Hercules XPS 5.1 70

Bargain sound system

A full 5.1 surround sound system for just 50 notes? Surely purchased from a gruff, hatchet-faced man in a pub on the Essex road? Remarkably, no.

Admittedly, with no tailor-made inputs for games consoles, and speakers on too-short, hardwired cables, this does smell a bit Lambrini. More importantly, though, it sounds posterior-poundingly intense, with in-game effects blasting out with appropriate gusto - although music and dialogue do suffer at higher volumes.
