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 somewhat boomy, and a bit prominent. Midrange, such as guitars, horns, and voices from music or podcasts, is fairly even, but it is a bit grainy, hazy, congested. Treble, which may include cymbals or the upper range of violins, is fairly extended, but it is a bit prominent and smeared. Does a good 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 to large sized room.
