Mackie CR3-X
Score: 69/100Rankings
The Logitech G560 is a high-power 2.1 gaming speaker system with DTS:X virtual surround and dynamic LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting. It delivers booming sound and extensive customization, though its subwoofer is always on and the lighting can be intense.
The Mackie CR3-X offers a budget-friendly, powered studio-monitor solution with solid mids, high SPL and versatile inputs, but its hiss, boomy bass and build-quality issues limit critical use.
