I used to be just lately in the marketplace for a brand new pair of audio system for my pc. The ones I had had been outdated Logitech ones that most likely value about $25 model new (I bought them used from a buddy) they usually had been dying. I used to be searching for one thing that was comparatively reasonably priced, however had some particular punch to them. I didn’t need them to distort after I turned the quantity on my pc up previous about 30. I discovered the Monoprice DT-3BT 50-Watt audio system for beneath $100! Monoprice was sort sufficient to ship me a pair so I might write this evaluate however the ideas beneath are my very own.
If your finances for pc audio system is $100 or much less, I extremely suggest the DT-3BT. It has a pleasant highly effective sound, has loads of headroom to stop distortion of audio, and has loads of inputs and options. You can join your gadgets by way of Bluetooth, a 3.5mm aux port in the entrance, unbalanced stereo RCA (the crimson and white), or balanced 1/4” TRS connections. My private selection is the RCA since the audio system include a cable that goes from a 3.5mm in your pc and goes into the stereo RCA (white and crimson). You additionally get an aux cable, however then you definitely’re plugging into the entrance and it received’t look as clear. If you intend on utilizing the ¼” connection, you’ll want to produce your individual cables, however possibilities are that you’ve these already if that’s what your objective is.
As I already talked about, the sound is basically good on the DT-3BT. However, it does take slightly work to get there. The bass is basically current and whereas it doesn’t muddy the sounds, it does appear a bit a lot. I discovered that I needed to obtain an EQ software in order that I might greatest handle the audio system in order that they sound full and highly effective with out feeling like I’m going to be punched in the intestine as I sat at my desk. I used to be actually fearful that the bass wouldn’t be nice since the DT-3BT is rated as having a frequency response vary of 75Hz-20kHz whereas most headphones and audio system intention for the 20Hz-20kHz vary, but it surely has confirmed me incorrect.
In addition to sounding nice with minimal effort (working the EQ was not dangerous), the DT-3BT appears incredible. They’re so clear {and professional} trying. My solely criticism about the bodily design is that the pair button for the Bluetooth is positioned on the again of the speaker. This makes the Bluetooth slightly inconvenient to arrange.
The different criticism that I’ve is fairly trivial. I have a tendency to love turning my quantity knob fairly excessive after which utilizing my pc quantity to manage ranges since I can shortly alter issues with my keyboard. I did discover that if I attempted setting the DT-3BT previous about the 12 o’clock mark, then plenty of further noise could be there. It’s not noticeable once you’re listening to one thing, however when you’re not then the noise may be very noticeable at these ranges. That being mentioned, I don’t have a devoted sound card or amplifier so I’m plugging instantly into my motherboard.
I extremely suggest the DT-3BT when you want new audio system. I might even see the case for probably utilizing these in your TV. You will most likely need to alter the EQ on no matter gadget you’re plugging these audio system into, but it surely shouldn’t take an excessive amount of work. For beneath $100, I genuinely query if there’s a greater pair of audio system.
