Harmon Kardon, Logitech, or Altec Lansing....

hey...i was wondering which of these 3 companies' speakers have the best sound quality..with a good price as well:

Harmon Kardon
Logitech
Altec Lansing

im thinkin of getting some speakers for my laptop..but i want good quality ones with a reasonable price ...not too sure what my budget is right now tho

 

If your not looking for anything fancy, you can pick up a pair of Altec Lancing for under $30 and you should be fine. I use them for music and dvds and the sound quality is pretty clear. The 9300s speakers are so low it's hard to watch a movie without them. It won't give you the quality of a home stereo or anything but for the price i was happy with mine. Besides most people have a stereo in the living room for that. Just stay far away from anything GE. I made the mistake of buying some from Target and took them back latter that day.

 

The Logitech x-530 seems to be the best bang for the buck right now.

I picked up those, a 5.1 surround system for about $55 Canadian. However, it will need a sound card for my laptop to take advantage of the 5.1, so...

I'm not sure about the 9300, does it have the SPDIF output?

 

no idea wat SPDIF is...lol...what is is??..and how do i know if i have it or not?

 

SPDIF is a optical out input.

Hmm it seems the 9300 doesnt have it.

Well, you can always buy 2.1 sound because those are guaranteed to work with any computer...

A good investment is the Creative Audigy ZS 2, but its too expensive for me right now heh..

I'd go for Logitech in Best Bang for the Buck, but I also like JBL speakers.

 

ok...thanks ...i'll look into it more

 

If you want the best quality 2.1 speakers for a laptop go with the Klipsh Pro-Audio 2.1 system, I had these for years with my desktop before I got a chance to liberate a set of 5.1 ultras from someone and currently have them hooked up to my TV to replace the tinny built in speaker. Simply put they are the best 2.1 speakers I have ever heard, unfortunately they come with a price tag to match. I have heard good things about the logitech systems, and had one a few years ago that was pretty nice.

 

yeh, those klipsh 2.1 are great, i have them. but altec has some sweet speakers out there too now.

would love to see some wireless speakers that are decent.

 

kk..i will check them out..thanks

 

I have a pair set of Logitech Z-5500's that sound amazing, so good infact that I got a set of moderately priced X-530's for my friend as a gift and they sound pretty great at fraction of the cost of my 5500's.

 

kk..cooll..i'll look into it

 

Logitech's Z-series are amazing, but cost a bloody lot!

The x-series is just like the Z series but alot more affordable but is almost halved in watts

 

you can pick up a good pair of Logitech Z3's for $50USD (+shipping +tax)
same for the JBL Creature 2's. Those are the ones i'm torn between right now. Just can't seem to make up my mind.

 

Logitech Z-2300's - most awesome pc sound system! Aye, a little bit on the expensive side, although 100USD isn't too bad.
