How high can the volume go, I am looking for a pair of 2 way walkie talkies for my elderly parents. My father's hearing is very poor and often my mother will need him for something and he can't hear her even a room away so I'm looking for something that has some decent volume to it. Thanks!

The sound can go pretty low with no disturbing the sound quality . The volume can go some what loud but not to far up because then you get a disturbing the sound quality. I use mine in the office, home and friends home sometimess.hope this helps.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

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

This is going to sound REALLY stupid, but how old are you guys? People in their teens and 20s are capable of hearing high pitched sounds that older people cannot. I for example can hear a high buzzing sound when my dad uses his camera, and I can always tell when our regular standard def tv is on for the same reason. The Wall Street Journal even reported several years ago how some stores in shopping malls were having these sounds emitted in front of their stores because they did not want teens loitering.

If the volume is not like a standard radio where you can turn it up and be able to comfortably listen to it in another room then I think there is something wrong with the one you bought. I have plenty of volume, with the volume control set a #5 I can hear the radio in every room of our house. If by chance you have external speakers plugged into the line out jack, then you need amplified speakers. the line out jack is an un-amplified output. If you are using the actual radio speaker and there is a fuzzy-ness especially with the bass turned up possiblely the speaker has a crack in it and that would affect the amount of volume.

My mom actually owns this. I had her look for hookups. She said that it is pretty loud and the only jack she could see was for the headphones.

I do not know how bad your hearing is but it really helped my mother . It has a microphone to pick up sound so whatever the sound system is putting out will be picked up and amplified . Good luck

Not too far. I suggest you buy a real set of walkie's for the same price. Look them up on amazon or on Google under "best walkie talkie's"!

It is a loud piercing whistle. Depending upon the extent of the hearing loss, I believe your grandmother should be able to hear it. The whistle certainly is the loudest I have ever heard.

I bought this for my Dad and he won't use it. Just stubborn. I don't know how others work, but man oh man this was amazing...but that was for those of us who can hear well. I'm not sure why my Dad won't use it, but I think it's more likely that it's him being vein rather than it not working well. I could whisper 40' away from where my hubby was wearing it, around a corner and his head hanging out a window, and he heard me. It's works extremely well!

Go to Set-Up,scroll down to Audio settings,then scroll down to speaker settings,from there you can determine the best sound from the distance settings of your speakers according to room size. Play with it awhile until you get the volume and the type of sound best for the room you have it set up in.you can adjust it by distance and sound level. It can get quite loud once you do this,I had to go back and adjust it a couple times because it was shaking the china in my wifes china cabinet which is downstairs,due to too much bass. it may take you a few tries to get it the way you want it,but you will be very happy with the sound once you do. have fun!

Charles, it's plenty loud enough for us. You can control the volume from your bluetooth device and from the speaker itself. We've had to turn it down, we can hear it throughout our fairly large house. Having said that, if you're trying to fill a large hall or something then it mightn't suit your needs. We're very happy with this purchase, it's been an absolute winner!

i purchased this for my father. I cannot say how it will work for you, all i can say that my dad is happy he has to sometimes take it off when he is at the mall or in the car because it grabs all sounds so sometimes it sound like static or very loud you know and as others that have purchased point out it is an amplifier so sometimes things can get very loud. the only thing i would say it a little bad is battery life. for the price i would invest the $$$

mine is plenty loud at about 1/3 volume, but the unit is about 2 ft from memine seems to be audible, from 10ft away-not loud, but audibleI keep the TV volume muted, its just me in the TV room, most of the time, but if wife is watching TV, with me, I just turn the TV volume upI really think this is made, to set close to someone that has hearing lossHope this helps

Since I haven't used the speakers outside, my answer is hypothetical. I filled a kitchen/family room with nice sound, and the volume was around 50%. It obviously had more muscle than I used. Hope this helps.
