      Hi MuahMan, Thank you for taking the time to review the XG500 X-Series Portable Wireless Speaker. We apologize for any inconvenience. The technology in the XG500 works in harmony for a better sound quality. The X-Balanced Speaker Unit gives deep, punchy bass and vocal clarity even with loud sound. A High-efficiency Tweeter provides crisp and spacious sound for high-frequencies. Passive radiators optimize to reproduce clear bass sound. Put it all together and you get a great sound worth sharing with your friends.
