I only use the speakers of my old laptop. I can barely hear them. I only need a descent pair of stereo speakers that won't break after a month. Preferably $100 or less.
There's a review of a number of speaker solutions here ( http://heavy.com/tech/2015/08/top-best-cheap-2-1-computer-pc-speakers-subwoofer/ ). I'd recommend the Logitech Z623 for price and performance. I also recommend getting 2.1 (subwoofer) as opposed to just two speakers so you can enjoy the bass however you like.
