LET’S TALK ABOUT PC AUDIO SPEAKERS



Computer speakers are one of those PC accessories that are almost essential; and you can spend anywhere from $10.00 to $1,000.00 for quality PC speakers, depending on your budget.  

There are tons of tons of speakers with features and different prices as we know. But as I always say: WHAT and HOW is what I am looking for.

For sample: I have this one in my office and works properly, the only disadvantage is that has no RADIO and only can be played with micro SD and plugged to my computer. And only pay like $20-$25. USB charged and the battery longs for 6 hours.

Here there is some thoughts and share some personal ideas about this topic. I enjoy listening to music a lot, and because my computer is the main source for my digital music collection, a decent speaker system is essential.

Expensive is not always the way to go
At one point, I spent quite a bit of money on a 2.1 PC speaker setup, which of course means two speakers and one subwoofer. The specific speakers that I purchased were Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 PC speakers with THX certification. At the time of purchase, these particular computer speakers were considered to be top of the line, and cost several hundred dollars (close to $300.00!).

The mid-price range
The speakers that I currently own are also my favourite computer speakers that I’ve purchased to date. They were mid-priced, have proven to be durable, and they produce fair sound. Currently using the Logitech Z213 model, purchased several years ago, and they still sound great.

These speakers, which I purchased for around $25.00, for the price and features I don’t need to wake up the neighbours and even my wife and kids! While I’m cooking or doing something else, play music and it’s close to my living room, dinner table or kitchen… so far, so good!

BRANDS:

  • Logitech
  • JBl
  • Altec Lansing
  • Harmon Kardon
  • Bose

    OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

  1. What to look for when choosing modern computer speakers?
  2. Multiple audio input interfaces (optimal for using with different devices)
  3. Bluetooth connectivity (play music from your smartphone or tablet wirelessly!)
  4. Dedicated volume and bass controls (bass can be disruptive to neighbours, so you can level the audio and still play loud music)
  5. Engineering.


Functionality and Device Compatibility
You may want to consider whether or not the speaker is compatible with more than just a PC. For example, there may be times when you want to play music from your smartphone, tablet or even television.

Don’t spend a lot of money on PC speakers…
Unless you have the budget for it or the money to burn. Speakers are less future proof than most tech products, but still, next year, there will be a better or updated version of the speaker that you have.

Consider portability and adaptability
You may be aiming to create a perfect setup for your PC room now, but next year you could move to a different place, home, etc… Sometimes portability and adaptability are things to consider.

More speakers is not always better
While a 5 speaker PC audio setup can assure that you get surround sound, it might not be the best audio experience. Noise coming from different angles is fine, but it also requires optimal distance and speaker placement. Consider the room that you will be placing the speakers in, because a quality 2.1, left and right plus sub-woofer setup may produce better sound for a particular room, and it’s less complex to setup.

Consider the accessories
Most of the extras or accessories that come with PC speakers have nothing to do with actual sound quality, but sometimes it’s convenient to have a remote control for your speakers or other accessories.

Consider Usage
Computers are versatile, so you may use your PC speakers when listening to music, watching Netflix, watching movies online or even gaming. Thus, you may not want complete surround sound when watching a YouTube clip, but you may want surround sound when watching Netflix. Choose a PC speaker setup that is versatile and that will fit multiple uses.
  
More wattage does not always equate to more volume
In many cases it does, but engineering, construction and other design factors are also important to consider when choosing quality PC speakers.

Test before you buy
Everyone has their own audio preferences in terms of highs, mids and bass. People also have music genre preferences. Thus, it may be wise to try out a speaker system you are considering purchasing, before buying. Places like BestBuy and Frys carry a lot of popular PC speakers.



and last but not least!


Consider your Music
Does your music sounds good and clearly on your speakers? In my case, I love Heavy Metal (Thrash, Speed, Black, Power, Glam....etc.) but that means that not always sounds right in all speakers. When I switch to pop music sounds better and has better acoustic in vocals, singers, choruses, etc.


In my previous experience with audio in computers, I always buy COMPUTER SPEAKERS, what I mean is there are speakers like 2, 2.1, 5.1, 7.1, wireless and bluethoot and whatever.

But ask yourself what do you need. Are you looking for a home teather? Wake up the neighbours and piss off your coallegues and your boss at work?

Be focus and search what is for has to be for! For TV buy a particulary speakers, for video conferencing, for audio in saloons and ball rooms are the same…

Those are just a few considerations and tips for choosing quality PC computer speakers. Thank you for stopping by the site for today’s post. If I missed anything or any of our site visitors or subscribers have some additional tips regarding PC speakers, feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!

REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR COMPUTER FAN AND HEATSINK

REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR COMPUTER FAN AND HEATSINK A computer's fan and heatsink are two of its most important components. The primary role of both is to cool down the processor and keep it from overheating. A laptop or notebook does not have to be outside in hot, humid weather to overheat. In fact, even if a computer is kept away from extreme heat altogether, it can still overheat. That is because a computer's processor is responsible for processing information and giving instructions to other components in the computer. A processor can get very busy as a result, especially when it is running multiple programs simultaneously. As a result, it heats up, and if there is nothing to cool it down, it can malfunction and break down, costing the owner hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This is why a good fan and heatsink are necessary. The more demand placed on the processor, the more effective the fan and heatsink must be. This guide identifies five issues...

LET’S TALK ABOUT - NETWORK FORENSICS

LET’S TALK ABOUT - NETWORK FORENSICS BASIC CONCEPT Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics relating to the monitoring and analysis of computer network traffic for the purposes of information gathering, legal evidence, or intrusion detection. Unlike other areas of digital forensics, network investigations deal with volatile and dynamic information. Network traffic is transmitted and then lost, so network forensics is often a pro-active investigation. Network forensics generally has two uses. The first, relating to security, involves monitoring a network for anomalous traffic and identifying intrusions. An attacker might be able to erase all log files on a compromised host; network-based evidence might therefore be the only evidence available for forensic analysis. The second form relates to law enforcement. In this case analysis of captured network traffic can include tasks such as reassembling transferred files, searching for keywor...
