Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?

I am not tech-savvy at all, and I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post it, but I'm looking for a pair of small decent home speakers for music in the $300 range.

I've heard people on reddit discourage people from buying Beats and Bose but that's the extent of my knowledge! Can someone recommend a pair of speakers to me? Or direct me to the correct subreddit if I'm not in the right place?

Thank you!

your budget is tricky, it’s a grey zone. There are some big quality swings between a 100 and 600 bucks. You would be sent back and fourth at Best Buy between the Magnolia and the soundbars guy.

Elac is a good suggestion and benchmark to compare other speakers to.

You can get high end PC speakers for $300 if that’s your source.

Yes, Beats and Bose and even B&O are not discussed here, for a good reason.

it's safe to say this is good value for $299 at 50% off
