And some companies have got up to speed with this idea, releasing studio monitor style speakers with mainstream features like Bluetooth.

Read on for our top computer speaker picks. And don’t forget to upvote your favourite.

Best computer speakers

Logitech Z623
£52.98 at AmazonZ906. This is a brilliant surround system now available at half price.However, it doesn’t have USB input so you’ll need a digital audio output to make full use of all those speakers. And not many laptops have one of those these days. The Logitech Z623 just need a headphone jack.
AmazonBasics Computer Speakers
£12 at AmazonLogitech Z120. Those speakers use a full-size USB connector: great for most Windows laptops, not so good for MacBooks.
