Loud? Can anyone tell me if it has a decent volume level?

It can blow your ears out if you turn it up enough. It also has a Speaker Phone mode that can be pretty loud.

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

I can't tell you the exact DB level at full volume--I don't have a meter. Full volume is reasonably loud--you should be able to hear it quite well across a BIG room. I never turn it all the way up. It is in my bedroom & that would be too loud. I have to turn it off when the TV is on so I can hear the TV better. Otherwise, I keep it on all the time.

As far as how loud it is in DB levels, I'm sorry I can't help you. Maybe Barnett can give you the info.

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

It's not loud at all. The subwoofer is worthless, my 6-inch, full-range speakers blow this box away in both SPL and low-end response. It sounds like it's about 5 watts. After about 65dB, the audio begins to distort beyond pleasantries. It's like a semi-decent personal radio, for a very small room, without much low-end at all. Nearly worthless. I will say it does sound better than the built-in speakers in my cheap 32-inch television, but not by much, just a smidgen better. Just barely better, but not at all louder.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

I don't think it is super loud, but it makes some noise... I have not owned any others of these to have something to compare it to

I've never once felt like "I wish it would get louder"... I've taken it to outdoor get togethers, camping, etc. and it is loud enough to have good background music volume. If you're trying to make the music the focal point of an event, you might want something bigger.

Certainly loud enough (at least for me). I have it at about 2/3 volume when talking on it. (Great piece of kit BTW).

I would give it a chance. I keep mine next to me on my nightstand. It does an amazing job at covering over other loud noises, and the volume control in it can make it really LOUD! I even have a belligerent man in the apartment complex across the street from me who comes out and holds extremely loud conversations at 11pm, 12pm, 1am, ALL THE TIME. I can't even hear him anymore because this machine does such a good job.

Yes the sound is very low. It may be defective as another respondant writes. I only use it with earphones so the low volume is not a problem. But there are enough design problems not to reccomend it

It sounds clear and the volume is average at best. If you are hearing impaired, you should look elsewhere. Hope that helps.

Definitely. It's got some settings that are really crunchy. I think you'd be very happy with it playing that kind of music. Even on just 2-3 it's pretty darn loud. I haven't got it past 5 and it was cranking.

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

The volume is certainly adequate. I haven't tried the microphone, so I can't comment on that feature.

It's nice and decently loud. Hook up a laptop or an itouch to it and start playing music, and it is loud enough to annoy anyone in the vicinity.
