Overall, I like Youtube's sound quality. It's not the best but also not the worst either. And, the good thing about Youtube is how their videos are always free to watch and listen to. So, I really can't complain, even if the sound quality is not as good as a paid music service.

The Youtube sound quality for music videos is very good, even by comparison to my iPod player. And, for that reason, I am able to use it often for listening to music, when I am on my iPad or other mobile device.

I am not as pleased with the sound quality of videos that I have created on Youtube via the built in web cam function. The sound lags behind the image.

Though maybe this is related to my sound equipment more than Youtube.

Much better sound quality for videos on Youtube than even Pandora or Spotify, at least when it comes to loudness. On Spotify, I've seen how the sound is really low so I have to turn up the volume constantly just to hear the music. On Youtube, I have to turn the volume down. I'm sure it's better sound quality for paid Spotify members.

sound quality also depends on what was used to make the video. if the software has a good quality voice feature ,then the video voice will be good.

Youtube's video sound is always louder when playing music than any online music service. So much louder than Spotify.

I really enjoy listening to music on Youtube, though the site will usually lag videos about halfway through and stop playing.
