Can you still hear music from the external speakers once it's locked into the mount? Does the sound seem muffled?

Yes. I wouldn't call it high fidelity, but you can hear the speaker output almost as well as when its in the open.

You can still hear the music. However, the volume is not loud. Plus this setup is for a home audio situation. For example, I have a Airport express which my iPad streams it's audio to which then streams the sound to my home theater.

It's great at keeping the external noise out, but when I blast it loudly in the library, I realize that it doesn't keep the music in that well.... oops ^o^ But then again, I did practically maxed my volume. ^_^ Good quality sound headphones.

Thanks for the question. It has nothing to do with settings-it's muffled. The Companion 2 is like that too-not good, BOSE! If all Bose products are being developed this way I won't being buying any more.

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

If you have the volume set to max then yes its pretty loud having it right behind your ear. Setting the volume down a few clicks did the trick. You and the viewer will still hear it. We took a 5 hour road trip and had no problems.

I have a pair for the rear and I am not overly impressed with the detail of the sound. Clarity is good, and the problem may very well be the receiver that I'm using. I'm figuring this out as I go. Solid construction and easy to install. Good luck.

No worries there's no sound leakage. Nobody will be able to hear what you are listening

I haven't tried to but, the back side is wicking material, so I'm sure the sound would travel out. But the speaker is on the back which is pressed against your arm. I'm sure the sound would be muffled.

Mine came through fine. I've had it for about 6 months, and no issues. I wouldn't recommend using the speakers though.

Hi! We've connected it to our TV and listening all movies and music and whatever we are watching on our TV (as for example I watch videos from iTunes in my iPhone and transfer it through appletv on our tv), and the sound goes through this sound bar. We like it very much, after a month using it, if we turn on the regular sound through the TV it really sounds kinda "poor". Don't know how this sound bar is in compare with the once that are more expensive, but we've Reyes only this one and are extremely happy! Hope it helps you to make this decision.

Hi JC the sound quality is not affected by the holder and you can be rest assured about that. We finally used some headphones as "The Wheels on the Bus " played repeatedly, did start to create an issue!!!!! I started hearing it in my sleep.

There are slots on the side so that it does not cover the speakers. The sound is not muffled. I purchased it for my Galaxy Tablet 3.

If you're asking with my headphones on, yes. It still sounds great and works without any problems with the hands free phones. If you're asking without headphones, I haven't tried. The face and back are covered, so I assume it would sound muffled.

I say go for it ! The speakers are sealed pretty tight with the outside cover plate .

I have flush mounted them and has not noticed any degradation in sound quality. My speakers are almost 3 feet higher than the ear highets and 4 feets away from the sofas. Again no issues.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

The speaker is on the back of the phone next to the camera. The case has tiny holes (20 to be specific) directly over the speaker. I have noticed no loss in sound with the case on.
