EXCELLENT speaker, with a few shortcomings.
With this small but mighty speaker barking out the Foo Fighters, I thought I would share a quick review for those considering it. Purchased from a local Best Buy in December, the speaker was relatively easy to set up, with minimal head-scratching as the instructions are basic at best. The speaker is gorgeous…gorgeous enough to convince my design loving GF that it was the right choice. Sound is deep (great bass for such a small primary speaker) and high tones are excellent. It very easily fills sound in the entirety of the main level of my house (1200 sq feet for the level it is located). The sounds is rich, deep, clear and delicate as needed. Really impressed with the speaker overall. Sound in all music genres I’ve listened to has been very good to excellent. Now as for the short-comings. As mentioned by other reviewers, the mid’s could be better and can sounds slightly weak compared to the high’s and bass. Thankfully the speaker’s app has a good adjustment for each so as to balance the sound as needed. The biggest issue I have is the inability to use dedicated music apps that can then play nicely with other apps in use. What I mean is that I almost solely use Apple Music, and playback will stop entirely when I then use my phone to look / open anything that has sound. So, no Facebook / Insta / Flipboard / YouTube etc if you are also streaming music directly from your phone - which is all I do. Each time a song is interrupted, which can occur just by scrolling on your phone and forgetting to turn off the phone’s sound (and sometimes not even then), you then have to go back to Apple Music and manually turn the song back on...it will not automatically start back up. It can be laborious. Just today I’d guess it’s happened a half dozen times. So, in short - it’s an excellent speaker, looks fantastic, fills up a small to average sound space with ease, and my only issues are the slightly weak mid’s and the very antiquated connectivity for music apps.
