66 powered speakers in our rankings have an optical (TOSLINK) digital input, a common way to feed a TV, game console or streaming box into powered speakers without an analog cable run. The digital signal skips the source device’s own headphone or line-out stage, and the connector carries no ground loop the way some analog cabling can.
A speaker’s rank here reflects its measured audio performance, not the presence of this input. If you want an optical input specifically weighed against sound quality rather than just listed, see our curated best powered speakers with an optical input picks instead. For background on this and other connector types, see powered speaker inputs explained.
This is every match, grouped by size and sorted by measured sound quality.
