    Bought this for my son’s 31st birthday. Was going to get one a little smaller one for less money, but after hearing this model, we just bought it. The highs are very clear due to the 3 tweezers, and dual speaker woofers put out a strong punchy bass. The battery lasts about 30 hours. He absolutely loves it. The only thing you need to be conscious of is its weight. He’s 31 and pretty strong so it’s not an issue. I on the other hand am 72; I can move it where I want without too much of a problem, but wouldn’t want to pack it up a flight of stairs as an example. If you don’t mind the weight, then it’s a no brainer.
