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 good impact but does not go deep, and it is a bit prominent and boomy. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is not balanced, and it is somewhat grainy, hazy, congested, a bit thin and nasal. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is extended, but it is smeared and sizzly. Does a so-so 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 medium 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, input selection. A handle is conveniently included to help with carrying or moving the speaker. Its rating of IPX2 has no protection from dust and objects, but has protection against dripping water when tilted up to 15°.

Versatility: It has many 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. To customize your listening experience, you can adjust treble or bass levels. There is no speakerphone functionality nor built-in microphone.
