The Logitech Z407 is the best-value 2.1 desktop system, delivering powerful, rumbling bass and warm, room-filling sound for around $80 alongside Bluetooth, USB and aux inputs. Its standout feature is a wireless control dial that adjusts volume and bass from across the room. The satellites are basic and the dial takes getting used to, but reviewers repeatedly rank it among the best computer speakers you can buy, making it the smart-value pick here.
