The speakers covered here are specifically computer speakers. If you need surround-sound speakers for a home theater, see our report on home-theater speakers. In addition, you could consider a sound bar -- a one-piece home-theater speaker with virtual surround sound.
Some computer speakers can double as iPod speakers. We mostly cover these in a separate report on iPod speakers. These have a line-in port for connecting an MP3 player, but some have a dedicated iPod dock as well.
