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 file.

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