What about the audio quality for music/movies? Is it good with at least with headphones? It seems the speaker is quite poor.

I am an older fart. And, back in the 60's I had a great uncle that used one of those horns to hear better (a real cow horn of sorts!). The reason I mention this.. if you cup your hand behind the speaker and direct the sound toward your face.. it's different between night and day. Will suffice when no headphones are around! A lot of the tinny-ness is removed. Sometimes simple works. If I can enjoy Yes music this way.. then the sky is the limit.

As with tablets in this category, it will be so so. For headphones, you will probably be better off with 3rd party software. I have power amp and it's great.

Headphones are great with this, either wired or Bluetooth, very comparable to an iPod for me.

I own this tablet and I agree with DigitalGurl, the speaker is LOUD. Music and movies sound great without using my Bluetooth speaker. Of course with my headset the sound is wonderful.

I received the Dell Venue 8 32GB tab a few days ago. The speaker is not "poor". It is very loud compared to some tablets (samsung .. I own three of them). And the sound is excellent when using headphones.

Well for airplane use, the audio bleeds out, i have used them, but i would not recommend them for this sole use, if you want good headphones then get them, just do not turn up the audio to a level that bothers people. Also they work fine with movies, but in my official review I do recommend you use an audio amplifier to get what you paid for out of these headphones.

It's OK to listen to movies.Since it's single-side headset, it's not recommended for movie if you want to fully enjoy the movie.

It sounds clear and the volume is average at best. If you are hearing impaired, you should look elsewhere. Hope that helps.

Hi, I bought this for my daughter and she hasn't complain about it. maybe some people bought the defected ones. I don't know but the thing doesn't sound very good but its not horrible either. Ive heard you can upgrade the speakers but it already sounds loud enough.

It doesn't have a built in speaker. I connect to the audio output with headphones.

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...).

I personally think it's fantastic. Now keep in mind I'm not an audiophile.....but I've listened to it at fairly loud levels and have never heard any distortion. This is, of course, as long as it's plugged in. If you're planning on listening to it with the battery the volume levels go significantly down. I'd say they are ok if you're wanting some background music in a small area but if you're looking to use the speaker as the primary source of attention or in a large area you're definitely going to want it plugged in.

It's pretty loud and clear. If you want to watch movies, series or any AV content, you'll have a great time. Due to the speakers' size, it's more than obvious to say that the low end does not sound too much. I would give these speakers a 10/10 score.

Yes, for me it is excellent. I am loving mine. It does not have quite as much volume as I would like sometimes, but I listen to my music too loud anyway and the sound is good.

I love mine. The volume is pretty good and quite clear--better than giant flatscreens with Clearvoice. There is a jack for headphones which I never use, but I sit pretty close to mine. I sit on chaise lounge & put DVD player on tabletop. The volume isn't very very loud so you may want to splurge and get the next level that is Internet ready & Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up to speakers by wireless. I don't think there's Bluetooth on this model. But I love mine!

The bass is pretty good, though I don't listen to heavy bass music. It does come with a short cord to connect to the standard head phone jack, or you can use the Bluetooth capability. Hope this helps!

Sound is typical for thin LED-LCD, which IMO is pretty bad. You want to hook up external speakers, but can only use the digital coaxial or headphone jack, as there is no digital optical.I thought the picture quality was very good, but mine had a faulty panel. Someone else got a faulty panel too if you read the reviews. Just know that if you order one, you may end up having to exchange it. I ended up ordering a Panasonic, and the first one was perfect. Not need to return it.

The sound is not great, but I barely use that. You can hook it to another speaker or ise earphones. I have not tried another speaker yet.

I found the sound amplitude weak. You don't need headphones but they would certainly help.

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

It has a very weak internal speaker that can be activated during playback, but is useless for listening pleasure. You can get good sound by plugging in headsets or an external amplifier to the "Line Out" receptacle.
