The bass caliber lacks depth. I didn't have high expectations in a portable speaker, yet still, this performs lower than expected. It's loud enough for everyone but lacks fullness in sound quality. However, if you place it in a resonating area (in a box, on wood floors under a coffee table, etc), it's largely enhances the effectivity of the low-end tones.

Worked for 60 Days

Worked for 60 Days, then stopped working. Returned to Sams. Fortunately, it failed within return window.

Impressive considering it's size. I haven't experienced any bluetooth lag with videos on my iPhone or watching programming with my Roku. The specs indicate range between 60hz and 20k, so I ran a tone generator through it and found it actually goes down to 48-50hz as much as 60, but sharply rolls off at 45 and is pretty much nonexistent at 40, which again for the size of the little bass speaker is quite remarkable. The upper end of the spectrum appears to roll off around 13-14k, but that could possibly just be my ears more than the speakers themselves. Highly recommend.

Waste of money

If you want a speaker that constantly cuts out on you and there’s no “fix”, then this is the speaker for you. Honestly, the JBL website say it is fixable with a factory reset, but that doesn’t work either. They also tell you to place it away from other electronic devices and router. When that doesn’t work, they say to move it further away. After that fails, they stop responding and you are stuck with something not worth the cost of the materials it took to make it.
