I want to listen to music while working out on my exercise bike in the morning but my headphones don’t have enough ventilation so I’ll have to use speakers. I prefer electronic or video game music for working out so good bass is required. I’ll watch some Youtube or movies too although I presume that if it can handle electronic music, it can handle movies, correct?

How about Bluetooth speakers? Like JBL - I really like mine. Stream the music from your phone or laptop.

I have a pair of Sony SSB1000 bookshelf speakers that I am currently using as the main speakers for pretty much all my not-coming-out-of-a-TV entertainment (music, computer, YouTube, etc.), and they’re surprisingly good. They’re 10 years old or so, but I imagine you can find their specs online and identify the current equivalent.
