Are these a good pair of speakers for gaming?

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

I'm not a gamer, but I can say that the sound coming through the speakers is crisp and full when playing music -- much better sound than just using the laptop speakers.

I have used them for gaming when my regular headphones broke, but not for regular use. If u had nothing else, I guess they would be fine, but not as a first choice. You can still hear too much background noise. Hope that helps! : )

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

Yes, that's one reason I bought them. I recommend them to anyone. They are great speakers for the price. I use one for our drummer and one for our bass player and they work great.

It will be enough, bigger would be better but they sound great if even not optimized. Good speakers for the low price.

Honestly, I have tried both these and the GX Gaming edition. The GX Gaming one is definitely a lot better. It is $20.00 more but well worth it in my opinion.http://www.amazon.com/Genius-31731016101-Gaming-SW-G2-1-Speaker/dp/B00B1N0OFQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1392624485&sr;=1-3&keywords;=Genius+SW-

Probably not. Honestly these speakers are cheap. They only look good displayed thats all. Dont waste your money on this. Its cheap for a reason.

I'm careful with them and only use them for TV watching and PC games. They seem sturdy enough and sound awesome!

It really depends on how big of an audiophile you are. I'm not too big but I enjoy these. There could be more bass but I think they're with it still. If you're playing multiplayer and want that competitive edge, don't look here. Single player however, I think these work fine. If you ant that edge, I'd go for an gaming headset, probably gonna cost you over $150 at least for surround sound and not one of those "Amplified Stereo Sound" ones. These are pretty functional, simple, and easy to use.

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

I personally don't have any problems with using them with my PC, but since every PC is different at how they output sound it just depends on how much output your PC gives. This pair also doesn't need to be terribly loud since they have excellent sound isolation.

Unfortunately, i have not had the chance to play games with them since i use them for my office. However, they sound very good when playing music from my Jango account. The bass is very good for this system that i have to turn it down on the sub.

I bought these as an all-purpose set of headphones, but I use them 80% for gaming and 20% for music/TV/etc. I mostly play multiplayer, also. In my opinion, they sound stunning in games. I can hear sounds in these that I can't with other headphones (mostly ones that cost less than $100).In AC4 multiplayer for example, there are sounds that give you indications about your pursuers and targets that are clearer with these than others.Surround would be nice but I'd have to pay a lot more to get it. As far as the mic goes, for $10 you can buy a cheap headphone/mic adapter and a mic to go with these (can also spend more on better quality ones, though). Anyway, hope this helps.

No. They are good speakers but only for the low budget category. You get what you pay for and with the price of these, it is a good deal but don't expect high quality for any speakers less than a $1000 each.

It's great for both! I love em. Now I wouldn't wear these on the bus or in a store, but sitting on my computer they sound great. Only issue is...if you turn the speakers up high, there is a slight haze sound when there isn't anything playing. Other then that, best gaming headset I've owned. And I'm a music buff. You'd like it man!

Yea dude, they're a pretty good set of speakers, I've read that they sound tons better if you hook them up to an amp though. But even hooked up to just my stock hu they sound damn good. They're worth every penny man.
