What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it delivers powerful sound with deep, extended bass, and like its retro design, bass and treble controls and HDMI and RCA inputs. PCMag criticises support for only the SBC Bluetooth codec and heard slight distortion on some tracks at top volume; RTINGS notes it lacks the Wi-Fi and voice assistant features of similarly priced rivals.
