I just tested these amazing desktop speakers — and they're perfect for your desk

Kanto Ora4 speakers.

When I’m sitting at my desk, staring at buying guides and fiddling around with Bluetooth settings to work out when something won’t connect to my MacBook (hot tip: make sure you’ve turned on pairing mode), there’s nothing I like more than listening to some music. Sometimes, though, I don’t want to use my headphones, and I want to keep my head free of tangling wires or heavy headsets. That’s where desktop speakers like these, the Kanto Ora4, come in.

I also like to play my own music at my desk, and then mix it (very amateurishly, might I add), and I want something with a balanced sound profile to get a good idea of what the finished project might sound like. The Kanto Ora4 aren’t just listening speakers but studio monitors, capable of playing my mixes with a neutral sound so that any one part isn’t accentuated. There’s more to them of course, but they’ve already booked themselves a place in our best computer speakers list. Let’s find out why.
