Everything from two to seven speakers is available, in a wide variety of sizes, and price ranges. Having impressive speakers is nice, but is it really necessary in the world of modern gaming? Or, could a person get away with a cheaper, more convenient option? After all, it isn\u2019t easy to find the space for seven speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the speakers available, and see how necessary they are for modern video gaming or playing the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinenzcasino.co.nz\/roulette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online Roulette NZ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes available. And always keep in mind, just because it costs more, it doesn\u2019t always mean that it is going to offer a better gaming experience.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"7a7853692f91f1c3aa9fe870b4069c5d\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- techiewhizkid_link_1 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8372396756447573\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9242151396\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><b>Games Utilising Audio<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s talk about if modern video games even take advantage of expensive speaker setups. Many games these days support Surround Sound comparability, meaning that they are capable of utilising a full range of multiple speakers. 5.1 speakers, for example, have a central subwoofer, plus a range of five smaller speakers. A game compatible with surround sound will feed audio to each of these speakers as is required, creating an immersive audio experience that surrounds the player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not all games are capable of using 5.1 speakers in this fashion. Many games simply aren\u2019t designed to make use of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Surround_sound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surround Sound audio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning that the full range of the speakers is not used to their full potential. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stereo Speakers and Headphones<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, we have simple stereo speaker systems, or two speakers. These sound setups, although seeming simple in comparison to Surround Sound setups, can be extremely effective and immersive. High quality stereo speakers are the most convenient, and often the cheapest. Almost all games will make use of a stereo speaker setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headphones are often regarded as the best choice for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/worldofs.com\/top-multiplayer-online-games-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all types of gaming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A good pair of headphones can offer an exceptional audio experience; one that many would argue surpasses even the best speakers. The only con is that good headphones can be alarmingly expensive. In most cases a good set of speakers will be cheaper than a great pair of headphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Sound Is Optional<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a bottom line, good sound is a great addition for many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ickle.org\/games\/consoles\/xbox\/2018-xbox-game-releases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">modern video games<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But, the best speakers available are certainly not necessary in order to enjoy a game to it\u2019s full potential. The most expensive headphones and speakers are a luxury, and many games will not even be able to take advantage of their full potential<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A person can get by just fine with a decent to good pair of speakers, and still have an immersive video game experience. Those with space limitations in their gaming area need not worry about having a 5.1, or even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/what-is-1-in-surround-sound-1846777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.1 setup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0In fact, a decent pair of headphones is an excellent idea if space is a worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who can afford it, and for those with space to spare, a 5.1 Surround Sound setup is great with a video game that supports all audio channels. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1518&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;5\\\/5 - (1 vote)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Are The Best Speakers Really Needed For Modern Gaming?&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;142.5&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 142.5px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            5\/5 - (1 vote)    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to speakers for gaming, there is an enormous selection to choose from.
