Okay, so. I've got some cash to spare, and I've decided to go and update my audio stuff. 

 

What I'm looking for :

 

  • A good wireless headset
  • Some nice speakers

 

I'd really like the speakers to go with my soundcard (Xonar DGX)

 

thanks,

^_^

Budget for the speakers?

And 2.0 or 2.1?

 

The Audio Engine A2+ speakers are a really nice pair for it's price. 

2.1 wise you can use the same speakers with a decent subwoofer.

 

Headset wise: I'm not really into headsets but I'd buy a Siberia V2 if I had to ( Using headphones and a Blue Snowball myself so no combined phones/mic ).

I would suggest something like the Logitech Z313 system, it has great sound quality and is inexpensive. You should also look at a better soundcard to improve the audio quality even more.

Doesn't matter if Linus liked them, I care about the product being a good product.

I'll take a look at a few reviews.

I'm not too sure about budget tbh. Just throw your recommendations at me and I'll have a look.

 

Soundcard is 5.1, I'd like to go 5.1. Especially since my PC will be in my livingroom in the near future, since I'm moving

Any brand preference? I could just link you the basic cheap 5.1 Logitech surround system but that's not something I'd go for at all.

Not particularly, but I'd like something that sounds good

CEntrance 2504 is on massdrop and those are pretty good. I use one with a lepai amp. For wireless, I would just get a Corsair 2100 but wired headphones are a lot better.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Lol, two sets of those plus some random center+sub would be the most badass ghetto-rigged setup.
