Sound quality: Fugoo's Style XL had good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact but is somewhat pronounced and boomy and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is hazy and a bit nasal. Treble is sizzly, subdued and upper treble is muted. So-so recovery of room ambience, sounds somewhat congested, and lacks fine detail. No significant difference between Bluetooth and wired sound quality except that bass is more pronounced when wired. Provides a decent volume level in a medium sized room.
Ease of use: We found the system's ease of use to be good overall. The Fugoo Style XL connecting Bluetooth is easy. Controls are high contrast buttons that are in a prominent place, however there is nothing to indicate that it is a volume control except a + and - symbols. Works with line in and Bluetooth inputs. The +/- controls are also unlabeled multifunction for speakerphone and play control use. Switching sources between Bluetooth and wired source involves a plugging into an unlabeled line input - The line input has priority over Bluetooth when plugged in with slight or no delay. Must unplug to regain connection to Bluetooth. There are verbal cues that clearly state what function is active.
