Using its Soundcore Signature preset and with the BassUp feature turned on, this speaker has a fairly even response that’s suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. With balanced mids, voices and other instruments are clear and present, though the dip in the high-mids also pushes them to the back of the mix. This dip carries over into the treble range, indicating that higher-pitched sounds like cymbals are dull and veiled. A graphic EQ and presets are on hand, so you can always switch up its sound. That said, given its smaller size, this speaker can’t bring the deep thump and rumble in the low-bass found with larger models, even with the BassUp feature on.
We chose to test the speaker with these settings because it represents the average of multiple EQ sweeps. You can see how other settings, like Voice and Balanced, perform at the graph here.
