Thinking about thse speakers, need input.

Okay, well I'll start off by saying that I'm a huge gamer. I've currently got some 2.1 Altec Lansing speakers, but they suck. They pick up the radio, are unbalanced, and in games like counter strike I can't even hear footsteps.

I've been considering these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121118

and i'm wondering if their sound quality will be comparable to a headset? I would like to use these with games instead of my headset which i'm forced to use. Would these be almost as good or better than a headset?

dont think they are very good. i always kinda rather have a good 2.1, than a cheap 5.1.

i just ordered the x-2300

they sound pretty nice a friend bought them nice sound overall....

but would I be able to hear footsteps in a game like counter strike well? that's my problem with my :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty 2.1's, and so i've got to use a headset

let me ask my friend lol

he said he doesnt hear them... he uses plantronics A90 to play CS lol....... well at least for movies and music the speakers works

My friend has a set of these - good for their price but don't expect anything special. Also when these are on but set to a very low volume he can actually pick up french radio or summat - he lives just outside london! :D

just got my x-2300's. sound very good. VERY loud, alot of bass. need to tweak the midranges a bit.

deffiently better sounding that 5.1 setups ive heard in the same price range
