Is this much louder than an iphone 5 or Galaxy s4 built-in speaker?

Absolutely. My son has an Iphone 5 and my wife has a Galaxy s4 and the speaker is much louder than either. Hope that helps.

Oh yeah, no question. Louder and fuller. I borrowed my dad's so I could watch some HBO shows on my iPad for a week, and now that I've given it back, I had to hold the iPad close when watching and still didn't enjoy it as much. I also went to a BBQ the other day where they didn't have the speaker, and the two iPhones playing songs were just as you'd expect a phone to sound...pretty awful. I really missed this speaker and bought a second one today since I like the one I bought for my dad as a present so much. Definitely better than a phone's built in speaker, and if that's all you expect this to sound like you're going to be blown away. Oh yeah, no question. Louder and fuller.

Oh yes! The sound is so much better! Not as good as a bigger speaker but for its size we were very much impressed

Jin, unsure, I sent mine back, and waiting for confirmation of return. Maybe this product will work a lot better for you, but it was way too low volume. Barely could hear it paired with my S4 phone.

That actually varies a lot on the output of the phone. On my HTC One I can't get any louder than 75% without it being deafening, because they are REALLY loud. On my Macbook I can't exceed 50% because it's even louder. Overall, volume should not be an issue as these are very loud headphones.

No, it isn't loud enough, in fact, the volumen is too weak in any situation. I bought it three months ago and the connection for charge is broken.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6. Can't get the volume low enough. Reasonably loud for a small room or nothing.

The Bose is far louder than the Jambox, which isn't all that much louder than many phone speakers. I own a Jawbone, am considering the Bose.

The speaker volume matches my phone's ringer volume. If I have the speaker on in my home office and my phone is on the other side of the house I will hear one or the other where ever I am. If my phone is in the same room as the speaker I hear the ringer in stereo, but not any louder than either device on its own. I have an iPhone 4S.

Yes it is very loud for it's size. Personally I have never needed my volume maxed out.

pretty loud. Music/song listening is fine. Using it as bluetooth handsfree is also very good.

pretty loud compared to an iphone, but not very loud compared to a regular stereo. it sounds very loud in a backyard, but not at the beach

I'm guessing it might depend on the device? I can only speak for the iPhone 5 that I have, music quality is great, bass could be better, but crisp sound. As for talking, they can barely hear you and it's muffled sound both ways so not so good quality for phone use.

(iPhone5 & S5) Both sound good and clear, I would give the android a better deeper bass sound
2212503
yes,that is loud enough. when on the phone it self the sound isn't loud enough.

It is definitely louder than the internal speakers. I purchased this for my mother so that she could listen to music with better quality and volume.

Yes it is. It has a special button that you use to make it so, plus it also has a boost button to raise the volume even higher.
2125791
yea, I would say it is. the maximum volume on the device is pretty loud at best. Although sometimes the bluetooth audio cuts in and out sometimes for no reason. I've heard some people saying when they are using the speakerphone on it they also get the same cutting in and out.

Honestly, I love this thing, but the speaker is horrible. My Galaxy S4 phone is louder and sounds better, which is kind of sad in my opinion. My battery lasts longer than my 12-hour work day with moderate use but not heavy use. Obviously it'll depend on what you're doing. Anything that requires constant screen use is going to severely limit the life of the battery.
