Best External Speakers for XPS 1640

I was looking into buying a speaker set before I head out for college. I prefer at least a 2.1 set (speakers + subwoofer). I saw the Hercules XPS 2.1 Lounge Speakers from Dell. Are those good? Or can anyone recommend a better solution?

 

Get the Creative GigaWorks T3. That's what I'm getting soon.

 

I have the Bose Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system they sound realy nice http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/speakers/computer_speakers/companion_5/index.jsp

A snip at a million bucks per channel lol.

You did say best

Seriously though these are superb little audiophile grade speakers which I use with my laptop:

I returned the AudioEngine A2's cause they sounded to weak/thin. Not enough bass for me and I'm not even talking about Rap/R&B. Just regular stuff.

 

Really? I find the bass superb for such small speakers.

 

I'm partial to the Swan Active Desktop line myself. Specifically the M200MkII. There's a professional review of the M200MkII speakers here.

 

if space is not too big of an issue. buy a set of loitech 2.1 speakers. they run about $150 and have enough bass to shake the house down. trust me you wolnt regret buying them

 

I'm also looking for a new speaker/sub system for when I get my XPS. I'm ordering mine with the Bluetooth card; can one get battery powered/chargeable wireless bluetooth speakers? And/or headphones?

 

Bump: seems silly starting another thread.

 

i would not recommend blu tooth headphones/speakers. They never work as well IMO.
