[Q]is the speaker really that bad?

---

I have a kindle fire and am considering a nook tablet, but I'm wondering does the speaker in the NT really sound as bad as people are saying? How is it compared to an iPod touch?

I don't have an iPod, but I have no complaints about it.

I've got all three of these in my home. Fire best, iPOD next, Tablet sucks

Thanks, i'm prob going to wait for the Asus mimo then. Although the Asus transformer speakers really sucked too.

No, I don't think the speaker is that bad. I think the internal settings/controls on the stock tablet are what disappoint a lot of people. I wasn't happy either until I installed the Volume+ app. I don't have any complaints since.

Ditto. The volume is just way to low on the nt.

That being said, I tried the volume + app and didn't see a difference. Maybe I just don't know how to use the app though. What settings are you using on this app to get more volume? All it seemed to let me do is control the volume for alarm, ringer, notification, etc.

I really find that to be an interesting position to take on whether or not you will buy the Nook tablet - not that I really care either way if you buy one or not as I am certainly not B&N employee or anything.

I own an iPad, a NT, and have owned an iTouch in the past. Frankly, I wouldn't want to listen to any of these devices through their internal speaker. They are all very small and can only provide a miniature tin can version of sound.

However, I will say that any of these sound great with headphones and can easily be improved with decent set of portable speakers plugged in.

Just my two cents on the subject...

Well, i was going to let my dad watch movies on it, he's 84 years old, he won't use headphones.

I got the kindle fire, and really liked it but the space is so too limited so i'm returning it.

I was going to get the NT, but the speaker sucks, and personally i don't like the larger form factor for a 7" tablet.

I would get the galaxy 7" but it's too expensive.

Guess i'll have to wait. Thanks for the input everyone.
