Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay I technically bought this from Best Buy, but wanted to put a review in here for others looking for a small speaker with great sound. I went through the JBL Flip 2, Sony SRSXB3, Bose Soundtouch, and finally tried this Onyx at the end and it won out. The sound quality is in the order I went through the various tests. Both the JBL and Sony's still sounded very tin-like, with the JBL's having the weakest bass. For me the worst thing is when the speakers make the sound emit like it's stuck in the speaker box, versus being a part of the ambience. The Bose was okay, but the sound quality was not worth the price tag is the issue. Yes it has awesome other features like the channels and remote control, but that just isn't worth an extra $100. One of the workers suggested Onyx, which I'd never used before and though obviously they aren't as great as a larger high quality speaker system, they are very balanced. The Bose did have a stronger bass sound, but in turn, it also was muffled and sounded "wongy" versus the Onyx whose bass was a bit weaker, but the overall sound was crisper without having a high treble or midi. It also did what I was hoping, which was having the music not sound like it was coming from a tiny box. I tested pop, hip hop, ballads, and classical. Great job, Onyx.
