Can it get loud? And how deep is the bass? I work for best buy but i can hardly here it compared to the sonos system

This is an audiophile sound bar. Not only does it get way louder than Sonos, it acoustically blows it out of the water. Sonos probably just puts extra juice in their demo or something. I've heard both in different homes and there is no comparison. My brother in law (who bought everything Sonos makes) actually bought two bookshelves to supplement his Sonos bar/sub because it did not perform how he expected.

I wouldn't recommend it for music if you want loud, but I haven't had any issues with movies or TV. I have mine in in our living room and it's perfect. I have a Definitive 5 speaker system in my basement for when I want to really get immersed in a movie though.

Iv found you can get the bass pretty high well low :p and iv had them extremely high volume wile testing tho i leave it in matrix mode due to it sounds clearer and more even wile still getting the surround sound effect.

I never tested to see how loud it could get, but the louder i made it go, the worse it sounded. you should be able to hear it withinn 10-20 ft. w/o any issues; you just might not like what you hear. I purchased it for music; sports or news may be OK.

No. It has nice crisp sound, but this is a small shelf stereo. Plenty loud, but the bass ain't going to shake anything. Strong bass requires speakers with a large woofer, or a sub-woofer. Not a "party" stereo. Great little system for the money, though.

the bass is very good. but the volume isn't up to par, I'd like them to be louder. I've been looking, the Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphone. are loud enough but not sure that is the sound that I'd be looking for. I own a pair of V-Moda m 100's and love them. only if they'd make a bt headphones.

JBL is my babies, go to the best buy upper end section, they have an assortment of brands, you should listen to your own style of music before making decision.

To be honnest they are really really shorts... I've a dual monitor with 1 27" and 1 21". One speaker on extreme left and the other one on extreme right. The sub is under my desk.Cords were not long enought and are proprietary plugs. It looks like PS/2 cable but the sound was awfull with a simple PS/2 cable. I finally cuted the cable of the left speaker and I added some lenght with an alarm cable like this one http://www.china-cablewires.com/images/products/2012031913334607979324w1000h1000uzjaomei/fire-alarm-cables-shielded.jpgBut dont forget that you'll void warranty doing that.And another point, the sound is good BUT there's a constant background noise, so I'm not really happy with that...

Honestly, it's not as "bassey" as the bose systems. It is very clear at loud volumes and the bass DOESN'T become punchy. I have it in my office and it sounds great. If I was willing to be in the $500+ range I would go with the bose, but this is a great system in this price category.

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

Not loud at all! I actually returned it bc it was too quiet. Ended up buying two powered monitor speakers by rokit. 8" woofers. Incredible sound and powerful bass.

Greetings and thanks for your question. I'm not aware of a published review directly comparing the two. My best advice is to by speakers (soundbars) from manufacturers who are speaker specialists rather than those which make everything including TVs and CD players. The Sonos is a truly wonderful sounding bar. Thanks again.

I sit about 7 feet away. I have to turn volume up to around 70. I am definitely going to upgrade to a external speaker set up. Still doing research. I think it will be the Vizio s5451 soundbar system that is suppose to give you full surround because of the rear speakers, or just get one of the Sharps soundbars. What I hear if you want the best in surround than a receiver with a wired option is the way to go, more so if you are in a big room. For now with the volume up high it is adequate but can be better.

Honestly, I haven't taken it to full volume. Never needed to. If you need a TON of sound, a small Bluetooth set won't help you, no matter who makes it. This is for portable situations, not to entertain a bunch of folks for a party or anything like that. If your group is larger than about 6-8 people and/or you have a large space to fill, look to the next level up in size. I.e., bookshelf size stereo.

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

One of the curious aspects of the Bose Technology is how balanced the volume is near and far. Of course if you are right in front of the tower it is louder but get a few feet away and you'll be amazed how comfortable it is....When playing larger venues I use two L1 Type IIs and the one that is further away from me I turn up more than the one I am closer to....hope this helps. I have stood for years in front of floor monitors that just made my ears ring all night after the shows....this is NOT the case with BOSE.....Dr. Bose was a genius. Don't believe me go try one.Moon Dog

Loud isn't always better. It depends on your need. If you need more volume get a headphone amp.

I have it in my dorm room and if i turn it all the way up it is just stupid loud. Its unbearable. And as far as the bass, its just incredible. Really couldnt want anymore from somethig for this price. Compared to the new one this is much better because it is plugged in so the bass is stronger and doesnt have to rely on a battery.
