Sound Quality: Overall, we found the speaker delivers middling sound quality. Expect some 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 tubby, and a bit prominent. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is not balanced, and it is somewhat hazy and congested, a bit grainy, a touch muffled. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is a bit sizzly, a touch smeared. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience. The soundfield extends a bit above, and not much to the sides of the speakers, and while individual instruments and voices are identifiable, they only have a two dimensional quality. 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 many features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume, input selection, linking to other speakers. A handle is conveniently included to help with carrying or moving the speaker. Its rating of IP54 means some dust may enter but won't affect operation, and has protection from splashing water from any direction.
Versatility: Some useful features may be included but others that users typically want may be missing. You can connect wirelessly to this speaker via a direct Bluetooth connection. Connection ports on this speaker includes xlr - 1/4 inch combo jack, 3.5mm aux line out. It has a proprietary party mode function for broadcasting music to other compatible Fender Audio speakers. If you have two of these speakers, you can use TWS to pair them for a wider stereo experience. To customize your listening experience, you can adjust treble or bass levels. There is no speakerphone functionality nor built-in microphone.
