Talking about my Bose speakers today and they no longer work.
I think about it, i liked the sound of Promedia 2.1.
Now thinking whether to get that or the heritage model but the color that want is out of stock. :(

Just don't know if they are reliable since it's a new model. :(
Promedia 2.1 one of the best in the business

Heritage, honestly it isnt that expensive at 499 retail... wait for those discount dates and you can pushed it much lower

From specs, the Heritage is much improved, especially the subwoofer, it now extends lower. Bluetooth and RCA inputs which is much better than the 3.5mm input on the original. Not to mention, a much better styling, you can use it in your living room, and it will still fit in nicely

The white colour is oos.
And my table has only 16cm left for both satellites. Am considering whether I should get edifier s351db.

ProMedia satellites are each 14cm wide.
351db about 13cm.

Thinking of buying a plank to extend my space just for my speaker satellites. :(

Either extend your desk space or put the speakers on stands

For your promedia budget, theres another good alternative in that range, can have a look at iLoud MTM

U all need to know and realise that there is no such thing as gaming speaker. A speaker is a speaker. Same as a chair. What gaming chair?!? A chair is a chair. What can a gaming speaker do other speaker cannot do??

I know a speaker that's good for gaming would allow u to hear clearly where certain sounds originates from (left or right... in front or at the back... far away or close by) like footsteps... voices... explosions etc which is vital for gaming and not all speakers are good for that (I dunno if it's called sound separation or something liddat)... oh and it would also allow u to pick up/hear the slightest/softest of sounds (I guess only good speakers in general would let chiu do that)...

No bro not like this... You dont need a gaming speaker to do all that. You are 1 classic victim of a marketing term. A good speaker should be as flat as possible (means straight line on a frequency graph). What sound seperation sound stage comes after that. A decent speaker can do all that you dont need a 'gaming' speaker. There is no such thing.

That frequency graph thing... i dunno how to read all that haha...

Chiu know the Lenovo "gaming" speakers that I just got... the sound is sharp and clear... has a decent amt of bass... good for listening to music but I find that the sound is "enveloping" too much... the sound is too surround-ish (like what u hear with "surround sound")... chiu know wat I mean? Could this be a characteristic of "gaming" speakers if there is such a thing? Maybe the surround sound effect allows gamers to be able to pin-point more clearly where a certain sound eminates from in relation to where they are (their position)?

No la what you are hearing is likely a software enhanced surround sound settings. Most of the time this kind of settings degrade sound quality. Sound stage is normally measure by horizontal and vertical directive using professional tools. It should be natural and not software enhanced. A 2.0 speaker can never give you a surround sound. Impossible. Physics dont work like this de

Sorry to say but all marketing gimmick to lure ppl to buy and believe what they bought by introducing a few enchancement gimmick. You may never fully accept what i say now, but if you are interested in audio or as a hobby, u will learn more as u read and test speakers. audiosciencereview forum is a good place to start.
