Reddit reviews Genius SP-HF1800A 50 W Three-way Hi-Fi Wood Speakers

Either are probably fine in this price range. I havent heard those but these look to be a step up.

I use these:

They work well enough, and they sound pretty good. They run on RCA jacks and a normal power cord.

these speakers?

No I dont have an amp or receiver. I'm trying to keep my budget relatively low which is why it's been challenging. Trying to find something affordable and decent quality preferably under $200 and in Australia. So yeah powered for now would be better and I'll upgrade later down the track I think.

Thanks for that recommendation though I will check the Audioengines out!! Do you know anything about Microlabs? They have Some relatively cheap products but Im worried that there like a Logitech...

I also came across these Genius SP-HF1800A which seem to have reviewed pretty well and I know where I can get them.

Edit: I found some Audioengine 2's for $160 second hand locally so that seems like a pretty good option atm

Edit2: Also came across these Creative T40's Which seem to be pretty decent for PC speakers aswell

After reading everyone's comments and site reviews, I'm now trying to decide between the Daytons and these Genius computer speakers.

Are the Dayton's really so good that I should forgo the Genius speakers for them?

New to turntables. I already have these speakers, and I am looking at either getting the [Fluance RT81] (https://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Adjustable-Counterweight-Anti-Skating-RT80/dp/B01F2EXIFM/?th=1) or the LP120. Would this setup be fully functional? Is there anything else I would need?

Sennheiser is the best of the best, but be ready to pay $100-200 premium for same quality as Beyerdynamic until you start getting close to $800 plus where no one can keep up with Sennheiser.

As for speakers, they don't tend to really get "good" unless you start spending ungodly money. I use these, but it's nothing crazy, just something I use for when I don't feel like wearing headphones (most single player games).

If you want a headset instead of headphones I recommend these.

These have quite good reviews but may need extra kit to get started totalling around 100 bucks but maybe you can find it cheaper.

These look flashy and my suit a gaming setup??

Hope I helped a little. :)

5.1 speakers are cool, but I just don't have the space. The only place I can really put my 2.0 set is on the left/right sides of my monitor, I don't have space for anything else. Guess it's not worth worrying about. These are what I have: https://www.amazon.com/Genius-SP-HF1800A-Three-way-Hi-Fi-Speakers/dp/B0041Q9PZ0 What's stupid is that I paid $64 from a third-party Amazon seller and literally 2 days later they're $58 direct from Amazon, new in both cases. WTF.

I'm the exact same way, I don't need anything fancy and thought I was missing out by not having a mechanical plank. Now I know. Leatherman support is amazing, my dad sent in his (I think it was a Wave? not sure) for replacement and they sent him back the next best model plus a new case. Good stuff.


I'm one of those guys on the "be mad at EA for making the French army DLC" bandwagon; realistically it doesn't affect me at all because I won't be buying the game anytime soon, but the argument about implying inaccurate information about WWI to the younger BF audience resonates with me. Game looks fun as hell though.
