One review said this shoulder negatively affects the sound quality. Has anyone else experienced this?

If a shoulder rest affects the sound of a violin, it could only be attributed to no longer being muffled by the artists body, clothing or padding, which decrease volume. Chin and shoulder rests could only INCREASE volume which, admittedly, may alter (negatively?) tone. I believe the more my fiddles are suspended by rests that edge-grip them, the more beautiful my tones and projection. My music also sounds much better without my whines and whimpers of neck and shoulder pain.

I'm over 10 yrs experienced eastern style classical violin player. I haven't found any noticeable difference in sound or tonal quality with a good violin. I have tried different violins that include professional violins and even electric violins like yamaha SV255 as well. But this is just my opinion. The only factor that can affect the sound / tonal quality is how tightly hols your violin between your lower jaw and shoulder. Some people hold violin a bit tight between shoulder and jaw. This same effect might not be reproduced when using this shoulder pad.

I have not had any difference in sound, compared to when not using a shoulder rest, or using others.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

I have never had this issue, and I have owned 2 of these for over a year. Excellent sound quailty. Battery lasts a long time on charge. Hope this helps. I use it with an ipod and Samsung S5. No problems.

I've had no problems with mine, but I don't use it often. I picked up a headphone jack to analog converter cable, and just use the R & L inputs in the back. The quality on this unit is fantastic, it's well built and I don't think you'll have any issues.

No it doesn't, the sound quality remains unaffected in every given way for me. No problems whatsoever.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

I have never had a problem w/mine, it works wonderfully and has a great sound. I am wondering if your speaker is defective, and you need to return for an exchange? I am a trucker, my team mate and I both use it, in the truck and in the rest rooms while showering, and have never had a problem w/sound quality or reception. Either your speaker or the cable you are using to connect may be defective?

Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product). The audio quality is outstanding (better than the stupid Beats from Dr. Dre for sure..). What I did was to order a replacement (because it should be covered under warranty) and I was simply more careful: what actually breaks the plastic is grabbing the headphones from the ear pads when you take them off and on (despite that being the natural way of doing it) so every time I put them on and off I just expand them from the over head band, without putting strain on the thin plastic connectors that actually break. I hope this is useful. Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product).

Yes - we just got ours and we have noticed the exact same thing. We are contacting Bose.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

So far I have not gotten any complains about that. When you turn the volume up but you don't have it over your ears you definitely hear music clearly. Hope that helps!

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it. Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

No, not that I have noticed. I am pretty sensitive regarding sound, formally being a professional vocalist. Sound is extremely important to me. This was a concern when I ordered the case but from what I have been able to detect, the sound has not been affected on my Galaxy Note 3.

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout. Good luck Ramiro

I have never had any problem with unusual sounds. On the contrary, sometimes I think mine sounds better, crisper and clearer than my more expensive, more powerful, but 1 year older, Onkyo system.

No, I have no issues about it at all. Maybe its actually better because the speaker vents and mic are now facing towards you instead of downwards almost acting like a portable speaker.
