Is this speaker a lot louder then the ihome iBN24 speaker, which is the double speaker that is the next step down in the ihome series? Thanks

Yes. And much cleaner and crisper bass. When pluged in to a power source. It it's very loud.

Probably the higher one, but difference is negligible. If you want the loudest, most noticeable sound, get both of them.

The Reference Series appears to be a better overall speaker. It handles slightly more power, seems to have a substantially larger magnet and a deeper mounting depth...which comes at a cost. I have 4 pairs of the cheaper speakers used for whole home audio. For ~$34, they are decent speakers. Depending on your ear and how the speakers are installed, you may or may not be able to tell a difference. For example, I have 2 pairs mounted in the basement ceiling whereby they have the entire truss space to act as the speaker 'box'. These sound noticeably better than the ones on the main level that have a minimal box and surrounded by attic insulation. If your ear is more 'tuned' and you plan to use the speakers for home theater, you may consider stepping up to the Reference Series. I probably would have if they were available when I installed them. But again, at $34, I have no regrets. Hope this helps.

This is a difficult question answer if you have not listened to both devices. I have been very happy with the FoxLv2 speaker, and I would be surprised if any other system would be significantly better.

From my experience, the volume of this speaker is really low. When first paired with iPhone, I suppose it set the volume at mid-level, which is actually lower than iPhone's speaker. You have to turn on the volume up to the maximum, you can get something slightly louder than iphone's speaker depending the audio source. For most music source in my iphone, the M3 speaker's volume is okay for indoor usage. For speeches, or the sound from Youtube, the Me speaker's volume is only slightly louder that iPhone, which is completely useless in outdoor usage.

I can't account for all other mini speakers, but I can say that compared to the IHOME mini speakers, this would be the better choice! It is very unique and most importantly.. RELIABLE!

i like the sound of the mini better, but the 3 gets a lot louder. I'd say if you don't need a loud speaker, go with the mini. Save money and the sound, especially at lower volumes is more crisp on the mini.

Sadly, yes. The v1.0 model that I have is whisper quiet, but my v2.0 unit has a loud whine, so much so that I can hum the precise pitch. <sigh>

I listened to this speaker at Best Buy today, and would say definitely not. The UE mini Boom was shockingly loud however, so you might want to give that one a try. I am not a speaker expert... I just listened to the speakers available at the store, and based on that, this is the best advice I can give.

We have used one speaker and it sounds great even in a larger room, however when we use two speakers the sound is amazing and really adds depth and even more quality to the sound. I love this speaker!

To resolve the low volume problem: Erase the iBN24 Bluetooth connection from your phone, then do a full reset of the Bluetooth settings in the iHome speaker; turn unit ON then press and hold the Bluetooth Pairing Button on the back of the unit for 8 seconds. The light will flash red rapidly and a tone will sound. You will then need to re-pair your phone to the device. Full sound should be back.

This thing is pretty awesome! The battery lasts for a while and it bumps pretty loud. The blue tooth is pretty sweet as well. I would recommend it. I don't really know how it compares to the other speakers you said because I have not listen to them. Good luck!

I had 2 of these. 1 was louder than the other on high setting, so I moved the quieter 1 to the bedroom. Overall not loud enough to bother me.

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

Sincerely, I don't know how it is the larger one speaker but I can say that the MINI one is amazing, the sound is fantastic and it reach very high sound. Thanks to his small dimension, you can take it in your pocket and use it in each situation! Definitely I suggest it to everyone!
