Detailed Test Results

Sound Quality: Overall, we found the speaker delivers near accurate and detailed sound. Expect fewer distortions or other audio issues. The bass, which covers instruments such as bass drums, bass guitars, or stand-up bass, has good impact and goes fairly deep, and it is somewhat boomy, and a bit prominent. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is fairly even, but it is a bit congested, a touch grainy and sibilant. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is somewhat sizzly, a bit prominent, a touch smeared. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience. The soundfield extends somewhat above, and a bit to the sides of the speakers, and It has not much depth. Volume is enough to fill a medium to large sized room. If you choose to pair this speaker with another, the stereo set can be placed to provide better separation than other models.

Ease of Use: The speaker has some features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume. Other controls may require installing a mobile app, available from Apple and Android. This home speaker does not provide a remote control.

Versatility: It is packed with features users typically want and need. You can connect wirelessly to this speaker via a direct Bluetooth connection or over a WiFi network. Connection ports on this speaker includes a 3.5mm input. If you have two of these speakers, you can use TWS to pair them for a wider stereo experience. Streaming services include: Airplay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect. To optimize your listening experience, you can fine tune the EQ levels.
