Im looking for a cheap 2.1 sound set up to go with my Xfi Gamer. Both these speakers are the same price online but not sure which is better. A mate has the S220's and i was impressed with them but are the X210's any better?
 
Quite liked the compactness of the S220's (base box small enough to sit on desk without getting in the way) is the X210 much bigger (hard to judge from pictures). Whats the X210's quality like?
 
Well I am only going by what I have seen users say. The X210 did have slightly more favourable comments, but each has got a lot of good comments. The X210 seems to have a downward firing woofer, I didn't notice that before.

What would you be placing the subwoofer on? carpet, bottom of a desk etc.
 
to be honest on top of the desk which is why space is an issue. When i was at uni i had my 5.1 set up nicely but now ive bought my own place there isnt room for that. The spare room my PC is in is very small, so a 2.1 system is all i can really manage (a small one at that). Both these systems fit the bill and are only 17 quid. Ive not seen the X210 in the flesh but just wanted to get some advice before choosing.
 
Looking at the same 2 for the kids & have hit the same situ, I'm going for the S220 because it looks more compact & they don't have much room left (/me mumbles about all the junk they manage to store etc etc etc).

probably ordering tonight/ tomorrow & will post some comments when they are up & running.

Will be on an extreme-gamer too.
 
Tbh, I don't think either is a bad choice. If you were placing the X210 sub on carpet, then the S220 I think would be the better choice. Given the limited space, then the smaller S220 would be the better choice. If the X210 was clearly better but was a bit too big, and the S220 was the right size, I think you would have a headache trying to choose. But looking at comments on various sites, it probably comes down to preference.
 
Ordered the X210's as they are on clearance at a shop that sounds like a Indian food. Only 9.99 and with Quidco couldnt say no.

Just hope they are not too big but at that price what the hell.
 
just re-checked the price and they seem to have sold out (not surprised at that price). Also noticed they have upped the price too. Still got my dispatch email (at the 9.99 price) so mine should arrive soon. Ill post an update with a review for anyone who is interested.
 
Got my S220 today, for the price they are brilliant, they will never rival anything decent but they are a mile better than the mega crap they ahd before.
