You can purchase it. It's loud enough to hear from another room and even downstairs in my home - a little muffled because i keep my bedroom door close. But if my father who needs to wear a hearing aid complains about the volume, then you're fine.

Yes u should because it's loud enough that I can hear from my living room to my back yard

The sound is not earth shattering like at regular movies but it helps the TV to have a better sound. If you're looking for big booms then maybe try something else

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

I'm not great at determining sound quality but I have only tried it in full blast once and it was alright. I usually listen in medium level or lower and it had an okay bass to it. The sound is a lot more clear at lower level than a phone speaker in full blast that's for sure.

I would look for the child headphones with a volume limit, so they can't inadvertently damage their hearing. Plus, I hate to say it, but these headphones really have poor sound quality (I know they aren't expensive, but still).

The sound output is not that great by itself. I connect mine to a JAM portable speaker which allows me to adjust the volume sound to what I want. If you want the sound output tol be heard by a large group, you will need to find an external speaker to your liking.

Hello - honestly its hard for me to say, but I you buy it and it is not loud enough you may return it (Return postage paid by you).

Hi, I was very satisfied with it and still love it!!! It can be made very loud and clear. I would recommend it. I have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears and this machine worked great :) Hope you like it too.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

You have to play music at a high volume for others close around you to hear it. The headphone has little sound leakage, but if others around you can hear music well, you are probably listening at a level unsafe for yourself. When I let my grandson use them, I did not hear sounds. Hope this helps

If it sounds better or not is subjective to the opinion(s) of each listener, if you're not happy with the sound I'd suggest getting an Equalizer so you can contour the sound it puts out to satisfy your taste. The unit itself works great and has proven to be dependable so far.

I have played a CD in the portable DV/CD. it sounds fine for me. I don't know if you might want a louder sound, I hear it mainly during the night & don't need a louder sound, that's why I got a portable one. it's what you prefer. the sound is not as loud as some people might want.

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

I like mine. It performs well and, in my opinion, it's worth the money. However, if you're expecting the kind of sound described in your question, I think you are going to have to spend more money for something more powerful. Good luck.

I'm sorry to say it's a tinny, thin sound nowhere as good as a cube. Back is cardboard. Great size to carry which is why I got it, but tiny speaker worked far better and without distortion than this machine. Good Luck!

The volume is very good, maybe even too loud if maxed out. Slight hearing loss will not be a problem.

No- and I would not buy it if you are looking to increase volume- it's a tiny thing that performs as well as the $5.00 it's worth. It is what it is

The advice I have seen recommends buying a unit for your weakest ear. I suggest you call the folks at CS 10, as they have just released an updated unit.
