The subwoofer, which makes the robust bass possible, could be a problem if you don’t have a lot of space. With excellent all-around sound - and particularly impressive bass - music, movies, podcasts and even video calls sound great. When it comes to computer speakers with a subwoofer, Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX are hard to beat. There aren’t any other adjustments you can make to the sound from the speakers. You then tweak the subwoofer level until you achieve the right balance for your room and ears. Klipsch recommends that you set your computer’s system volume to 70% and control the level of sound through the knob on the right satellite. But if your audio source doesn’t have a way to output sound through a 3.5 mm port (or through an adapter to 3.5 mm), the ProMedia 2.1 isn’t for you. There’s another 3.5 mm input on the side. You then connect the wired 3.5 mm input cable to your computer’s headphone output. While not large by subwoofer standards, it still takes up space that you may not have in your home office.

The hardest part of set up for the ProMedia 2.1 will probably be finding a space for the subwoofer. Impressively, they maintained that volume without distorting - something few speakers can manage. At max volume, we measured about 95 decibels. The subwoofer also gave significant resonance to podcasts and video conference calls, making the talking heads easy to understand.Īnd, wow, can these things get loud. When the Harkonnens attack the Atreides in Dune, the explosions had impressive oomph while the ominous music filled the room, showing off the wide sound the system can produce. Movies and games benefit from the 2.1 system, too. The picked guitars on Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again” sounded warm and realistic, as did Lindsey Buckingham’s voice. The quick, throbbing bass pushed the rhythm on The War on Drugs’ “Victim” while the distorted guitars were easy to hear above the mix. The slow, deep beat on Billie Eilish’s “Therefore I Am” sounded rich from the ProMedia’s subwoofer, while her voice was clear coming from the satellites.
