Best Sound Bar around my budget.

ChaoticChaosx

So my Inland ProHT sound bar just went out all the sudden this morning. No sound just motherboard audio jack or front panel so pretty sure it's the sound bars issue.

 

So need a new one, I can buy another one of these for $20 but seems like i waste due to only have it 2 months.

 

What is the best sound bar I could get for around $50 USD I want a relatively smaller one to sit under my 32" monitor audio isn't to important cause before my new monitor I used the ones built into an Asus VG245H which were fine to me. I use the sound bar to only watch movies, Tv shows, anime etc...not gaming.

You'd have much better results with a small pair of speakers for the same price. Is it possible to go that route in your setup?

It is I guess just desk is quite small with everything else I have on it now like my mic is on the life side of my monitor and then gaming glasses and headset on the other, I suppose I can move my chassis to the side a bit though.

Any recommendations for a pair?

Edifier R19U Compact 2.0 Speakers Powered by USB Supports Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VBXGT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Vg0vEb4FT2EVV

 

Creative Pebble 2.0 USB-Powered Desktop Speakers with Far-Field Drivers and Passive Radiators for Pcs and Laptops (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791H74NT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ap0vEbD1SVGDG

 

The pebbles are super popular and sound great for their price. The R19U pair is convenient if you value only having to connect a single USB cable since it's also powered by USB.

 

If you have an extra 20 or so bucks to add to your budget, the R980T from Edifier would be a huge upgrade in audio over traditional computer speakers:

R980T a little high for me. Saving for the new intel so need all I can.

I'm going with the pebbles, I heard of creative before and nice size for my area and where I wanted them, under my monitor. Thank you!

No problem, I think you'll like the extra stereo separation too with individual speakers since you use them for movies and stuff.
