Looking for a great set of computer speakers that still sound awesome? You can grab a pair of the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor desktop speakers in either black or white from Amazon for just $250, a $100 discount from their usual price. They’re a perfect pick for aspiring music producers, audiophiles, or anyone who just wants a premium audio experience while scrolling YouTube videos.
One thing that both our computer speaker reviewer and audio expert agree on is that these speakers sound awesome, particularly for their size and power. Because they’re intended to work as studio monitors, they have a nice flat midrange that makes it easier to mix or balance, bold bass response, and detailed high-end for getting those little details dialed in. They sound great for just sitting back and listening to music or watching a movie, too, but anyone working on production audio or video might appreciate them more than your average PC gamer.
While they sport both RCA and 3.5-mm TRS inputs for your desktop connections, they also have Bluetooth in case you’d like to hook up your phone for some jams, or even a turntable that has its own phono preamp. The included stands point them up right at your face, and they’re tuned for near field listening, so they’re perfectly setup for sitting at your computer and getting audio work done. If you’ve got a more dedicated setup, there are 3/8-inch 16-threaded inserts on the bottom of each, so you can mount them to dedicated mic stands for even better positioning.
While the audio capabilities impressed us universally, there are some usability concerns for everyday users that might give you some pause. The onboard controls are all stashed around the back of the left speaker, so you may need to reach a bit depending on where you mount them. These do include a set of three equalizer switches, in case you need to really dial in the audio levels, which is a nice touch for desktop speakers that don’t usually include any kind of EQ.
If you can manage those concerns, we think you’ll be really impressed by the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitors, and the $100 discount makes the deal even sweeter. Amazon has both colors, black and white, on sale for just $250, or you can check out our guides to computer speakers and standalone bookshelf speakers for other options.
