shopping for TV/PC speakers for Windows, XBMC, gaming use
I like the built-in speakers of my Vizio TV well enough, but it's a hassle reaching behind the TV to plug in headphones and I wouldn't mind something a bit better, as far as volume levels go- I need to keep the sound low when using the speakers but must crank it up to use headphones.
My goal is 3 things-
1) good quality. Nothing tinny or quiet
2) an easy to reach headphone jack, Some speaker sets have a tiny hub with a jack
3) price. $25-$30 range, including shipping. Any higher than that and I can forget it. This means they should take a standard 3.5mm plug, I doubt I'll get a digital audio jack on something that cheap.
and a possible 4th goal- speakers that can be mounted on a wall. Mounting them above the TV along the wall would be the best spot.
