My cousin wants to get rid of his subwoofer and buy a good 2.0 computer speaker setup. Does any one know which would be a good set for around $150.00 to $200.00? He did not give me an exact price, but I am guessing around this price point. If there is a good set for a little more please let me know. I tried looking online, but most stuff is for 2.1 or more. If you could help I would appreciate it.

why does he want to get rid of his sub?

for comp speakers a 2.1 setup will always sound better than the 2.0.

is he trying to save space?

Yes, he doesn't want to have the subwoofer under the desk. I am not sure why. I think he is going for a clean sleek look I think, but don't know. He has a very cheap 2.1 setup right now. Let me know if there is anything else you want or need to know.

I don't buy from Tiger Direct but I know that these are a good set of 2.0 speakers.

I'm partial to my Creative Gigaworks T20:

Product page at Newegg.com

They provide decent bass for small to medium sized bedrooms/studies considering there's no subwoofer, and the sound is very clear. The bright blue power LED might annoy some, though.

If your cousin wants something simple, elegant and still sound good, I would recommend the Bose Companion 2 Series II.

My friend has these speakers and I thought they were pretty solid.

try these.


I have the studiophile AV 40's they blow away the sound quality/loudness/bass of Klipsch 2.1s. I've owned, several high end Klipsch and Logitech setups and never thought a set of 2.0s could rock so hard, I would fully recommend the AV40s

How about headphones? I know the audiophile losers are all swearing by whatever $500+ pair that Sennhauser is putting out, but are those really that much better than a pair of twenty dollar Koss Earbuds?

The M audio stuff looks really nice. That would probably be my recommendation.

In a word, yes. And they are not $500. My Sennheiser HD580 was $129.99 from newegg 5 years ago, all I've done so far is replace the cables with the sturdier HD650 ones. Granted you will need an amp for them.

But if you don't plan to spend $100 on a pair of headphones. There are plenty of sub $100 headphones that are way better than your average earbuds. Grado SR60, Sennheiser HD555, Sennheiser HD515, Koss Portapros, Koss KSC75, Shure E2C just to name a few

If you want good headphones, earbuds, shell out for a pair of Shure's. Even the entry level ones are exceptional, especially if you commute to work - they're completely sound isolating - you couldn't hear a firetruck screaming by you (I didn't).

+ the audio quality is second to none. Spend as much or as lil as you want. You get what you pay for. Odds are you have no need for $500 headphones - if you need to ask, you don't need em.
