Save yourself the trouble and buy something a little louder.

First, I wouldn't rate this so low if it didn't say it was specifically for YouTube. I'm trying, like I'm sure others are, to boot-strap a youtube channel and thought this would be a good starting point and a way to save a video I'm working on.

Absolutely abysmal output. The volume of the recorded audio is so low that any attempt to salvage it with software (audacity) makes it distorted worse than a laptop or tablet microphone. It also picks up all manner of ambient noise somehow better than me speaking directly into the microphone core.

Overall, I am very disappointed. I don't know what others on here are using it for and why there are such good reviews, but this is in no way adequate for YouTube narration. I am now forced to buy another mic to save an already behind project. Save yourself the trouble and buy something a little louder.

Know others that have these and swear my them. Mine arrive and sounded terrible at any reasonable volume. Found next size up at local Costco.

I know these speakers are cheap and you get what you pay for but the volume just doesn't go up high enough. I got these for my classroom because I like to show videos and unless everyone is silent or the video itself is really loud, you can barely hear stuff. I should've just spent a little extra and got better ones.

The dynamic range is very limited and the very cheap amplifier can easily overpower the apparently even cheaper speaker. Its only a slight improvement over my iPhone speakers. Not worth it if I have to carry an extra speaker around. It will be going back.

Sounds pretty good at low volume, but crank it up and there is distortion. Plus the maximum volume isn't very loud at all. If you're looking for something that provides decent sound while you're close to it, this is an option, but if you're looking to hear it throughout a room at a good volume, look for a different device.

My problem is that the "touch" sensitive volume controls on the little speakers gets stuck, either too loud or no sound at all.

Oh yeah, you can't do anything to FIX the problem. So, Get a good deal, and then not be able to use them. Ever ask yourself WHY the price deal??? Now you know why!

Looking for an affordable way to boost my iPad's volume to play music but when this useless piece of plastic actually made the volume LESS. I had to unplug it to hear anything. Waste. Of. Money.

The vacuuum is too loud and does not have any suction.  You are better off paying a few more bucks to get something that actually works.

Well, my factory horn was pathetic. It went, A beep. Not that I want a train horn or something like the Titanic but a little more authoritative would be nice.
So, I went from a single anemic factory horn to this pair.
Now my pickup goes, A honk. Not as anemic but not worth the effort to change everything out.
Installing these means you cannot return them because you go through all the effort to pull your grill and wire these in.
They are better than the factory but if your goal is a louder horn these just barely provide that.
I'll stay with them. But I'm not happy.

Volume is lower than that of an iPhone 6+, even with amplifier turned on and turned all the way up. Sound quality is a little bit better than the phone's, but not much. May as well have just tucked the phone itself under my pillow-- I bought this becasue the phone wasn't loud enough! Since I waited too long to return it, will be going to Goodwill virtually unused. Poor design-- you can always turn a too-loud speaker down, but you can't turn a not-loud-enough one up. What a wretched waste!

I gave it two stars instead of one becasue it may be useful for those trying to watch TV quietly in bed, etc.

No very happy with the loudness. I bought this for our repair shop and its not much louder then the phone.

If you want to be constantly distracted while you're playing by the extreme volume levels this effect hits when activated, then this is for you. I just shipped mine back.

It could be a little louder. There are some sounds that are hard to hear. Other than that it's ok.

the  volume controls won't stay on the level you set it to.  The unit turns it self to mute and when you try to turn it up it turns it self back down.

I wish it was louder. Being using the volume control on TV, instead of the sound bar.

The better the speakers the better the sound, get loud enough. If you want better sound you need to spend more money but this does the trick.

If You don't care about being able to listen to your music relatively loud than I recommend these but even with extra power supporting these, they distort at about 3/4 of the maximum volume my stereo will turn up to.
