Choosing a pair of computer speakers is much akin to choosing a home theater or an audio speaker system if you’re looking at the quality of sound output.

Orb speakers are smaller sized speakers housed in round ball shaped casings of about four inches in diameter.

Portable speakers will have a set of wires connecting the player to each other or they can also be wireless.

Powered active speakers are a little heavier due to the presence of additional circuit boards, components and a power transformer.
