How is the quality of the built in speaker, is it loud enough from 3-5 feet away? Is the sound quality ok?

The whole unit is trash it didn't work properly after the first couple days. You are better off going with a tview brand honestly

The built in speakers are very good. I have found that the IR wireless ones are better for me for two reasons. 1) the privacy of stereo sound is superb and I don't bother anyone else, and 2) when my grandkids are using them, I don't have to listen to MEGAMIND for 8 solid hours as they replay it over and over and over while I'm trying to drive. Stop the insanity. It's not spoiling the kids, it's spoiling you. Don't you deserve to relax while you drive? As long as they're listening to it, they're not begging for every McDonald's they see on the billboards. Spend the extra few bucks per child and they won't do to you what you did to your parents.

The sound quality is ok but the actual player is really not very good. I had to have it repaired 2 times in 2 years (1 in warranty and the other outside warranty) and it still acts up. I have given up on this player after 2.5 years. Their tech support is horrible and unorganized. I would be very careful buying this product.

The built-in speakers are surprisingly good quality. That said, I wouldn't recommend blasting the volume. I don't think I've turned the knob more than 75%, but haven't had any problems at all with sound. You can attach your own speakers, but you'll need a small amplifier.

The sound output is not that great by itself. I connect mine to a JAM portable speaker which allows me to adjust the volume sound to what I want. If you want the sound output tol be heard by a large group, you will need to find an external speaker to your liking.

Speaker quality is good. Volume is also fine. Sorry this is so late! We love ours.

It should work well outside with a movie if it's not a quite movie or your not in a loud area, and it's fairly close to you. I actually used mine outside this past weekend (it was music from and iphone), it sounded great. I even used it near a airport and it still sounded pretty good. I've also found the louder the device it's connected to the louder it will be.If you have the option try dual speakers set might be even better (I have yet to try this though but it couldn't hurt)

The speaker is definitely louder than a typical speaker setup on a laptop or tablet, but there is no volume control on it. That being said, the sound is very clear. Depending on how loud everything else may be, this might do the trick. I use mine with my tablet (iPad) in my backyard near the air conditioner, and I have no problems hearing everything.

Certainly loud enough (at least for me). I have it at about 2/3 volume when talking on it. (Great piece of kit BTW).

Loud! Too loud to carry well though. Highs are screaming and lows rattle the speaker. U can definitely find a solid median. Especially if ur keeping it in the shower. But loud enough, to answer ur question...

Anywhere from 4 - 6 miles. If you want to talk further I would look into adding an amplifier. Hope this helps.

I put this in my kitchen. Sound quality is pretty damn good. Haven't tested the distance. I'd say I've been about 30ft away and played music from my phone, using YouTube, no problem

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

Yes the sound is good and clear. I used it while I was on my eliptical and the only problem I had is that it wouldn't get loud enough.

The speaker is actually quite good. I use this in my child's nursery so I don't play it that loud, but I can say that the quality is good.

Hi, I bought this for my daughter and she hasn't complain about it. maybe some people bought the defected ones. I don't know but the thing doesn't sound very good but its not horrible either. Ive heard you can upgrade the speakers but it already sounds loud enough.

10-20 feet. The range is pretty good on this device. Just don't have a wall in between your phone/device and these speakers because the frequency may cut here and there. Besides that, it has great sound quality and it can get pretty loud.

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

The SoundPop Bluetooth speaker has superb sound quality. The volume itself depends upon your sending device volume and the unit volume setting. Yes, the sound quality is far better that any laptop could offer, the volume seems better as well - no distortion. However, the range from the sending device is limited to about 25 feet (with no electrical interference). I use it in conjunction with my smart phone outdoors and indoors because of its portability. I recommend it for all music lovers.
