Is the volume on this speaker louder than the internal speakers in a laptop?Want to watch movies on vacation. My husband wears hearing aids.

I use this on a MacBook Pro, and it is so much louder and clearer, with a fuller range than the built in speakers, there is no comparison. It's hard to say if it will be loud enough for your needs.

It is definitely louder than the internal speakers. I purchased this for my mother so that she could listen to music with better quality and volume.

Yes, it is more than adequate. I use the speakers outdoors near the pool area. I purchased this at a discounted price compared to current price.

Yes I purchased now two of these speakers as first were stolen. Yes they are louder and pretty clear. I enjoy using these and hope you do too.

Definitely! Does a pretty good job of creating a surround sound for where it sits, which is mounted on the top behind the screen. It does a pretty good job. I use it all the time on my macbook. And occasionally on my work computer if doing work-at-home.

I found the sound to be adequate if you had the player on your lap or very close. My hearing is not perfect but I do hear normal sound. It would depend on how badly your dad's hearing is impaired.

This was a gift for my grandson. He assures me that the sound quality is excellent, but he was using the internal speaker. I would not see any reason why it would not be satisfactorywith external speakers.

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

I use it inour living room hooked up to a DVD player and the volume is good in our environment. Definately louder than the tiny speackers on an LCD.

It would be louder than standard laptop speakers. The sound doesn't offer much bass, but it stays pretty clear.

It should work well outside with a movie if it's not a quite movie or your not in a loud area, and it's fairly close to you. I actually used mine outside this past weekend (it was music from and iphone), it sounded great. I even used it near a airport and it still sounded pretty good. I've also found the louder the device it's connected to the louder it will be.If you have the option try dual speakers set might be even better (I have yet to try this though but it couldn't hurt)

As long as it is not light outside and you need a different speaker source, the internal speakers are not very loud. It has a regular headphone jack, so finding speakers is simple. I am really happy with this product.

I am interested in knowing the same thing. My father wears hearing aids and still the tv is so loud you can't hear yourself think. I would like to know if I can sit in a room and watch the same program with him, have the tv at a normal level and have him be able to turn his headphones up so he can hear or does the tv itself have to be muted? No one mentions this information in the reviews.

Yes, the speakers are pretty loud. Great sound, not muzzled or anything. Great quality computer, I've owned mine for about a year now and I love it. The only thing I don't love about it? Is Windows 8 ... and I'm use to how Windows 8 works too, it's just too touchy.

I haven't heard any low noise from the monitor's internal speakers. I agree with the other the internal speakers are pretty tiny and don't produce very good sound. I just used some old BostonAcoustics theatre speakers I had laying around.

Speaker is quite loud, I would never have the need to turn it all the way up. Personally, I think it's a great buy. Hope this helps.

Not sure. It is pretty loud itself. You may blow the speakers inside if you do.

there is a volume control on one of the side speakers that is by your head. it will control the sound on the speakers only, not on the tv. So, if you have the tv on for normal hearing, but have someone sitting with the speakers, it will control it so it's louder through the speakers but the tv volume will stay the same.

Only viewing... No Sound. I bough a small speaker at office max for 30 dollars and it works perfectly fine now... Good luck!

I only hear it when the volume is on high. You can adjust the volume on the side of the hearing aid. This hearing aid is much louder than my more expensive hearing aid. I only use it at home.

Well, the volume gets pretty loud, and the speakers are pretty clear. A person with no hearing impairment can hear sound better as well as more of the details you don't hear with standard speakers. Without knowing the degree of impairment, however, I can't give you a definitive answer.
