SteelSeries Arena 3
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Logitech G560 is a 2.1 PC gaming speaker system delivering 240 W peak power and immersive LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting. Its heavy subwoofer and older Bluetooth 4.1 limit flexibility. Ideal for desk-bound gamers who prioritize powerful sound and visual effects.
The SteelSeries Arena 3 is a 2.0 Bluetooth gaming speaker pair featuring 4-inch drivers, RGB lighting, and extensive software EQ customization. Its larger size and need for an external power adapter may not suit minimalist setups, and it lacks a subwoofer for deep bass. It targets gamers and desktop users who want powerful, customizable sound with visual flair.
