With a cntompletely charged battery, when I unplug the AC adaptor plug from the Mondo, I DO notice a SLIGHT decrease in volume. I have not considered this a defect of either the Mondo or the battery. Even after hours of operation I notice nothing more than a slight loss of volume. I would suggest you charge fully for at least 24 hours, then check to see if the volume loss is slight or significant. If loss is truly significant, I would consider the battery pack to be defective.

I don't think its a defect, so much as a battery saving function of the radio. My smartphone will produce a much lesser speaker output, when running on battery, vs being plugged into power. That's my guess.

After the first charged I unplugged the radio from the outlet. the battery was defective because it never reached its maximum charge capability, I thought it could be the radio but I can't tell until I get another battery from the GRACE. I sent the battery back since its under a year warranty after I get my new battery I will keep you posted.

Depending on the source of the volume (eg. phone, iPod, mp3 player,...) it can get really loud. I can't handle the volume on my HTC One with PowerAmp app installed at max volume.

I notice that will happen at low volumes and when not many low frequencies are required. Try turning up the volume and/or bass a bit to see if that cures your issue.

I just left radio on at low volume,the battery will drain a little faster at a higher volume.

I only use the bluetooth connection and I would say my battery has never ran out while I have used it. My speaker is amazing. If I was guessing I would say something is wrong with yours.

I don't remember it being too low, It was usually too loud for my taste and comfort, perhaps there's a malfunction with the volume button in general?

It does work while it's plugged in, but in my case I have noticed that the volume is lower.

NO the device seems to compress the sound level changes a little so the louder volumes are lower

Mine is very loud too and I was also wondering if it was defective. Can barely hear the baby speak over the noise. Also, I have had to change the batteries twice since Christmas 4 days ago- this can't be normal.

I'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.

The volume on mine is adjustable to a quite reasonable low volume, however the volume control is tiny and imprecise.

Did you turn the volume up? Make sure the safety plastic are off from the tips.

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

I had that happen once. Are you on Bluetooth or plugged into the jack? Try using that rocker switch (think it says + / -) as a volume control! It is probably turned all the way down. Was never sure how it happened on mine but once I realized it and turned it up, I liked the feature! Hope that helps.

Haven't had that problem with mine, in fact the low setting is too loud and I put my finger near the speaker to tone it down when I am running. Steves119 echoes my suggestion.

I can't use it at anywhere near full volume since any base tones become thuds. It is good for background music. No difference that I can notice between battery or plugged in.

It had happened to me only when batteries are exhausted, I mean with low charge. I use rechargeable batteries on my Sony BT speaker. They can be very tricky if memory is not erased with an appropriate charger, I use a LaCrosse BC-9009 to refresh them. If you use good fresh alkaline batteries, that "cut-off" effect shouldn't happened. The louder the music the higher the power demanded from the batteries. When batteries are weak they are not able to supply the power the speaker need at high volumes and they give up leaving your device with no power until the batteries recovered a bit. I bet that when you play it with the ac adapter it keep going at max volume with no shut offs. Check if contacts in the batteries compartment are clean, poor contact produces the same effect as weak batteries. Hope this helps, Good luck.
