Avahra Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So, I know you all are a smart bunch. I want to get the boy a nice sound system for his computer for xmas. (he has none atm) but being that I don't know shit about crap like this I am looking to you,my fellower pc gamers for some suggestions.Right now money isn't an issue, but let's keep it under 1k.

Skylark95 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I pay more attention to video cards than sound systems. I know there are quite a few here that use gaming headsets, and can point you in the right direction for those (Dat, AK).What exactly did you have in mind?

Kevnvek Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Here's the headset I've been using for a few years now, and it's still great.http://www.newegg.co...N82E16874104203Here's what I want to upgrade to someday when I have enough dosh that I wouldn't mind throwing some at it. Maybe sooner than later with the mic having issues on the old Trittons.http://www.astrogami...wireless-systemIt was Tritton brand originally, so don't let the MadCatz logo trick you, even though they are known to make some junky products.I couldn't tell you anything about surround sound systems because I've never used them myself.

PeeKnuckle Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Are you looking at headsets or an external audio setup for him?Also, if I can be so bold -- If you're willing to drop $1k on him, he may deserve to be called a boyfriend now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dateranoth Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 1k is well within the home theater surround range. What exactly are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Not looking for a headset,but a sound system. Just a nice sound system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Full surround I take it. You want to include something easier? Like wireless for the rears so setup is easier or would he be fine running wires to the rear speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avahra Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wired or wireless I don't think it makes much of a difference really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Well, in that case, I'd recommend something like this.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6671748&CatId=2894It's designed for a PC, but it also has inputs for optical and other formats. Plus the speakers have termination points so you can cut the wire to length, and it has higher than normal wattage for a pc speaker setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
