Just Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded better in the store than at home. The bass was so muddy that I had to turn it off (I figured out how), and with the bass off it's cleaner, but still seems a little muddy. For background noise it's good, but to try to understand midrange lyrics, it's not the best out there. Overall, I've decided to keep it because the battery life is good, it's portable, and a big improvement over laptop speakers. Bluetooth connection is stable and works over long distance from phone, which is also a nice quality.
