Me? Why *I* have a nice, cheap K-Mart quality system
I've got the Logitech(lol) X-620 6.1 thing. For those not in the know, the X series are meant for people like me who want to be able to say they have a surround sound "system", but aren't a real stickler for sound quality and don't have the funds to afford something real. I'm pretty happy with it, actually. The speakers are simple to mount to a wall; just hammer a nail in some place and hang them up. I'm personally not coordinated/responsible enough to handle a hammer, so I just have them set up around me in a circle. For the most part, these speakers just make things sound
better and
more. I really don't notice too much directionally (although I have, so I know they work =p), but that could be because I rarely even listen to my games or that the hearing in my left ear isn't as hot as my right, so I'm not good at directional hearing period.
I watch tv while playing most games, but there are some that I will not play without sound, those being ones with great music. My addiction for TV therefore prohibits me from playing these games. It's sad.There are 6 speakers and a subwoofer. A loud subwoofer. I mean, even with the bass at it's lowest, in certain games or movies it's still really loud. It's a decent quality sub, it's just a bit uneven. The rest of the speakers are "meh" quality. Definitley not BAD, but not spectacular either. On the front-right speaker there's a volume knob, a headphone jack, and a switch that lets you bump a 4.1 or 5.1 to utilize all 6 spekers. Obviously it won't sound as good as something built for 6.1, but it does a pretty good job. It's got a total of a WHOPPING 70 watts (owait, that's RMS power, whatever that means. "Total peak" power is 140 watts. I guess. *shrugs*). Oh, and the cords are, like, really long.
So that's my personal review. Have fun, be safe, phone numbers.
