They have power/volume control, subwoofer control, a headphone receptacle and a microphone receptacle located on one of the speakers. I paid $17 for a new set of new Boston Acoustic BA745 speakers Not 5.1 "Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.

You'd be better off buying a amp and speakers separately if you want decent sound. Brad "Diva": 2004 Mazda 6s 5-door, Volcanic Red Rex: 1988 Mazda RX-7 Vert, Harbor Blue.

Agreed, though both are better than Creative in my experience. I have the Creative T7700 7.1 speakers .. good for what they are (and go perfectly with my Audigy 2ZS Platinum card) but slightly lacking in midrange. A friend of mine had a tiny 2.1 Altec Lansing set that could probably compete with mine - I was very impressed with them given they were small and budget-oriented speakers.

Ive had the Altec Lansing 251 set for over 5 years now and theyve done me great.Very durable too(lasted 2 years of college beating) Surround is awesome for games (cs for example) and as a music lover, they dont disappoint me there either. Seems they are'nt made anymore but im sure you could find them or the equivalent for ~70. In my opinion well worth the price, id pay more if i had to. Could never go back to less than 5.1 ever again i think edit: Also, keep an eye on w00t.com if youre lookin for a low price on decent speakers.

Clicky I know they are more than you are looking to spend, and will admit they are a bit of overkill. (Note the sarcasm.) Howver, they are the best PC speakers I have ever heard, and as I said, I am planning on them lasting forever. 2000 Acura 3.2 TL
