Desktop speakers have usually been associated in the past with poor sound quality. As a desktop user, I find myself (and I’m sure we all do) spending a large amount of time on it, and one of my favourite things I like to do is listen to music while working.  After extensive research for a decent pair of speakers the Bower & Wilkins desktop speakers are easily the best on the market.

First and foremost the design, these look very sleek and attractive. They are in black and a tube-like design, they have an on and off button on the side in a silver sleek panel. They look good on almost any desktop with a single jack cable that goes in the headphone jack of your computer.

Now most important is the sound quality. They deliver a large bass that is noticeable for any song. Now I myself listen to a large amount of hip hop (from the late 80’s era to modern). What I love about the speakers is that they do not put the bass up to an unbearable “fake level” just to get a boom effect - instead these speakers are made so that you get a  “natural” sound (more or less how the artist intended you to hear the track).

The sound at times makes you notice hidden instruments that you may have missed due to poorer speakers of the past. The volume on the speakers can go to insanely high levels to the point in which it sounds amazing, not only are theses desktop speakers but I would recommended them for even for TV speakers or putting outside for a pool party. The sound is clear with no static.
 

Price wise these can come in at a pricey $599AUD and can only be bought here at the Apple stores in Australia, but if you’re serious in audio this is an investment you won’t forget.
