Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a super high quality system. Overall, this thing is totally 5 stars. CHOOSING BETWEEN THE THREE MODELS I bought both a Fender Passport Event, and also a Passport Venue. I like the Event because it has Bluetooth which works really well for playing some music from my iPhone before the event starts. The weight between the Venue and Event is negligible. They essentially weight the same. In terms of output, the Event can hurt my ears, and the Venue can BLAST my ears out. I didn't think a speaker without direct power to each speaker could be SOOO loud. The main draw for the Venue, for my use, is the fact that you can record the audio coming out. Since I'm using these for a conference, I wanted to be able to record some of the presentations. I was wondering if the audio quality from the built-in recorder would be good enough to release as a paid product, and I'm happy to report that it is. The recorder built in is actually really nice quality. That's a HUGE selling point as far as I'm concerned. I just wish the Venue ALSO had Bluetooth. Ugh! SOUND QUALITY I'm very happy with the sound quality for speakers. Again, I'm primarily using this for a conference, so that's what I'm mostly concerned with. If I were using this for a music use, I'd probably want a little more bass than what it gives, but you can add a bass later if need be. BUILD QUALITY I love how these speakers fit together in a suitcase design. This makes them so much more portable than other systems and is much less of a hassle. They are quite heavy when it's together in the suitcase, but it's workable. CONNECTIONS I'm disappointed that the XLR inputs are not dual-purpose XLR and 1/4" they are ONLY XLR. That's a bit of a pain because the audio coming from my wireless mic system comes out as 1/4".
