Sound is distorted

Volume level is set too high

Decrease the volume

Sound source is distorted

If the iPhone/iPod original sound source (MP3) is old or of poor quality,
distortion and noise are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try
a different audio source such as a music CD through the line-in jack.

If you are using an external sound source like older generation of
iPod or iPod Shuffle, try reducing the output volume on the device
itself. Also try turning bass boost OFF.
