For PC gaming, the “best” speakers depend on what you value most:
- Immersion (bass, impact, room-filling sound)
- Positional feel (left/right separation, soundstage)
- Desk practicality (space, wiring, easy controls)
- Budget value
Quick Picks
- Best overall balance for desk + gaming + music: Edifier M60 Multimedia Speaker Bluetooth 5.3, 66W RMS, Hi-Res Audio & Hi-Res Wireless Audio, LDAC,3″ Mid Bass & 1″ Tweeter, USB-C & Aux Inputs, Compact Desktop Speaker – White
- Best budget gaming pick (small, loud, fun RGB): Edifier G2000 RGB Gaming Speakers, 32W Peak Power, Compact Design for PC/PS4/Desktop, Bluetooth 5.1, 3.5mm AUX, Game/Movie/Music Modes, 12 RGB Lighting Effects – Black
- Best for “big immersion” (subwoofer + effects): Logitech G560 PC Gaming Speaker System with 7.1 DTS:X Ultra Surround Sound, Game based LIGHTSYNC RGB, Two Speakers and Subwoofer, Bluetooth, USB, Immersive Gaming Experience – Black

1) Edifier M60 Multimedia Speaker Bluetooth 5.3, 66W RMS, Hi-Res Audio & Hi-Res Wireless Audio, LDAC,3″ Mid Bass & 1″ Tweeter, USB-C & Aux Inputs, Compact Desktop Speaker – White
Even though it’s not marketed as a “gaming” speaker, it’s one of the best choices for positional feel because it’s a real 2.0 stereo pair. In FPS games, a clean stereo image often helps you read direction better than “virtual surround” effects.
Pros
- Strong stereo imaging for footsteps and directional cues
- Compact footprint for a desk setup
- USB-C + Aux listed (super convenient for PC)
- Good for gaming and music (balanced approach)
Cons
- No dedicated subwoofer included, so you won’t get the deepest rumble
- Best results require decent placement (speaker spacing + toe-in)
Best for: FPS/competitive players who want clean directionality, and anyone who wants one setup for gaming + music.
2) Edifier G2000 RGB Gaming Speakers, 32W Peak Power, Compact Design for PC/PS4/Desktop, Bluetooth 5.1, 3.5mm AUX, Game/Movie/Music Modes, 12 RGB Lighting Effects – Black
This is the “budget gamer desk” pick: compact, stylish, and tuned for gaming vibes with modes + lighting. Great if you want something better than monitor speakers with a fun look.
Pros
- Compact and easy to fit under monitors
- Gaming-focused modes listed (easy one-button tuning)
- RGB lighting effects for a classic gaming setup
- Solid value under $100
Cons
- Virtual effects don’t replace true surround
- Compact speakers can sound strained if you push volume too hard
Best for: budget gaming setups, dorm desks, casual gamers who want a noticeable upgrade + RGB.
3) Logitech G560 PC Gaming Speaker System with 7.1 DTS:X Ultra Surround Sound, Game based LIGHTSYNC RGB, Two Speakers and Subwoofer, Bluetooth, USB, Immersive Gaming Experience – Black
If your goal is immersion, a 2.1 system (speakers + sub) is a big deal. Explosions, engines, and soundtrack bass feel way more physical. The G560 also leans hard into the “gaming ecosystem” with LIGHTSYNC and DTS:X Ultra.
Pros
- Subwoofer brings real impact for immersive games
- RGB integration for gaming setups
- USB + Bluetooth listed for flexible PC use
- Great for single-player, action, and cinematic games
Cons
- More space + more cables on/under the desk
- Virtual surround effects vary game-to-game (some love it, some turn it off)
Best for: immersive single-player gaming, people who want big bass and a full “gaming speaker system.”
4) Razer Leviathan V2: Multi-Driver PC Gaming Soundbar with Subwoofer – THX Spatial Audio – Compact Design – Chroma RGB – Bluetooth 5.2 – for Desktop/Laptop, Smartphones, Tablets & Nintendo Switch
If you don’t want two speakers on the desk, a soundbar-style speaker is a clean solution—especially under a monitor. You still get extra bass via the included subwoofer, plus THX Spatial Audio for a wider presentation.
Pros
- Very clean desk layout: one bar under the monitor + sub
- Subwoofer adds immersion
- Convenient for multi-device use (Bluetooth listed)
- Great for mixed use: gaming + YouTube + music
Cons
- Imaging can be less precise than well-placed left/right speakers
- Soundbar width may not fit all desks/monitor stands
Best for: minimalist desk setups, gamers who want immersion + easy placement.
