This device maybe cheap, but it doesn't sound cheap, the bass could be a little heavier, but I guess that's just personal taste, it's not so soft that it will annoy you, but for those that like a very heavy bass you will find out that even at the Rock equalizer setting it's not there. The music sounds clear and the Jammin blows your ears off on the highest volume setting. Waitec has not limited the volume, so you can hear you music at full volume, something I really liked. Even at the highest volume setting (32) the sound is still very good.
