5.1 or 7.1 for gaming

im gettin speakers mainly to play games on my pc, and on my gaming console as well (if its possible)

which would be better??

7.1 0r 5.1

price range is up to 120 dollars

throw some model names out if you can

thanks:)
 
well for 7.1 speakers for 120 dollars they are gonna be generally lower quality. but 5.1 speakers for 120 dollars might be better. so go with the 5.1. try newegg.com
 
well i chose these 3

the rest are just too ugly

if anyone has any of these speakers, plase give your opinion, thanks

or if anyone has any other reliable speakers in the 120 range, and can tell me where to get them, plz do so

well it looks like im going to go with the logitech ones because that is what pepole on this forum seem to have the most experience with...

so do i need anything special to hook it up

i have onboard sound rite now that has

-line in
-mic. in
-line out
-digital audio in
 
Okay....You most likly wont be able to use 5.1 with that, your onboard sound most likly only supports stero, which is 2.0. the first number is the number of speakers and second is thwe subwoofer if you didn't know......Most games don't support 7.1 or 7.2 and a little mroe support 5.1 but still not many.
 
i like my 5.1 headphones.
there by turtle beach and have a nive detachable mic. i chose this cause its a cheaper solution and sounds better imo.
plus i didnt have to set up any speakers!
