2.1 kit for 50$ or so

[Nicolas554]

Been using the same 20$ speakers for 12 years. I want a little upgrade even though I know i wont get anything awsome with 50$...
I game mostly. I also listen music on my PC sometimes, though i normally use my stereo amp/speakers.

Which of these would be the best :

The reviews are pretty positive so far for the ET-AR504. Then again, almost every speaker review is positive...but they seem fairly well designed.

Those have to be one of the nicer LOOKING 2.1 sets I have seen a while........2.1's usually look like an extra set piece of Star Trek next Generation and sound awful.

Cheers,

You think the AR504's would sound better than 6 year old Logitech x230's?

I haven't heard either in person, but I'd probably say yes.

I recently bought these for my roommate, they produce very good sound (he listens to rap mostly). Only cons are that the wires for the satellites are very short (easily remedied) and the volume is difficult to control compared to just having a switch with a knob on it (you either use the buttons on the face of the sub or use the remote). For the price they are quite good speakers I would say.
