NewGuy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I want to pick up a set of speakers for my pc. They would be used mainly for gaming with some music and movie playing. What do you recommend? The Creative GigaWorks G500 5.1 Speaker System Front 36W RMS/channel Rear 36W RMS/channel Center 36W RMS Sub-wf 130 W RMS at Hardware House looks like a natural progression from my old and unlamented Inspire T5900 kit. But they do cost nearly 12,000 Baht. The Creative GigaWorks T3 2.1 Speaker System 15W RMS/channel Sub-wf 50W RMS for 9,900 Baht get good reviews, but I'm not sure if it would be good for gaming. Again, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyh Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 A good set of surround sound headphones work well and you don't annoy the crap out of everyone else. They are much cheaper than high end speakers and just as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I still want speakers but I've been thinking of getting some headphones as well ... Skyping, gaming in the middle of the night or a Thai soap opera. What do you you think of Creative's HS-1000 Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset (Hardware House, 3,990 Baht)?

garyh Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have a Plantronics headset with surround sound and they are good. I don't have any experience with the creative ones but I am sure if you use google to search for reviews you will get the info you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozikillah Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You cant go wrong with the Logitech G35 7.1 Surround.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehBen Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Creative are ok, go for that. I'm looking at an LG 5.1 set-up for about 10k. Currently got the Creative Aspire (?) 2.1 for 3k from Hua Hin Market Village, its ok but I need surround sound. You dont need to go for a brand dedicated to computer technology. All you need is a surround sound system with an AUX input or (ideally) optical connection. I'm assuming your pc has an optical input (most new mobos do now), if not, the LG systems have HDMI input which transfer sound and video, or even a normal headphone jack will be ok as the LG decoder with sort out all the surround sound stuff. 10k for a Creative 2.1 system is expensive. It will sound good (mine does) but not 10k good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
