Loud and clear enough? Satisfied with purchase? If not, is there one you can recommend?

There are a few things I like about this item but also a few bad points. It does have a very loud and clear playback; it has more options than I need, such as two voicemail boxes, so it is versatile as well as reliable; you can program the password and, theoretically, retrieve messages remotely although I never had to use this feature. But. It does not have battery backup, so I guess you'll loose everything recorded on it plus greeting if power is lost. It does not have a date/time marker option, so you'll never know when any message was left. Lastly, there is no bridging plug arrangement --- in other words, you cannot plug the phone line into this unit and then plug the phone into the unit so the phone is on the same line in parallel --- you have to buy a two-to-one plug to work around this or do without a phone on that line. All in all, I would not buy this unit again. the $15.00 unit that finally broke down and this one replaced had features such as time marker that made it more friendly but was less clear/loud on playback. Next time I'll have to look for a better all-round unit.

YES!! My father used to call me to listen to his messages as he could not hear them. Since I bought this phone for him he has not had to call me a single time! He can change tone, volume, and speed of the message and loves it. I did a great deal of research before buying this answering machine and believe it is the best! And, of course, with Amazon, if it doesn't meet your needs you can return it.

Yes loud and clear enough and especially so for a hard of hearing adult. Easy to operate and read number of messages on screen. Very satisfied with purchase

my husband is profoundly hard of hearing and cannot understand anything recorded. more volume does not help. this machine is loud and clear to me with normal hearing. i wish it would beep when there is a new message or quit blinking when there isn't one because i forget to check the numbers for new messages. otherwise it is excellent.

Hi, I was very satisfied with it and still love it!!! It can be made very loud and clear. I would recommend it. I have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears and this machine worked great :) Hope you like it too.

Loud enough to require you to turn TV or stereo up a bit to hear. Not a big deal

Ebay has good deals... such as Sony SS-CN490, CN290, CN305 etc. I bought CN5000 from sears when they closed their store in Norfolk for just $19 + tax. Speaker has really good sound.. Compare to Polk, Polk has good lows buy Sony has good mids and excellent highs, which we need from center as low is taken care by sub-woofer. Good Luck.M. Kumar

I got Monster Cable Clear Jacket - for about $30 a pair sold through Crutchfield on the Amazon site.Are they the best - best can run into a $1000. So no, they are not the best, but spending more than I did would be overkill IMHOAre they better than what came with the set? Yes. And they were in my view at the right price point for the Onkyo>

I think it has a pretty clear sound. I didn't detect much background noise, if any.

In my opinion the sound is clear. I purchased these speakers so I could have TV sound close to where I sit and not have the TV volume up loud to where it bothers the other rooms. I only use 1 speaker at a time and find the sound great for what I purchased them for. Distance from base is about 18 ft as I use them.

Not stereo capacity, but average clarity for the type of player. I am satisfied with it.

Yes, a decent one. I am very satisfied with the response. Make sure to use the right bud size to direct the sound into your ear canal for a fuller sound field.

Yes, very clear, especially for the size and price. It fits in my iPad bag and the sound is really good, 10times better than the iPad speaker, which isn't bad.

I've no problem with the sound quality with any of the frequencies I've tuned to. In all respects I am happy with my purchase.

yes loud and clear (altho computer voice does mangle the senders name at times!!!)

I have not had any issues with clarity or volume. Sounds are clear (not muffled) and the volume is adjustable.

I'm looking for something like this but I am very funny when it comes to the sound. I need to know if the quality is good. What do you think?

I haven't been able to test it this long. I usually use it about an hour per day and about 2 or 3 times a week. Had it for about a month and haven't even charged yet, still running strong.Now Sound Quality:It's not too shabby, I mean, remember you are paying around $40 so it does have its limits. But for being a single speaker it is pretty clear and can fill a bedroom, bathroom, or living room and it does max out at a decent level with out distorting or crackling too much

Yes definately! Volume is very clear and If you plan on getting one you will not regret it. Honestly sometimes I have to take the whole thing off even when I just have one ear in!

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

Loud enough to hear, but nothing noticeable / distracting. For a small Bluetooth speaker it's fine. Use mine for mountain biking so any vibration would never be noticed.
