Looking at getting a some kind of speaker setup so i don't have to wear a headset all the time. I want something with at least a sub so i get decent bass. I will eventually be pairing it with a Asus Xonar Essence soundcard for come new headphones.

build one !! get some thing like an image dynamics 12'' sub or some other  sub and build a box about 3cuft ported and tuned to about 30 or 33 hz . once that is done get a receiver that has a sub output and use that for power. for the mid-bass go up use components speakers (powerbass has some good budget ones) for those build 2 studio boxes and tune them to like 70 hz. once that is done connect them all up and enjoy a super epic sound system.

 

 

if that is a bit much you can just use one of those logtech systems ...  

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

Never thought of that, the other ones you suggested look great, and are they wireless? It looks like it in the pictures. And if so... they look tempting

they are not wireless but that doesnt bother me, i prefer most things wired, keyboard, mouse, headset etc. My only only issue is that they are from 2010

>Need sound system
>People recommending gaming speakers or speakers made from a company that doesn't actually make the speakers

Sad I can't recommend something good either.

My issue with my speakers is the cables, I'm waiting for a audio system that is wireless that is under $100 Canadian and is decent quality

If you have the room for it, you could use an old analog stereo amplifier 50-100w  and some quality Bookshelf speakers. I run that kinde of setup and it sounds great
