I'm more interested in clarity than loudness. On simple listening volume, how clear is the music, on a scale of 1-10?

It depends on the quality of media format you are playing. It has best sound quality and clarity playing off of a CD. You can always control the loudness through the equalizer.

Very clear. Even at highest level as long as bass isn't too heavy. I'm actually very pleased with the radio because of this

The music is very clear on the main stereo but the subwoofer doesnt work. I have contacted the seller (just now)

Sound quality is in the ear of the beholder. I think the sound is excellent for the size of of the speakers. Also, you can equalize the sound by choosing other instruments.

Music Off: Not really. You can hear some things through them but it certainly does a good job muffling. Music On (Song playing- ZHU Faded) n: 10% can still hear my keyboard a little. 25% Sounds are gone. Can still almost kinda hear the echo of the keys, but could be my imagination and I'm purposely listening for it. 50% There goes the sound of the neighbors yappy dog walking by the door. 75% Aaaaand there goes boyfriend talking. 100% Good luck hearing yourself speak.

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.

I've listened to music all day for an entire week without problems. The bass isn't nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be. In fact, I even prefer upping the bass with the bass boost option on the FiiO E10K Olympus 2. The treble isn't harsh either -- I found that upping the 8 KHz frequency by an amplitude of 2 is a good idea, while the rest is just fine.

I'm not great at determining sound quality but I have only tried it in full blast once and it was alright. I usually listen in medium level or lower and it had an okay bass to it. The sound is a lot more clear at lower level than a phone speaker in full blast that's for sure.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

It's pretty loud and clear. If you want to watch movies, series or any AV content, you'll have a great time. Due to the speakers' size, it's more than obvious to say that the low end does not sound too much. I would give these speakers a 10/10 score.

It is quite possible that will prove true. I noticed as I began using it again this weekend that I wish it had a bit greater volume. The sound is good. I only wish it would play a bit louder.

yes, speech is pretty clear not garbled even for about 20ft. away, even background music is pretty good

I have not had any problems with quality or volume. It sounds no different than anything else I play on the radio.

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.

10 would be a good guess. In my 12x24 living room , it can sound very loud when turned up.But not as loud as my home stereo.

I listen to just about everything and it sounds good. It also depends on your setup and equipment. I have a 5.1 setup with a good receiver/tuner. Most of my low bass sounds come through my sub-woofer.

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!

That was my main concern but it is very good on the sound. Clear and not where you have to sit and wonder what it said. Also there is a volume switch to adjust the level.

I'm not sure how to attest to the loudness - what to compare it to, but comparing it to others I've had in the past, I do feel this one is louder. If you can think of something for me to compare it to, I'd be glad to do so. As to the eighth notes - yes, it does play them...as well as triplets, and others. I highly recommend this device.
