The Best Computer Speaker Set

Powered computer speakers are a great option for anyone who enjoys listening to music, watching movies, or playing video games through their computer. If you’ve relied on the speakers built into your laptop or monitor, you’ve probably noticed that the sound is thin and tinny, with little to no bass. That’s because the small speakers that fit in your laptop can produce only a portion of the frequency band that humans can hear. They tend to bottom out around 250 hertz, whereas humans can hear down to around 20 hertz and feel even lower than that. The two-way woofer/tweeter design of most computer speakers will increase the sonic fidelity of anything you listen to, allowing you to hear parts of songs that you would otherwise miss from a pair of laptop speakers. For example, a kick drum that sounds like a dull clap out of laptop speakers will sound more like the full-bodied thump you’d expect to hear at a concert when played through a good pair of computer speakers. If you want even more bass to handle the lowest frequencies in music, movies, and games, you can add a separate subwoofer. The picks inside of this guide have a relatively low footprint, so they won’t look ridiculous next to your laptop or monitor.
