How good is the sound on this laptop? Is it a full sound, with decent volume?

It's a computer with the usual speakers. The volume is satisfactory, it has a full range and it can go quite loud. It sounds better when you use a set of head phones, buds work ok, but headset is better. Hope this helps, I really like this new Aspire with the larger screen, and it stays a lot cooler then my old Aspire.

I have listened to music and watched movies etc on this laptop with the privilege of a quiet environment and not quiet environments. With every experience I was and still am satisfied with the sound quality even when listening at maximum volumes. This is a great laptop allround!

The sound is great. We hook it up to old desktop speakers in the garage and sit out on our deck and fire pit area and enjoy the streaming music. Very pleased with the sound system.

When I say they are loud, they are loud. I can't even put them up to 50 without dealing with roommates or other people next door having to tell me to turn it down. I haven't had that happen unless on my game or watching TV. That's just me on the audio quality. I still need to mess with it to see if there's a way, if I wanted to, to change the audio to concert hall or some other kind of audio format option.

The sound is pretty good all around, however, auxiliary speakers are always better.

well, I would say yes, but laptops are just a little quieter, but for me its not loud at all :)

yes, I haven't had any trouble with the sound. You need a USB slot and the plug for the jack to plug into the computer.

I'm not an audiophile, but to me it sounds great... No distortion. It sends all that my small set of "Creative" computer speakers can handle. It's certainly worth a shot for the price, yes?

My NC10SE just arrived a couple of hours ago, and I've been able to test out the speakers. I'd say they're pretty decent for netbooks. They're certainly loud enough for you to hear music or watch a movie. However, you might have a little trouble if your listening to stuff in a loud environment. For that I would suggest headphones. Having read lots of reviews I was expecting awful sound quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, they're not going to be as loud as speakers on full size laptops due to the size limitation of the speakers themselves, but overall I can't say I'm disappointed. I never owned a standard NC10 so I can't do a direct comparison, but I bought this as a replacement for my premium VAIO SZ, which cost around 2000 bucks. The speakers on that system aren't that much better. Hope this helps.

Thanks Kanje, I will keep that in mind. So far the only gripe I have is the lack of volume. If I could do something about that. Might keep ad a work computer only as I got it at a reduced price.

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

It is fair like most laptops. If I wanted to listen to sometime special, I use my Microsoft LifeChat 3000 ear phones. I am hard of hearing so my opinion shouldn't count for much.

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 laptop is fairly quiet general. When doing light tasks like email and MS Office work it is very quiet. It isn't silent but I wouldn't consider it loud as normal office/home noise will easily drown it out. When working on more demanding tasks the cooling fan kicks in and the noise is a bit more noticeable. Really at no point have I thought the noise excessive or distracting.

I *think* I paid ~$50 for it around 4 years ago. It definitely has a good sound, but is only that expensive because Logitech doesn't make it anymore. In fact, I have been unable to find any similar quality USB laptop speaker from other manufacturers. Everything seems to be Bluetooth which doesn't work well with Windows 7.

It's quite loud~ much louder than my previous laptop. I'm not sure about the quality... It's good for me~

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

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.

The sound is good. I wouldn't say excellent, but it is full without shaking the whole house. I bought it because my wife said the old sound system (Bose) was too loud i.e. bass, rumbling

It has a nice full sound, not super loud... Should be fine, it's louder than it's size indicates... Don't expect high volumes

The sound quality isnt bad at all. I actually dont use any external speakers, these seems to be fine. I play a lot of games and dont have a problem with the built in speakers
