My laptop volume is not very loud, does this give good volume boost for a large room?

The SoundPop Bluetooth speaker has superb sound quality. The volume itself depends upon your sending device volume and the unit volume setting. Yes, the sound quality is far better that any laptop could offer, the volume seems better as well - no distortion. However, the range from the sending device is limited to about 25 feet (with no electrical interference). I use it in conjunction with my smart phone outdoors and indoors because of its portability. I recommend it for all music lovers.

A large empty room, yes. Be advised, I purchased two in January '14 and they are both useless now. They turn on and will sync up, but produce nothing but a high pitched white noise. In hindsight, I'd opt for something of a more reliable brand.

It's great! I haven't had any problems with the sound. Although, I use this on my computer so I can adjust the volume. I don't know what you will be using it with but if you can adjust the volume you should do ok.

The "buzz" is a fan and you have to be right next the TV to hear it - if the fan on your laptop does not bother you this won't either. If it is louder than that you should return it - its broke....

Plug the small mini jack (3.5mm) into the headphone jack of your laptop.I leave the speaker system turn up (80%) and do all the volume adjustments with the laptop volume control.

I don't think so. This little speaker is about as loud as a good laptop speaker, and I think that's what it's meant for. So I'd say it's expected that the user will be sitting close to it, as in right above it. It's not going to project across a room very well and I can't imagine it will be louder than even the smallest TV speaker.

It your wifi connection is strong enough and the area is small enough for the speaker to fill it, it should be OK. You might have to crank up the volume depending on the ambient noise. In an open area, I doubt you will be satisfied with the volume, unless you just want it for background.

Mine certainly get loud. I would assume it is your source. Make sure the volume on your computer is up.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

Yes, just start audio out from your computer without boost and work up from there.

If the laptop have Bluetooth a you will be very close the sound could be regular, but I recommend other kind a little more expensive, there are the cheapest one and for me din't work well.

It has a nice full sound, not super loud... Should be fine, it's louder than it's size indicates... Don't expect high volumes

It would be louder than standard laptop speakers. The sound doesn't offer much bass, but it stays pretty clear.

Absolutely not! It is a good little speaker to amp up the volume at your desk, but it won't take the place of a more expensive speaker by any means. It actually doesn't have enough volume to fill a room. I like it and would recommend for use under limited circumstances, but I bought it only to use with my phone. I would say that it increases the volume by about 25% at the maximum. You have to be near a power source, because the connecting cord is very, very short. I like it and it was worth the money, but the text advertising it greatly exaggerates its power, volume, and tone quality. For the back yard, this speaker would be useless. Absolutely not!

Probably no more volume than your TV already. This would be similar to LCD TV or good laptop speakers.

Yes, it works quite well to boost your volume, but does much more to improve your sound. And you control how much of the "processed sound" you want to add to your "dry" sound. This is an amazing tool for the price...I wouldn't want to play without it now.

To me, this unit provides more than sufficient volume in even relatively large rooms (music provided either from iTunes via Airplay to an Airport Express or our cable digital converter box). I have also used the high performance units in a couple rooms and actually feel there is too much amplification in those cases.

im just blasting music from my laptop. I did try to "tame" the speaker last night, found some balance. But then a totally different song would play and the clip light would go on again. In my bedroom I don't need much volume. But in a wide open living room, I want more. I want it to stay crisp and punchy but louder. You think I need to upgrade?
