The award-winning, THX-certified ProMedia 2.1 computer/gaming speakers are the perfect match for any desktop. But more importantly, this compact, three-piece setup delivers high-quality sound that puts some home theater systems to shame. Music, Movies, TV, Gaming, Klipsch ProMedia. 

Troubleshoot: (1) If no sound, ensure that: - Power, input, speaker cables and connectors are securely attached - Software is properly installed and functioning - Computer sound (control panel) volume is turned up and not muted - LED glowing (2) If one or more speakers have little or no sound, ensure that:- All cables are connected properly- Connectors are fully "seated" in sound card and speakers- Main and subwoofer level controls are properly adjusted on control pod.

Wirecutter

The ProMedia 2.1 system comes with a subwoofer to improve bass response in movies and video games, and it has a clean, simple design.

What are some good quality, inexpensive speakers?

 I'm likely to be blown away once I replace the defective satellite speaker. Bass from the subwoofer is very impressive when you consider it's compact size. The right satellite speaker includes bass and volume control as well as (2) 3.5mm jacks

 The right satellite speaker includes bass and volume control as well as (2) 3.5mm jacks. One allows you to plug in a set of earbuds and the second allows you to port music directly into the speaker system and not rely on audio from the PC. Initially I intended to give this product a 1 or 2 star rating because one of the speakers isn't working properly and I'm still upset that I purchased from an unauthorized dealer on Amazon, but to be fair to the product, I'll give it a 3 star rating because this system is a dramatic improvement over my previous 2

Unfortunately for me, I purchase this item through an unauthorized dealer, "Audio Plaza" on Amazon, who was unable to assist with a warranty issue. Now I know why! They're not an authorized dealer and therefore may be selling refurbished, damaged and/or inferior versions of this product. That being said and assuming I have an authentic set of speakers from Klipsch (vs. a knock-off); even though one of the satellite speakers isn't working properly, I'm very impressed overall with the sound quality from this system

Does this fit? Coming up to 71 years old and totally lost with the current audio regime. Got a vinyl collection going back to the 70's (and later CD's). Would really like a wire free turntable and wire free speakers but CD playability as well. I live in the UK (and did not vote Brexit) and been in touch with a reputable chain over here, namely Richer Sounds, who advised a Yamaha system.  This was a Yamaha Musiccast 500 turntable and Musiccast 20 speakers. No CD compatibility but guess that could be added. Cost about $1200 equivalent. Could go up to $2000 max. In my ignorance, thought Yamaha only dealt with motorcycles. My partner says I'm prejudiced  Also been looking at Denon set-ups. Any suggestions most welcomed but please keep the tech speak to a minimum.
Thanks to you all and take good care.

 Back again, as we have been inundated with off topic posts...

Every sub-reddit has a focus - it's raison d'etre *(reason for existence).* **Because** if you don't focus, people stop participating because it has just become one big mess of topics.

Ours focus is ... education, discussion, and sharing of entry and mid level separate &amp; multi component audio systems. **Generally speaking, that is 2 channel stereo systems** assembled for music listening - things that are both "budget" and "audiophile". So being budget is not enough, nor is being "audiophile". Generally speaking, **UNDER** $1,000 spent per component is our threshold, although obviously that number will vary by the person. Budget for me was $50 (all in) at one time. Now I am fortunate that if I want to, I don't mind spending $500 a piece. Others can go more - good for them.  
Try [r/audiophile](https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/) if your spending more than $1,000 per component.

Of course, many of us use our music listening set ups for multiple purposes - so 2.1 (adding a subwoofer), 3.0 (L/R with a center channel), 5.1 (surround) and up are also fair game. But the fundamental goal of this reddit is better 2 channel and 2.1 systems to play music - as good as we can afford.

What we are not is ***soundbars, boomboxes, bluetooth speakers PC branded audio solutions.*** Those things have their place, but it's not our reason to exist. As for just the soundbar aspect that belongs at [r/soundbars](https://www.reddit.com/r/soundbars/)

In addition, **we are not about IEM's or Headphones** (try [r/headphones](https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/) or [r/HeadphoneAdvice](https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/)). That is their reason for existence. Yes, they can be budget audiophile, but again, it's not our focus.

While part of "budget audiophile", for more detail, try [r/turntables](https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables), [r/vinyl](https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/), and [r/hometheater](https://www.reddit.com/r/hometheater/) for questions specific to them. There will be a better chance of a more educated response there to those issues. Those questions are welcome here, but probably better there once you get past "budget". Questions on Vintage equipment? [r/vintageaudio](https://www.reddit.com/r/vintageaudio/) is the place for you to get better advice (likely)

DIY is also part of "budget audiophile", but [r/diyaudio/](https://www.reddit.com/r/diyaudio/) and [r/diysound](https://www.reddit.com/r/diysound/) focuses a lot more heavily on that issue.

So to reiterate, we don't hate headphones, logitech, or soundbars, etc. But those questions don't belong here and your post may well be deleted or closed. Because those are not the issues we have chosen in BudgetAudiophile to make part of this sub-reddit. You may not agree, but that is what it is.

What BudgetAudiophile is, and is Not (Repost)

 If you prefer nonstop booming than get the Klipsch Promedia or the Logitech Z623, but try out the Creative T4. They might be in the same class as the bose companion speakers but with better bass.

 I also noticed that the bass with the klipsch was working as if in a seperate level from any music being played. With T4 any music being played sounded harmonically. If you prefer nonstop booming than get the Klipsch Promedia or the Logitech Z623, but try out the Creative T4. They might be in the same class as the bose companion speakers but with better bass

 No on or off switch but i figured I'd use a power switch. Still couldn't Klipsch update that ugly design. I mean it's from 2001! The satellites looked too big and ugly sitting on my table. I also tried Logitech Z537 speakers and the sound was much worse

Good but not good enough!

 Given the difference in sound, I’d wager the second. Be careful out there when purchasing this! The Klipsch unit is great - 4 stars - needs an on/off switch, a digital/optical connection and a 5.1 upgrade would be nice. The purchase from Amazon gets 1 star…

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this Klipsch 2.1 setup because my home theater is almost all Klipsch and I really have grown to love the brand and speaker sound. I wanted something similar for my PC

1 will do. To my surprise, the bass response and volume was pitiful! Out of sure disbelief, I purchased the same unit from Costco.com to see if maybe the Amazon unit was bad. To my surprise, the Costco subwoofer weighed in 60% heavier than the Amazon purchase unit

 60%! Amazon weighed in at 11.1 lbs while the Costco unit was 16.6 lbs! Wow! To my happiness, the bass on the Costco purchased unit was WAY better! Only two things could have caused the difference in weight. A revision of the product (no manufacturing date found but there are differences on the rear labeling) OR a fake/fraudulent product

Received a FAKE - light weight sub with poor bass response

  Undoubtedly best budget PC speakers for miles in all directions.  No competition comes close for that price.  And to think they came out a decade ago.

Updoot for the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's.  Undoubtedly best budget PC speakers for miles in all directions.  No competition comes close for that price

My work from home setup, still need to hide the ugly wires.

 But as far as this set goes I'll give it a 4 star, because I do not like having to get up and turn the sound up, man they need a remote I didn't think about that when I bought these for my G.daughter and another con is why isn't there a on - off switch??? I have it hooked up to a surge protector but that turns everything off so I have to un-plug them when I leave the room, I don't watch TV back there everyday but if I did which then maybe I wouldn't. I think I will wait till the warranty goes out and will open up the Sub and install a off-on switch that should be in there. I find thou that I can adjust the volume some what thru the TV when I set the volume on the speaker control to about 60 percent and use the remote to adjust some which works for me right now, but I'm looking into getting my electronic friend to help me fix a remote for the speakers their self, like he said he could do something that will work, I guess 45 years doing what he does for a living pays off for me maybe

 Don't shy away from these just because of what I wrote these Klipsch are much better than just about anything I have listen to in a long time, I had an old set of 2.1 Aztec Lansing that was 22 years old and sold them to person that is still listening to them and I wanted to buy them back at the price I paid for them back in the day and oh no I could get them back they had a 8 inch sub and 3 inch speakers and 1/2 inch Twitter the sub must have weight 15 pounds and ported to kick A$$ and the price was about $85. bucks then, and I say these Klipsch are the first ones I every heard that even came close to the Lansing's, yeah I'm impressed by these but with no way to turn them off and on is a little bummer, and no remote! I know I shouldn't ask for the world at this price but I'd pay a extra $20. for those two things, Oh forgot I don't care for how the big plug connects in the back of the Sub, I'm going to do as I seen in one picture from another review that attached a tie to the wire to keep it from coming loose in case of moving it around, I guess Klipsch's doesn't think you'll be moving the speakers around, well I have and I had to watch the wire and the type of plug they use could be improved, it's like a S-Video type plug old school, come on Klipsch's do better then that and have a attachment to hold the wire in place securely

 #4 , The sound is Very Impressive for the size, it will fill up a nice size room with the sound, my bedroom I have these in is 12' X 13' and it's more than enough to fill it. #5 , The Satellite speakers have a very nice design, and the front cover does come off and the fabric is just the right thickness CON'S #1 , No On - Off switch ! Bummer ! #2 , "No Remote" a really big Bummer ! #3 , The Satellite speaker housings are plastic, could they had made them with wood? maybe? #4 , The Satellite speakers housings need a port in the back for them to I think sound better? Any speaker sounds better when you can get the thump released, that way the speaker won't rattle. #5 , The wires are connected to the Satellite speakers and are a couple feet short, you can add wire if you want. #6 , I wish that the wires for the Volume control were longer since it comes off the bottom of the Satellite right speaker, then you could at least get the control over to around the area that you sit to control volume instead of having to get up to adjust volume

 Their curvature also prevents the use of traditional bookshelf speaker brackets.]  I noticed that as I eased up the volume, those mids got richer and highs became quite a bit sharper. That's great for entertaining, cleaning, and puttering around the house, but far too loud to work comfortably. Fiddling with the woofer-to-speaker balance, I was able to push mids/highs in a way that provided a better overall sound quality with only a small amount of bass sacrifice

 Where it starts to stumble is in the upper-midrange and higher frequencies. This is where most of the human voice, piano, snare/cymbals, and lead instruments live.  Because of its distinct production quality, I like to check performance on Mike Doughty's 'Bustin' Up a Starbucks.' I set the main volume and subwoofer at roughly equal levels (I wish the knobs had internal 'clicks' so I could be sure, but not a big deal)

  HOWEVER, when I elevated the speakers to ear level: voila! There they were! I bought a couple of small floating shelves and they sound terrific. [Side note: these boys are about 6" deep, so most small speaker/security cam shelves are too shallow. Their curvature also prevents the use of traditional bookshelf speaker brackets.]  I noticed that as I eased up the volume, those mids got richer and highs became quite a bit sharper

I set the main volume and subwoofer at roughly equal levels (I wish the knobs had internal 'clicks' so I could be sure, but not a big deal). At what felt like a comfortable working volume, I found mids and highs to be a bit cloudy. I missed the crispy sound of the snare and all of the separation detail you get on headphones or even a car stereo

Bass: Great. Speakers: VERY directional
