I plan to use this to listen to mp3 books while on road trips in a fairly noisy car. Is the volume sufficient for it to be useful for this?

Definitely. The volume can be cranked up pretty well and the sound quality will maintain pretty well out of the speaker

the radio is better than I expected, and it has sufficient volume to compete with a car's radio. I am very happy with it. I recomend also to purchase the battery charger, so you won't be without the radio's service while the battery is being charged, and an extra battery. the battery lasts days of almost continuous use before needing a recharge.

I like this radio a lot, but it is not a high volume radio. In a noisy car, like my old VW Bug, it wouldn't be loud enough. Even in the bathroom, with the shower running, it's barely loud enough.

this is a great radio and I believe it would be oh good quality to listen to your mp3player. you can adjust the volume as loud as you want and it does get loud I would recommend this radio tell anyone

oh yes the volume is more than sufficient. the best feature on this is the sound, more than you'll need.

It does fairly ok with traffic noise if you crank up the volume almost to the max.. It doesn't completely cuff yor ear hole so you might have some interference depending on where you are and who you are with .

If you have the volume set to max then yes its pretty loud having it right behind your ear. Setting the volume down a few clicks did the trick. You and the viewer will still hear it. We took a 5 hour road trip and had no problems.

It's pretty good. I listen to podcasts streaming from my phone and the sound is audible on busy city buses. The range of the device is extremely limited, but that just means you have to keep your phone in a nearby pocket.

The car stereo is louder and more clear perhaps then the phone speaker. In my case I use it with my 10" tablet for playing movies in the van. Works pretty well for this and was about my only option since stereo doesn't have a cassette player or aux in. Can be used with anything not just cell phones.

I do not think so. My daughter uses her earphones when she uses it in the car. Otherwise, I do not see a switch for volume on it. My daughter is in school; I can ask her when she gets home.

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

I just tried it on my Kindle touch and I could barely hear it through my car speakers. It was actually louder when I unhooked it from the inline jack cable.

oh yes, i highly recommend it ! the best way i would use it is to put it in the middle of your seats, inbetween so that the sound will carry thru !! good luck enjoy!

This is a great speaker, it may be too large for use in the car. I keep mine on a shelf in our 5th wheel trailer. You might look for something smaller.

YES Perfectly....that is what I bought mine for ....I use it mostly for audio books ......it amplifies the sound and gives a nice ear feel.

It should be loud enough but depending on the noise on the environment the volume the MP3 is recorded.

sort of. it's not very good, and is low fidelity and in my car the volume is very low

I haven't used it in that capacity, but I've used it in my noise pumper truck. With the windows open, I could hear clearly and be heard easily. I hope that helps. Our truck drivers really like it.

The speaker is certainly loud enough. You may want have something to set it on while playing it at higher volumes, as the bass causes the speaker to move around. I set it on my iPad case, and that dose the trick nicely.

The volume is fine to listen to music, for making/answering calls u need to turn the car volume up.

From what I've read, it's usually better to have a little more power going to a speaker than not enough. Just don't crank the volume all the way up and you should be fine.
