A trio of excellent speakers from 50 to 250.
A good set of speakers can really make the music you listen to and the games you play on your computer come to life. Here is our selection of the best 2020 computer speakers, including powerful options from 50 to 250 that require no additional equipment.
Each compliment here is well suited for use with laptops and desktop PCs, and the two mid-range and high-end options include Bluetooth and operating systems to work with drag-and-drop games, smartphones and tablets too.
For the purposes of this article, the budget speaker is under 50, the medium speaker speaker is close to 100 and the speaker high is less than 250. Of course, it's possible to use hundreds or thousands of all kinds of speakers and audio bars; these definitions are shorthand than the industry standard. If you want to spend more, feel free to do your research with the many options available and find a speaker that fits your needs!
Without further ado, let's get into the recommendations.
Best Computer Speakers: Creative Pebble Plus
The cheapest computer speakers we have ever tried are Creative Pebble Plus. These speakers can be offered for less than 50, making them affordable access to any PC gaming setup, yet they provide surprisingly good sound with perfect bass thanks to their dedicated thanks. These are not the best speakers in the world, or even at this price point, but they do that by keeping the distortion low and providing a good degree of clarity. The speakers are quite small, ensuring that there is enough desk space for your favorite mouse space and one of the most important gaming keyboard. Spending more money will get you a better experience, but if you're on a limited budget this is a good choice.
In the UK, the old Creative A250 is also very loud at about 26, but we couldn't find it (at a reasonable price) in the US.
Best mid-range computer speakers: Creative T100
The newly released Creative T100 is our second option, leading the 100ish category thanks to its long feature list, good audio quality and long range. Communication is a solid point here, with optical options (S / PDIF), 3.5mm and Bluetooth (powered by NFC pairing). We tested them with a smartphone connected via Bluetooth, an optical PC and a 3.5mm audio player, all of which work flawlessly. USB input is included, if you want to play music directly from the speakers without the need for a source device.
Depending on the sound quality, the lack of a subwoofer means you lose a bit of endless oomph, even with bass ports in the background. However, this limited range makes for a good specification given the T100s. Mids and highs are best produced with rich tones. Overall, a solid option at this price point if communication and usability are important to you.
If you choose something that is equivalent to the gamer's greatest beauty, then the Logitech G560 is a 2.1GB RGB system at about the same price range.
Best speakers for high-end computer: Edifier R2000DB
Next we have a bunch of hard-working paper speakers that work just as well as computer speakers, even though their larger size (174289252mm) means they aren't suitable for smaller desks. The Edifier R2000DB is distinguished by its clean look, wide stereo specs and well-matched audio output from lows to mids and highs. Bass are tight and controlled, while the high-end tones are nice and muscular.
The Edifier R2000DB incorporates Bluetooth, Optical and 3.5mm inputs, which provide multiple interfaces to keep all your devices connected at the same time, as well as (will) remotely control everything.
Overall, it's a compelling package in the most logical point. If you can't stretch the R2000DB, check out the cheapest Presonus E4.5.
