When I got these, some of the magnets had fallen out. I glued them back in, but it was an ominous start. This products simply does not work. The two halves of the device do not stick together with enough force to keep your shoe on. They will pop apart every time you flex your foot. I have not tried the name brand version, but avoid these cheap ones.

Dell AS-501 Soundbar
This is a device that attaches to most recent model Dell monitors, and gives them the ability to play sounds. What can I say? It performs its function.
The speaker definitely matches the look of my 2408WFP. It is smaller than it looks (maybe 14 inches across and a little more than an inch tall). It locks into latches on the bottom of your monitor, so if your monitor has height adjustment, it may no longer be possible to make the monitor go quite so low, although this wasn't a problem for me.
The speaker has a 4 or 5 foot cord ending in a headphone jack. It has 2 headphone ports on the speaker so that you and a friend can listen to your computer in private. There is also a volume/power knob. One of the cool things about this speaker is that it turns itself on and off with your monitor. I find this nice, but if you listen to music while your monitor is off, you may not like it at all.
Since it is only a 2W (1W x 2 for stereo) speaker set, it does not get very loud at all. Even at max volume, you will probably struggle to hear it over background conversation. In a quieter room, it will be plenty loud enough. The sound quality is better than laptop speakers, but worse than a real speaker system. There doesn't seem to be any distortion even at full volume (which is not that loud).

Compelling value in a smartwatch!
Extremely compelling for an affordable smartwatch. Doesn't do as much as an Apple watch, but far more than most fitbits.
