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 decent impact but deep bass is lacking, and it is a bit subdued 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 plasticky. 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 somewhat to the sides, and a bit above 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 many features or accessories that add convenience during daily operation. Shortcut buttons on the console include: volume. 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.
