Does it sound better and louder than laptop speakers?

Depends on the laptop. The volume is definitely louder than most laptops, but it is not a true stereo speaker.

It's not noticeable but it also depends how the music is being played. If you playing from a laptop that has more power then a phone and your connecting headphones on one aide and a speaker powers amp then nope.

Go to xotcpc.com and read the user review of this laptop (N61JQ-A1). She says she bought it for the advertised great sound but was disapointed and had to hook up her Logitech speakers. With the external speakers, she said it was fantastic sound.

NO. A friend had a different speakers from a different manufacture that when he hooked them up to his computer he had it made some noises. He moved the speakers a way from the computer it work excellent. Hope this works for you.

Yes unless your input say a computer is turned up louder than they can compensate for. Over all great eq. For the price.

I don't know. I returned the speaker because of less than desired or expected sound quality.

Just OK, it doesn't get as loud as my HP touchSmart 300 PC internal speakers. The sound is full treble too, so if you bought a sub-woofer maybe you would pass this as acceptable. When turned completely full there is no distortions either but its also not that loud compared to other devices. Hope this answers your questions

I am using it with my desktop computer. I love it! It is so much better than the big bulky old speakers! Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!

In fact, sound is great for a laptop. When it stands on a table, it's full stereo and rich, since sound reflects from the surface on both sides. On laps, it's less loud, but still quite solid.

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

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-stereo

I didn't notice a sound difference. There are other part of my computer that are louder like my external hard drives.

I have not used it as a speaker with my laptop but have connected it to download my music to the micro sd card. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and it plays for a long time before it needs to be recharged. I know it connects to a cell phone that is a fair distance away but I did not see how far away it would still connect. Hope this helps.

There are two connections USB and headphone jack, the more power your device has the louder these speakers sound.

This speaker doubled the volume on my laptop. I don't see why it wouldn't do the same for everybody. Great sound.

It's much better than the internal speakers on a laptop or on an iMac. These are great for the price, but if you want much better sound, then I would go with some Bose add on computer speakers.

yes it works, however, I have gone through 3 sets of wires/jacks that hook up to the laptop due to the connection and wire going bad. The speakers are good and sound great, but this is not ideal for a computer that will be moved around a lot like my laptop. The next set I buy will have Bluetooth capabilities. This set would be better for a desktop computer.
