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 deep, and it is somewhat tubby, and a bit prominent. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is fairly even, but it is somewhat hazy, a bit grainy and congested, a touch plasticky and sibilant. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is somewhat smeared and sizzly. 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 large sized room.
Ease of Use: The speaker has some features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume, linking to other speakers.
