The best gaming speakers of 2025: Expert tested from SteelSeries and more


I teamed up with other ZDNET experts to test the best gaming speakers, from SteelSeries to Logitech, to help you level up your setup without breaking your budget.

Whether you're diving into long campaign sessions or relaxing with open-world exploration, the right audio setup lets you enjoy game soundtracks, dialogue, and effects in full detail, no sweaty headphones required. The dual speakers and dedicated subwoofer offer up to 240 watts of peak power, producing up to 97 decibels of volume so you can feel and hear deep bass tones and clear mid and high notes. While the majority are made for use exclusively with PCs and laptops, some offer compatibility with Android and iOS mobile devices, game consoles like the PS5 or Nintendo Switch, and even alternative PC operating systems like Linux and MacOS.
