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.
G560 LOGITECH $200

1 The Logitech G560 speakers have been around for a good few years now. But if you're already bringing an impressive 2:1 setup why change things? This Logitech kit is something I'm particularly familiar with-I've been using them on my desk at home for many years, swapping them back in whenever I was done testing the next new thing.
There's something snappy and simple about the interface on the Logitech G560, and RGB LEDs are visible on the back and sides of each tweeter. There are a few fun RGB modes, even, which admittedly I've long turned off.
The important thing is that the two tweeters produce detailed audio capable of immersing you wholly. No 2:1 speaker is going to offer a proper surround sound experience, but the G560 is a great-sounding speaker setup for its simple form factor. The bass is heavy out of the box, but can be toned back for day-to-day use, and you really can pump the volume up to 11.
