How much resistance is there on the top dial? Would accidental bumps on it change my volume easily?

There is a fair amount of resistance. I'm not sure how to quantify it. I don't believe that a light bump would change the volume. It is simular to most stereo equipment

It has a fairly good resistance. It is very smooth movement, meaning that yes, with a solid bump you could slightly boost the volume. However, considering the compact nature of it, this should not be a real problem.

The dial requires some force to turn it. It does not move easily by itself. So dont worry about accidentally changing its set volume.

The dial is really sturdy, it would be difficult to have a bump change the volume.

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

Yes. While I was turning the knob it went down. So I pulled it back up and I'm careful not to push down on it anymore. I also rolled the tubes to WE396A. The sound I have now is unbelievable. That's no joke. I thought it was all hipe, but I was wrong.

Hi Vanessa! The power button at the top has to be pushed a little harder but not really a big deal in my opinion. The volume buttons work fine. Hope this helps!

Mine did the same thing. I didn't ever figure out how to fix it. Then the volume knob quit working correctly.

You need to twist and let go, twist and let go. 1 twist and go will bring 1 level of volume up. You need to keep on doing that to max out. You can't hold it up or down... YouTube it, and you will understand what I'm referring too. Plus when you ride, keep your phone in jacket close to helmet so the connections won't go in and out. When you p I t the phone in the pocket, it goes in and out- so annoying!

It does NOT have a 'normal' volume control dial. It has a tiny number button on the side of the device, that you slide from #1, to # 2 up to #4, that kind of controls the amount of sound. If you crank the volume on the device you are connecting it to, then it can work - but it's not the best. I have never seen any volume control like that before - very weird.

I have never had a problem with changing the volume. We use ours from 9 to 13 and it will go higher.

Facing the power button in the center, look on both edges of the outer circular plate (blue part in this picture, white part on one with green power button); maybe you can zoom in and see one raised bump (- on left side) and two raised bumps (+ on right side). If you lean on either sides of that pressure sensitive plate, the volume will change.

You can do it by holding down the fast forward button for volume up & hold down the rewind button to volume down. The volume on mine seems to hesitate then it is maxed out, or it skips to the next song. So what I do is go ahead & max out the volume & I make all my adjustments using my phone. I like it better that way any way. My wife & I love it. We don't ride a Harley we are on a VTX 13OOR Sounds great.

As they get older, it does seem that the knob will have some crackle and eventually probably wear out when adjusting volume. It's the one thing I've seen go bad after 8 years of use, but that said, you shouldn't have too much trouble with it in the first couple years of use.

It does require a little more pressure but you get used to it. I will check about the volume. It's easy to remove from the case and replace again.

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.

I had to have mine replaced after less than a month. The volume/skip controls were the reason I had it replaced. The connector rusted I think. With my current ones I have been very careful in protecting them from direct skin contact. 3 months later and still good. I really don't think they are sweat resistant.

The twist style resistance knob can be cranked down so that the cranks barely move. The hand positioning should'nt make a difference. A good machine.

It's not hard to push the volume up/down buttons, although you don't really need to since you can change the volume in Android as well. As to the power switch, it's a little harder, but I think that's a good thing. This means you can place the phone face up on a hard surface without any risk of accidentially powering it off.Any difficulty with the power switch pales in comparison with the benefits of the case. It's the thinnest cellphone protective case I've ever used, and I know by experience, it protects well.

I haven't used it since it was for my grandfather but based on the instructions that I read (provided with the phone) it starts off at a normal level (based on the level you have it set to, just like other phones you can adjust the normal level). Then you press a button that boosts the volume, and press it again to return to the regular setting. Again, based on directions in the manual.
