If you have ever tried to watch a YouTube video on your desktop or laptop, you probably figured out pretty quickly the sound from the speakers in your computer are just terrible! They usually sound incredibly tinny with no bass at all. Of course, that is to be expected from speakers that are usually smaller in size than a dime!
Most of us spend hours every day in front of our computer both for work and entertainment. Working can be a lot more fun if we have some good music playing in the background and obviously watching a movie or YouTube video is a lot better experience with great sound.
If your computer hangs out in the same area where you like to kick back and listen to music, adding a pair of decent speakers may be just the ticket for getting some good sound into your living space. With computer speakers, the connections are very easy as the speakers have the amplifier and switching built into the speaker. All you have to do is get sound from your computer to them and provide them with power and you are up and running.
There are over 1,000 models of computer speakers on the market today. Most of them are an upgrade from the tiny speakers in your computer, but we decided to focus on the ones that sound as good as speakers you would want to put in a home audio system.
To make the cut, these needed to have a very easy way to connect up to your computer and be simple to control. We felt like the speaker system needed to have a USB connection, which makes connecting them super simple. The USB connection also lets you turn up the speaker’s volume control then simply use the volume level on your computer to adjust the output level. All of the models we suggest have a USB DAC built-in for an easy connection.
They also needed to sound great with music and not tire us out if we had them playing for 4-6 hours continuously. We’ve found a lot of inexpensive speakers start to grate on our ears after 30 minutes or so due to some kind of distortion in their cheap speaker components. We wanted them to be able to fit pretty easily on a desk, although we made a couple of exceptions for some models that can really rock the house when you want them to!
Finally, we gave out bonus points if the speakers included Bluetooth so your friends could easily connect to them when they came over.

My ass cant have speakers cus i still live at my parents
yeah, spending 200+ for a set of speakers that break up and get shitty when pushed? lol
Trash.
Why do you say super instead of very?
Are these speaker Hi Res speakers ? I specifically want Hi Res speakers to be able to listen to Hi Res music so you need Hi Res speakers to play them in.
I’m thinking of just getting 2 Google home MAX.
Wouldve been nice to actually HEAR a video about speakers

Hi guys
Please can you help me
I’m looking at the hd3 and the Klipsch 41pm
I would like to use the for my online lessons for better sound and a little bit of music when working at my home office
‘Audioengine pretty much invented the computer speaker decades ago’ What? For Christ’s sake, the company was set up in 2005!
He sounds normal at 1.25x speed.
Why did Focal, B&W stop computer speakers?
I have a HSU sub on my computer.
Why are you shouting my man?
LOL There is NO way I would use ANYONE of them on my home audio system, But then again I am an audiophile and my system would make you CRY!
How about a review of computer studio monitors?
The headline should change to top 5 expensive pc speaker. Most of YouTuber only do review on expensive to earn subscribe but they haven’t listened to all other products.
Thanks for content!
Best is Edifier S350DB great price and blow those away sound wise
Can you do a video to show how I can use/ connect my 5-1 surround sound set up ( with separate Amp ) . Is it as simple as connecting the amp via USB to my tower or am I dreaming / delusional 😳
What are the little stands under the A2+ that you show at 3 minutes in?
Is the Razer nommo pro good, or is there something better at its pricepoint?
You forgot Logitech 5.1
This group doesn’t make a lot of sense, there should be picks starting at a budget price point and going up. These are all $300 and up, which doesn’t make sense, especially when you consider that you’re reviewing a couple tiny little units that are easily blown away by cheaper larger speakers. Most of us don’t drop hundreds of dollars on computer speakers.
Great reviews. One small suggestion, please stop shouting.

Nah still using my good old Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers
Good good. Now do a list of ones I can afford.
What is the speaker stands at 2:56?
Klipsch huh? I got those and I’m returning them. I don’t recommend them for computer speakers at all. I’m upgrading from Bose Mediamate speakers which were excellent but over the use of 2 decades I blew the speakers because of the high volume play when I would leave the room. Then I thought Klipch right, because it would handle the higher volumes when I’m away from my desk. The speakers are no good for the desktop, way too much base, remember you are sitting 3ft from the speakers. First time listening to them I got a pounding headache. They sound great for bookshelf speakers, leaving the room I could def tell the base output in the house.
this is just another boring review without any sound demo… waste of time….nobody cares what you think…
Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX. going for $100.00 at Costco
Using a DAC is the key. You’ve wasted your money if you are using any of the speakers in this list with the analog audio jack of your computer (unless you have a sound card with a discreet DAC). On the other hand you don’t have to spend a fortune to get good sound. I bought a set of KEiiD compact computer speakers for $80 from Amazon for my Mac Mini and immediately realized that the analog jack wasn’t doing them justice. I added the FX-Audio DAC X-6 ($65 on Amazon, non Bluetooth) in between the speakers and a USB port on the computer. I now have a compact speaker system for my computer that sounds way more expensive than what I spent for it. Getting a DAC is the key, if you are willing to experiment you could probably assemble a decent sounding system for half of what I spent.
Let’s make a dishonest video about USB speaker and send people to our website to buy them at inflated prices.
No 5.1 setups? 😔
Fail points, Gloss Black.
what about vanatoo t zero, i have them and love the heck out of them
Vanatoo T1 Encores beat all of them, did they pay you?
Surprised Vanatoo T0’s arent on this list
I ended up going with the Edifier S350DB as they were discounted at 35% less. I’m very happy with the performance of this amazing set.
All these speakers start at about $300 US, why would anyone want to spend that much on computer speakers?
What about the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system? Two satellite speakers and a subwoofer already set up to go together. THX certified, too!
good review.
That Audioengine A2 sounds terrible for their price. It should be like $20. I have an old pair of Optimus speakers from the 1990s and that is how they sound. For the price just get the Bose Companion 20.
8 min advert
Cambridge should be in there
Thanks for the review and video. I am thinking of a 300w sound bar as an option. Would that be as good as speakers or not a good option for a computer?
Just get some fuckin KRKs or something dude. Sure these are more universal "plug and play" but if you’re in the $300 price range for a pair of desktop speakers like these, you might as well get a pair that won’t crunch on you if you crank them up
Great video, but I am sure you can find $50-$150 price range speaker.
