I just got these JBL Pebbles - sound is excellent, but not enough volume. Plugged into my laptop, sound all the way up on computer and and speakers.

Karen, I think the design of these speakers are only for certain volume (major use is laptop). That is why the speaker power / volum is not designed so loud considering laptop use (most of the time) is in public area. My suggestion is that if you need more power for the speakers use the set that goes with power sub-woofer is the only way.Thanks,Thuc

Yep. Send 'em back. Sony SRSX2 Ultra-Portable NFC Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (Black) with Speakerphone Sony SRSX3 Portable NFC Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (Black) with Speakerphone (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

I've had mine up pretty loud. You used the sound "wheel" on the speakers themselves?

Use the Bluetooth feature on you laptop. The volume is based on your laptop volume, so if that volume goes loud, you are good to go

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

Yes I was impressed with the quality. However I don't have a amp that puts out enough power to drive these speakers properly.

I returned my speakers ... they were not loud enough; the internal speakers on my MacBook Pro were louder/better. Then I learned that I could use the speakers from the TV directly for my Netflix streaming needs and so am now very happy.

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop. http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereo

I got much better volume by adjusting the equalizer. Go to a video on utube called boost laptop volume. I tried this with my laptop, and it really worked.

It would be louder than standard laptop speakers. The sound doesn't offer much bass, but it stays pretty clear.

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

Do not play your music too loud. People will hear you. I have used them in my classes on mid-low volume and nobody ever confronts me about them.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

I bought a pair of Infinity's P163 speaker. They easily fill our little living room / kitchen with great sound.

Mine sounds great, only on volume number 22. I played MP3 via a flash drive, sounds really good, even at higher volume.

The sound of the JBL On Stage is very good for a portable dock. The price is a bonus. Many people have heard mine and can't believe the sound.

If you find audio quality insufficient, you can always buy a laptop soundbar from e.g. Logitech, Philips, etc., which can be fixed to the screen or sit stand-alone. There should be greater volume, with much reduced distortion, and significantly enhanced bass.

I have these speakers and it's perfect because you can adjust the bass, which is helpful because I have paper-thin walls. At night I can set the bass to essentially zero (though it still sounds good from the mid-range satellites), and then during the day I PUMP UP DA BASS.

I have purchased two of these. Had no problems as they work great. Try to remove the speaker further away from the computer. I found that clipping it on the laptop the sound was not good, but moving the speaker a little way from the computer made the sound more clear. Also, make sure there are no other electronic devices close by - like cell phone, or some other kind of receiver/transmitter.
