Sound 4.5 out of 5 stars :  The volume goes pretty high when paired with either my Iphone or Laptop. It's not the best speaker for base, it gets a bit fuzzy with loud base. But for listening to music at home or for motivation during a workout session it's great! 

Design 4.8 out of 5 stars : The Lava lamp is beautiful! It takes about an hour for the lamp to heat up, then it slowly starts taking on shapes. I love it, especially in the evening. It does get a little hot so I don't advise touching the glass. It's a very sleek looking speaker & lamp, very modern.
