Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers! (sh.itjust.works)

I haven’t bought computer speaker setup in well over a decade, but getting back into gaming, any suggestions?

I ask, due to the fact it looks like the old brands are all over the place in quality these days, like the Logitech G560 Speaker System, whose required software is messy. https://a.co/d/00gehZRS

Which is really making me wish I kept up to date, as Amazons current “recommendations system” can’t be trusted for quality with so many being cheapo speakers and SEO ruining result searches.

Thanks in advance, as I feel like I’ve awaken in a speaker dystopia. 😧

This "Amazon's Choice" is actually really valid, I've had mine for a few years and they perform great

So uh, openback headphones get any interest?

I'm not an audiophile (I listen to different genres of music), but two years ago I wanted new speakers. Genelec was the brand that was recommended to me. Never heard of the brand, never heard them in action before buying. After a few days of test driving a pair, which by the way, this was the most expensive pair of speakers (monitors as they called) I've ever bought, I realized these were by far the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. I don't know if there are far superior brands out there but I don't think I'll ever buy another brand of speakers. Next year, assuming chit stain is kicked out of the WH, and the economy bounces back, I plan to buy another pair for my pole barn which I'm planning to convert into my home gym.
