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 but deep bass is lacking, and it is a bit boomy. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is not balanced, and it is somewhat grainy and congested, a bit hazy, thin, nasal. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is somewhat smeared and sizzly, a bit prominent and glassy. 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 small to 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 many features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Its rating of IP67 has complete protection against dust and particles, and has protection against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Versatility: It has many features users typically want and need. You can connect wirelessly to this speaker via a direct Bluetooth connection. There are no connection ports on this speaker. It has a proprietary party mode function for broadcasting music to other compatible JBL speakers. 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. There is no speakerphone functionality nor built-in microphone.
