If you like music, you probably will not e satisfied with the sound from the laptop. when playing music, I always rout my sound to some external speakers or player.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

Built in speakers are pretty bad, but there's a 3.5 mm jack so you can get some decent computer speakers to use for 10 or 15 bucks. Picture quality is unmatched for the price, so I think it's worth it.

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop.http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereohttp://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=342666

This laptop can easily replace a desktop computer, but it is heavy! I find the sound quality to be good. You can always plug in speakers to enhance the sound if necessary.

I would say that the sound has average sound quality. It has vibration if that would help.

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

I find the speaker quality to be good. Not Bose quality, but plenty good enough for the average listener.

The speaker works automaticaly with the computers sound program. Just click the sound icon on the bottom right and adjust that way. You should know the quality of the sound and volume of the sound is much better then you will have with your laptop. At least it is that way with my Toshiba.

The SoundPop Bluetooth speaker has superb sound quality. The volume itself depends upon your sending device volume and the unit volume setting. Yes, the sound quality is far better that any laptop could offer, the volume seems better as well - no distortion. However, the range from the sending device is limited to about 25 feet (with no electrical interference). I use it in conjunction with my smart phone outdoors and indoors because of its portability. I recommend it for all music lovers.

They work, but are they good? Depends on your definition of good, I guess. IMO, they are not as good as other HP laptops I've owned, but they work. Use external speakers if you want to listen to music.

Well, it is certainly not a pair of Bose speakers, but for what it is it does well. I love this laptop for its display, and ease of access and use of the keyboard. I like the large shift key which makes it easier for my worn pinkie finger to get to it. I have owned Toshiba, Dell, HP, and Lenovo laptops.

Audio is good for a computer, if you want a deeper better sound speakers would be better.

The speakers are nothing to write home about. You want to get an external set of speakers to get any kind of sound quality but the soundcard is okay!

They sound quite nice actually. For a laptop speaker, I would say it sounds very good.

Very good sound for a laptop; really. Listened to new Arcade Fire live concert via NPR and could enjoy it just fine. Not audiophile quality, but better than I expected. Satellite... of love. Great concert, check it out.
