The Hecate G2000 Pro speakers offer surprisingly strong sound in a very small package.
I’ve long been content with the speakers on my PC monitor (an AOC G2490, since you asked) simply due to space and my not wanting to make too much noise whilst gaming. But now that I’ve given the Hecate G2000 Pro speakers a go, I don’t think I can go back to being quite so basic.
Whilst Hecate do offer larger speakers with stronger sound output, these offer surprisingly powerful sound for such a small form factor of 12 x 16 x 12cm apiece. The output is incredibly clear and sharp too, which is somewhat game changing when going from my basic speakers. There’s an inclusion of 7.1 virtual surround sound, which is a nice feature. Whilst I can’t comment on how it would compare to true 7.1, playing games certainly highlighted how much situational awareness I’d been lacking previously.
Obviously you get plenty of connection options, with USB-A and USB-C being fairly standard, alongside the good old fashioned 3.5mm jack. The Bluetooth connection is good too, with little difficulty setting it up. Tapping the power button cycles between which type of input you’ll be using, so you can have a bluetooth connection and a USB connection at the same time whilst being able to change them at a moment’s notice.
I particularly liked the USB option though, as being connected to a PC allows you to make use of the downloadable app to tinker with all sorts of different sound settings. Whilst I won’t claim to have a clue what I’m doing, the inclusion is certainly nice. You can really turn the bass up on these things if you want to.
In addition, you can mess around with RGB lighting options too. The clear sides on the Hecate G2000 Pro show a number of lighting strips that really make them look the part when setup how you want them. You get block colour and rainbow options, along with the really fun heartbeat choice that reacts to sound input. If I had to make a complaint, it’s that I couldn’t find a way to turn down the brightness on them, so that heartbeat mode was a bit overbearing when playing a game, but it’s pretty fun when you’re listening to music and they’re at a greater distance. Other than that, the look of these speakers is fantastic, and they would act as something of a neat centrepiece to a carefully thought out gaming setup.
Whilst certainly not the cheapest on the market, the Hecate G2000 Pro is absolutely fantastic as a small scale PC speaker option. Great sound and an excellent look come together to really elevate a gaming space, and I’m going to be making good use of them for a long time to come.
The Hecate G2000 Pro are available now in white, black, and pink from the Hecate website.
