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 fairly deep, and it is a touch boomy. 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 etched and nasal. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is a bit prominent, smeared, sizzly. Does a decent job of recovering room ambience. The soundfield extends a bit above and 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 many features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume. Other controls may require installing a mobile app, available from Apple and Android. Its rating of IP66 has complete protection against dust and particles, and has protection against high-pressure jets (e.g., heavy seas).
Versatility: Some useful features may be included but others that users typically want may be missing. 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 Lodge Sound speakers. If you have two of these speakers, you can use TWS to pair them for a wider stereo experience. It has preset tone settings to adjust different music types. There is no speakerphone functionality nor built-in microphone.
