Detailed Test Results

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 decent impact but deep bass is lacking, and it is somewhat subdued and boomy. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is somewhat grainy and congested, a bit hazy, plasticky, nasal. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is lacking in extension, and it is somewhat smeared, a bit subdued. 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 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, input selection. A handle is conveniently included to help with carrying or moving the speaker. Its rating of IPX5 has no protection from dust and objects, but has protection against low-pressure jets (e.g., from a nozzle).

Versatility: It is packed with features users typically want and need. You can connect wirelessly to this speaker via a direct Bluetooth connection. Connection ports on this speaker includes a 3.5mm input, as well as: usb device charging port also offers audio host mode, 1/4" mic input. If you have two of these speakers, you can use TWS to pair them for a wider stereo experience. To optimize your listening experience, you can fine tune the EQ levels, and it has preset tone settings to adjust different music types. It has a built-in FM tuner. There is no speakerphone functionality nor built-in microphone.
