I bought this speaker because my Sony Vaio S has ridiculously quiet internal speakers.  It had the best reviews at the lowest price point, so I thought &#34;why not?&#34;First of all, it is a very classy-looking device, with the matte black plastic exterior and a splash of red on the drum.  The aesthetics remind me of an HTC EVO.  It is approximately the size of a tangerine when it's closed, which is a perfectly portable size.This thing can get extremely loud.  Even outdoors the sound travels pretty far and watch out when turning up the volume all the way inside.  I was wrong to expect so much from such a small device, but it is important to note that these speakers are very tinny.  Unfortunately, I can't use these for my personal listening because they absolutely despise bass.If you're looking to buy speakers to improve the sound on your laptop, look elsewhere!  Otherwise, these are well-made speakers with ample volume for portable media players where sound quality isn't much of an issue. 

Question: How high can the volume be?
Answer: This thing can get extremely loud
