TECHNOLOGY: BEST SPEAKERS FOR PC

You may have probably noticed,that music only sounds as good as the system it is playing through. Few things in life are as important as good music. Some  systems come with built-in tone control and a headphone jack while others offer both wired and wireless  modes. The first is for easier listening at night without having to connect and disconnect the speakers all the time.

Most people now find it easier to either to just use an ipod dock or bluetooth speaker, for better sound quality and stereo seperation or  to hook up a pair of PC speakers to their desktop, laptop or mobile device. And lately, some manufacturers put a premium on design, and regulating the old, boxy pair of speaker cabinets to the dusty past in the process.

Now that your PC also acts as a stereo system, and if you are concern about tue quality of your audio, you should upgrade to a pair of speakers from the top four lists.
