You can use it in wired mode with an auxiliary 3.5mm cable or connect it to your computer via USB. The Logitech Z407 is a compact system with a small subwoofer that doesn't exactly have a premium feel (it's an all-plastic affair and the satellite speakers are quite light), but it's attractive and has some nice features. If you're looking for the better deal in terms of price and specs, you'll want to go with the Arena 7. While there's enough bass to provide decent punch to games, movies and music, don't expect the bass to go that deep or have a ton of kick to it. There's also a companion app for Windows PCs to tweak the sound. You can tilt the speakers to your liking and easily adjust the volume with a knob on the right speaker. The Arena 3 speakers connect to your PC with an analog 3.5mm cable but also feature Bluetooth connectivity for connecting your smartphone or tablet wirelessly. The step-up Arena 7 adds tweeters and a separate sub as well as a lighting element for $100 more, while the line-topping Arena 9 is a full surround system for $550. The speakers may not have premium build quality, but I liked their design and compact size (though not too compact), and I thought they sounded good for a stereo 2.0 system with single drivers. SteelSeries' line of Arena PC gaming speakers is available in three models, starting with the entry-level Arena 3, which retails for around $130.

It's also worth noting that while you can pair your laptop with a portable Bluetooth speaker to augment the sound, the speakers on this list are not battery-powered and come in pairs, so they deliver true stereo sound (and you can also buy PC speakers with separate subwoofers and multiple speakers for a surround-sound setup).

And while some laptop speakers can deliver acceptable sound, external speakers provide a major upgrade in quality and volume. The majority of folks own laptops these days. Plus, they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings and hear the doorbell, kids, pets or any other chaos that may be happening in your home. While desktop speakers may not be quite as immersive-sounding as a pair of noise-canceling headphones, they're still a great way to improve audio quality when you're chatting on video calls, streaming movies or catching up on some online lectures.
