Posted January 19, 2017 I am rocking Logitech Z200s. They're $23. They sound...pretty goood. I am sure nobody will be blown away by the way they sound, but they're just as satisfying as any $100 headphone out there. Just buy these blind-folded if you just want a set of speakers for your desk/room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want something closer to the 100$ mark, then I think the Micca PB42X offers a good value, if you can't find the PB model, then there is the Micca MB42X, but you need a speaker amp for those Before you buy amp and dac.

They get quite loud, have a ton of bottom end and has a remote. Sound quality is pretty good considering the price, and since you can adjust the sub volume, you can tweak the bass level to your room/preference. The downsides are small, but the LCD display is obnoxiously bright; I put electrical tape over it. And the speaker cables are rather short. Depending on your setup though, this may not even matter. If you need more length, you can always buy Female to Male RCA extension cables to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
