Is it the best soundbar on the market? Well, no, for the price, you should keep your expectations low. But it's also not designed to be. Instead, the Monster S220 is built to pair with desktop setups to enhance gaming audio or boost your tunes while you work. It's pretty small at just 20 inches by 2.4 inches, so it can slip onto your desk seamlessly. You could pair it with your TV, but it won't get as loud as you'd expect from more premium soundbars.

The S220 features a 2.0-channel system with dual 52mm full-range speakers and two bass diaphragms. You can connect it via AUX, USB, TF Card, or Bluetooth, so if you want to transport it from your office to the patio for entertainment purposes, it's no problem.
