The best gaming speakers
Screens, mice, keyboards, and, of course, speakers: all of these form a very important part of the gaming universe. In fact, the latter are especially important for those who play on the computer and prefer to enjoy sound without using headphones for hours. Besides offering a more immersive experience, many models stand out for their modern design, easy installation, and more than sufficient audio quality for both gaming and listening to music or watching movies.
However, not all offer the same performance. Power, sound clarity, or stability on the desk, among others, can make a big difference in daily use. At EL PAÍS Escaparate, we have tested some of the gaming speakers most sold on Amazon and compared them to find out which offer the best experience and which deserves to become our recommended purchase.
Which gaming speakers have we chosen and how have we tested them?
To test several speakers, we selected them among the best sellers, choosing: Trust Gaming GXT 611 Wezz, MarsGaming MS-PRO, Creative Pebble V2, and Hama Sonic LS-206. All promise to improve the gaming experience with quality stereo sound, although there are important differences in aspects such as power, audio quality, or ease of use.
To check which one is really worth it, we used them for several days on a gaming desk taking into account the following aspects:
- Sound quality: audio clarity, bass presence, frequency balance, and overall experience.
- Power and behavior at volume levels: whether the sound remains clean when increasing volume or if distortions, quality loss, or vibrations appeared.
- Ease of installation and use: the connection process and compatibility with different devices.
- Material quality: finishes, case resistance, and overall durability impression after several days of use.
- Performance after several hours of use: we used them during prolonged sessions to check if they heated up, lost sound quality, or had any other operational problems.
- Value for money: we compared features, sound quality, materials, and user experience with the price of each model to determine which offer the most interesting purchase.
Why can you trust me?
I have been in tech journalism for two decades. During this time, I have had the privilege of witnessing how technology advances to make daily life easier and have been able to report it in various media. Although I have lost count of how many products have passed through my hands, I confess that the enthusiasm and feelings remain the same. Laptops, tablets, phones, cameras, activity trackers, smartwatches… I set no limits when choosing a device and making the most of its possibilities as a good technology consumer.
What are the best gaming speakers?
The Trust Gaming GXT 611 Wezz offer an excellent balance between sound quality, design, ease of use, and price. A compact 12 W soundbar with an elongated format and LED lighting, designed to be placed just below the screen without taking up too much space on the desk.
After several weeks of use, they stood out for offering clean and powerful audio for gaming, watching movies, or listening to music, as well as an elongated and modern format that fits perfectly under the monitor without taking up too much desk space. When installing, its plug and play system allows very easy setup, just by connecting them they work.
Special mention to the gaming design with LED lighting that adds a decorative touch without being excessive. Its main weakness is the bass response, somewhat limited when listening to songs with heavy low frequencies. Still, the set is very balanced and, considering its price, they are the best option in the comparison.

- Compact and modern design.
- LED lighting with gaming aesthetics.

Regarding design, they are two speakers in shiny red and black to place on either side of the monitor. They have accessible controls and the possibility to connect headphones and microphone, making them a very complete alternative within their price range.
During tests, they offered stable operation and barely heated up after several hours of use. Only when approaching maximum volume did slight distortion appear, something common in this price range, but it barely affects normal use.

These speakers are recommended for those who prioritize sound quality over gaming features.

Their stereo sound system offers adequate performance for basic tasks. The 3W power is enough to listen to videos or music but falls short if you want high volume or a more immersive experience in games. Also, lacking additional features like surround sound, Bluetooth connection, or inputs for headphones and microphone, they are designed for simpler use.
Easy to install and compact design, they have a hard plastic case that conveys adequate resistance for daily use. Although the cables feel somewhat less robust and maintain stable operation during use, the audio quality loses definition compared to higher-priced alternatives.

- Very competitive price.
- Very easy to install and use.
- Compact and lightweight design.
- Stable on the desk.
To improve

Frequently asked questions about gaming speakers
What should you consider when buying gaming speakers?
Before choosing gaming speakers, it is advisable to look at aspects such as sound quality, power, size, type of connections, and available desk space. It is also worth considering if they include headphone output, accessible controls, or LED lighting, especially if they are part of a gaming setup.
Are gaming speakers better than conventional speakers?
It depends on the intended use. Gaming speakers are usually designed to offer a more immersive sound in video games and often incorporate a more compact design, LED lighting, or connections adapted to the desk. However, if the main goal is to listen to music, some conventional speakers can offer superior audio quality even within the same price range.
How much power do gaming speakers need?
For a medium-sized desk and room, speakers between 5 and 20 W RMS are usually sufficient to enjoy good volume without losing sound quality. Only those who play in large spaces or seek especially powerful audio will need higher power models.
