The best gaming speakers

polygon.com:

With technology like spatial audio, active noise cancellation, and even haptic feedback, gaming headsets can provide a number of features that the most expensive gaming speakers can’t replicate. However, if your goal is room-filling sound and bone-rattling bass, there’s no effective substitute for a high-quality speaker system.

While purchasing a modestly-sized set of speakers means spending significantly more than what you’d pay for a gaming headset, that extra investment will be immediately noticeable in terms of not just volume but overall sound quality. If you’re looking for an audio solution that can illicit more than a few noise complaints and is equipped with RGB lighting, you might want to consider dropping some extra bucks on a set of gaming speakers.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite models that will fit neatly into any gaming setup or budget, whether you’re looking for a massive 7.1 surround system like the Steelseries Arena 9, or a compact 2.0 system like the Edifier G2000.

If you’re looking for the best possible sound — and money is no object — you’ll want to check out the Razer Nommo V2. The standard model of the Nommo V2 Pro combines excellent sound quality and RGB lighting into a versatile and powerful sound system that’s great for both desktops and consoles.

The Nommo V2 comes packaged with a pair of 3-inch speakers equipped with full-range drivers and RGB lighting built into the back. The speakers tether to each other and terminate in a cube-shaped subwoofer with a 5.5-inch driver. The lighting and sound profiles can be customized using the Razer Synapse desktop application or by pairing a mobile device via Bluetooth and using the Razer Audio app.

The V2 is also designed to be used with the Razer control pod, which comes included with the more expensive Nommo V2 Pro model. By default, this wireless puck-shaped control pod allows you to control the volume of your speakers and change your audio output between different connected devices.
