    This is not loud. I read it may be because it's in battery mode, so I called BB. They sold it open box excellent without the charger. Since it's over 30 days....like 41 days, I have to go to a store to possibly, potentially get a charger. I didn't even open the speaker for 2 weeks, smh. I have noticed that they're doing a lot of not marking open box correctly in the last year or so..and they wonder why we use Amazon. Policies, customer service, etc better. They better tighten up before their stores end up closing. Youo have to meet the customers somewhere. I order thousandsssssss from BB. Make that ordered. I have quietly quit them, lol all they have to do is look at how I use to order compared to now.
