Is this a very loud speaker? Will it play as loud as the beats pill xl and beatbox portable?

Not even close. It has no bass and sounds tinny. If you want a speaker that sounds like a beats pill you aren't going to find it for twenty bucks. Try this, It's inexpensive and has a decent sound. I have one on my bicycle. Etekcity RoverBeats T12 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Enhanced Bass (Grey)

I'm not familiar with the speakers you mention .. The little iLuv sounds better and is louder than my phone alone .. It's $20 ..

I've never once felt like "I wish it would get louder"... I've taken it to outdoor get togethers, camping, etc. and it is loud enough to have good background music volume. If you're trying to make the music the focal point of an event, you might want something bigger.

It is much smaller than the big jambox, slightly larger than the small jambox. I own the Pill and previously owned the small jambox. I think the sound is superior to the small jambox, but I can't comment on the larger jambox. I would imagine the larger speakers of the larger jambox would produce better audio than the Pill. Just depends on your preference - audio or size.

I have played a CD in the portable DV/CD. it sounds fine for me. I don't know if you might want a louder sound, I hear it mainly during the night & don't need a louder sound, that's why I got a portable one. it's what you prefer. the sound is not as loud as some people might want.

Yes, it allows for the remote control of bluetooth devices. You can play/pause, and select the previous/next track. You can also answer and end a call all from the Beats Pill XL. It has its built-in volume control which you can use in addition to the volume control of your bluetooth device. I hope this helps.

I have to agree with Littlm16 answer. But also want to add my two cents into this one. YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS BOOMBOX. Cuz if you pass this up. You will never have another chance to get something this good (This coming from a old-school boombox lover). Every company now is making small little portable bluetooth speaker system and calling them BoomBoxes, which I find very annoying, cuz they really don't 'Boom' at all. Oh! there is one speaker that is kinda close to this one, the Dre BeatBox, i got this for my Dad. The TDK vs the BeatBox, the TDK wins...hands down. :-)

Yes the speaker is very loud for its size. However if you want something loud get the big jambox. But if you want portability with clear and loud sound then get tgr mini jambox, i love mine!

Plenty loud. I bout this because it the loudest portable speaker of this size. I have often attached to my loud Harley for a cheap and easy sound system.

Oh yeah this speaker is plenty loud. I've taken it on car trips myself and it will fill up the whole car, even when NOT on max volume. Really, this portable speaker has the best sound of any like it that I've tried, including the JBL.

late to answer, but I play drums and it is loud enough for me. I also wear ear plugs everytime I play (fyi), I have mine mounted to a boom arm/cymbal arm and its near my right ear (about 2 feet away +/-) and the volume is up all the way. Its built in speaker is loud enough - but then again that would depend on what voice I use. Accent plus the first voice I believe.

Hi Alek, this is the 1st time I've been asked to share my experience with a product. Hope I can help you. Honestly I think the product is great. It is loud enough. But with our heater, humidifier and other environment noises and wanting to hear it two rooms away I sometime desire more volume to listen to lectures without having to move it to another room (just me as I get busy). The impact resistance feature and other great features..I plan on keeping it and using it quite a bit. My husband not really "teched", easily connected this bluetooth to the laptop and I only showed him once. Yes, I would recommend it highly..but if you are looking for mega volume/sound double watts to the 20...and you can handle the huge increase in price...check out the NEW BRAVEN 855s Black/Gray Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Speakerphone & Charger. I'm hoping to get that next when i can afford it and have it centrally located, but then have the Braven BRV-1 to use as well when it's for me personally. I don't think you will be disappointed unless you can desiring big, blasting sound. I'm thrilled with this product.

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

I would say it is loud for the size of the speaker. If you're entertaining 100 people this may not be your best bet for the loudest sound. The Discoball is amazing though! And it comes with a microphone.

While it has a speaker, it is not loud. The speaker will save you if you have no bluetooth device. You will not want to use the speaker as a means to communicate with people as there is no privacy. Get a bluetooth headset and you will be lovin life.

The other replies are not accurate, the bass is VERY lacking for a speaker in this price range. It's "loud" and "clear" but it achieves this by using only mids and highs, no real bass as not to distort the sound quality at high volume. So at average volume you have no bass. If you need a very loud bluetooth speaker this is your guy. However to answer your question, it has very little bass.
