I need a new set of 2.1 speakers for my laptop since my last set was given to my sister. my last set was a logitech, but when turned on there is a constant buzzing noise when i turn up the volume without anything playing (music/games). I dont know what the cause of this was, maybe due to "wear and tear"? but it was only 1 1/2 years old..i want to spend ideally 100-150 AT THE MOST. by the way 2.1, must have the bass for music. thanks.
by the way, i have been looking at logitech z623 and couple of altec lansings with price range from 80-150.

Unless mobility is necessary I say use home speaker instead. They're typically built a whole lot better can come in configuration nearly as small and mobile as the off brands you buy from those laptop speaker makers.
The con is that you usually need to purchase separate amplification (there are exceptions). Alternately, you can even run your laptop speaker from the B channel of your amplifier/receiver. Although you will still need to deal with separate wiring.
The advantage, much fuller sound. My motto is always buy speaker from a speaker manufacturer. -
like JL audio type of speaker manufacturers? could you give me any recommendations? loll didnt really help me too much..

if u want to stick to a simple 2.1 PC speaker system then there probably isn't a better choice than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's, in the $100-$150 range. i really enjoyed mine while they lasted. the PM 2.1's satellites had very clear sound quality and the tiny sub produced a surprising amount of bass. my only advice would be: purchase them from an authorized Klipsch dealer so IF u happen to encounter a hardware issue, Klipsch can directly take care of u.
i've tried alot of different 2.0/2.1 PC speaker systems and the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's are really up there, for me. they're probably the 2nd best set of PC speakers i've owned, only bested by my Corsair SP2500. the SP2500's are a tad bit more expensive though. -
haha yeah its at the least little bit helpful. thanks.

^thanks for the recoms.

IMO the Klipsch are better than the Corsair SP2500's. The Corsair set has very harsh highs when you turn them up to high volume. You could also check out the Swan M10 speakers. I haven't actually heard them myself but I have heard pretty good things about them, and I've got a different set of Swan speakers.
Your selections are pretty limited at 100-150 when it comes to getting a good sounding system. -
Still, there are always exceptions; and price is not always the best judge of quality. Therefore, I always keep an open ear. -

Amazon.com: Genius SW-G2.1 1250 2.1 Speaker System: Electronics
This setup is $50 and will definitely give the Corsair and Klipsh setups a run for their money, there is a slight amount of distortion when maxed but the bass is out of this world for the size..........38watts and manages to shake my bookshelf. They also look pretty damn cool and go long ways to spiffing up the look of your desk! -
P.S. - my SP2500's make my whole 2-story house vibrate. -
Harman Kardon Soundsticks!! Cost a bit more than the other but at least it's an actual decent set of speakers
-
We need to categorized these speakers gentleman. Let the record show that we're talking "compacts"
-
lol, the 5.25 inch subwoofer in the Genius is going to have a very hard time coming close to the big 8" subwoofer in the Corsair model.
I guess really it comes down to size and money. If you need something cheap($150 or less) and small then get the klipsch.. If you have a good amount of space and about $1400 to spare then pick up a system like mine... Marantz NR1402, Wharfedale Evo2-10's and a Sunfire Jr subwoofer. -
I think if you're going to be spending $1500 on speakers, you know what you're doing and won't be asking which ones to get in the first place...
That said, I'll toss in another vote for the SP2500's;they are out of the price range a bit, but they tend to go on sale for $200 every now and then. -
-
The satellites are a little weak but you don't buy a 2.1 system to "shake the house", reviews on the Genius system speak for themselves having earned several magazine audio awards. You would have to spend another $150+ to match/beat their quality. -
