When it comes to affordability, getting a 2.1 speaker system made by Sony for $50 is a good deal. But the low price does not mean low quality for the Sony SRSD21X system. It offers crisp, clear, full-ranging sound.

Features
The sound from these speakers rivals that of more expensive 2.1 sets, and has the brand backing of Sony behind it. It puts out a full-range of sounds that will improve your multimedia PC experience.
The only true drawback is that the sound is not as far-reaching as some may like. It can be a little tinny at low volumes, and a bit faint from a distance.
Performance
The speakers perform well for their price. The sound range is good, but has slight bass distortion when listening to some types of music. It's a good idea to tweak your EQ a little bit if you listen to a lot of pounding music. Ironically, however, unlike other, more expensive speaker sets, the mid-range sounds are crisp and clear at pretty much any volume.
