I personally have loved listening to most music on it, as it really excels in delivering a full, well-rounded impression of the mid-range that you’d normally get from a much larger speaker.

Uh the sound is quite big uh and it has an X base uh feature and the sound is quite big for its size I have to say. Um what they've done different um if you compare it to the Stormbox Micro version one um is the battery uh capacity it's a bit bigger. So previously on the older model you will get up to 8 hours.

I already have two of the ones and I've been pleasantly surprised about those for being micro speakers. I usually assume that micro speakers are very dull sounding, doesn't have that dynamic bass and whatnot, but these are the exception to the norm. I think uh I would say that JBL, for example, you would have to get a JBL Flip series if you want dynamic sound.
