Anyone try it in a concert? I was wondering if anyone has tried it in a concert setting? If so, does the quality look and sound good?

I tried it at a concert and the video looks good, but the sound volume decreases very much as soon as the low bass notes come in. I guess you could edit it afterwards and make it better. It does pick up everything very well when there's no bass, even when the audience is cheering or even when someone in the audience yells something. Here's a little video I made to demonstrate the quality. (Note: youtube compressed the video, but the sound is like the original video.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0hDh8rZkg

I'm sorry, I haven't had a chance to calibrate my speaker system yet. I cannot provide anything of substance at this time. I have only watched one DVD "Eagles Melbourne Tour" Sound was great and the picture on my Panny 50 in HDTV was very good. Sorry I cannot offer anything else.

Very good sound for a laptop; really. Listened to new Arcade Fire live concert via NPR and could enjoy it just fine. Not audiophile quality, but better than I expected. Satellite... of love. Great concert, check it out.

I have a TV playing through mine. I played some concert DVD's through it and was very satisfied with the sound quality. For $100 it cannot be beat.

Let me recant that last statement as after extended listening tests, I've determined that line out is "bright" and a bit harsher sounding than headphone out(with bass and treble set to 0)so I use headphone out. I was surprised by this as line out should bypass amp and tone controls, go through less electronics and should be a "purer" signal. But it really does sound better(to me)through headphone out so I now only use that.

I love my music loud as well. I have my iPhone volume up to about halfway between the middle and the loudest and you can't hear anything besides the music. No outer interference or anything. It's like you're in your own little world of music. Bass is pretty good as well in my opinion.

Sound is great! The volume loudness is dependant on the volume the music on your player has been recorded In. I have some songs that play loud and others on the low side yet sound quality is always good.

Hi Robert- as a musician, I would say sound quality and ambience with this speaker are very good. If your party is just a fee kids, it might be loud enough for background music, but if it's a larger group and/or the kids are looking to dance, I would advise something with at least double or triple the wattage rating of this unit. Cheers,

I think it sounds pretty good and would compare it to many of the sound systems of the 80s ... I get good stereo; it's dolby and digital ... I wouldn't consider this item a top of the line Audio System ... There are better sound systems around, depending on your budget ... The question is do you need a more expensive system ??? ... I have a DVD player hooked up to this and my music CDs play just fine ... The stereo and surround sound quality are pretty good especially since I hooked the satellite speakers behind the couch and the remote woofer on one side of the couch ... Visio makes more expensive systems if you are looking for more and of course, you could always by a Bose System ... My opinion is unless you are a true audiophile, this system is good enough whether you are watching an HD Movie or listening your favorite CDs ... I'm satisfied ... Hope this info is helpful?

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

I agree with B. Richardson, the speakers in the machine are very good. Occasionally my hubby would hook up speakers if we were watching a concert and he wanted more bass, but it's sounds great just how it is.

I would suggest just returning it for full credit as I did. Clearly there are quality issues with this product and it sounds and looks a lot better than it actually functions (sadly). I would go further to say that it shouldn't be on the market!

We have the same problem, despite having isolated which band was best for our location. It seems that doing the auto search function will sometimes solve this issue, which appears to have something to do with compression cutting out a weak signal. The only real solution I've found is to keep them on the stage very close to the performer, fresh high quality batteries, and check the frequencies often (right before show etc...)

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.

Hi Aimee - I bought this a little over a year ago and the sound quality and the picture quality is pretty good. I want to listen to some of my Cloud music a little louder :) but maybe I need a better speaker system than I have now. Other than that - I have no complaints.

I've had mine almost a year and once it was broken in it sounded incredible. Find a good quality amp and you'll be a happy camper.
