There are days when I want to throw my gaming headset off my head. Not out of rage. No, I suffer from something called uncomfortable ear lobes from wearing those damned things all day. It’s in these tough times that I look to my pair of trusty PC speakers to deliver bass-thumping audio instead.
For many years PC speakers have been ruled by nondescript towers that left a lot to be desired in terms of audio quality and oomph. Thankfully, PC gaming’s obsession with overkill has led manufacturers to craft some truly extraordinary speakers to set down on your desk. Even going as far as a soundbar with a head-tracking, beam-forming AI built-in. Neat.
There really are many options to choose from nowadays. Thankfully that’s why our team exists. We’ve put six popular options on test, from the best of the best gaming kit to a still surprisingly awesome saver option.
