How does it sound? Muffled? Crackly? Distorted? or just Pretty dang good for $17?

I would say a bit staticy but I recorded my entire class singing a small clip of "Iwant a hippopotamus for Christmas". I was still very pleased with this purchase.

Pretty good---the speaker is small, and there isn't much bass, but a voice recording sounds clearer and less muffled than what comes out of many cell phones. The volume is just right, too. It probably wouldn't fool anyone into thinking they are hearing a live voice, though, partly because there is a click when the recording begins to play.

For the price it's not bad at all. The sound is pretty good and it's so easy to change the message when needed. It has worked out quite well for us. We got it to remind our foster son to flush and he is! Yay!

The sound it ok, for the money. It is tinny. Also, the motion sensor is SUPER sensitive, or just broken. It seems to go off at even the slightest, or at times, no motion. Just, FYI. This is cute as a gag, but not great functionally.

It depends on the source volume and proximity to the recorder as well as any ambient sound levels and acoustics. I was most disappointed by the fact that the recording length was only 7 seconds. I recorded my sound several times and through trial and error got a decent one.

It's really not bad for the price. We have it in a book drop for the library. When the student puts his/her hand in the book drop, the recorded message says "Ouch, you hurt my hand." We have a plastic hand hanging inside. The kids have to look through the slot to see it, but it has been entertaining. It suits our purposes.

I would agree that the sound quality goes down a bit after about 75 on a complex or bass heavy track, but it is damn loud at 70. I would get complaints in my apt if I listened to it at 60-65 for more than a short period of time and I can be pretty loud here. If you're looking feel the base at a really loud setting, look for a solid 2.1 system, but I think this is a solid choice for clarity, and base up to a modestly, not get kicked out of your apartment volume level and price.

The bass is pretty good. Not $100 headphone quality good, but still powerful enough to satisfy.

I'm looking for something like this but I am very funny when it comes to the sound. I need to know if the quality is good. What do you think?

The bass is acceptable, at least to me. It won't reproduce the 20 Hz organ note of "Also Sprach Zarathustra", but that's true of most headsets (the 20 Hz note is cut off in an mp3 anyway). The frequency response is fairly flat (which is what I prefer), so the bass doesn't "boom" and "stick out" over everything else. "New Age" electronic/instrumental music (my personal favorite) sounds wonderful on this headset.

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

Hi. The sound is ok but at higher volumes dialogue tends to sound garbled. I have some hearing loss myself and I prefer to use headphones when I'm using the unit. If you're viewing with a friend a pair of headphones can be used by getting a cheap splitter available at any electronics store. It may even have come with one - I don't remember. Cannot beat the picture quality and sturdiness though.

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.

I would say no... The distortion is really distorted and the clean is a little distorted, but not in a jazzy way...

Not really sure, but I'll tell you this. Don't remember what I paid for it, but I do remember being extremely disappointed with the sound quality. I seriously was expecting something of better quality from Sony!!

If your listening to Led Zeppelin or Mountain at 3/4 volume there is sound leakage. Although it's not bad. If your listening to something mellow it's not noticeable. Again sound is great,bass is really good and there light and comfortable in my opinion.

Sound distortion at the highest volume(using iphone 5) is very moderate. Although I don't remember too clearly I think the bass is reasonably good at any level. Overall it's a pretty decent speaker for the park or beach or just cleaning a room.

According to the people I've talked to while using it, it's pretty bad. My dad suspects the microphone is too sensitive, so it clips (if you're familiar with that sound phenomenon) unless you're talking quite softly and you move the mic as far away from you as possible. I would not have purchased it if I knew it would sound this way.

I notice it's on sale now. It's worth three bucks. Not a whole lot more. It records well enough to get sound into a computer. Another power source to amplify it would be helpful. If you're serious about sound fidelity, look elsewhere. Good enough for Skype probably.

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

Audio quality is not the best. but it is enough to listen music. I think it is $19 as headphones quality.

Unfortunately d sound isn't great at all. Me too was disappointed. It scores very high on the camera quality though.
