Hi all.
I've been hunting for a set of speakers to use with my Xbox 360 with no result. I would like to move away from my TV's inbuilt speakers to some quality surround sound gaming.
The only possibilty I've found so far is the Logitech Z-2300 but I've been unable to confirm whether they will be compatable. Does anybody else have a set of external speakers which they use with their xbox? Or am I looking in the wrong place and its my TV's compatability I need to look out for?
Thanks
If you get yourself a 2.1 or 5.1 set with optical in you'll be fine.
I've got mine running through a full surround sound set, but you don't have to go that far.
The other option is to use a phono to 3.5mm jack adapter to allow normal PC speakers to be hooked up. Not as high quality and limited to 2 channel sound (ie No true 5.1)
Logitech X-530s come with an adapter for the xbox 360 or PS3 or any other console that uses the coloured cables.. so long as you use the cables and not a HDMI cable.

edit:
they sell them in PC World for £40..
Buy the Logitech 970114-0120 5.1 Multimedia Pc Home Theatre Speaker System at cheap prices from PC World.
With optical though is there anything on the market for less then a few hundred quid? Everything which I've found so far with optical connections involves full home cinema systems.
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
Yes these are perfect fore your needs
They won't give you 5.1 sound only stereo outputted to 5 speakers with that adapter.
So basicly I can get cheaper external speakers... but they'll be limited to stereo. If I wanted the full 5.1 experiance I need to part with a bit more of my cash?
Swings and roundabouts I suppose.
Thanks guys.
those are the ones i suggested..Quote:
