Best PC Speakers for FSX

Featured Replies

I am looking to purchase a quality pair of speakers plus a subwoofer to really crank up the FSX sounds especially when using the PMDG 737 NGX

 

Can anyone recommend something with real quality-I am prepared to pay for the realism.

 

I thank you in anticipation.

Michael Broom

Bose or Klipsch are great.

Bose speakers are generally very expensive, and I believe most people think that their quality does not justify their price. I used to use a set of Audioengine A5s, which were very nice and highly regarded by myself, CNET, and others on Amazon. While they are quite good for flight simulation, I primarily used them for classical / classic rock. The bass is pretty good, and you have the convenience of having fewer wires.

For Comps these are the ones you shoud look at

 

Altec Lansing MX5021

 

Klipsch Pro Media.

 

Both are 2.1 , i have owned a pair of MX5021 and nothing comes close to them but :( I have broken them due to shifting and I am now using AVS300 (Altec Lansing ) and they too are absolutely fantastic.

In regard to speakers JBL probably makes some of the best products you can find out there.

Yep and the original of JBL is lansing.

 

I agree you could get a good set of JBL's too.

I am currently using an old set of Altec Lansing AVS300s (which I see Ironmaiden is using as well). I would say that they work well for flight simulation, but the Audioengine A5s that will be coming back to me in December/January are far superior (and more expensive) regarding both gaming/simulation and music. Basically, if you are looking for speakers only for flight simulation, the desktop speakers recommended here will be sufficient. But I believe that my original recommendation of bookshelf speakers is far better looking and sounding in every regard.

Try out GigaWorks T40. Someone start identical topic few days ago. Please search for this in the forums, lot of interesting news there

Using Bose right now, but when I build my cockpit does ProSim737 allow surround sound? Engine sounds should be coming from the back, not the front :)
