Looking for Speaker with Mic In and Sound out

[TheGentry]

So im looking for a set of speakers for my PC, that can sit on my desk so quite small, but have the ability to plug my headset in for quick gaming (atm i have to go to back of my computer and unplug my speakers and plug my headset in )

It has separate mic in and sound out 3.5 plugs (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/steelseries-siberia-200-gaming-headset-white-51132-sp-078-st.html) this headset to be exact.

Price wise under £100 sound quality doesnt have to be amazing i mainly use my headset but when i wana sit and watch something i wana just unplug it without gettin out my chair

Have you considered buying a normal pair of speakers and then running a pair of 3.5mm extensions to your desk to connect your headset, and then when you want to use speakers, unplug the headset and plug in the speakers (without having to leave your desk)?

Or you could use a headphone/speaker switch. You can make one yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron or buy one on Amazon or eBay for fairly cheap.

These speakers seem to have headphone and microphone connections. They get OK reviews online, as with all gaming audio they're probably not the best in terms of sound quality but will do the job.

I would recommend a headphone/speaker switch and better speakers though, such as these.

Certainly agree with above that you'll be much better off buying a switch box and better speakers than those Avermedia ones, which look ghastly. Speakers with microphone pass through are few and far between, so you'd be limiting yourself to slim pickings, and likely not particularly good ones at that.

Edifier R1600T III or the 1800 are very good, but are out of stock at OcUK. I do like the look of the R1000T's with the yellow cone, and they look good value at £50. No size specs given for those though, even on Edifier's site. Given they all have 4" woofer, they are likely to be the same size, which is about 15cm wide. Probably smaller in height and depth than the 1600 and 1800 though.

You mentioned about wanting small speakers, so I don't know if you are looking for smaller than that. If so, the best bet for speakers with a small footprint under £100 is Creative T20 or T40. Decent small speakers, although not as good as the Edifier's.

2.1 speakers might be worth looking at if you need some small on the desk. Harman Kardon Soundsticks III are very good 2.1 speakers if you don't mind the funky styling.
