How sensitive are the volume buttons on the speaker? If i were to put it under my pillow would i keep hitting the volume keys?

i think if you are the type of person who moves around a lot in your sleep, yes you would. But, if you are a calm sleeper, you would not have a problem. The buttons are pressure sensitive, not touch though. One thing you might like about it, is the rubber coating. It wouldn't move around under your pillow. I put it on my dash in the car and it doesn't slide around while I am driving. If that helps at all.

My son said that the keys aren't too sensitive that it would present a problem.

The keys are not that sensitive, and would probably be okay under your pillow (if you weren't moving around too much. I've had the speaker under my neck, lying down on a beach and I didn't hit the buttons.

Actually, there are no volume or power keys. When you are on a call or listening to music, up/down on the directional pad acts as the volume. Hope that helps!

Yes, if you place it under your pillow the sound is very localized. They won't hear it.

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

There are two kinds of C. Crane. Pillow speakers. One is a few dollars more than the other and it does have a volume control. You have to be really careful with the cords... I straighten mine after each use and carefully store it for the next night. (You don't want it getting in knots - it won't last as long). I wish the cord were more durable but I haven't found anything that comes close to the usability and sound quality of these C. Crane pillow speakers.

I have 2 other keyboards that are quieter, but never use them and neither are without a sound. This keyboard does produce a clicking sound that can be heard in a connecting room, if both rooms were otherwise quiet. I'd guess the sound could be objectionable to anyone sleeping nearby. However, as daytime users, I did not notice the sound might be an issue, until you asked.

Move the phone up or down to the point where the volume knobs are exposed. It takes a bit getting used to while riding and trying to simultaneously adjust the volume.

I hid mine underneath but anything between the beeper and the person is going to cut down the volume some. I found that the unit was not as loud as I was expecting but is serving the purpose regardless.

Not unless you are listening at incredibly loud levels. It also depends on how sensitive your mic is. I was listening to music the other night at normal levels and an incredibly loud song started playing, causing me to turn it down quickly, but not before my wife was awakened.

Not bad for comfort. The issue is the very low volume level attainable on the audio input.

Others say so, but the "volume" buttons on mine don't work at all. I've tried pressing them quickly, holding them for a long time, nothing works. So I simply make sure my phone is as loud as it can go since I like everything else about this cute little thing.

I put mine on the top of my pillow. I can't hear it through my pillow anyway.

There are volume buttons on the back. Also you can adjust volume with your connected device

It controls volume just fine. And does have an on/off button. Sounds like it should work for you.

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though. I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

Rule #1 "There is NO such thing as TOO MUCH BASS." That device is EXTREMELY sensitive. You probably will be happy with it with the sensitivity control all the way down. If still too sensitive you can take the cover off and put a tiny piece of duct tape over the microphone. Good Luck. FEEL THE BASS!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

I flipped mine around to test, and that section of the flap is soft enough where the buttons still work. If you still find that difficult, a sharp utility or exacto knife would cut a clean, small window for the volume buttons.
