Hi all,

I'm after some computer speakers that are cheap, think < AU$100 (< US$ 67). Located in Australia. What's a good non-Logitech option these days? Or is Logitech really the best option in my specific case? Better to spend as little as possible?

I'm moving into a small room, but with a sit-stand desk as my WFH space. My primary listening is done on headphones. Speakers are as an alternative when I need to share audio with people, or when I'm too sweaty and disgusting. On average, I use speakers 10-20% of the time I listen to audio.

My expectations are:
1) Speakers make sound
2) Speech is intelligible
3) Fits in my space/desk
4) Simple setup
5) Unlikely to break*

Due to the size of my space, and the sit-stand desk, I don't think a subwoofer system will fit. I'm waiting till more stuff gets settled so I can figure out the space. For now assume no sub. I'm not expecting great audio, just want to make sure I am getting the best bang for buck option.
I am willing to buy used if available. No rush.


Cheers!

* I was surprised by how many problems I got from a set of budget Cyber Acoustics speakers

EDIT: I will use the 3.5mm audio out jacks from my PC or laptop. Music wise I listen to everything, but especially rock and orchestral stuff.

If small and cheap, the Creative labs Pebbles will do the job for $20 and they're really compact. Not great bass for music but for the size and price they're ok and look cool.
The UPS stores here use them and they aren't bad.

hmm a retailer nearby is selling these Edifier R1100's for 70 bucks... Probably does not fit my setup, and is more complicated... but these would look awesome haha

I'll give the Pebbles a look the next time I go by the store. Cheers.


Any thoughts on the Audio-Technica AT-SP95?
