Speakers Under $50

[warned]

I'm looking for recommendations on speakers for my PC that fit within my budget of around $50 and are the best sound quality. I understand that quality does not always come with cheap and would be willing to spend more if there is a great noticeable difference or good reason for the price increase, but would preferably stay within the budget.

I would save up for some nice ones.

 

The ones I use in my office are relatively affordable but sound like they are around $300-The Logitech Z333.  I personally recommend these.  It's on sale for $60, but they make a wireless version for $90.

That kit does not sound like $300 speakers... I have no idea what $300 speakers you've been listening to to think that.

 

OP, save up and get something decent used.

In the world of audio, there's nothing that performs better than it costs (imo)... A lot of stuff costs more than it performs mind you!

There will be a massive difference in sound quality between $50 and $100, especially on the used market.

 

Hope this helps

I think they sound pretty close as I'm picky about my speakers.  For my home theater, I have the Klipsch Gallery G-16 with some really nice Denon receiver-I do most serious listing on this.

I love my $20 Logitech Z200. They sound good. I have been using them everyday for about a year and I had 0 problems.

I'm sure you do, but that doesn't mean that you know what good $300 speakers sound like.

The Logitech Z333 does not sound like $300 speakers. If they did, they'd be priced accordingly.

They're not terrible, but by no means the best you can get for that kind of money.

Much better off with a used 2.0 setup and an inexpensive amp.

Speakers that sound like $300 speakers cost $300 or more.

The cost of manufacturing $300 speakers is not low enough that Logitech could afford to sell them for $90 and make a profit.
