Very good for what they are but a bit pricey

They did exactly what I wanted - adequate sound for listening to podcasts on my very small desk in a very small room without wart wall . I paid around $50 for it, which I think is a bit high, but the sound is decent (not amazing - don't expect an audiophile experience, but exceeded my expectations). The fact that they can be powered from a USB port on my PC is very convenient and they are small with no aggressive branding.

Pros
  • Many will do

  • Some issues

Dell Soundbar Speakers AS501 for Ultrasharp LCD Monitors

The speakers have a terribly muffled sound. I started using them around June 12, 2020 and was disappointed. I couldn't use the speakers before because I had to order an adapter for them. Was disappointed because no adapter was included. You will need to purchase an adapter for these speakers, which can be costly. Adapters cost about $10 or more. When I received the adapters and tried the speakers, the return window was closed.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Speed

Great deal for decent sound.

I used them on a cheap speaker in the Arcade (Raspberry PI) Project case. But they are loud enough and have a decent sound quality. It's 12v which the PI doesn't normally provide so you will need a 12v adapter (not included) or I used a 5v and 12v arcade power supply, a pc power supply will also work for both . A few scratches/dents and dents but I hid them anyway.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Almost ok

The AS501's sound quality is better than the AX510. I bought two used AS501s from Front Source Technologies for the price of a new AX510. One came with broken clips on the back so it wouldn't connect to my Dell monitor, but other than that it worked. However, Front Source Technologies was quick to send out a replacement and I have to say the packaging was extremely good! Sound quality is good, but don't expect Bose-level playback. If you need HIGH volume, they'll get tinny sooner than a 2.1…

Doesn't fit the Dell P2715Q but may be worth those mods

It has better sound quality than the soundbar Dell makes for its P2715Q 4K monitor and is a bargain. The volume rocker on the side is very handy, and when it's connected to a computer, the volume control stays on the desktop. To make it work with this TV I painted it black to match the black frame of the installed monitor. Soundbar under the monitor with strong 3M double-sided tape, place a piece of black tape on the very bright center indicator light and connect the green input connector to…

Great sound for the price but auto mute cannot be disabled

review for Dell V4J8D AE415. I've noticed that many of the reviews are confused with other Dell products. I bought these for my wife for video conferencing and also because she loves listening to music and appreciates aesthetically pleasing things. At $70, they're great for the price. The sound is not audiophile quality. but loud enough for a desktop speaker with accurate sound. The subwoofers in particular are thin and do not exaggerate the bass. In fact, you can hear the bass, but you don't…

Better than expected!

At first I wanted the best selling Pebbles, but after reading these reviews I saw someone recommending them and pulled the trigger because they were available in stock from Revain and cost less than Pebbles. I've had the Bose Companion 2 Series III multimedia speakers for a few years and I wasn't expecting much but I'm very happy with the sound quality and they fit my needs perfectly as I wanted the speakers to fit under the monitor. I've only encountered one problem with them, which I quickly…
