I needed to upgrade my monitor which was a small ASUS tv I got for like twenty bucks at a best buy in 2014 or so, and as a result had no need for speakers, then after ten years of service it died so I picked up a new monitor, which had inbuilt speakers and they sound bad. I don't know how to describe it beyond both really really muddy and really really far away. I don't have a lot of space on my desk so I bought https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H4T2YPZ because it was cheap and it's exactly the size I need because my desk is small. Knowing nothing about audio, I just assumed this would be fine because I'm not very picky about sound.

Turns out it was much better, but still really really muddy. Does anyone have a suggestion for those of us who would like clearish audio, but have pretty limited desk real estate to be putting a full audio stack on there, preferably under 150$. Eyeballing it, I probably have something like LWH 4x25x3 inches of room to work with.( I have a tiny ikea desk, because I'm lazy)

Creative Pebble 3 are tiny, and sound pretty clear despite their size. They have very little bass, but sound sharp turned up loud. I have them on my work desk (also small like yours) and enjoy them for background music/vids while working. My work music tastes lean toward jazz, classical, and folk/bluegrass - I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re a bass head or need metal (for this I use headphones), but otherwise they’re decent enough considering the size.

Ordered this and it ended up being excellent. Very clear where it needs to be. Thanks!
