[SOLVED] Looking for 2.1 Speaker for my Computer and Laptop

[edo101]

Hi I am looking to get a 2.1 speaker setup for my computer. I am not an audiophile but I appreciate decent sound. Especially if it has good bass.

I don't need high end but something thats got good value. Looking to spend ~250 USD max for the speakers no stretching it.

Hi I have a soundblaster Z-SE soundcard and that's all I'm gonna use to drive it.

Bluetooth connectivity is a good plus to have for my work laptop as I don't want to be fiddling with cables.

The speaker would be connected by wire to my main desktop of course.

Do you have a space and loudness limitation? Most good speakers with low end tend to be loud, not good for use with close neighbors or roommates.

If you are OK with maybe less bass but an option to add a sub later and have the space https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0886B1TWC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0886B1TWC&pd_rd_w=4R6Wm&pf_rd_p=57cbdc41-b731-4e3d-aca7-49078b13a07b&pd_rd_wg=vxdVg&pf_rd_r=NAQHGEADA6TS2Z07ZDKQ&pd_rd_r=44df82c4-bb9c-4ea1-bcba-a7769a16b219&s=electronics&smid=A23AS8PFN4IRUQ&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFWMk9XQVc3S0JHMk8mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5NDg0ODUxRUxLWUI5SDRUNERJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMTMyNjQxU0VESlRXQU1NNE9PJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I got the ProMedia 2.1 I do have roommates and yeah they get annoyed with the bass on my main Vizio M51 setup.

The ProMedia 2.1 sounds great. Just a little annoyance with minor static when nothing is playing @hang-the-9

Quite a few speakers have a hum/static white noise when on but no signal, that is not a huge issue for them.

And now I might return them. Really missing the inbuilt BT. Finding a good BT reciever off amazon isn't that easy. I'm still looking for BT speaker alternatives

There is a version of the ProMedia with bluetooth, but from reading reviews it's a bit of a pain to use since it keeps setting that as the default input.
