new speakers ??

flag4 · 11-07-07, 12:03 PM

hi hunters,

was wondering what speakers to buy to beef up the sound effects of sh3gwx.
at present i have bog standard-came-with-pc issue that sit up on the desk infront of my face - volume control on one.

would'nt mind something to fill-out the sound a bit more - i love the whoosh of the torps leaving........, any suggestions are welcome.
i'm not wealthy so i cant go high: but maybe a pair for somewhere between 50-150 pounds, spread over infinite monthly payements.........!

cheers

I use a good set of headphones instead of speakers, I find them extremely atmoshperic and an excellent gauge of where and how far away DC's are exploding.

I'm using Creative Labs 7.1 surround sound setup. Paid about 60 bucks for it as a refurb. Works Great and it's nice to hear them coming from behind or wherever. I'd have to say 5.1 does the job as well as 7.1 though.

I've found the sound more immersive since I switched to headphones.

Headphones are awesome; I like playing the game with 'em.

I'm using a Logitech X-530 5.1 speaker system and it's great.

get this headphone: http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/...x=134&code=023 been using them for a while now and the positional audio it puts out is great

I'm using creative 5.1 (gaming edition). The surround sound is just great. I would have continued using a headphone as it gives the best immersion but it's bad for the ears if you like to have long gaming sessions.

I'm using Creative Labs 5.1 surround sound speaker setup. with 5.1 Silverline Headphones, the sound you hear from them sounds the same as if coming through the speakers.
