Is the sound as bad as they say it is?

Thinking about getting an hd+, Is e speaker as bad as the nook tablet? All the reviews say you can barely hear movies. What about with cm10? Is the sound any better?

the reviewers must be hard of hearing. the speaker is pretty loud but tinny and firing the wrong way. but loud. put a post it note near the speaker and it'll redirect the sound to you instead of away.

Thanks for the response. How is it compared to an ipad speaker? I'm just afraid that it won't be loud enough for my daughter if there is background noise.

You can hear it fine in a quiet room. Any noise though and you'll need headphones, a little better than my phone.

maybe mine is louder than others because i cna hear mine loud and clear at aroind 70% with my daughter watching tv in the same room. maybe my hearing is sensitive., which would be odd considering i used to drive around with 6 sub, 4 mids and 2 horns in my car.

My husband has the HD+ and I have the HD. Both are plenty loud in my opinion. Much better than my Nook Color (which I imagine would be similar to the Nook Tablet). No idea how any of them compare to iPad.

The speakers are really loud. Louder than my TF700, or my Amaze 4g, or my Ipad2. They must've fixed it with the latest update.

Really? What firmware are you on?
