Manufacturer description

The XKX USB computer soundbar clips directly onto your monitor, freeing the desk space a traditional two-piece speaker set eats up. It connects over a single USB port for both power and audio, so there is no wall wart and no 3.5mm jack hunting behind the tower. Dual ultra-magnetic drivers paired with dual passive radiators handle the low end, giving this compact bar more bass weight than its size suggests. A G-sensor drives adaptive channel switching, so left and right stay correctly oriented whether you clamp the speaker above or below your display. Three touch buttons on the front face…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored XKX Computer Speakers for Desktop PC Monitor using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the accessories category. XKX's accessories lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for accessories of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my monitor or TV?

No. XKX lists monitors, TVs, and projectors as incompatible devices. It is designed for PC, laptop, and desktop computers over USB, and it clamps to a monitor for mounting only, not for audio input.

Does it work with a MacBook that only has USB-C ports?

Yes. A USB-C to USB adapter is included in the box, so it works with USB-C-only devices including recent MacBook, Mac mini, iMac, iPad, Android phones, and tablets.

Do I need a separate power cable or wall adapter?

No. The speaker draws power and audio from one USB connection, so a single port on your computer handles both. Make sure the USB port you use is functioning correctly.

If I clamp it under my monitor, will the stereo channels be reversed?

No. A built-in G-sensor runs adaptive channel switching, which keeps left and right positioned correctly whether the bar is clamped to the top or the bottom of your display.

What do I do if there is no sound after plugging it in?

XKX advises updating your computer sound card's audio driver and checking the audio settings and volume mixer to switch the playback device to the speaker. Verify the USB port itself works as well.
