Not as loud as the claimed 75 to 80 db. off my soapbox. That?s a great plus. Nothing like being stared at thinking you look pretty only to be asked do you know you have hair on your face? Then it was all I noticed when putting on makeup. 5 rating, I would. I ordered them immediately. Not that the light show is awful, but its just very basic, which seems odd for a lighted speaker and is a let down in terms of what was hoped for. I am totally going to be spoiled by these. The size to great and it fits easily into my bag. The memory foam is firmer than I thought it would be -- so it is perfect -- I hate "walking on a pillow feeling".
