What is Reddit's opinion of Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers, 30-Watt RMS Power, Active Near Field Studio Monitors, 2-Way (Black, Pair)?

They're terrible and that guy is an incompetent profiteer who earns money with amazon affiliate links. I can't tell you how many people come here with issues caused by his plain wrong guides, or unsatisfied with their purchase he recommended.

Low end Klipsch speakers sound like a megaphone as soon as you turn up the volume a little.

Our entry level recommendations are in the sticky. For the same price you can get a pair of Micca PB42Xs that are much better.

These speakers are Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers. I got them at the link provided.

I usually use Spotify from my laptop, set at "High Quality". This pairing sounds pretty great to me.

Just a heads up OP, these speakers are only $119 new.

If you lower your price I’m interested.

Hi guys, I just bought a Micca PB42X

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NXAEPDC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

and there seems to be an ambient high pitched squealing sound whenever it's powered on. Do I need to change the wires? Or is this due to it being self powered?

I guess it depends on what you are using the speakers for but bookshelf speakers should generally be much better than a soundbar. These look nice and are well under your budget.

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in here. (having owned A2+s and some more $$ Yamaha studio monitors)

These sound amazing - and for the price, I don't see the point in buying anything else ever again... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NXAEPDC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Went for the JDS and I love it! Exactly the setup I needed. I like the fact it has the switch and the rca output, like you mentioned, but I just want to check one thing before I try this... Can I plug my powered Micca PB42x speakers into that output? I just want to make sure I can use the switch and seamlessly listen through those without damaging them, instead of having to unplug my turntable from the headphone amp and into my speakers every time. Thanks!

I have the recommended PB42X speakers attached to my computer using ther recommended 3.5 mm to RCA cable. However, my audio will randomly cut out on the right side. A small wire wiggle right behind the RCA inputs usually fixes it, but it's finicky.

When I was researching the issue, I found that it may be a short on the speaker inputs and switching the RCA inputs might help. The result of which was the audio randomly going out on the left side (and the audio being flipped).

This all leads me to believe it may be an issue with the cable of some sort. Before I buy a new cable, could this be caused by anything else?

You probably need powered monitors unless you're also adding an integrated amp or receiver. Micca PB42X is my go to for powered monitors in the $100-150 range. If you want to go lower than that others may chime in with options.

Micca PB42x

The powered Miccas are slightly over budget at $120 but are probably worth the stretch. I bought a pair for my brother and he loves them.

So you paid $80 or more for a Bose Soundlink Micro, and you expect to pay $40 to get speakers that can fill up your whole room with sound??? Hope you don't have sound quality expectations.

My recommendation is a little over your budget and you have to get over your Amazon aversion

Want to get a budget subwoofer

I just got this sub's recommended budget speaker (Micca PB42X) and I'm looking to get a cheap subwoofer with it. I'm into bass EDM and loud low-end sound is very important. (I care more about loudness over quality) I'm looking to spend under $100. What would you recommend to go with it?

What are you powering the Micca MB42X with? Or do you have the powered/active PB42X?

Note that I tore out and replaced the amp with the U-Turn Pluto. That's a PHONO PREamp.

Good to hear - a hearing aid will be a better place to put money than better speakers, particularly if you can convince him to consistently wear the thing and keep its calibration updated. FWIW if you're a member, Costco has decent rates for this sort of thing.

However, built-in computer monitor speakers are...typically pretty bad, and for at least one of /u/transam617's recs not present. You might want to consider something like a Micca PB42X or a similar $100~ powered pair of bookshelf monitors - they'll get louder and sound better than the monitor speakers. I wouldn't necessarily put them before a hearing aid, though, if it's a tossup between the two :P

> For the Micca setups, you'll need this to connect directly to a computer: 3.5mm TRS to RCA - use this for connecting (either of) the Micca alternatives directly to a computer.

I'm not sure this is totally correct, it appears the PB42X's have a 3.5mm input jack also, based on the images on the Amazon ad.

Each RGB brand has their own software. It's not a big deal if they're different brands. If they're the same brand, it's kinda cool to be able to control it all through one program. But these are probably the best gaming speakers with RGB. It's a good choice.

So the other thing is, do you think he would care that these are made for gaming? Is he really into music? He might like speakers like these instead if so:

https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC/

Hi,

I realy want to go for the Micca PB42X set up as pc speakers cuz its around the budget i want to spend but i can't find a way to get these in belgium :c any help wil be very much apreciated!

Those are passive, so yes, you'd need a receiver. Looks like they make a powered version, though:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NXAEPDC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?pd_rd_i=B00E7H8GG2&pd_rd_wg=FVzmM&pd_rd_r=29AQB0KJ2V6ZQK66GYCP&pd_rd_w=vyl04&th=1

And of course if she doesn't want to deal with an amp she could get the Micca PB42x powered speakers for around $110. Depending on the TV outputs her husband should be able to plug them directly into the TV.

>Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers With 4-Inch Carbon Fiber Woofer and Silk Dome Tweeter (Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NXAEPDC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_C59nAb0HEQ83G

OR, you could get the Micca PB42X which are those Micca speakers with an amp built in which are right on budget at $100. If you're just going to stick with a 2.0 those are perfect. The MB42X is arguably the best value budget speaker you can get.

I recently purchased my AT-LP 120 and it'll be coming in on Tuesday. I just was wondering what speakers would you reccomend me to buy to go with it? I would prefer to get active speakers and I'm honestly thinking of getting these https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC but I would like more opinions/options from all of you. I wanna make sure it sounds good with a decent pair of speakers.

So if I were to buy a pair of speakers like the Micca PB42X, I would be able to hook them up to the Magni 2 Uber along with my headphones?

Pretty good for the price. If you need something for a compact space these would get the job done. They would be much better than soundsticks or a set of computer speakers from Logitech.

The Micca PB42x provides a much fuller sound for $50 more if you have some extra room in your budget.

Type "powered speakers" into Amazon and you'll get a bunch of options. Something like THESE tend to be popular around here.

Active speakers are totally fine to pair with an LP-120. Since the turntable has a built in phono preamp, if you add active speakers that's an complete setup right there. I don't own them, but the Micca PB42X tend to get recommended here a lot.

Edit: Typo

Honestly, if you're willing to drop the extra $20, these are probably the best bang for your buck. Unless you save up for the Audioengine A2+'s :)

Yeah I'm super excited about it! Quick question, if I want to try and use the SL-7 with a pair of Micca PB42X speakers I already own what would I need? They look like they have phono input, but I'm not sure if I need a phono preamp and an amp or not.

Thanks so much for all the info! This was such a pleasant surprise. I'm trying to figure out if I can use the SL-7 with a pair of Micca PB42X speakers I already own what would I need? They look like they have phono input, but I'm not sure if I need a phono preamp and an amp or not.

Cool, thanks so much for the info! I know next to nothing about turntables. If I want to try and use the SL-7 with a pair of Micca PB42X speakers I already own what would I need? They look like they have phono input, but I'm not sure if I need a phono preamp and an amp or not.

Micca has this set, I think they sound OK but I don't think they have "decent bass". I think they sound like computer speakers.

Audioengine A2+ are respected and people like them, I can't speak from experience.

all speakers need a cord to go to the PC, a power cord and one between the speakers, some a vol knob which adds complexity. I prefer a seperate dac / headphone amp combo running to a big speaker amp and speakers but for super simplicity then a I'd get a pair of powered monitors. https://www.amazon.com/Micca-MB42X-Bookshelf-Speakers-Tweeter/dp/B00NXAEPDC

So would these recommended ones be a good companion for a Chromecast audio? Would probably get 3 pairs for the house. They have aux in, so no amp needed? It seems the recommended cheap amp is out of stock.

https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC/?th=1

The simplest way to get the setup working would be buying some active speakers, such as these. I would not bother with an external pre-amp. Do not use your electric guitar speakers it will sound terrible.

Depends on what kind of multi-room system you are looking for. It's not a bad idea, but it may not be the cheapest or straightforward solution.

Any powered speaker will do. Take a look at the Micca PB42X

You might be better served by just using a Chromecast Audio instead though.

I'm looking to buy a cheaper pair of speakers, I have never really dabbled in this sort of thing so I do not know much to look for. I just want a nice balance of base so its not super grainy and difficult to make out, but not unnoticeable.

Budget range is around $200 AUD with some room to move.

I did see these but really I have no clue what any of the description means. Heck, even an explanation of terms or what to look for could help.

The Micca PB42X listed above is about the price I'm looking for. But it's out of stock now, will it be coming back? If not or "who the fuck knows", is there another good choice in the price range?

Edit: I'm not sure if this matters, but I need to get a headphone amp at some point too.

These are the recommended speakers from up top of this stickied note. They're in your budget and good for a 2.0 setup. You could also get the passive versions and a small amp, up to you.

/r/audiophile recommends these speakers at a similar price point, $120.

Any recommendations between the 2 for PC gaming? The Micca's don't have a subwoofer, but its possible the sound quality may be better.

For speakers look at the Miccas.

You will need RCA between turntable and phono stage and RCA between phono stage and active speakers.

These are some great self-powered monitors. They are built on the MB42X platform but are a bit less expensive in the end, unless you already have a DAC and an amp.

Or just these which are the new active version. I just got them and they're great.

> Micca MB42

Those are standard speakers.

Powered speakers require AC power and will either come with an adapter or have PSU built-in. They will also come with line audio inputs rather than speaker inputs.

The example you show has regular speaker inputs (and nothing else) and thus are unpowered, regular speakers.

Compare the back of the speakers you found with these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NXAEPDC?psc=1

Hey so I went ahead and bought the Micca PB42x Powered Bookshelf Speakers recommended since they fit my price range. Now I'm just wondering what would be the right sub woofer to buy along with it?

Thanks

edit: Also apparently the speakers come without a power supply or wires, I assume the power supply should reflect the subwoofer I choose to pair the speakers with?

Don't get me wrong, games will look better, but many people make it sound like you can only be good at games with a 144hz monitor.

Check out /r/zeos from some really great guides on all things speakers, amps, DACs, and headphones. These self-powered studio monitors are really great and you can buy a decent sub to go with them. They're not particularly cheap, but even crappy logitech 2.1 systems are weirdly expensive.

Getting into vinyl is the last thing you wanna do on a tight budget, I know from experience haha. Be prepared for all your disposable income to be dropped into it. :p

As far as speakers may I suggest these? My buddy got some and they sound pretty damn decent.

I wouldn't even consider a bluetooth speaker for a new permanent setup in a home. Sonos or Chromecast Audio with some bookshelf speakers.

Play 1 is $199, while a CCA and some speakers will save you about $50.

Sonos is great and setup is easy (I have 3). But if you want to save a bit of money, it's possible without sacrificing quality.

Micca PB42X fit your budget (they're powered speakers so you won't need a separate amp) and should outperform any pc speakers at this price point.

The JBLs might not fit but how about the Miccas? They're 9.5" x 5.8"x 6.5", considerably smaller then 12.3" x 10.4" x 14.3" JBLs. You should be able to fit them on your desk quit comfortably.

Micca PB42X might also be an option, they're basically the MB42Xs with a build in amplifier.

Those speakers would be a better option than the computer speakers for a few reasons. However, you would need some kind of amplifier to power them. You can search for micro stereo amps on amazon and find a bunch of different asian made models for $50 or less. They do, however, make a powered version of those same speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1456178349&sr=8-3&keywords=powered+bookshelf

If you really can't swing any more than $100 for speakers you probably would be better off to just buy the cheap computer speakers and use them until you can afford to spend a bit more on something better or get out to a place that sells used gear. Here are a few decent options for under $100. They won't be amazing or give you audiophile sound quality or anything but they will be better than a portable speaker and probably better than logitech computer speakers.... (you can find these all on amazon)

M-Audio AV32 10-Watt Professional Studio Monitor $79 Behringer MS16 Compact Stereo Speaker $79 Samson Studio GT Active Studio Monitors $99 Hercules DJ 4769226 Hercules XPS 2.0 60 DJ SET $76 (i've actually heard these and they are pretty good for small speakers) Alesis M1 Active 320 USB Studio Monitor Speakers $79

Personally, if you can't go out and look for used stuff, want to stick with amazon and can't afford more than $100, i'd buy one of the sets listed above to tide me over until I could save enough for a proper amp and speaker setup.

http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC
These are powered, so you don't need an amp. But like other powered speakers, you will need to plug it into a wall power outlet.
Yes you can connect your laptop to these using a 3.5mm cable.
This came from the sidebar and is well recommended.

Save your $50 and put it toward these: http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

They'll sound much better than many computer speakers and they're quality enough that they'll last you until you can upgrade in a few years.

Under 150, I could go into a couple of options, or I could cut to the chase after doing this research the past couple weeks being in the same exact position as you needing speakers in that same budget. For powered, to be honest, I would go with the Micca PB42x. Same as the highly regarded MB42x, but powered. I had these ordered but decided to go the passive route.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NXAEPDC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=AFKH6OU9WWNFS

The powered speakers market is small as it is, specifically low-budget. Not to mention a lot of it is monitors, which aren't as optimal for vinyl systems (from the very little I've read, unless it's preference).

I would recommend the powered Micca PB42x speakers,

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NXAEPDC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

They are a step up from the ones you posted and come with an amp in them so they are easy to use. Well worth the extra money if you can. Sound amazing.

If your're looking to upgrade from the built in speakers get a pair of Micca PB42X powered speakers to connect to the RCA output of the TV. It's a bit more than your budget but you'll be much happier with them than the sound bar.

BTW: Your post is against the second item on guidelines.

Not really, but for a bit more you can get the Micca PB42X which are the recommended budget speaker set here.

EDIT: I also remember reading somehwere that the M-Audio AV32 were a step down from the previous AV30.

I agree. That's a decent first setup, except for the speakers. Honestly, what kind of sound quality do you think you're going to get out of $29 speakers?

If it were me, I'd just go LP120 --> Micca PB42X and be done with it. Those Micca speakers will be loads better than the Dayton Audio speakers. If you want to upgrade your turntable later down the road you can, but don't chince out on (arguably) the most important component of your hi-fi setup.

Does the tv provide RCA ouput? If you want the least hassle possible then you can go for the Micca PB-42x since it is self powered. That is assuming you aren't forced to place the speakers against a wall since they are rear-ported. With wall placement the Daytons and Lepai you mentioned would do fine.

EDIT: Wow, those Miccas have climbed in price. I purchased them a while back for $100 as a gift for my brother.

EDIT 2: You can also try posting this on r/BudgetAudiophile if you want some more suggestions.

Not just me. RCA is very common in audio, and apparently I am the only on that has a decent pair of headphones that I want to wear. Also things like things like the Micca PB42X take only analog inputs, so it sucks if you want some of those without getting more cable clutter, because you have to use that adapter instead of a 3.5mm.

Since the LP120 already has a built in pre-amp, you do not need to buy another.

You can buy a pair of powered speakers and plug the turntable directly in to them for a super simple setup. These powered speakers are one of the better choices on a budget.

In that case I would suggest these, http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

There not going to shake the apartment, but they should be quite satisfying for background music over drinks or joints, & should bump for nearfield(desktop) use.

These are adequate for a very cheap system, but if I may suggest a slightly more costly but much better alternative. These are pretty much plug and play, you can use the regular aux cable or use the L/R RCA, right now these are actually $20 more than where they are usually priced, but since your buying from Amazon just watch the price and return those cyber acoustics within 30 days and trade up for these.

I actually had the cyber acoustic and upgraded to the Miccas MB42X with a Lepai amp, about the same price as the pb42x, and its a tremendous sound difference.

Check out /r/audiophile and head to the daily purchase thread for similar options. Or just search for cheap setups, with $100 you can get a fairly decent setup that will be much better than the cyber acoustic. Even though its $60 more its so worth it especially if its your primary audio.

I recently bought these and they're pretty good. I don't know much about audio but they sound great.

I'm currently building my first setup and think i've finally decided to bypass a receiver and just use a pre-amp to powered speakers. I'm looking at these on amazon. My decision is based mostly on space restrictions. I need to keep the components to a minimum . . . but i know the majority of redditors here favor a proper receiver with a phono in.

I'm guessing you'd like to keep things simple. You can keep the amount of extra equipment you need down by getting powered speakers. Something like this would be a good start. http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC/

I think these are pretty great for the price. I don't have a ton of experience with extremely high-end audio, but these sound great. I have no regrets about purchasing them. They are the same speakers that /u/Duryn suggested, but with a built in amp.

There are no "good" sounding pc speakers.

http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1426021525&sr=8-5&keywords=micca

These aren't great, but they'll get the job done better than any "PC speaker."

/r/Zeos

You might want to read around there and find something you like.

I'm using the unpowered version of these, but if I was brand new to the whole speaker scene, I might end up getting those powered Miccas..

So I've think I've settled on the Micca PB42X as an entry speaker system, but just wanted to ask a quick question as a complete newbie to this sort of stuff.

First of all, is this a good option? Eschewing the separate amp recommended here is an extra $46 saved, but is doing that fine? And if I ever decided to buy an amp, would I be able to integrate it with these speakers?

[Edit] Additionally, it seems pretty important to get these speakers at ear level height. Is there any recommended speaker stands for these that aren't too terribly expensive? I'm planning to use these as my desktop speakers, if that matters.

I currently do not have any audio equipment and want to get a setup for my computer. Do you guys recommend any existing wireless speaker in the market that I could also use for other purposes?
If you do not recommend any wireless speaker, would you recommend the PB42X instead of the MB42X?
Thanks!

No, those speakers are passive, and therefore need some kind of amplification to get sound. You can hook them up to an amp; receivers have amps in them. Alternative, Micca makes powered speakers as well. If the connections are compatible, you should, generally, be able to hook up a source (phone, etc.) to powered speakers.

The Fiio has an headphone amp, not suited for speakers. But you can use its line out to connect an amp (or actives speakers).

Micca also has an active version of those for $20 more

http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

PB42x by far.

Going to be way better than tiny computer speakers with 2inch full-range drivers and a crappy sub.

I'd point you to separate speakers and amplifier but this is the easiest solution and fits your budget.

There's a PB42X refurb on amazon right now for $75 shipped.

Get it while it's hot: https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

First, do NOT get those speakers or any speakers made by a gaming company. You want to get speakers made by an audio company. That being said, I think the Micca PB42X (Amazon link) would be perfect for you. If you can't find them in France, look for the Micca MB42X (Amazon link). Check out the wiki I have $XXX.XX to spend, what should I buy? BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS on /r/BudgetAudiophile.

> Am I correct to think that this will be a better listening experience than spending around $100 on normal PC speakers?

Yes, a proper pair of speakers is going to sound better than any of the "PC brands" like Logitech or Creative.

$100 is a super tight budget if you want separate components. $120 can get you Micca PB42X, but the passive version is $90 plus a $70 amplifier. I'd personally rather have the separates, but that's quite a bit more than your budget.

This setup from Dayton is all black and in your budget, but unfortunately won't sound nearly as good as the Miccas.

The only thing you can get new for that price will be powered/active speakers. Most speakers are passive, and need an amplifier or AV receiver (which has a built-in amplifier) to power them. The speakers you linked are passive, so even though they are $100, you would have to spend another $100 or so to buy a stereo amplifier for them.

In the $100 powered speaker range you can get something like these or these.

The Micca's are probably a slightly better speaker, but the Edifiers come with a remote which is nice.

Go with Micca MB42X for $90 or the newer Micca PB42X which is only maybe $30 more at $119.

If you want to spend more and have more space, go with JBL LSR305 but they're around $300. You may be able to get them cheaper used on eBay if you look around.

You also want to get a DAC so you will have better audio. Check out the Schiit Modi 2 (Amazon link). Or you could go with the newer DAC/amp combo, the Schiit Fulla 2 which has great reviews.

Always check eBay for deals.

$100 budget is going to limit your search. Here are a couple you might look into:

http://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC
Go on sale for $99 with some regularity.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1042837&gclid=CNi6r_ertMYCFVE9gQodHEYG4g&is=REG&m=Y&Q=&A=details

You will also need a phono stage (preamp) as well. You can go budget with the Behringer PP400 or take a bit of a step up with with the ART DJ Pre II. Another option to look at the the TC Electronics TC-753, which offers the phono stage, as well as an additional input for MP3 player or whatnot.

two solid options at either end of your budget:
micca pb42x $109.99
edifier r1700bt $179.99

edifier has models above and below that price point as well. don't feel like you have to forego features like bluetooth cus those are becoming standard on cheap powered monitors as well.

For just under $300, you can get a 55" TCL 4-series:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-55-class-4-series-led-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6470247.p?skuId=6470247

It is absolutely nothing special, but it will get you a large image while staying within your budget.

This sub would scoff at this suggestion, but any decent TV by this sub's standards starts in the $600 range. This TV will be just fine by most people's standards though.

If you want significantly better audio than the TV's built-in speakers for relatively cheap, consider getting a pair of powered bookshelf speakers:

https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

Micca PB42X. Powered speakers. No amp needed. Fantastic sound for around $110. Have loved mine for nearly three years.

https://www.amazon.com/Micca-PB42X-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B00NXAEPDC

If you must have ANC wireless headphones, go with the AKG N700MC2 over the Sony XM5 every day. Better sound, lower price.

Totally up to you. We could be talking $100 or we could be talking $25,000.

exactly - the PB42x

These are the speakers I have. They're powered and I believe have a preamp in them. They're basically just standard bookshelf speakers.

I was looking at this turntable, which seems to be bluetooth enabled (likely just to send)

Maybe the solution is to just hook up a bluetooth receiver to the speakers, and then pair both my phone and the turntable to that?

I don't like the edifiers, but that's just personal preference. Here are a couple reccomendations:

$120 Micca PB42x no BT

$70 BB powered bookshelf speakers

Micca PB42X

$120.00 and they don't suck
Under budget which leaves room for some extras
Banana Plug Cables - a lttle pricey and you only need the one... Might be a reach
Acoustic Foam Pads - isolating your speakers is underrated

So, yeah, my Micca Fanboy is showing. Anyway all of the above might be available in EU, don't know (saw that a bit late, sorry).

Not as pretty as the the other setups here, but this is my work from home setup. I can be on my work laptop and personal computer both at the same time.

On Desk: work laptop (mac) on left, personal modern performance laptop (black pc) on right.

Red laptop on the side: It's just an old pc from 2013 that's used for downloading and seeding anime torrents. It's the only real use it has.

Under the monitor are switches to toggle peripheral devices. The switches:

- 3 to 1 HDMI switch - to toggle which laptop is connected to the center monitor.

- USB 3.0 switch - to connect my keyboard, mouse, and 2 other USB devices; and then at a push of a button, toggle which laptop those USB devices are connected to.

- aux port switch - to instantly toggle which laptop is playing audio to the external speakers in the back.

The Speakers in the back are the Micca PB42X , which are speakers recommended in the buying guide in /r/Audiophile

I tried to keep things ergonomic: all monitors are adjacent to each other, and are eye level. Keyboard has palm rest, and that keeps my wrists level when typing. the mouse is one of those vertical ones that are supposedly more ergonomic. The chair is a Staples Hyken which I can rest my elbows on while using keyboard / mouse. and my feet are kept on the ground the whole time.
