The sound on my tv is pretty rubbish,and for my 360 i want a surround sound kit.I have seen a kit that was designed for the 360 but its about £150.Is it possible to hook 5.1 pc speakers to a 360?

the sound on my tv has no bass,i bought some headphones and the sound is so much better,the airstrikes on cod4 sound so much better.There is sound effects i dont get through my tv like on cod4 on the creek map you can hear the trees creeking and rocks falling off the cliffs.

The z5500's are a lot better than the 360 styles kit.

I couldn't say from first-hand experience, but I paid the extra £60 for the z5500's as I thought they'd be better anyway and they are a cracking bargain set of speakers.

Is that the Yamaha 5.1 for the 360? Yeah put another £30 towards the Z-5500.

I seriously think these speakers are probably my best buy, great for music and films from my computer and games from PC and 360. The control center is superb, easy to just plug in headphones late at night, absolutely love them.

I just got a home cinema system, some Sony HTSF1000 or something. It is great
