| SOUND | "...a woofer on the side next to each speaker...loud volume...bass reproduction is decent...mids and highs are strong, even at maximum volume, we do not hear any distortions or overload ...Except for the somewhat muffled bass, the sound is largely convincing."......"MSI has included a great Dynaudio speaker system...give it a very rounded sound output...can get fairly loud..." | "...sound system consisting of two speakers and two subwoofers was quite impressive.""Awesome speakers...It feels so good to hear this baby roar" | ...no problem filling my grandmother's living room with boisterous, precise audio...yielded a warm, deep bass line and crisp snares...I heard the delicate tinkle of a grenade pin before I tossed the deadly munition...screams of horror...were crisp and clear. | "Two 2W tweeters deliver high-frequency audio waves directly towards you, while two large 3W woofers in the chassis deliver superb bass" | "...massive speakers...some of the best-sounding audio in the business...kind of like having a soundbar in your laptop."......"speaker sound quality is quite good, and at just over 80 dB(A) it is plenty loud" | "significant improvement of the sound compared to the predecessor. Besides the bass, the mids and highs have also supposedly improved" |
