Some reviewers have complained of the sound quality being mediocre. What are they comparing it to? An uber expensive $300 (or above) system? Be real.

Sound is fine - have other issues - display screen does not display all the letters as to function mode description, and the cd/mp3 player is temperamental with some discs - doesn't play them all well, most and new ones, yes, but not all whereas my cd player in the car does

I use it mainly for playing audio books in a classroom. It works fine. I think, for the price, it's a good deal.

When it comes to any piece of audio equipment. You get what you pay for. This thing works great if your sitting around a campfire and you want some music for 10 people max and they better not be loud people at that. But for the price and what I use it for Id suggest it but if you want good sound you have to fork out the money.

So far, I've only used the radio (primarily AM) on the unit and I've found it to be satisfactory.

If you are not looking for music quality sound you can buy a cheaper device at costco($30). The A26 is much more than you need. But it will work fine.

Yes. But the sound is just not good not bad. Too much bass and sound is lacking details.

High end is definitely exaggerated on these. It borderlines on harsh but could be described as just extremely crisp depending who you ask. I have tinnitus and I've started to realize that the increased high end on these cans are irritating it quite a lot, even at low volumes.

Unless you are into the "image" of your set up, Bose are grossly over-rated and over-priced. There are so many better and less expensive options to consider.

I'm saying the looks. It's solid but not something you should expect to get more than average sound quality from.

the sound quality is pretty good to me. I mean its not a bose system but it's pretty decent.

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?
1432436
no, not really; and the sound is really bad, if we had it to do over knowing what we know now we would not buy it. sorry but that's the way it is, tks for asking.

I purchased a pair of speakers for about $329. They sound as if they cost much more and are cosmetically attractive.

Well, it certainly is no high end audio system. But I think it does quite well for what it is.

The bass is pretty good. Not $100 headphone quality good, but still powerful enough to satisfy.

I'm not agreeing with the $100 price tag but you cannot get a very good 7.1 sound system for 1/4 the price from an audiophiles perspective. A "very good" 7.1 system is going to cost you around $6000-$10,000.

I have no idea. The sound quality is terrible but for $10, that should be expected.

Unfortunately I don't have much information to help because I'm considering the purchase of the same system. Has your impression changed much from the original post? I enjoy classical music but don't know much about different audio outputs and quality differentiators. Is there a better system at a similar price that you know of? Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Probably not. It's a good sound system for the price, but for what it sounds like you want to do, you might want to spend a little extra and get something from the tier above this one.

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.
