Best computer speakers

Computer speakers sit either side of the monitor and plug in by USB, 3.5 mm or Bluetooth. Even a small powered pair sounds far fuller than laptop or monitor speakers; a subwoofer adds bass for games and films.

How we picked

We compared 109 speakers with real Amazon listings and kept the 62 that meet all of this:

Made for a computer desk

Every pick fits, so the order is about what to look at first. Models that independent reviewers recommend come first, the most often recommended at the top. The rest follow, best known and best liked first, with the newest model of a line ahead of older ones. No brand pays to be listed or placed higher. Prices change daily, so we never print one; Amazon shows today's price.

Reviews we drew on
