Continue sliding the speaker bar to the right until you can remove it from the monitor completely. Connect another pair of headphones or speakers to the computer as needed.

The speakers offer 2 Watt output and come with a hard shell carrying case. They connect to the netbook via USB. Dell offers the PS511 USB Sound Bar for $34.99.

This model effectively reproduces an speaker bar accessory that Dell has long-produced for its series of monitors, but with a universal mount.
