Budget and location - $50 but imported tech goods can easily have an increase of $10 or $20 minimum. I'm from Morocco, we do have access to AliExpress but it's too much of a hassle to get anything from there, so not worth it.

How the gear will be used - I recently switched to a desktop which didn't have built-in audio, I'm still questioning to whether to get speakers, a soundcard or headphones tbh.

New or used - New.

Past gear experience - The built-in audio of my laptop is the best one I have experienced in any PC, it's manufactured by Bang & Olufsen. Currently using earphones with my desktop but I would much prefer to switch to speakers.
