" ... Super clear sound & loud & the extra bass & the light bar/strobe lights make a great addition if you wanna party a little. ... "
" ... It’s a midsize speaker that packs a punch . ... The extra bass setting is a must it sounds full and rich with strong but not overpowering bass and great mids. ... Without the extra bass the sound is flat and bland but the extra bass provides a much needed thump to the music. ... "
" ... Good sound and the extra bass gives it a extra punch. ... "
" ... Love these speakers, sound quality and bass volume is great, would definitely recommend to everyone interested in great bluetooth speakers. ... "
" ... The bass boost was very necessary for me since I wanted to hear the bass thump (helps keep my rhythm while jumping rope) and living on a farm with a lot of potential wind blowing across the farm field and/or farm equipment noise can drown out the music quickly. ... For those of you who are less versed in how bass works, bass thumps when there is a good seal or containment of the soundwaves. ... For a headphone to have better bass, all you have to do is get earpads that seal the phones to your ear. ... This is why Beats have too much bass, the seal to the ears doesn't leak the soundwaves out. ... The fact that it still has bass outside, while not distorting the mids and highs much is a testimony to the engineering. ... Yes there are snobs in these reviews who claim that you shouldn't like or want "boosted" bass . ... I hate boosted bass on my headphones because I have good amps and good headphones that will amplify that distortion and make it sound worse. ... "
" ... Awesome speaker, good bass even with the bass button turned off. ... Great for rap, hip hop and dance music. ... Rock music can sound a bit muddy unless you like bass lines. ... "

" ... Excellent sound quality, quite possibly the best mid-size Bluetooth speaker that I have ... "
