How large is the battery pack / volume control? It looks quite large in the packaging. Is it annoying or obtrusive due to its size?

The battery pack, with intergrated volume control switch is slightly larger than the batteries themselves. Since the electronics for the volume control is also intergrated into the battery pack, it takes minimal room. I have not found the battery pack causes any annoyance or interference because it clips onto anything like your shirt pocket, collar or an airplane seat belt.

It is quite small. I am extremely pleased with the comfort and operational quality of this headset.

There is a lot of adjustment in the volume and is easily controlled with the volume buttons on the side of the phone, at maximum it is very loud.

This has one of those small mic jacks. ..looks like the size of a headphone jack. I haven't looked in a while tho, the battery's are out again and they are so expensive.

This is a small radio. I would check out YouTube to see it in action. For a small radio, it has very clear full crisp sound. So far, I've used it about ten hours without charging. I bought a second battery for under three bucks on eBay. I will rotate them when one runs out of power. It's not like a boom box. More like a updated fancy transistor radio but with stereo sound.

I didn't notice it being very bulky. Don't expect to yell out audible sentences or anything though, ha!

it's about the size of two AA batteries with one of them being flattened down and it's one of the best players out there in the market for the price I've had mine for over a year and a half and I love it very much. if I needed another one that's the one that I would buy. wish you luck good luck for buying one. I hope that I was able to answer your question

The large battery and also the case cover the speaker. Case has no opening for sound to come out of. Volume needs to be just about turned all the way up.

14inches(not counting the handle, add1/2 inch) by 5.5 by 5.5 inches. Speakers are just under 3 inches for the top 2, and woofer is just under 4 inches. Sound is pleasant but not high fidelity. Rechargable battery lasts about 2.5 hours, sometimes more. Best feature is that it takes 3 AA batteries as an option and will play for 8 plus hours. Has played most every mp3 I have tried but will not play cd quality mp3s (meaning unusually high bitrates). Another great feature is the handle - I carry it around all of the time. I usually lay it down on its back, and I added 4 rubber feet to make that easy. Overall I am happy with it for audio book listening and music in between. Has antenna and FM tuner for fm, and also has a 3.5 aux input for things like mini mp3 players. Hope this info helps.

Thanks for your question. This might be a bit large depending on the backpack. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Soundcast dealer.

I had it in my mail box for 3 months with out changing the battery. No volume control and man is this thing LOUD!

The battery life is honestly 40 hours!! And its waterproof, sandproof, mudproof!! The one big downside was the volume is poor. Unless you are in a quiet room this might not be your speaker. I could not hear it on a boat or on a private plane very well. Volume felt low at the beach. Might have 6 drivers but max volume leaves a lot to be desired.

It is 5" long and 2 1/2 inches high and about 2 inches deep. It does fit in my purse when I travel, but it suddenly starts talking (I have it on voice rather then beep) when a button is pressed by mistake. People pretend not to look at me when it happens--rather funny really. For every day it might get on your nerves, but it's worth it as I never forget my meds unless I forget my reminder.

Speaker is quite loud, I would never have the need to turn it all the way up. Personally, I think it's a great buy. Hope this helps.

I agree with your husband, it is quiet small. OK for travel or back pack, not so much for normal life use.

I plug mine into my Cell phone and find the volume control a nice feature on it. This way I don't have to dig my phone out of my pocket while taking my gloves off. I can just turn it down with my gloves on. It is not too large to get in the way. The sound is smooth when adjusting the volume and does not introduce any noise.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok.If it's not broken don't fix it!

It has decent volume control. Takes about 6 clicks to lower or increase volume significantly. Select and hold up volume button changes volume increase quickly.
