New Comp - Need speakers

[Chiwalker]

I need some suggestions for speakers for my comp.
Currently I use Bose QC2 headphones, but after a while I'd rather not have them sitting around my head a.k.a. I want speakers.

Anyone know a good brand / pair that I should get?

I'm looking for just the basic right,left,sub for <= $30

If you know of some great bargain for crazy surround gizmo boom bash speakers that is more than $30, then I'll take a look.

Currently, I'm just thinking about going to Office Depot to get a cheap pair, but I thought I should ask here first since everyone is so sound/music savvy.

Thanks!

I'm a fan of logitech speaker systems, the three different sets I have had have all been great. The S-220 is within your $30 range and has a lot of good reviews.

hmm I woulda thought more people wanted to share the amazingness of their high-tech speakers...no one?

Well, its kinda hard to when your price range is $30.

But I agree about logitech, they have some nice cheap speakers.

these are the ones I have for my computer, very nice. (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/208&cl=roeu,en)

If you're willing to shell out a little more money, I'd suggest something from Bose. I have these (http://astore.amazon.com/bose.companion.speakers-20/detail/B00062QY5W/002-8842942-5728840). They're $70 online usually, but if you can find a BJ's or Costco or someplace like that, you might be able to find them for $50-$60 instead. What's great about them (and the other kinds in this line) is that they don't need a separate sub; the speakers handle that just fine on their own, so no need to waste space with a big sub unless you really want huge lows. Anyway, great sound on all the ranges, I think, and at a good price.

But if you are really wanting to stay in your range, I'll have to agree with the others; Logitech has some good ones, though most are a bit more than $30. You'll have to shop around to find ones you like.

I got the S220 delivered to my house - left speaker was blown - now waiting for a replacement...:???:

NAWW! They got great reviews...it's not the speakers, just a mistake - I'll give a more accurate review when I get ones that do work. :whatevaa:

Phill - Thank you so much for recommending these!

I got a functional pair today - I don't see how these $20 speakers give $100 quality.

The subwoofer feels to good to my ears and whole body!
