Best 2025 Monitors for built-in speakers

#1

The integrated five-speaker system is a major advantage over ordinary monitor audio. It can eliminate separate desktop speakers for everyday entertainment and music.

#2

The integrated speakers are surprisingly full and loud for a productivity monitor, suitable for calls and videos without separate desktop audio.

#3

The two integrated speakers are unusually usable for a budget monitor, particularly for meetings and YouTube, although they cannot replace dedicated audio gear.

#4

Built-in speakers save space and can handle calls or background videos. Their presence is welcome, but they are not meant to replace good external speakers.

#5

#8

No speakers are provided. Some consider this a regrettable omission, while others see it as acceptable for a gaming monitor used with external audio.

#9

The 5W speakers can get loud and punchy enough for casual videos, but sound quality is divisive and not a substitute for dedicated audio.

#10

Speaker quality is inconsistent across reviews. Some found the 5W pair surprisingly clear and usable, while others called them weak or even terrible, so demanding listeners should not count on...
