sounds as good or better than most

I've been playing for over 40 years, owned many Marshall amps. This is the first Marshall pedal for me. It sounds great with my Fender and Marshall amps. It has a wide range of distortion, from grunge to near new metal. Compared to other OD pedals I've had it's a steal for the asking price. I've owned/own Fulltone, Visual Sound, Radial, Electro Harmony, Vox, Barber, many others. It's a nice OD with many options to tune it the sound you want and it plays well with all the amps I have tried it with.

This was heard on an audiophile system, McIntosh & Oppo) not an "out of the box" package.  OK, is this worth listening to?  Yes, unless you have the old Mobile Fidelity UHQR vinyl version.  Then you may have issues.  Are there issues with the sound?  A few.  There is some added bass in passages that was unnecessary, as Snowdog mentioned.  We also found a few passages to be overly bright, almost to the point of becoming shrill.  So we just dropped the sound level. If you want to listen at serious levels, then you may be making adjustments. As others mentioned, it is very clean sounding.  Almost too clean.  Have to agree that this is off another digital track and not the original tapes.  That said, if you want something with good, clear sound, this may be for you if you don't own a cd version that you are happy with.  Just don't listen at near concert level.  Forgot to mention, we listened to the 2.0 PCM selection.  One other odd thing, if you decide to use video and make your selection of one of the other formats, and you don't see the track playing listing......it was pushed up to the top left in a small box.  Kind of odd.

Doesn't sound Tinny or cheap, at least in this amp.  I find that it's trial and error, but with these there seems to be less error and more good sound!  Just don't throw away the old tank if you have a vintage amp, some collectors want to keep the old one, and it is possible to find someone to fix a badly broken tank (at great expense).

Just picked this up and find it to sound great. It certainly sounds better than my original CD from the 80's. The only downsides are that you have to get up to change sides often, but it's worth it for the sound quality. Be aware that the hi-res download offer expired at the end of 2017.

sure, there are a lot of units out there that sound a lot better, put out a lot more volume, but for the money, this is an excellent unit.  sound is good, works fine in a bedroom, for example, basically does the job it's meant to do.

High quality, things sound much better (noticeably so) in comparison to the cheap cable I have.

I have seen and heard a bunch of little speakers for ipods/phones. Some sound good and others sound awful. The Oontz Curve sounds great. No, it isn't as loud as the Yamaha stereo receiver in my living room. It does instantly connect with my iPhone through the Bluetooth and it keeps me happy for a long time. I have yet to have it run out of battery but then I haven't really pushed it.
I am really pleased with this purchase. Thinking I'll get one for my wife to take to the beach next summer.

The sound is good , but if you try your headphones I think it is even better. I use the recorder for college, along with that I can throw music right from the computer to the recorder, and sounds better than my iphone 6 plus.

I used to be an audiophile.  I still dream about vinyl on a good turntable with a warm tube amp, but I digress.  I have jambox and bose --and they clearly differentiate themselves with better sound.  But this thing is way more than half as good for way less than 1/4 or 1/8 the price.  Excellent volume and decent sound means good value to me.  I rarely give 5 stars but I think this deserves a little better than 4 so I'm raising the average.
If it craps out after a dozen uses I'll come back and downrate it significantly.

I bought one of these systems used off eBay and have used it for years.  It's not he loudest nor is it the most clear sound I've heard, but it's a beast and has served me well for years with no problems.

I wonder why I ordered the purple one. But since that doesn't affect the sound, then this is as good as it gets.

I'm a persnickety audiophile, but sometimes I just need music on the go. In this case, on my fishing boat, camping, traveling, or in the garden or hot tub. I have listened to a lot of units and it was between this and a Bose unit. This sounds better and is by far a better value. The battery life is just fine and it just works flawlessly and sounds great (for what it is). The bass is pretty remarkable, particularly if you angle the rear into a wood corner. It may be annoying to some that it starts "walking around" when the bass gets thumping, but what can you expect? I find it simply comical. Anyway, great deal and a lot of fun to have around.

Sounds pretty darn good. Probably not the very best sound of the bluetooth speakers, but close. (I actually slightly preferred the sound of the TDK A34, which had the added benefit of portability and a battery.) But if i ever buy a second of these, i'm guessing it'll sound pretty perfect. What sold me is the ability to store music on the computer, and not trying to fit it all on my phone. Still listening to my own music, but eventually i'll figure out how to play pandora, etc... The only issue i've had with it is an inability to connect when my son's ipad is still being recognized. I'm sure there's a fairly easy answer to this problem, but i haven't figured it out yet. I think if you unplug and plug back in, that may resolve it... But there's probably another way... Once i figure it out, i'll probably give it five stars...

It doesnt get as loud as I would like, but the sound is rich, the bass if strong enough, over all good speaker. Also, you can change the cover on it.

Sounds really good! Power is balanced & when you need it, you get it, without the distortion of cheaper amps. Though not as "tube-like" as my Carver CM1090 was, the Yamaha still pumps the lows nicely and the mids have more clarity, sometimes almost popping out at you 3 dimensionally (of course with the proper speakers). The DAC/ Optical brings it into the 21st century. Overall happy.

Good for the price, great low end fidelity, high not as strong.

I like the sound of this.  A lot of people consider themselves audiophiles and seem to be able to detect differences in sound quality far beyond what I'm able to detect.  I think it has to do with too many Deep Purple and Black Sabbath concerts in my youth.  Anyway, I use this in environments that make it difficult to detect subtle sound quality differences anyway; while camping outdoors, working in the garage, etc.  Usually there's enough background noise that you'd never be able to tell the difference between this and a unit that costs twice as much.  Lots of good bass without annoying resonance peaks and I love the fact that you can charge your phone from it if needed while using said phone as the music source.  The Bluetooth range seems to be about 30 - 40 feet, although I haven't actually formally tested it.  I bought another one for my niece and she loves it too.  It's nice, I can certainly recommend it
