Advice for buying

Sezas

I like to party and I am wondering what to buy for loud music and bass:D wanted to buy logitech z533 but they are for gaming kind of i think, idk if they are loud enough. So what should I buy, my current speakers are Logitech x-210, I know they are trash:D budget 90~ euro. 2.1 system would be better, but u can recommend some other loud ass machine:D

Retracted my post due to reading again and see the budget.

Not possible at that budget. 90 euros is not enough money to get a 2.1 sound system with any oomph to it. Most decent subs start at around 200 mark for the sub alone.

Best hope is something like a second hard pair of KRK rokits something in generation 1 or 2 probably still have to spend another 30 euros. Just search in your local region second hand market place KRK rokit (example from UK ebay)

Not pro in audio devices but there isnt anything special about gaming speakers, no low-latency mode or similar. You can see them as "worse than professional grade but better than cheap stuff"

Couple questions
Whats your budget?
Bit more detail on use case. You after something big and beefy for when you are having a party and can do quiet for when your watching youtube or is it going to be small logitechs for when im doing computer things then i rip this bad boy out when i want a a noise complaint.
Whats your likely hood of wanting police knocking on the door?
Do you care for stereo?
How perfect does the audio have to be?
(If you want high quality and loud you need big pockets, if you want loud and acceptable quality you dont)
Also which country you in as if you are after something really beefy the second hand market may have your back at the moment.

I always use my headphones when watching youtube or something, I usually turn on my speakers when I want to listen to music, I usually put the speakers on max volume.

Don't care about the police, even though I don't think anything for 90~euro is loud enough for the police to knock. Don't know about the audio quality my X-210'S are pretty old and I think the quality is good:D

I'm in Lithuania

Best hope for loudness and a decent low end is something like a second hard pair of KRK rokits something in generation 1 or 2 probably still have to spend another 30 euros. Just search in your local region second hand market place KRK rokit (example from UK ebay)

Honestly, those Logitech systems aren't great but they sound damn good for the money.

 

In your position I'd probably pick up a secondhand pair of bookshelf speakers and a power amplifier, old bookshelf speakers are often very high quality and practically given away yet they often have amazing sound quality when compared to new consumer options.

I'll do my best to lend a hand to anyone with audio questions, studio gear and value for money are my primary focus.
