Can't get close to reference if you try
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expect a lot out of a $550 Bluetooth speaker from Sony but this wasn't even close. The default sound with Mega Bass turned on is absurd and still too much with it off. Piercing high end and thunderous low end with nothing in the middle. With the app, I was able to use the custom EQ to drop the low almost as far as it would go and balance out the mid/high somewhat. But still, the very low frequency bass was rumbling. Maybe I'm just not the right audience for this speaker as I spend a good amount of time around reference monitors and professional sound equipment. But I had hoped to get a nice clean sound with the OPTION to go hard, not this.

Posted .Hi gamerguy, We're sorry to hear that the sound quality of this speaker did not meet your expectations. If you've already adjusted the EQ using the Sony Music Center app and you still feel that the bass response is too powerful, try to turn down the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
