Creative ZiiSound T6: Cheap Surround Sound for Computers

The Creative ZiiSound T6 looks like a great, REAL cheap surround sound system for computers. It's nice and small, compact, and wireless. You can use it via bluetooth as well as USB and iPod/iPhone. Sounds pretty nifty to me, but even cooler? Comes with a 5.1 encoder app to turn your computer's sound into surround. Check out what home theater blog "Big Picture Big Sound" had to say. 

ZiiSound T6 is part of Creative's well-received Pure Wireless speaker family, compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth stereo sources, including PCs, Macs, tablets, laptops and even netbooks, in addition to the iPhone, iPad and select iPods. Pairing the speakers to a device is quick and easy, and the high-performance apt-X codec assures low latency in wireless configurations.

It is also positioned as the new flagship product in the ZiiSound lineup, but going a step further with support for 5.1-channel content when we use a wired USB connection. (A 5.1 software decoder is required for this application.) The top drivers on the full-bandwidth satellite speakers are swivel-mounted, for rear-channel effects which can take advantage of wall reflectivity, or they can be angled for an enhanced stereo effect. The satellites also feature audiophile-grade aluminum drivers.

A Little More Price for a Lot More Power...

I was reading CyberTheater today and they posted about a seemingly great surround sound system made by Sony. It costs $500, but should last you a lifetime. It's an incredible system with some great features. Here's a picture, and some more description from CyberTheater. For more cheap surround sound systems and news, check out MyCheapSurroundSound.com

The Sony DV-E770W home theater system comes is a 5.1 channel, one thousand watt system that comes with a Blu-ray player as well as four satellite speakers, a center channel speaker and a subwoofer. Further, you’ll also get Bravia Internet Video systems for streaming video from various sources, wireless rear speakers thanks to the S-AIR system, a free app to turn your iPod or iPhone into a remote for this setup, a Digital Media Port for your various devices, Bravia Sync, Digital Cinema Auto Calibration that will tell you where to place your speakers according to the conditions in the room, Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD decoders, a component input, a variety of sound modes, two analog audio inputs, one HDMI output, and one optical audio input.

The best part about this system is that it covers just about everything. Not only are you covered as far as your old media goes–DVDs are just fine in a Blu-ray player–but it’ll also cover the current crop of Blu-rays, and when the future arrives and we’re all streaming our content straight off the net, you’re covered there too.
