All PC Speakers

The Bottom Line: While we weren't blown away by their sound, the Logitech Z-5s' combination of a simple, clean design, USB connectivity, and some basic remote operation make them a decent value in the sub-$100 PC speaker space.

The Bottom Line: The LaCie USB speakers are too expensive for a niche product that places style over substance. The speakers look fancy and will undoubtedly attract attention...until you actually hear them.
