Best Laptop Speakers to Use in Small Dorm Rooms in 2020

These are like the Rolls Royce of speakers for laptops, delivering the high-quality sound the Bose name is known for in a package that's compact enough for a small room setup. They'll absolutely fill the room with sound. A bonus is the extra AUX input on the back so you can also hook up your phone without detaching from your computer.

Your speakers don't need to stay tethered to your laptop. The Anker SoundCore 2 is a brilliant and affordable wireless speaker boasting impressive audio quality over both Bluetooth and 3.5mm wired connections. It also has a 24-hour battery life for those times you want to take it out with you.

These USB-powered speakers only pack 2.4W, which doesn't sound like a lot but these stylish little speakers from AmazonBasics pack a lot more punch than their tiny size would have you believe. Since they're entirely powered by USB, they're perfect to use with a laptop; not to mention they're also incredibly affordable.

These adorable-looking speakers are tiny enough to take up very little space. They're powered entirely by USB and yet still pack some clever audio tech. The drivers are elevated for enhanced projection and the rear facing passive radiators help add a little bass. They've got their own volume controls too, so you won't have to rely on Windows.

Not taking up much space on your desk, the Exclaim e10 delivers plenty of sound with each speaker sporting two 1.5-inch tweeters and a 3-inch woofer. They look the part, too, though those bases aren't just for style and house the subwoofers. There's also a 3.5mm input to hook up an additional device.

The ultimate space-saver for small rooms — why not just clip a pair of speakers to your laptop lid? They're USB-powered, take audio over a 3.5mm jack, and are small enough that you can just clamp one to each corner of your screen. They're not going to blow you away with sound quality, but it's hard to argue their merits.
