Looking for affordable speakers with optical input

[Barbarian Conan]

As the title states, I'm looking for affordable speakers with optical input and with a minijack output for headphones as well.

I want to connect my PS4 directly to the speakers, and it doesn't have minijack output. I also don't want to go through the TV/screen, as it introduces a delay when playing Rocksmith.

I want to pay less than R1000. 2.1 is fine, but I doubt you will get 2.1 speakers with optical input.

A while back I was looking for the same thing (kind of) but for a different reason - I went from having a TV with an audio jack, to having a TV with no audio jack, and I always used my headphones with them. I'll spare that long and painful story of the troubles I went through, and just say that I couldn't find any reasonably priced soundbar or small speaker set with optical in and a jack output.

The best myself and a friend could come up with was a set of 2.1 Logitecs that had optical in, but they were not available locally, and it would have cost a small fortune to get them from Amazon.

What I settled for was this. It was around R100 cheaper at the time.

So you don't get speakers, but you get an audio jack for headphones. There may be better or cheaper alternatives out there that I'm not aware of though.

That's a bit more than I want to pay for something like that, but thanks.

I suppose I will just have to get normal speakers with minijack input and output and live with it.
