Cheap 2.1 Speakers

[Symbolism]

Hi guys, second post ever haha.

I was just wondering, which cheap 2.1 speakers you guys would recommend for my dormroom with my 13 inch MBP. I have my eyes set on two logitech ones:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/4251&cl=us,en

I'm leaning towards the first due to the higher total power. I'm not really familiar with speaker jargon, so I'm not sure if that even means anything, but from the reviews they seem to mean more.

Any insight would be great. Or maybe another 2.1 system you guys could recommend for less than $30.

Thanks!

See if you can find a set of Logitech X-230.

I got the Logitech Z4 speakers. They are quite good for the money (49 pounds). I bet they are cheaper in the US than the UK.

I think if you saved up a little more money you would potentially be much happier with your purchase - after all, you didn't pick the cheapest laptop around, either ?!

The LS21's look good but only sound OK. Personally, I have a set of Logitech x220's (good luck finding them, BTW) and they are the bomb diggity... for cheap speakers, that is. Tons of bass and volume - just don't match my white iMac very well, lol.

I use JBL Creature speakers and have no complaints:

Thanks for all the replies guys.

But if you had to choose, which of the two would be more acceptable, assuming I use it for music and movies in my dorm room?

Any other speaker systems are still welcomed.

I have the logitech 320 speakers. I've had them for like 3 months and i really like them. I believe they are 2.1

IMO you'd be much better getting a set of headphones till you can afford a decent 2.1 system.

A system of $100-$150 will have a bigger difference in sound and quality against a $50 system than it will against a $200 one

I agree with some of the other comments on here. The difference between $30 speakers and $60 speakers are quite different. I would just continue to check ads and sales and see if you can pick up a pair of nice speakers cheaper, while at the same time saving.

There are some gems when it comes to headphones at $30, but those are gems - so even that may not be the best of ideas.

if you like the design, the JBL creatures are very nice for the money
