Guide when buying gaming speakers

When you buy speakers for games, it is important to think about the following: sound quality and power, functions and price. There are different types of speakers to suit all budgets and needs .

Features like wireless provide a smooth user experience, while a feature like surround sound gives you an even richer gaming experience and makes it more immersive. The prices of speakers vary and there are cheap small models for the  computer desk  to lavish soundbars and floor-standing speakers.

Let’s take a look at some important things to consider when buying speakers for gaming.

The size of the room

The size of the room you want the speakers in is an important factor when deciding which type of speakers to buy. For larger rooms such as a large living room, more powerful speakers are needed compared to what is needed in a small gaming room.

How powerful and sonically strong a speaker is is determined by several factors, including the size and power of the speakers. More expensive speakers generally have a more powerful and better sound , which is suitable for larger rooms. If you are going to have a pair of speakers for a small room, smaller models are usually fine.

Type of system

There are different types of speaker systems, a classic setup for PC gaming is 2.0 which means you have two speakers at the sides of the screen and no bass.

2.1 is a popular choice for gaming today , it is a setup consisting of two speakers and a bass (subwoofer) , which gives an additional depth to the sound image. Many soundbar packages are also 2.1, as there are two speakers in the soundbar and an associated bass.

If you want a great surround sound when you play, there is, for example, a 5.1 speaker system, with five speakers and a bass. Which gives a fantastically immersive feeling.

Wireless speakers and bass

Wireless connections make it easy and flexible when placing the speakers, while looking neat and tidy. If you want fully or partially wireless speakers, the price tag is slightly higher for these.

Price range for gaming speakers

How much does a pair of good speakers for gaming cost? There are sensible 2.0 systems for a couple of hundred Danish kroner, while the slightly larger and more powerful systems cost a couple of thousand Danish kroner.

With that said, we dive into our best in test!
