Computer Speakers for Work

[MartinT]

I have limited desk space and a limited work budget and can play music for the first couple of hours since I get into the office at 6am every morning. Spotify is my friend. However, the small Logitech speakers on my computer have been driving me mad with their nasty tinny sound - it's no wonder, as they're USB powered

So with little money available and no real ability to audition I have plumped for these. I have no idea if they'll be acceptable but they got the best press for around £50.



What do others use for work?

Having my own office and being left on my own most of the time I have slightly more

Started many years ago with an Akai tape deck, Nait 1 and Kans
That has become Pioneer CD player, Chord CPM2600 and Isobariks

Main reason to come to work

Had a look at those too Martin, being site based, I can play music most days in my office. I ended up getting one of these, as the Bluetooth is handy, and it's very portable-

Not the best sound in the world, but not the worst either.

Use these at my desk, swear you were listening to a set of meaty bookshelf speakers.
Really fill the room, clear with bass you can feel.

I picked up a pair of Logitech S-0264B computer speakers for a fiver from a charity shop.
They are the ones with an ABR as well

certainly can't call these tinny,

Grr, if only! I don't have that kind of work environment.

Look good, Gary, but way above my work budget.

Jeez - what the hell is that meant to be, Alan? All I'm getting is a load of gobbledygook, and no image! I think your link must be broken somewhere... Could you fix it please, matey, as it makes the thread look rather untidy? Ta!

It is stereo Martin. Sounds ok for what it is tbh.
