how loud does it get and how is the bass? Is it better than the newer model?

The speaker gets pretty loud depending upon the song. I have my computer plugged into it so, using the equalizer in ITunes I can adjust the bass level to also get pretty loud where it makes my desk vibrate. However if you use it with an iPod, the bass is about average. I can't say if the newer models are better because the acoustics in the store are different than in your own home. But I am satisfied with the Beatbox. Hope that helps.

Yes. It's as loud as the newer model and the base is crazy!!!! Definitely worth the money. The second one I brought!!

I have it in my dorm room and if i turn it all the way up it is just stupid loud. Its unbearable. And as far as the bass, its just incredible. Really couldnt want anymore from somethig for this price. Compared to the new one this is much better because it is plugged in so the bass is stronger and doesnt have to rely on a battery.

It will easily fill a medium sized room with clean sound.. Remember this is a tabletop radio so you should have "reasonable" expectations for this product... Don't even bother with the new one it can not compare period..

It is really loud for its size and the bass is amazing for 5.25 inch woofers expecially if you find a corner to put it in

This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ... New model says 20 Watts RMS.They really both sound absolutely great. The ONLY meaningful difference to me is that, the newer model has integrated Bluetooth, the older model does not.You have to decide how badly you want that Bluetooth function and ask yourself if it's worth the $150 extra (give and take) you're going to spend. I've got the old model in July of this year and it really achieve what I need. I listen to music from my tablet, my Ipod and connect it to my laptop to watch movie. I simply connect my audio cable every time. Long story short, they both sound formidable. One has Bluetooth. One doesn't. This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ...

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

The bass is average. All depending on the room your in. Don't expect miracles. Price for performance under a bill, it is a great deal.

It has very impressive sound for the size. The only complaint sound wise is that it won't play the really low bass notes. I would say around 50hz is the lowest it will play. Some will say that this set isn't durable or loud, but I use this everyday at work and I have had no problems at all. As for how loud it can go, I would suggest using a usb drive loaded with mp3s instead of a phone or media player. The sound level from the usb is far superior.

Oh yes! The bass, in my opinion, is fantastic. I tried some 130 dollar earbuds once, and I loved the bass. But these are better. And cheaper.

Well obviously this can be a subjective question. But to me, yes, there's plenty of bass. Compared to something like beats, maybe not as much but I'd say the overall sound is really good and it gets quite loud. Also considering the price compared to the beats I would choose these every time.

It is very loud and I find the sound quality for such a small speaker to be very good. You can also adjust the volume from your device so it goes even louder. I listen to music with a lot of bass and it sounds really good using this speaker.

I recently bought the ANC7b after losing my ANC7 headphones (my dumb fault). Although I expected the newer model to have better sound quality, I was disappointed. Mids and highs are more muted, though bass seems more prevalent in the "B" model. I am planning to return the ANC7b model to Amazon, and have found a seller on eBay that has the original ANC7 model for sale.Just my 2 cents...

I love mine just the way it is- You can adjust the bass the way you want it, and Iquestion adding more. Thanks Good Luck!! you'll love the unit!!

Bass is very good considering it's so open. It's present and punchy. However if you're used to the bass of a closed headphone like an ultrasone or beats you may be disappointed.

They sound a little bit different, the new one I have has a better bass...Considering its size this little monster rs a blast..!

It does have bass in it. I am not sure how loud it gets because I did not turn it up full blast.

Good for its size, yes. If you want bass you will feel, you need a subwoofer. I used the infinity 860w. It's a great speaker, compact, cheap at $48 shipped, and doesn't need a crazy amp to power it. I'm not into competition sound, so all I want is clear, full music.

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.

For the size of this device i recomend to get it. A friend of mine has a device from different trade and the diferencie is too big. Mine is much better. I enjoy the bass it is amazing the sound

For the extra 35$, you get a 1.25" bigger sub with a higher wattage which allows for heavier and deeper bass. Also, the wattage to the speakers is higher and that along with the wider range for frequency response allows for more notes to be hit as well as clearer sound. The 3908 speakers are fantastic, I've had them for nearly 6 months now and they're still superb.

I've listened to music all day for an entire week without problems. The bass isn't nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be. In fact, I even prefer upping the bass with the bass boost option on the FiiO E10K Olympus 2. The treble isn't harsh either -- I found that upping the 8 KHz frequency by an amplitude of 2 is a good idea, while the rest is just fine.
