In my previous post about cheap speakers for home theaters I have mentioned about there are some PC speakers out in the market that may give enough punch as home theater speakers yet gives you the versatility and of course, price of a cheap pc speaker.

When it comes good PC speakers I mentioned there are a handful of brands out there worth checking out, but when it comes to home theater caliber, PC speaker, hands down Logitech is the brand to beat. They continue to push excellent products and even the products that they are replacing are just as good as the new ones! Without further ado let me cut to the chase and present to you one of the best bang for your buck cheap speakers out in the market right now, the Logitech X-540.

Logitech X- 540 Speakers

We are talking 5.1 powered system at a price point of $60 dollars. You are getting high quality sound in a price point that can’t even be matched by a lot of the more expensive home theater speakers out there. This speaker is easy to connect to your xbox, tv, computer and it makes it a lot easier with the added cord adapter that comes with the package. At this price point you cannot go wrong with this.
As usual, some people have a little more room in their budgets but don’t necessarily want to break their bank. At the $250 price point, you can get 5 satellites, 1 kick ass subwoofer, crisp sound with all that dolby digital, dts, all that sound lingo along with an wireless remote and ever input jack imaginable in the Logitech Z-5500. The bass is so powerful that it can definitely rival higher end home theater systems. The 5.1 sound experience makes watching movies and playing video games a new dimension of enjoyment. Yes another Logitech recommendation, but they are really hitting this niche so perfectly well that they offer cheap speakers for people with all sorts of budgets. However yes, as a PC speaker, $250 does sound like a lot, but considering you could easily use this as a home theater system, it is a bargain for the sound quality it offers.

One known fact is, Logitech often has rebates and/or good sales on their speakers at all local electronic stores, so be sure to shop around for the price.

On that note let me leave you with a very good review of the X-540 from tigers.

Remember buying cheap speakers doesn’t mean cheap sound!

I don’t blame you, when the first thing you would think when you hear cheap speakers is that the quality must be extremely mediocre for prices like that. Yes this used to be true, but ever since the what i call “Prosumer” generation has taken over, budget speakers no longer means budget sound! There are are many different types of speakers even in the cheap market that i will talk about but today lets talk about speakers for the PC.

When you are on the PC likely you will be performing a multitude of tasks but at the same time would like to listening to music, watch a movie or even playing some video games. Even with a fair price you can get very decent cheap speakers with a 2.1 setup. 2.1 is when the system features 2 satellite speakers and 1 powered subwoofer. This gives you really good sound quality with great bass needed to perform all those multimedia tasks.

For sake of discussion we’ll limit our speakers at under $100, in today’s market that is a fair pricepoint to start your research. For 2.1 PC speakers, you don’t need to worry about the multitude of wires, and often they are extremely easy to setup. One that stands out in the market with a highly acclaimed THX-certification (popular sound standard system that you normally find in today’s theatres) is the Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speaker system. It offers superior sound for those who are willing to pay a little more but still not break the bank. These cheap speakers will give you very crisp sound and strong bass perfect for watching a movie on your computer.

Another very popular 2.1 system is the Sony SRSD21X 2.1 speaker system, which at $50 is probably one of the best at that price point. Its size is more compact than the Logitech, and Sony is a trusted brand that is always high quality and reliable. At this price these cheap speakers provide you with great sound across the sound spectrum who those with a more refined taste for hearing the high, mids and lows.

At the under $100 price point there are a multitude of cheap speakers out in the market but as with all products there are always a high number of sub par speakers out there. Besides the 2 I mentioned brands you should look out for include, Bose, Altec Lansing and Creative (which in my opinion produces some of the more futuristic designs, so if that is your cup of tea you would get the best of both worlds, style and sound).

So next time you are out looking for some cheap speakers for your PC be sure to look out for the brands and models that I have mentioned!  Of course, you also want a discount desktop, notebook or laptop computer to go along with your new speakers.  While many people buy cheap speakers for their PCs after they already have purchased a desktop or laptop computer, some consumers still have a strict budget. When you don’t have a lot to spend, but want good quality and want to get everything that you need at the outset you can do it. You can plan to buy together some cheap PC speakers and also get a very good, discounted price on an Apple, Dell, HP, Acer Laptop Computer or notebook computer. Whether you buy your cheap PC speakers before, after, or with your discount laptop computer, cheap speakers can deliver very good sonic quality yet still stay within you tight budget!
