The other computer speakers we have tested

There are tons of computer speakers on the market and many of us have tested is completely good but not worthy of one position above for one reason or another.
Edifier QR65 for $ 370: Provides a high -class appearance with super cold light effects and loud, powerful sounds, these speakers are great for music, movies or games. They also come with two angular racks to indicate them in your ears. They have USB, RCA and Bluetooth 5.3 inputs and USB ports to charge your devices. The control is good, with a physical button on the right speaker for power and cycling through modes. The problem is that they are very large and will not be suitable for most desktops, including mine.
Creative Pebble X Plus for $ 130: If our budget is not completely done for you, Creative's Pebble X Plus will add a cubic subwoofer under your table. The larger speakers, with RGB light, are also stronger and provide powerful bass. They sound good for money. The connection is also enhanced compared to the above V3, with headphones and microphones and bluetooth 5.3, but all this always has a higher cost.
Blueant's soundblade for $ 130: If there is a prize for the most stylish soundbar, Bluant's curved soundblade will win. Soundblade also brings a surprising nuance sound and a real punch of bass, polite of the sedimentary speaker. It is said to sit under your screen but not serve as a standing or riser (sad, blueant told me not to put anything on it). Good connection with USB-C, 3.5 mm or Bluetooth 5.3, but the voice reminders are very uncomfortable. It sounds good for movies and games, but the middle sounds are a bit muddy and the peaks are limited to hinder music. It comes with a handy remote control.
Oxs Thunder Lite for $ 150: This compact soundbar lacks the bells and whistles of the older siblings above but the price is much more affordable. It can receive a lot of noise, support virtual surround sound and come with a small remote control. Unfortunately, the separation is very poor, so it is difficult to know where the sound comes from in the game, and it lacks serious bass for a soundbar with thunder in its name. The connection includes USB-C, 3.5 mm, optical or HDMI and it supports Bluetooth 5.0.
Creative Sound Blaster GS5 for $ 70: Although it does not completely have the power of the Thunder Lite Oxs above, this sound is less than half the price and is suitable for the connection, even adding cool RGB light to the underside. It also has a remote and good software to make EQ and lighting adjustments. The sound is clear, and the bass is limited, but this is a small snake sound for money and works well as a desktop computer.
Innovation stage V2 for $ 105: This affordable Soundbar offers excellent connection with HDMI ARC, Optical, USB, 3.5 mm and Bluetooth 5.0. But it is not particularly strong, can sound muddy and flat, and there is a short cable (not good for sitting table). The subwoofer lends some good bass, has a remote control and I like the clear dialog box option to sharpen the voice, but you can do better.
House of Marley gathered Duo for $ 120: Sports an attractive and environmentally friendly blend of bamboo and fabric, the Get Together duo from House of Marley is affordable. They connect via Bluetooth 5.0, RCA or AUX 3.5 mm. There is no subwoofer, mid -range dominated and they are lacking something at high levels. The right -powered speaker can also double as a portable speaker and you can use them as bookshelves or pair them with them House of Marley's Stir It Up Turntable ($ 110) .8/10, wired evaluation), but are computer speakers, they are only fine.
SteelSeries Arena 3 for $ 130: Sports a beautiful pear -shaped design with loudspeaker can be tilted and delicate brand, high school arena from Steelseries can become noisy. But they lack bass, loss of details in peaks and slightly blurred sounds for music. Even for Steelseries fans, there are not many reasons to choose these on some of our options above. They do not have light, USB or any other additional features.
Razer Nommo V2 X with $ 150: The sound quality of Razer's entry speakers is very solid for music, despite the lack of bass, and good for movies and games (with THX space support). These non -cumbersome speakers look great but lack subwoofer, RGB and remote light. They provide USB and Bluetooth connectivity and can be customized in Razer's Synapse software.
Logitech Z407 for $ 105: A complete 2.1 system at this price does not mean the feat. These speakers connect via USB, 3.5 mm or bluetooth and have wireless volume dials. The construction is cheap, and the sound lacks definition, but there is a good bass from the subwoofer, and the average and high level is very sharp, as long as you do not increase the volume too high. Wired Julian Chokkattu's reviewer said he used a variant of the Logitech Z series for nearly a decade and only recently gave them to others.
Logitech Z906 5.1 Surround audio speaker system for $ 400: This 5.1 system is certified THX and comes with a huge subwoofer, five speakers and a central control unit. The design feels, maybe even a bit bad and you need to run the cable around the room. The surround sound effect is solid and you can even switch the sound floating with 3D mode, but in general, it is a heavy bass system.
