Budget PC Speakers

[sotiris.bos]

Hello guys, it's been a while since I've been here. I need some new speakers. I currently have the Logitech S-220 2.1 system that has served me well for 7 years but the port that the speakers plug into the subwoofer has become loose and I get uneven volume from the two speakers. Budget is $50 or below and I don't want something that will be a downgrade. USB and bluetooth speakers are welcome because I would like to have my headphones always plugged in the 3.5mm port at the back of the PC. Thank you in advance

Logitech Z323 is a pretty decent system which. It doesn't have a USB or bluetooth connection, but I use a simple splitter to always have both connected (though this doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu for some reason ).

Yup, you can get great stuff used, thats where i get all my speaker gear.

So much cheaper, and no reason not to. Craigslist is great.

And garage sales, people try to get rid of good big speakers really cheap because they "upgraded" to a nice small soundbar.

I have not been very lucky finding good deals on headphones and speakers because most people in Denmark are insane when it comes to selling used. I looked for a pair of used k612 and the one person with the best used deal was only 20% of the new price and they where on sale with 25% off... This also happened when I was looking for new speakers, but when it comes to sub 180$ you can buy things for 30$  but when they are 200$+ a lot of danes think that they only need to give a max of 40% off when their things are 3+ years old.

Used is not really an option in my country. No craigslist here.. Speakers also have to be desktop ones because I don't have room for large ones.

Don't you have some sort of site where people sell used things?

We have lots of small forums that people sell forum-specific stuff (and I don't happen to know of one that is about audio gear). We don't have anything like ebay or craigslist where you can sell anything.

What models should I look for? I am not interested in crazy-good quality, I just need them to be cheap and not a downgrade.

I meant google a forum that sell audio things.

I know that tech syndicate have made a video about sub 100$ speakers
