External Speakers for Mac Mini M2 Pro

[Mac2004]

I bought a new Mac Mini M2 Pro last year but I need to get some new external speakers for it for my desktop that look nice. I don’t want any large bulky speakers that take up a lot of desk space. Something small but very good quality, highly rated for Macs, and great sound.

I live in an apartment. Should I get Bluetooth or WiFi speakers for the best quality sound??

I'd do USB before Bluetooth or WiFi.

Using the headphone jack ought to work great.

These are highly rated. Are they the proper size?

2 options:
1. A TV Sound bar. With undertable subwoofer or not.
2. 2 TWS Bluetooth speakers connected in pair for stereo sound. High mobility. Just have to charge their batteries.

Wired speakers will give you the best quality sound, and wont only work with specific devices.

What kind of quality sound do you expect for a small speaker in OP requirements?

depends on how much the budget is.

speakers dont have to be large to sound good.

maybe you are confusing 'quality sound' with 'loud'?

These adjectives are all relative, so it’s hard to really know what you’re looking for. Perhaps as a starting point, you can show an example of the size you want, then people can suggest the best quality/sound for that size that they know of?
Also I don’t know what “highly rated for Macs” means. All computer speakers are platform-agnostic as far as I know.

You probably know, but some monitors come with built-in speakers, some with decent sound, so that would be the most space-saving option.

I don’t like wireless computer speakers, personally, because of generally lower quality sound and/or sound delay, added cost, and having to worry about the battery if it’s battery-powered. But if you don’t care about those things, and if it lets you place the speaker farther away in a more ideal spot, then it might be worth it.
