Loud? I'm hard of hearing and need a good loud volume in addition to clear sound.Can anyone tell me if it has a decent volume level?

It can blow your ears out if you turn it up enough. It also has a Speaker Phone mode that can be pretty loud.

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.

It's not loud at all. The subwoofer is worthless, my 6-inch, full-range speakers blow this box away in both SPL and low-end response. It sounds like it's about 5 watts. After about 65dB, the audio begins to distort beyond pleasantries. It's like a semi-decent personal radio, for a very small room, without much low-end at all. Nearly worthless. I will say it does sound better than the built-in speakers in my cheap 32-inch television, but not by much, just a smidgen better. Just barely better, but not at all louder.

I would give it a chance. I keep mine next to me on my nightstand. It does an amazing job at covering over other loud noises, and the volume control in it can make it really LOUD! I even have a belligerent man in the apartment complex across the street from me who comes out and holds extremely loud conversations at 11pm, 12pm, 1am, ALL THE TIME. I can't even hear him anymore because this machine does such a good job.

Well, loudness is relative, but to me, it is annoyingly loud. I have a small TV on my kitchen table and when the mixer is running I have a hard time hearing it, actually I can't hear the TV. I hope this helps.

I guess it depends on how loud the sound is. I don't listen to very loud music. The headset has a nice quality and can easily cancel any external noise. So I don't need to increase the volume to enjoy it. I asked people living with me in the same house. And they say that can't hear anything. But iam not sure about very loud music. Sorry for the super late response

late to answer, but I play drums and it is loud enough for me. I also wear ear plugs everytime I play (fyi), I have mine mounted to a boom arm/cymbal arm and its near my right ear (about 2 feet away +/-) and the volume is up all the way. Its built in speaker is loud enough - but then again that would depend on what voice I use. Accent plus the first voice I believe.

Honestly, I haven't taken it to full volume. Never needed to. If you need a TON of sound, a small Bluetooth set won't help you, no matter who makes it. This is for portable situations, not to entertain a bunch of folks for a party or anything like that. If your group is larger than about 6-8 people and/or you have a large space to fill, look to the next level up in size. I.e., bookshelf size stereo.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!

The speaker is definitely louder than a typical speaker setup on a laptop or tablet, but there is no volume control on it. That being said, the sound is very clear. Depending on how loud everything else may be, this might do the trick. I use mine with my tablet (iPad) in my backyard near the air conditioner, and I have no problems hearing everything.

It is very loud! I agree but I never tried to figure out the volume. Therefore, I don't know. Sorry!

I bought it primarily for the amplification, the visual features were an unexpected bonus. I always have the volume turned up loud. If you can wait 2 weeks, I'll try it at low volume and let you know. Otherwise, I would call Plantronics technical support who were very helpful.

It is fairly loud on high. I use it in a workout room and have to turn up the TV volume. However, I rarely use it on high since it pushes a lot of air. The sound level on medium and low is not unreasonable.

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