So much potential!!! But failed so miserably!!!
Great build quality!!! You get the feeling that the people from Anker really know what they're doing!!! But then, I turned on the unit and started playing music through my app (PowerAmp on an LG V20) and it was all downhill from there. Above 50% volume, the distortion is TERRIBLE!!! Turned down all the low frequencies. The unit was still trying to pump out bass because I could still HEAR and FEEL the woofers [trying to compensate?] Is it trying adjust my music for me? I played with the and equalizer and phone settings all off and the final verdict is: I'M SENDING IT BACK!!! I have owned an Anker A7908 cube speaker for many years and even though the sound wasn't powerful, it was a great little speaker with great mids and clarity and I love it still. Decided to upgrade to get some better bass. Going to have to go with another speaker. This one is not cooperating. The sad thing is that the speakers have so much potential!!! They could be so amazing!!! But something inside the speaker is trying to compensate for the low frequencies even after I turn them all down. I wanted to love this speaker, I really did, but it's going back!!! Update 11/22/2018 I gave it to a buddy and it works for him. He likes it. It doesn't distort for him. Must be something with my phone. Sound is powerful and hopefully it lasts a long time for him because it's an Anker product. I replaced it with an Anker SoundCore XL Sport - that one sucks. That one is definitely going back. Next stop, JBL Charge 4. 12/4/2018 Ended up buying a JBL Charge 4. No quirks with that one. It worked as it should right out of the box. Sound is awesome!
