This system includes two pieces of satellite speakers and 1 subwoofer. The more expensive models are the 5.1 and 7.1 wireless computer speakers. There are 7 satellite speakers for the 7.1 systems and 5 satellite speakers for the 5.1 systems.

Computer speakers get far less attention than their more expensive counterparts – home theater system speakers. Today, you can buy the best computer speakers that will reproduce lifelike sound at an affordable price.

Sound Card

Before you set your eyes on buying the best computer speakers you can afford, you must understand that a lot depends on your laptop or desktop’s sound card too. The purpose of this card is to render and process audio information. Almost all computers have an in-built sound card typically capable of doing an adequate job of audio reproduction for day to day use.

This card is capable of high quality, multi-channel audio reproduction (Dolby Digital Surround Sound, etc.). If you are an audiophile, or enjoy recording music on your computer, then you should definitely consider getting an additional sound card for your system.

Computer Speakers Buying Guide

Once you have a quality sound card – whether in-built or purchased additionally – you can get down to buying the best computer speakers for your needs. A set of high quality speakers can set you back by over $200, while you can get an ‘adequately’ functional speaker system for less than $50.

For audiophiles, nothing less than a 5.1 speaker system would do, though a set of quality 2.1 computer speakers would be quite adequate as well.

1. Frequency Range 
The human ear can hear sounds up to 20,000 Hz. The greater the frequency range of the computer speakers, the better the audio reproduction.

2. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) 
Signal to Noise Ratio or SNR is a measurement of how much a signal has been corrupted by noise. Speakers are typically rated at 65 dB, 75 dB, 90 dB, etc. You should try to get a speaker system with as high a SNR number as possible.

3. Audio Input 
The best computer speakers should have a single pin audio input.

4. Output Control
The best computer speakers would have buttons, knobs, etc. for controlling the audio built directly on the speakers themselves. Higher quality speakers have woofers made out of denser materials like glass fiber, Kevlar, etc. This provides deeper, richer sound reproduction. Remember that you’ll spend a lot of time before your computer, staring at the speakers.
