Reddit reviews Logitech S120 2.0 Stereo Speakers

Get a set of computer speakers and plug them into the headphone jack. Turn the speakers up to about 1/2 to 3/4 power and adjust the volume with your TV. I don't now how much better these will sound vs the TV speakers but it's about as cheap as you're going to get. You would probably have been luck with a higher quality computer speaker like these Creative T10.

You could probably go even cheaper than that: the games you list have low requirements and could run off of an AMD APU processor, but you might not get ultra gfx. Which I assume is part of the point of modding these games, so I put a newish GPU in the build. LMK what you think!

They are nothing much but for bare bones getting something out of your PC, you can't go wrong for this price.

I gotcha. Time to invest in some headphones or a cheap pair of speakers! Either should outplay your phone speakers. You may also be able to grab a Stereo to RCA adapter which would allow you to send your audio output on your computer to the audio inputs on your tv.

Try to find these speakers refurbished.

When you receive those new speakers let me know how they are. I'm currently using the crappier version you just bought because my dad was upgrading his old office equipment. From my experience, I haven't experienced any sort of magnetism distortion on my PVM, but do keep in mind to do your research about if they are shielded for added reassurance and make sure you properly space your speakers at least 4" inches aways just to be on the safe side.

Oh Halloween - thank you for making it possible for there to be very large inflatable spiders with unexpectedly moving legs along my dogwalk route, in order for my dog and me to react like we are on a haunted house Scare-Cam. :)

Honestly, any $10 speakers you buy from Amazon will be louder and sound infinitely better than your laptop. These would work fine ($10):

If you would like more portability, I recommend this($15):

It's loud, battery powered (rechargeable), sounds great for it's size, and fills a room nicely with it's side-firing speakers. I've watched dozens of movies with it clipped to the top of my laptop and I find myself still amazed at how good it sounds for what it is.

And for what it's worth, a teacher friend of mine recently bought one of these:

Yes, it's double your budget but the applications for this device in a school are endless. Multiple mics/instruments and an AUX input for ipod or PC. Maybe you could get the school to pay for half? LOL

The PS4 only supports digital connectivity (old school analog A/V plugs have finally bitten the dust). So for video, it sounds like you're good -- HDMI will work great, as you mentioned your monitor supports it (alternatively an HDMI to DVI setup would also work for a monitor).

But for audio, that's another story... The PS4 uses digital / optical audio cables (also known as a TOSLINK connection). You need a decent speaker system for this type of connection. You mentioned that your monitor doesn't even have speakers (does it have an audio out port though? if so, you may be in luck and can just plug a pair of cheap computer speakers or headphones in). Otherwise, you pretty much only have three options:

• Option 1: Buy a [digital-to-analog converter](
  http://amzn.com/B004C4WPXA), along with a digital / optical (TOSLINK) audio cable and an [RGB-to-headphone style adapter](
  http://amzn.com/B000I23TTE). From there, you can get a cheap set of computer speakers (even something simple like these would work). Attach the cables together and plug in the speakers and boom -- you'll have sound. (Note: if the PS4 is anything like the PS3, you'll need to enable "multi channel output" under its sound settings.)
  
  
• Option 2: Buy a set of speakers that support digital / optical (TOSLINK) connections. We're not talking cheap computer speakers like before; these will likely be a pretty decent sound system to support digital / optical (TOSLINK) connections. ([This is the cheapest sound system](
  http://amzn.com/B002V3R2SM) I could find on Amazon that supports it -- it's a surround sound / DVD Player combo, in case you're interested.) You'll also need to buy a digital / optical (TOSLINK) audio cable, of course, which I linked to in the above example.
  
  
• Option 3: Or, your final option... just buy a TV. It'll be bigger than a computer monitor, it'll have the built in speakers, and it'll look nicer. TVs have come down in price significantly the last few years, so maybe you can pick one up for cheap on Black Friday or something.

Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse

Like you said, not top of the line stuff. If you'd like to spend more than I would recommend spending more on the keyboard. Everything else is surprisingly decent. Good luck.

Well I might as well get these since I cant get good quality with my full budget going new.

Looking for cheap computer speakers. <$20 or so. Only requirement is that it has headphone jack on it. Best bang for my buck? Was looking at some logitech speakers like these or these.

A way that is just as simple but would sound infinitely better would be thus:

• Get a spring tank, such as one out of a cheap fender amp or a replacement spring tank online, or two for stereo, and a set of cheap computer speakers, such as these. The spring tank you get will be dependent on the computer speakers, so buy the computer speakers first and look to see the ohmage of the actual speakers, then buy a spring tank (or two) that matches the ohms.
  
  
• Once you have the computer speakers and the spring tank(s), rip the guts out of the computer speakers and cut the leads going to the speakers and to the input plug.
  
  
• Solder the leads that originally went to the speakers to wire that will connect to the input terminal(s) of the spring tank(s), and instead of the input plug solder a stereo or two mono 1/4" jacks.
  
  
• From the output of the spring tank(s), solder either a 1/4" plug or a 1/4" jack.
  
  
• Connect this to your interface and use the pres on your interface as makeup gain for the tanks.
  
  
• Spring reverb, driven by inductors and not by a speaker magnet, receiving a full range signal from a cheap premade amp and with clean gain made up by your interface or other outboard pres.
  
  
• Profit.

Lol, sorry im terrible at responding. and all the speakers are powered using a wall outlet or separate amp. (other than the headphones) if thats what you're asking.

I bought a few off eBay. I also grabbed some cheap LG computer speakers to pair with it.

I'd suggest adding the LG PH300. It's $379 on Amazon but, can be found as low as $250 on eBay if you go manufacturer refurbished or used. Heck, this one is only $150 which is a complete steal. I bought one for $250 and love it.

The LG PH300 has a lot going for it. It's cheaper than it's competitors, it's as about as long as a smartphone and is about half as tall as a cheap logitech 2.0 speaker. It's 720p HD, 300 lumens, very portable, HDMI with MHL, can do a 100" screen from about 12.5 ft away. Has a 2 1/2 hour battery, rated for 30,000 hours. Here are a few videos I found from youtube, none are mine:

Guy doing some testing videos, he has around seven videos of it

testing a blu-ray animation movie

action explosions on the ceiling

random korean show

racing cars

For some people this might look like a good deal. Nice packaging, printed documentation, all in a nice kit. There is a market for it and I'm sure they'll sell plenty.

The bright colors and fancy box do jack for me. And lets be frank. Most children, which this product is aimed at, won't care either what color the keyboard is or how nicely it's packaged. They'll only care what they can do with it, and there's already a huge community around the Raspberry Pi to give children cool stuff to play with.

You can spec out all of this stuff for almost $50 less and have the newer model Pi. Sure, for some people, this looks like a great deal. For me, without a screen/monitor, it's no good.
