Many good things to say, so what can I write what has already been written by so many. Instead, Ill focus on why I took two stars away : FM VOLUME range !!!

Ive read a few other reviews commenting on the FM volume being loud, but what they failed to convey is that there is almost no lower volume control in FM mode. When you hear so many reviews stating this speaker is loud, thats fine. But what good is loud if one doesnt have decent control over the entire volume range, especially in the lower range. Let me first say that if you mainly intend using this as a bluetooth speaker, this volume-control issue is merely moot, because you can use your audio source to control the volume, which seems to do a much better job in the lower volume decibels. HOWEVER, if you intend to use the built-in FM radio (which was one of the major decision factors for me), you will be highly disappointed. Lowest setting, the volume-level readout set to 0 is basically mute = no sound. But press the up volume key JUST ONCE to number 1 and easily two-three rooms in your house will hear it, aka theres no low volume control. Theres no way to make it any quieter. Its either a choice of no sound or medium sound, and on up to crazy loud from there which would likely distort and possibly damage the unit.

So I took two stars away because this just a huge oversight by the engineers to such egregiously fumble the proportional scaling of the FM volume control. I can only hope there is a firmware update that can address this, otherwise Im am highly likely to return it solely for this reason.

After searching for some cheaper but quality headphones for a few weeks I ended up with these headphones. They were not my first choice but I wanted an over the ear type of headphone for less than $20. I was excited they they come with volume control until receiving them. The control is one button. You are supposed to be able to turn the volume up and down, change the song, pause and play. So far, even after reading instructions, I can only figure out how to turn the volume up and to pause and play. So I'm a little disappointed.

Okay, after 3 very frustrating days of trying to get this simple device to send sound to my Bluetooth headphones I finally got updated info from the Manufacturer. I was able to load the drivers to my windows 7 laptop and connect my headphones fairly easily, but still no sound would play through. Here's the trick, RIGHT CLICK THE BLUETOOTH ICON AND CLICK, "SHOW BLUETOOTH DEVICES" your headphones should show up. DOUBLE CLICK THAT ICON AND THEN THE A2DP (sink). It's either off or on, TURN IT ON!!!  Then  RIGHT CLICK ON YOUR VOLUME CONTROL ICON AND CLICK SOUNDS. GO TO THE PLAYBACK TAB AND ACTIVATE THE "BLUETOOTH AUDIO RENDERER". CHECK THE SHOW DISCONNECTED AND DISABLED DEVICES THEN CLICK "TEST". You should be hearing some sounds.
Hope that helps someone out there!!

This info is from the Manufacturer:
1. After install the CD driver, and get paired to your headsets, please click the A2DP if you want to connect to your Bluetooth headsets / speaker listen music.
2. Set Bluetooth Audio Renderer as Default Device
3. You can click test to check if you have connect successfully or not.

I did not realize when I purchase this that it has no volume control at the side, it drives me crazy, as the other previous version I owned had it and I keep looking for it to raise or lower the volume. It was much more convenient.

Lost my iPhone's EarPods. Went to get my dusty fire phone's headphone as a substitute. Volume control does not work with my iPhone.

Not loud at all! Very frustrating because i may as well just play on my laptop speakers or my phone :(

I was surprised that all this speaker had was volume control. No bass control like the other 2.1 speakers. Apart from that, pretty good for the price.

These ear buds are okay sound wise.  I have no complaint.  But the volume control is unacceptable.  Even at the lowest level, it's way too loud.  The range is extremely limited, as to be virtually useless.  I just want to warn others, if you're thinking that you will get full range volume control, you're not.  You can think of these as basically having no volume control.  Other than that, these ear buds are fine.

The earphones have nice sound quality, but no volume control. If you truly want a hands-free experience, you might want to try something else.

Very low volume/gain, and terrible sound quality.

Volume is low, and if you touch the jack in any way the sound just shuts off

Loud and no volume control. To have the light on you have to have the music playing as well.

Just received this today and set it up.  I currently have it plugged into my laptop to charge.  I also have it paired with my HTC One m8.  Went to play music and nothing.  I attempted to adjust the volume on the speaker and nothing.  Turned up the volume on my phone, again nothing.  Was able to advance and replay songs through the buttons on the speaker.  So connectivity is there.  Still, no sound.  Went on NXG's website and there's no trouble shooting or faq section.  So, I don't know if the speaker is broke, or if i'm missing something or whether it needs to be completely charged prior to using (which I doubt).  Going to let it charge for a little bit and try it again.  If it still doesn't work i'm returning it to Amazon.  If someone else had the same issue and figured out what the problem was please let me know.  Thanks.

Was disappointed to find out that they do not control the volume but do allow you to play, pause and skip to next. Bought these in purple and pink for my wife as a gift. She uses her Nano on walks, housework, etc. and doesn't like holding on to her device. So this was a let down and all most useless to her in the way that with street traffic, water running, vacuum whirring and then quite breaks or lulls in-between, having a volume control was a must for her. Before anyone asks No, holding the buttons in or down do not adjust the volume like on other headphones. I wish that was better described in the Product Description.
