Reddit mentions of Philips CSS2123B/F7 Soundbar with Subwoofer (Black)

You can have two out of the three: Bass, cheap and small. You can't get them all. Considering your budget you only have a few options and that's assuming that you only want a speaker system for you laptop/phone. I'll try to suggest something for you to look at.

• Amp and speakers this option is just an example. Troll Zeos for other options if going this route. You'll get decent speakers that are small but I'm worried they won't deliver enough bass for you. However, you could always save up to add a powered subwoofer to this and be in great shape. This also gives you the beginning of a true home theater and the flexibility to change out components.
  
  
• Boston XS 2.1 cinema probably one the best option that I can think of. Multiple inputs coupled with a nice sub should give some nice flexibility. You could also hook this up to the TV no problem if you wanted to.
  
  
• Klipsch ProMedia probably the best sounding computer speakers that I've heard in a while. Should meet your bass craving without any problems. Plug in a 3.5 to 3.5 cable and switch between laptop/phone as necessary.
  
  
• Soundbar w/o BT or one with BT would also fit the bill. "But Arm everyone hates soundbars"....yes I know but in this case I think it's a viable option. Lack of funds, space and need of bass make these work. FYI these are just a few example of the many soundbars out there. Bonus is that you could hook these up to a TV too.
  
  

Oh wow. It's interesting that the headphone jack fits in it, thought I do feel pretty stupid now. Do these speakers have the coaxial digital out? http://www.amazon.com/Philips-CSS2123B-F7-SoundBar-Speakers/dp/B007B5WHTE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1395107787&sr=8-6&keywords=sound+bar

I just bought this. It sounds very good, and has a deep base. Which was great playing the Destiny Beta. You can connect it up with an optical cable.


I also own this set

They work great for the price, but they don't have an optical port on them. Just to warn you when it comes to surround sounds, you do get what you pay for. The more your willing to pay the better system you can get.

Are you opposed to a soundbar setup?
