End of terrible monitor sound. Well-rated two-way speakers now cost under 1,500 CZK

Sound from a monitor or cheap plastic speakers is one of those things you get used to and then wonder why you put up with it for so long. You can now buy YENKEE YSP 2025 with code ALZADNY15 for 1,444 CZK instead of 1,699 CZK – and with 145 ratings and an average of 4.4 out of 5, it’s one of the best-proven pieces in this category.

👍 Get them if you want proper sound for your desk and appreciate that the speakers can also handle music from your phone or directly from a flash drive.
🤔 Hesitate if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy genres – this is a 2.0 system without a subwoofer, and the bass starts at 60 Hz.
💰 Price: 1,444 CZK for 40W stereo with Bluetooth, USB, SD slot, and IPX4 rating.

Forty watts and two-way design are more than enough for a desk

The two-way design is key: each speaker has a separate driver for bass and mid-tones and another for treble. Cheap single-way speakers have to handle everything with one driver, which you hear as flat and muffled sound – here you get a significantly clearer rendition with a frequency range of 60 to 20,000 Hz. The 40 W power is more than enough for a room, and mains power means you don’t have to rely on your computer’s USB port.

Versatility is the second big plus here. You can connect them with a classic 3.5mm jack to your computer, via Bluetooth 5.0 to your phone, or directly insert a USB flash drive or SD card, and they’ll play music even without a computer. On the back, you’ll also find jack and RCA outputs for connecting another device, and the IPX4 rating against splashing water is also surprising – a rarity for desktop speakers, which you’ll appreciate especially where a glass might occasionally spill.

Where are the limits

The main limit is physical: a 2.0 system without a subwoofer and bass starting at 60 Hz means you won’t find the deepest tones here. For music, movies, and games, this is perfectly adequate, but anyone who listens to electronic music or hip-hop and wants to feel the bass in their chest should consider a 2.1 setup with a separate bass speaker.

Also, consider the dimensions of 11.5 × 18.5 centimeters per speaker and a total weight of 2.5 kg – it’s a relatively large piece for a small desk with a laptop. Only AAC and SBC codecs are available, meaning no aptX or LDAC for lossless transmission, but this doesn’t really matter for computer speakers, as you’ll mostly connect them with a cable anyway. For 1,444 CZK, this is one of the best sound improvements you can make for your computer at this price – and 145 ratings prove it’s no coincidence.

Do you listen to your computer with headphones, or do you have speakers on your desk?
