Best Computer Speakers for Mac in 2019

Bose Companion 20 speakers are simple and stylish. Their sleek metal exteriors — which have no buttons or knobs — give the speakers a sleek aesthetic that will look great beside your Mac. The control pod can be placed closer to you so that, even if the speakers are some distance away, you can still start, stop, and adjust them conveniently. The control pod also has an AUX input, allowing you to connect your iPhone, iPad, or any other device to play its audio through the Companion 20.

Audioengine A5+ are small in stature, standing slightly taller than a soft drink can, and have a sleek design with no buttons or knobs on the front; that makes them ideal for tight spaces. On the back, they include standard AUX input and USB, so you can connect your computer the way that works best for you. Plus, they can connect to plain old speakers wires so you can use the Audioengine A5+ to play music from your old stereo if you want.

The M-Audio AV42 provides fantastic sound quality at a great price. These speakers have two drivers each, a one-inch driver for treble and a four-inch driver for bass. That gives you enough bass to go without a dedicated sub, while providing clear and crisp high-end tones. There's also an AUX port on the front, making it convenient to play music right from your iPhone or iPad if you so choose.

The Bose Companion 2 Series III gives you the classic well-balanced sound you would expect from Bose speakers for an affordable price. The low-end tones are warm and consistent and never seem to fight with the high-end sounds. Much like Bose's other computer speakers, the Companion 2 is meant to be simple in every way. Controlled by a single volume knob on the front of the right speaker, it's very easy to set up and start using. Plus, they are quite small and compact making them perfect for tight spaces.

If you want the option to go wireless with the sound from your Mac, there is no better bookshelf speaker than the Fluance Ai40. The real beauty of these speakers isn't that they sound amazing out of the box (which they absolutely do); it's the ability to customize their sound to your liking that really sets these speakers apart.

People love the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, and they won't shut up about it. Just take a look at the Amazon reviews, and you'll see what I mean, people love it so much it has become an Amazon's Choice product. Of course, being a 2.1 system does mean the Klipsch ProMedia comes with a dedicated subwoofer, meaning you'll be able to hear all that glorious bass. Plus, the entire system is THX certified, which means you can get that signature THX sound for movies and gaming.

The Z313 system comes with a powered subwoofer and two satellite speakers to deliver 25 watts of total power. That's enough to fill your room and then some. While the full range sounds excellent at normal volumes, the highest of the high-end does fall a bit flat and can get pretty tinny at very high volumes. Fiddling with the equalizer sorts this issue out, however.
