years or more. LONG STORY SHORT FOR THE SUB: I care about the sound quality, not about shaking the desk when it thuds or whatever. I just want a distant grenade to sound realistic. If I don't need a dub for that, feel free to call me a dufus.

Hey guys, Having infrequent intermittent signal loss when using an RTX 2070 Super, an LG CX, and a 5m Ruipro gen 3 Hdmi 2.1 AOC cable. I know 5m is really pushing it for 2.1, but unfortunately I'm entirely restricted by distance. My actual question is: would plugging the included 5V USB power inserter (injector) that comes with the Ruipro cable be okay to use with my GPU? Want to give it a go, but I've not found any definitive answers online as to whether it would damage the GPU. Any help is much appreciated!

Reusing dead sub with old 12.5 inch LG speakers as 2.1 TV setup
RealSpyKitty posted a topic in Audio
Hello, so I am trying to reuse my old LG speakers LMS-M540 with a Microlab FC 50 subwoofer as an 2.1 audio setup for my tv. The cheap Microlab subwoofer board somewhat died and the left speaker output no longer working, I thought about replacing it with this S350H TPA3251D2 amplifier board and powering it with the same 20v 1.5A power supply I used before. As far as I understand by reading the manual the LG main speaker is a 6 OHM 50W and no idea about the tweeter. Would this setup work? Any possible suggestions with this setup? Can I hook up also the small Microlab speakers and have 4 in total? Could I down the road upgrade the speaker with something better? I never worked with in depth with audio stuff so this is my first time doing something DIY in this field so I have no idea if I'm doing stuff right haha -
So I have a Base PS4 and a base XBOX ONE I have a hi-definition 1080P smart TV and I’m wondering if upgrading the HDMI cable to a 2.0 or 2.1 will give me better speeds on either system? is it worth the upgrade or future proofing? thank you in advance

So last night my speakers died and while I'm still mourning, I know it's time to move on and get me some new ones. My budget is about €100 (this includes taxes). I might spend up to €150, but then I need to be sure that the price is justified. I use my pc for watching movies, gaming and listening to music, so I'm searching for some good all-round speakers. So far I've found these Trust GXT 38's for €75, but I was hoping you guys could present me some alternatives. Oh yeah, might be worth mentioning: preferably, the speakers would be a 2.1 setup. I don't want the hassle 5.1 (wire-wise) and I want a strong decent bass (that's where the.1 comes in). Thanks.

So I have had my Logitech Z-2300s and they have served me well, and they have aged very well. Though right now I am trying to find the next step up from these. As I have noticed over time that, though great, the Z-2300s aren't strong in some situations. For instance, the thundering soundtracks of LOTR movies at higher volumes the subwoofer just can't keep up with, or the mid ranges such as an electric guitar solo or some kind of very mid range heavy sound don't sound natural to the ear (to clarify, instead of all the parts of the song will instead of sounding very separated, as in you can pick out all the different parts, it kind of all mushes together and just can't keep up). The only problem with my situation is that the way that my desk is setup I don't have room for studio monitors. As nice as they would be, you can see that I just don't have the room for such things and can only really fit a 2.1 system. (pardon the mess, I use my desk for a variety of tasks so I end up with a consistently messy desk) So what I am looking for is a suitable upgrade from my current audio situation when it comes to my speakers.

Hey, I'm looking for some new PC speakers. My budget is €100-€150 (or $100-$150). But i live in Western Europe. Anyway: The speakers will mainly be used for spotify music (320kbps) (trance, dance, obvious hits, ...), gaming and watching Netflix. 2.1 I was thinking of the Logitech Z623 (€130). Because they are not so big. (i own 2 JBL 305's, but these are just to big, to put 70cm of my ears. Or next to my pc screen.) 2.0 (no idea) Any suggestions?

So I need new speakers since I removed my old ones from my desk because they were too big and required it's own audio system. I would prefer it to be 2.1 speakers and under £75, I'm looking for something like the Microlab FC330's, my brother has them and they sound great but I can't find them anywhere My use is for gaming, music and videos. I'll probably end up listening to music/videos with them 90% of the time and gaming with my DT770's. So, any recommendations? I was looking at the Logitech Z333's, thoughts? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Z333-Multimedia-Speakers-Black/dp/B00YR92VMA/ref=sr_1_8?s=receiver-speakers&ie=UTF8&qid=1494246291&sr=1-8 Thanks in advance, Sean.

I already have 2.1 setup (creative t3300) and i was wondering since i bought them if converting 2.1 to 5.1, or even 4.1, was possible with wireless speakers... Old Mo/Bo's didnt even support 5.1 so now the things with onboard audio have changed (currently using MSI's M5 gaming z170) and all Motherboards support 5.1 is it possible to just add wireless speakers and upgrade your setup, or is it gonna have troubles like lattency etc?

Hello everyone, First off, thanks for reading. Recently my old DJ speakers have died, cause unknown. So I started looking into a new set of speakers. The ones I am looking into these two options: Cerwin Vega XD4 (2.0) Thonet & Vander Rätsel (2.1) I mostly listen to progressive rock music but from reading up on the internet the Vega's seem better. The price diffrence is not my concern since it's not that much. The thing I am struggling with is the connection. Both use a 3.5mm headphone jack and I plan to connect them to my external hdmi monitor's 3.5mm jack or the one built into my Asus laptop. However I wonder if it would be better to get a Dac or a Usb to 3.5mm jack converter since those are cheaper. The Vega's have an AMP built in, I'm not sure about the Rätsel's. Any help or suggestions for better speakers for rock music, amps, dacs etc. is more than welcome! Kind regards, Snieky

As it in the title says, i am currently searching for good speakers or a soundbar for 100-200 $. The brand is not relevant, i just want it to have good performance and not something "gaming looking stuff" .

hey guys im looking for a god 2.1 or 5.1 system with lots of bass, like enough to ether vibrate my whole room or my whole house. it would also be great if they are loud too, but bass is really important to me.

Hello, I've been looking at purchasing a new set of PC speakers and I've been wondering whether it's better to go with a 2.0 set or a 2.1 set. The speakers would be general purpose - gaming, music, movies, etc. Now, I'm no audiophile, but I am halfway towards being one - I can definitely recognize when something sounds terrible. I need something halfway decent which will not drive me crazy. No great volume or bass which will make my neighbors kill me required. My budget is about 100€ and I've been looking at Edifier 1280T or Tascam VL-S3 for the 2.0 side. I've almost decided to buy the Edifiers, but I don't want to be sorry about getting a 2.0 set when I could have gotten a similarly price 2.1 set (Edifier M3200, for example). Any advice? Thanks!

So i recently bought a 2.1 speaker setup from Logitech, the Z313, to be exact. I have two issues with these speakers. I cannot use the subwoofer and speakers simultaneously, only once at a time. And, when I do use the speakers, they are extremely quiet. I tried plugging them in to both the Green Line In jack and the front Headphone jack, as well as the jack on the wired controller pod. All of them produce the same quiet sound, even when on maximum volume. Help!

Hey guys I'm looking to purchase a pair of Swan M10. Any of you guys know if they are good? They seem like a great price to performance option. If you guys have any experience with them let me know. Much appreciated. Also, I want to plug this pair of powered speakers into the back of my pc motherboard output. Would it be best to turn windows volume up to a 100 and control it from the speakers? If not, how would I go about setting up the audio output for line level.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a speaker set for my PC. I had a Logitech Z333, was good. (I bought an Edifier M3600D but it has a crackling sound from reflex port ( only occours in the 20-40Hz range, with even not so big volume), so I'm a bit unsatisfied (other than that, it's a good speaker), trying to replace it, unless it is proven that I'm doing something wrong (or I should not except more in this price range?)). My budget is around 150 Euros. I like powerful bass. I was looking at sets myself ( I don't really know how these systems work, I just love bass.): -Logitech Z623 (Z625) 2.1, 200W, THX -Logitech Z2300, 2.1, 200W, THX -Edifier R2730DB, 2.0, 136W For me the Edifier seems to be BIG (I have no idea how and where will I be able to place it). Can anyone help me decide, or suggest any system, wich is: -In price range -Has good bass -Not monster big (placeable on desk or similar) Thank everyone in anticipation.

I need some help setting up my sub, I've got an 15 powered sub I use for parties at home and i've got two litle 8' powered speakers. I want to set up my sub so that it plays the low frequencies. About 100hz and below. I've got a sub output on my motherboard and the realtek software plays audio on it but any other app/music/video only plays sounds only on the two 8' and none on the sub. I've set it up on windows so that it's a 5.1 without the rear speakers and the sub is center & sub at the same time. If it's of any help i've got an h370 aorus g3 wifi.
