It is good and loud. You will hear it as long as you have got the speaker facing up and never down. It is a small speaker and not a subwoofer you would be standing next to at a rave wondering if you can really touch the sound you are seeing.
It is about the good sound for a camping speaker, nice sound for being on a bike as long as you point it towards your head, it is not quite a bring the party to this room speaker, but it is okay. All that is subjective of course. I think for outdoors they did a pretty good job with it.

The flashlight head separate so you can obtain the charging functions of the device. It has a ring that screws as much as hold it on, so no worries about losing your head.
