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 a bit prominent and boomy. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is even, but it is somewhat hazy, a bit grainy and congested, a touch sibilant. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is extended, but it is a bit sizzly, 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 while individual instruments and voices are identifiable, they only have a two dimensional quality. Volume is enough to fill a medium 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 plenty of features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume, linking to other speakers. Other controls may require installing a mobile app, available from Apple and Android. A strap is conveniently included to help with carrying or moving the speaker.
