    ASUS MX279H 27-Inch, Full HD 1920x1080 IPS, Audio by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower HDMI VGA Frameless Monitor

    • Wtf?- Don't expect a super good sound
    • I have a separate very good sound system, therefore, I have not tried the B&O speakers.
    • The sound is quite crisp as well, much better than anything I anticipated for monitor speakers
    • The sound, in my opinion, is satisfactory.
    • I actively listen to music while I work, and the sound is good enough to fill my (small) room
    • Awesome Beautiful monitor, decent sound
    • And it provides great picture and sound.
    • Terrible sound.
    • For music, though, even my non-discerning ears notice that the sound isn't great
    • No distortion at volumes too uncomfortable for desktop use, but suitable to fill an entire large room with smooth sound
    • Design : 5/5Screen : 4/5 (little dark)Sound(speaker) : 1/5 Very Poor
    • the sound is not that great
    • Don't buy this expecting good sound out of the speakers.
    • The sound is on the warm side; bass oriented with a decent midrange, but with the high frequencies quite muted or dull sounding
    • The sound is not great, which is to be expected for built-ins
    • Just bought my 2nd one from the amazon outlet....works great nice price...decent sound....a really big bang for the buck...and I love the look, careful putting it together you can pinch yourself on the hinge
    • The lower bezel does house the speakers on the sides which actually have a decent sound to them as far as monitors
    • The sound of the monitor on the other hand is a bit soft, it is not a sound that can be used as a replacement for your speakers, but it sounds good.
    • A brilliant, crisp monitor with good sound at a reasonable price.
    • The sound is shallow and it sounds like it is being sent out in the opposite direction compared to what you'd expect
    • Crisp video & sound by the audio virtuosos Bang & Olufsen.
    • output very good sound...that was until they stopped working a few months later
    • But for PC, the sound is great
    • My complaint would be that the volume is a little awkward to handle and I haven't been able to set up the sound to work with the computer (might just be me, but my other monitor has great speakers so I honestly haven't tried very hard)
    • the sound is pretty bad (worse than the MPB internal sound)
    • The problem is that the unit developed spontaneous and intermittent buzzing sounds that wouldn't cease despite of everything I tried.
    • Surprisingly good sound too.
    • Love the sound as well
    • The sound is good
    • The sound is fairly good, but my 71 year-old ears probably could not distinguish the difference between $1500 speakers and the speakers in the monitor
    • Also, they have a sound so hollow that music has barely any bass, and I have to turn on closed captions for movies
    • However, after just 45 days and very little use, the speakers sound totally blown (not that they sounded that great to begin with)
    • The speakers included with the monitor sound horrible
    • Great picture, awesome color and decent sound.
    • However, I have to say that the sound is not amazing
    • It has great color, sound, and looks nice on my desk.
    • Screen not as clear as hoped and monitor sound pretty disappointing.
    • The colors are great and the sound is surprisingly good, though I generally use my surround sound or headset
    • The sound is pretty good but the picture is flawless.
    • Nice clean lines, perfect sound, and image is amazing
    • I'll have to spend additional money for a decent external sound source.
    • Sound from these screens are weak.
    • My one complaint is the sound
    • the sound doesn't work
    • The sound is also fantastic, not the thin mono-tone sound of every other monitor out their but sound with a bit of bass and richness
    • The sound on the one I received was completely defective, even with the audio
    • Worst part is that after macbook is awoken from sleep, it takes 3-5 seconds for the monitor to recognize the input, resulting in a loud static popping sound until it connects.
    • I will have Klipsch speak for you since your sounds are not so clear!
    • Great for the price, sound is not good though
    • If you want great sound and
    • The audio controls from the mac do not work on these so I simply turn the sound off when using the monitor with a mac
    • Cons are that I do not buy two of the monitors as well as the internal speaker sound and the slightly wonky, but cool, touch sensitive controls.
    • Great picture and sound
    • Sound from the speakers was surprisingly great
    • The sound and image is good enough for me
    • The sound is still quite powerful for gaming and movies and it will get the job done for most people
    • Nice display, clear sound..
    • The sound is surprisingly decent for how small the cabinet is
    • Great quality and pretty awesome sound, as long as you don't pump the volume all the way
    • good sound!
    • Great picture, Great sound, and a reasonable price
    • Sound is good.
    • The sound is directed out of the sides of the monitor, so it isn't as good as my surround sound gaming speakers that I gave to my husband, but it works
    • Sound is quite good for such tiny speakers so the built in sound saves room by eliminating need for external speakers.
    • The sound is GREAT for what they are Monitor Speaker.3
    • I use it for my playstation 4 and the picture is crystal clear, the sound is great, and the speed is fast enough for any game.
    • other than that i just disable the monitor sound and use my head phone
    • The menu is VERY tricky, the instructions are USELESS, and the sound is exceptionally QUIET
    • i have two of these monitors and they look great and the sound on them is actually really good!
    • Also, if your computer is in sleep mode, reactivating it with the monitor turned on often results in flashes and incredibly unnerving thumping sounds before you see an image?
    • Again, if sound is important to you, please be aware that this monitor does not have a great set of speakers
    • Great display, good sound, easy hook-up, what more do you want!
    • and I really like it, but my concern is the sound, I connected my bose speaker with aux cable, but sounds is not that good, its ok if you sit in front of
    • Even at low volumes its nice and clear sounding, not thin at all.
    • Perfect picture, bad sound
    • The visual quality is very, very sharp and the sound from the speaks is adequate
    • The built-in speakers may not be as nice as some of the expensive ones ($100-$150+) but for being built-in to a slim monitor they put out enough sound and the quality is more than enough that I didn’t need any external speakers
    • The speakers are pretty loud surprisingly and do sound good
    • The Bang & Olufsen speakers built into this monitor are surprisingly loud and full sounding, a rarity for built in speakers!Totally impressed with shipping time, with quality of the picture and the edgeless design makes this monitor feel bigger than 25"
    • Awesome - the sound is very good.
    • Hoped the sound would be better
    • and it looks great!The sound, while nice sounding overall, is a bit muddy for my personal tastes but honestly the audio portion was only a bonus for me personally.
    • Being an Music Producer, its all in the details of the sound, and the monitor itself has a pretty decent sound when compared to other monitor sounds by themselves
    • No it's not stereophile, look-down-your-nose, pretentious quality sound...
    • The sound is great for having built-in speakers
    • The picture is great, the sound is really good, but one must mess with menu selections to adjust the volume
    • For the price this monitor is hard to beat even the onboard Harmon/Kardon speakers offer some good sound for casual video watching.
    • The speakers are better than your average computer monitor, sound is clearer and with thr small sub woofer they give you, it makes the audio quality better
    • Love the picture and the sound is pretty decent for being built in to the monitor.
    • Gorgeous picture, great brightness, decent sound but don't expect the speakers to be quite loud enough.
    • Sound is nice for a monitor with built in speakers
    • The speakers are pretty crappy sounding
    • , the sound was pretty
    • I just wish the sound wasn't so sketchy
    • Anyway, when I finally boosted the sound to max, it was still a bit wimpy, and at max volume it was distorted
    • The monitor has really nice color and the speakers provide nice sound
    • The picture is great, the sound is really good, but one must mess with menu selections to adjust the volume
    • and it looks great!The sound, while nice sounding overall, is a bit muddy for my personal tastes but honestly the audio portion was only a bonus for me personally.
    • Let me start by saying that I love the size of this monitor, butthe sound is a little sketchy
    • The Bang & Olufsen speakers built into this monitor are surprisingly loud and full sounding, a rarity for built in speakers!Totally impressed with shipping time, with quality of the picture and the edgeless design makes this monitor feel bigger than 25"
