I use it in a home office setting which is about 11x15 room, sitting on a desk and not too close to the wall. It's fills the room nicely. Also, used it outdoors over the summer and it was loud and clear. I've noticed the more I use it, the better it sounds, tight bass and clean tremble. Just a nice overall balance of sound. Everyone's taste in sound is different but this is really nice, especially with all the features with Airplay, Spotify and bluetooth.
