I personally recommend the Klipsch ProMedia as the best sub-$200 option. Sound is really solid and it's definitely got the bass. Plugging your computer in is straightforward and I believe the newest version has bluetooth as well. Best Buy used to have it as a demo with their computer speakers, not sure if they do anymore.
A better option might be studio monitors like the JBL LSR305/LSR30X which are also an insane deal. You'd need to get a bluetooth adapter and you'd need to worry about inputs (many studio monitors take 1/4" or XLR, which would require janky adapters (probably won't sound great out of a headphhone out without something like this) or a dac/audio interface like this or this. The JBL approach will get you a better sound (more accurate to the music, more balanced sound, magical amazing beautiful and perfect imaging) but will probably be a bit above what you'd like to spend. Most of that stuff can also be bought used if you are okay with that.
I would try and stretch or save up a bit for the monitors. They're a pretty solid step up from most all "computer speakers," and the JBLs in particular are one of the best bang-for-buck deals in audio that I've seen.
Best of luck, and feel free to shoot me a PM with more questions or what you decide to do!
Just find a decent looking 2.1 from a fairly reputable manufacturer. I believe Logitech and Edifier have a few sets in that price range. Don't expect anything mind blowing but I've had some of the cheaper Logitech sets and they're pretty good for the money. Try look for ones with the best reviews, look for common issues too.
Also consider going 2nd hand. PC speakers tend to go real cheap.
Alternatively, you could get a portable speaker like the Anker Premium. Many people say it holds up well against the Bose Soundlink mini which is a very impressive speaker for its size. Anker are great and very reliable.
or, I could do a clever thing and Use the X-FI Titanium soundcard, which provides 3 Audio Jack outputs for 5.1 and one SPDIF out- and one Input. I stopped using onboard sound since I bought the recon3D, and never want to go back.
Now I was looking around. Since I´m a little Creative Labs fanboy, I looked for the same speakers my gaming PC uses, the Creative Inspire T3300 2.1 PC Speakers. There´s a 5.1 version of those, the Creative Inspire T6300 5.1, which are literally the same like the T3300 except 3 boxes and 2 cables more.
Would this work for a cinematic feeling? The T3300 have a great quality, and They aren´t that expensive.
I've been looking at quite a few things while I was away from my computer.
I'm leaning towards a Modi 2 Uber (toslink for my PS4 audio) combined with a Magni 2.
My main concern is shitty drivers - I want to bypass any Creative/Asus drivers where possible. The Schiit drivers are relatively simple and well-maintained hopefully.
Secondly it appears that I may start using headphones more, however I will still want speakers as an option as well.
So I'm turned on by the Schiit stack idea, however I have some questions.
You have 2 good options...
Those are the two best 2.1 channel bookshelf speaker sets for around $100 or less.
/u/psychojeremy is correct. Try to find the T/S parameters of the speakers and plug them into a calculator like WinISD. If they are OEM speakers though, it might be impossible to find.
If you don't turn up any info on them, you can mount them in truck enclosure for $30 and stuff it with poly-fill from an arts and craft store. If you're spending $30 on enclosures though, you might as well buy purpose built bookshelf speakers like either of these:
Id use this https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Surround-Computers-laptops/dp/B07P9BN4GR/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3RCFMT0KP4WKH&keywords=omni+surround&qid=1573328122&sprefix=omni+surroiund%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-4
external sound card. bonus that you wont have to worry about the mobo going forward this'll work for em all ;)
FiiO E10k is a little over your budget (could get one that's open box/used), but well worth the price.

Hey,
So I bought a new pc about 6 months ago. And about 3 months ago I started to have sound issues.
I believe I have all latest drivers.
I have clipping on audio and a reverb burp when playing intensive games.
See here :
reverb - (4 second mark)
https://vocaroo.com/i/s1dtn8MnpSDl
Clipping - (constant) https://vocaroo.com/i/s1F42vvkMQMV
The issue has become worse and worse and now effects mp3 music too and sometimes desktop sound.
Mostly in games though when screen is busy.
I've reinstalled the audio drivers but it only stops it for a short while.
I was thinking of buying the above sound card or any sound card anyone recommends which is decent on a budget.
But it occcured to me that I think the pc is using the gcard for sound?
Via HDMI to monitor and internal speakers.
Can anyone suggest what the hell these issues are and how to fix them Please as it's been months and my paid tech support doesn't have a clue...
Thanks :-)
I'm curious, why use the Marantz for music only? That said, I've been using these since a couple years back and they are decent for the price.
This took me from too much noise on my integrated input to acceptable for online communication. If it just has to be passable, it might do the trick.
You could get a switch for your headphones and speakers.
