One thing I discovered is you have an equalizer built in on this set for the sound, which offers quite a bit more sound quality selections which I really liked, as its taking some getting used to with the speaker placement on this tv being under the screen.

I have owned several different speakers and I must admit that I am somewhat of an audiophile. I have had these speakers for 3 days now and I can say that they are decent for their price. To answer your question in regards to bass, it is just okay, nothing extraordinary. Again, it's still good for its price, but just not quite there for me. What I mean there is that the speakers and sub do not pick up on ALL lows, they are not full spectrum and will miss certain lows, and therefore miss certain bass at those frequencies. Also, at higher volume, above medium, you can hear distortion in the bass as well. If you pump the bass up to max and then crank up the volume, you will start to see the negative side of these speakers. I would still recommend these speakers for the price, they are perfectly fine for watching shows/movies and playing games...just not listening to music at high volume.

The bass isn't that great, just okay. If you want good bass.. here's a simple solution... go to your local pawn shop and buy a powered subwoofer (the ones that connect to a reciever sound system) and connect it to the control unit. That's what I did and it sounds great. Cheaper than buying a receiver, subwoofer and speakers.

as best as I can tell... no. What I hear when talking to people seems the same with the case or without. People seem to hear me the same too. Can't say with regards to external speakers. I normally hook it up to a small speaker set when playing music. Hope that helps!

The sound is somewhat muted through the sheild but you can still hear it. You can use external speakers

Hi. The sound is ok but at higher volumes dialogue tends to sound garbled. I have some hearing loss myself and I prefer to use headphones when I'm using the unit. If you're viewing with a friend a pair of headphones can be used by getting a cheap splitter available at any electronics store. It may even have come with one - I don't remember. Cannot beat the picture quality and sturdiness though.

the external speaker does lose some of its volume with the extended battery/case. If you listen to music/use speakerphone a lot I would recommend headphones. Clarity may have suffered a little but it wasn't very noticeable to me.

Hi! Speaker is not the selling point...just display. You may want to get an external speaker wired or bluetooth.

This is a bad little speaker! Totally worth the money, and, really convenient. There's a connector that you can purchase for about three dollars to hook into the laptop. Or you could try finding a cord with different sizes on each end. I recommend just getting the little converter, though. Its cheap and useful for more than just this one task. Good luck, toi toi, break a leg (whatever your tradition may be)

Yes the sound is very low. It may be defective as another respondant writes. I only use it with earphones so the low volume is not a problem. But there are enough design problems not to reccomend it

Yes. The built in speaker it comes with is ok, but mine sounds great with external speakers.

I'll add my $0.02. The sound isn't great and it's not loud enough. However, I found using headphones takes the sound quality from a 2 to a 10+. You could also purchase a small usb plug speaker.

I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and the sound is OK, nothing spectacular. You should be able to hear it though; so you may consider sending it back. Knowing that the sound volume isn't so great, I already had a small bluetooth speaker that I connected to this TV/DVD player and it soinds fantastic. I used a straight wire to hook up the external speaker because this player doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. You can purchase on of these speakers from Amazon at a very reasonable price, around $30. It is very small and will make a big difference in the sound performance.

Well, it has a tiny little speaker on the front panel but (even though I am very hard of hearing) the sound quality stinks. I wouldn't recommend using it without earphones except to check that your earphones are working.

I own this unit, as you say it looks great but sound quality is not good, i am confortable with it as i can hear all my records and connect a dive through the aux input... Its sound quality is better than others speakers but im aware that it is not the best... Sometimes bass and low tones make the speakers vibrate, and as it doesn't has EQ the only way to fix this is lowering the volume untill its ok or lowering your device volume... This happens also while litsening LP's, CD'S , radio

The speaker is pretty good. As with all bluetooth technologies if you plug it in directly to your device the sound quality will be hire. I have other speakers at the same price but I like this one the best. The sound quality is good and completely worth the money.

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.
