Logitech Z623 or Klipsch Promedia 2.1

isdouble

So I've been thinking of having an alternative PC speakers on top of my headset (G933/Hyperx) and I came down to these two alternatives.

The reason I do not want to spend much more is because I use my headset most of the time.

So currently I found Logitech Z623 to be at $99. From what I have read, it has a good bass but lacks a bit in the sound department.

Unfortunately, I missed the sale on the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 by few days and the prices jumped back up to $150 ($140 from Groupon).

I know Klipsch is an audio company so perhaps it has a superior audio system. I'm not too sure though.

Please give your inputs with the order of importance in mind.

 

1. Gaming.

2. Movies.

3. Music.

 

If anyone had experiences for both or even one, please share your thoughts about these two speakers.

Last thing, if there is any other alternatives $150 or less that you may think it's better, please share that as well.

 

Thanks.

Performance is fairly similar, so I would just go with whichever is cheaper. The Klipsch isn't 50% better than the Logitech.

I have the Klipsch, and I've never regretted my purchase (I happened to get them for $160 Canadian brand new). I push them pretty hard at times for music, and don't always use headphones for gaming, and I crank the bass every now and then; plenty of power. 

As SSL stated though, they will probably be fairly similar in sound, though I'm not sure you can go by the 50% aspect when deciding. And to me, the Logitech ones are absolutely ugly.
