I'm not a good at hardware questions and often bought stuff and that seemed useful in the description but turned out to be less than optimal.
Recently, my old PC-Speakers started humming quite audibly when connected to the power, louder than the desktop fans. So I guess it's time to replace.
I browsed shop sites and found that USB speakers are generally cheaper and come without the subwoofer (or whatever the box is called), taking less room and not using up a power socket. But most of the descriptions only mention mobile use and I never had any experience with them.
I'm not an audiophile and just need some basic sound for YouTube, games etc. Is it worth getting myself a pair of USB speakers for my desktop or is that a rather bad idea?
