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 and goes fairly deep, and it is a bit prominent and boomy. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is fairly even, but it is somewhat hazy and congested, a bit grainy, a touch etched and nasal. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is a bit smeared, sizzly, dry. 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, input selection. This home speaker does not provide a remote control.

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. Connection ports on this speaker includes a 3.5mm input, as well as: usb device charging port can also be used to connect a chromecast or similar device, to make the speaker wifi enabled. If you have two of these speakers, you can use TWS to pair them for a wider stereo experience. There are no tone control or EQ settings for customizing your listening experience.
