ASUS has a ridiculous tablet cover that adds 5.1 surround sound

What your tablet lacks isn't NFC or a fingerprint reader. It's a pop-up case that houses six speakers (with subwoofer), and support for 5.1 channel surround sound. Maybe? ASUS says it will output six times the volume of the base tablet, and packs enough power to annoy neighbors for up to six hours. It will go on sale alongside ASUS' new flagship ZenPad 8.0 tablet, but well, does it sound any good? Hopefully following ASUS' press spectacle at Computex 2015, we'll hear for ourselves.
