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 deep, and it is tubby, and somewhat prominent. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is somewhat grainy, hazy, congested, plasticky, a bit muffled. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is subdued, somewhat smeared and sizzly. Does a not so good job of recovering room ambience. The soundfield extends not much above or 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.

A handle is conveniently included to help with carrying or moving the speaker.
