Monitor mounted speakers?

Got myself a second hand monitor. An MSI G273qf.
It has no inbuilt speakers but does have a 3.5mm stereo output socket.
I use this on a swivel mounted bracket.
I'm after some sort of speaker, mono or stereo - not bothered much, that can plug in to the jack socket and mount on the monitor.
It does not have to be loud. Just for occasional use with speech when I watch the odd youtube video.

Any good ideas, please?
 
What about a soundbar (of your choosing) plus an adapter like a 'mount-it! soundbar mount' which essentially screws in between the bracket and the vesa mount (I'm assuming you're doing it this way) allowing you to have the soundbar underneath the screen....

Another idea is a bit of sticky tape and a small portable speaker...

Supposedly there are some clip on pc speakers but they look pretty rubbish imo.

Thank you Isg1r.
I had a quick shuftie at the sound bar mount you suggested. £40 on the rainforest for the bracket. I'll skip that. (Stingy old git, me).
Sticky tape and a small portable speaker it is then :)

May be you could consider using Bluetooth earbuds? So the audio would remain the same even if you move around, and the dialogue/vocal would typically be clearer than some budget speakers.

Bluetooth earbuds is a great idea, Marine-RX179. Thank you.
I think I will do that.
For the moment though I've ordered a Dell AX510 monitor mounted mini soundbar. They are really intended for Dell monitors but Im sure I'll manage to power it (with a bit of improvisation) and mount it with extra strong double sided sticky fixers to my MSI monitor. It only cost me £9 so it's worth a punt.
I think though, I'll be getting a pair of bluetooth earbuds as well now.
Much appreciated.
